Pete’s
Dragon (2016) (PG) –
What’s it about? This is a remake of the story of Pete and his magical dragon
friend.
I know I must have seen
the original of this but I can’t for the life of me remember it, from what I’ve
been told though this is a complete re-imagining of the story and not just a reboot.
I have to admit for a kid’s movie this was pretty good, it was nothing
spectacular but I’m sure the little ones will enjoy the magicalness of it, I
know I did!

The
Shallows (15) –
What’s it about? A woman goes surfboarding and ends up being attacked by a
shark, can she survive until she’s rescued?
I thought to myself
before seeing this one how can they make a movie about a woman being stuck on a
rock for like ages…this is going to be crap. That said though this was a bloody
great movie, it’s got a good lot of suspense and thrills in it and some ewww
moments. Though I don’t know why people can’t obey the rule: Don’t Get Eaten!
It’s not that hard really.

Nerve
(15) – What’s it
about? A bunch of students end up playing a game where people give them dares
and if they succeed they win money and popularity.
This one imo could have
gone either way; it could be great or shit depending on how it was made. Even
though some of the characters were really annoying, it was a good watch but there
was nothing really out of this world about it. Yeah it’s a pretty interesting concept
though and I can totally see something like this happening at some point,
that’s if it doesn’t already. Some people are stupid and they’d play something
like it!

Swallows
& Amazons (PG) –
What’s it about? The story of two groups of children who battle it out for
their claim of the island.
This is one of those
movies that you just watch, it’s nothing overly special or thrilling, it’s just
there…you know a typical Sunday afternoon movie. I don’t know maybe this will
have more of an appeal to children, I personally wasn’t over struck by it, it
was alright but nothing more. I’d probably wait until it’s on DVD or TV as it’s
not something you have to rush to the cinema to see.

The
Purge: Election Year (15)
– What’s it about? The rules of The Purge have changed and a senator must
survive the wrath of the NFFA.
So the third movie in
the Purge series and by now you know the purge and what it’s all about. The
first movie as you know just is survival and set the scene, the second starts
more of the story and this one continues on loosely from there and gives a bit
more than just mindless killing. That said though the story is done in a way
you don’t really have to see the others but if you have it gives it more. It’s
again filled with lots of action, survival intensity and blood, and it’s the
Purge so it’s very well done!

War
Dogs (15) – What’s it
about? Based on a true story, a couple of unlikely arms dealers land a massive
government contract.
I wasn’t sure on this
from the adverts and stuff but thought it might be interesting so decided to
see it. I didn’t really have much of an expectation for it but that said it
turned out to be a really interesting and entertaining movie. It had some good
comedy but at the same time it was serious and by the end of it you have to ask
yourself how much of it was true to life and how much was fabricated but for a
movie it’s pretty random and good.

Mechanic:
Resurrection (15) –
What’s it about? The assassin for hire gets called out of retirement to take on
three impossible kills.
Well this is another Jason
Statham movie – so you know the drill by now, action, fighting, guns, explosions
and some story to tie it all together. This is another good mindless movie but
what is there to expect from an action movie now-a-days, sadly most of it has
all been done before in some way, shape or form but it’s still a great source
of entertainment! I liked it as it was just what was needed! J

Mad
Max (1979) (DVD – 15)
– What’s it about? The world’s gone to shit and Max takes on a biker gang.
I haven’t seen this one
for a long while and thought I might as well re-watch it, it’s still a good
movie but it’s kind of lost something about it over the years, maybe it’s just
that I remember there being a lot more to it than what there was, but that’s
clearly my mind playing tricks on me. It’s still a good movie though filled
with action and car chases, lots of violence and all that stuff.
