The Rhythm Section (18) - what's it about? After her family are killed on a plane, Blake goes on a quest to get revenge.
I wasn't sure what this would be like as I hadn't seen the adverts and just saw the synopsis, but I thought I'd give it a go. It was actually pretty good, it was a lot grittier than I thought it would be. It was a little slow in parts where she was training but it gave a good insight into what made her and gave her the strength to achieve what she wanted to. It also has some really ouch scenes so be prepared for that lol. Yeah, it's a good watch, you may like it if you like a good bit of an investigative story and some gritty violence.

Dolittle (PG) - what's it about? Dr Dolittle returns and goes on an adventure to find the fruit of the Eden Tree so he can save the Queen of England.
I'd seen the adverts for this and thought it might go either way, some of these films that they are re-doing are bad and others good. This is a continuation though of the story, not the same beginning re-hashed so that was quite good to see. If you find talking animals amusing and have a silly sense of humour this will be right up your street. It's a typical kids film though, the story isn't too complex but its enough to enjoy, yeah I found it quite amusing and enjoyable.

Transformers: Age of Extinction (DVD – 12) - what's it about? The Autobots are on the run, and a company creates its own Transformers, which doesn't turn out too well.
This one is with a completely different cast, so don't expect to see the re-occurring characters that you saw in all the previous Transformer movies, the only ones that return are the Transformers themselves. So, in a way this is a kind of re-boot movie to the franchise, where the previous story acre had ended, so this is kind of a fresh story but at the same time if you've seen the others it's a carry on in a way. Its filled with what you expect, lots of machines fighting it out and lots of special effects. I'd say it's maybe not as good as the others but it's still an enjoyable watch.

Riddick
(DVD – 15) - what's it
about? Riddick is stranded on a planet and must survive bounty hunters and
everything there that wants to eat him.
I decided to give this a
re-watch as I hadn't seen it since it was released in the cinema, I do love the
Riddick series of films, they are pretty good but they are pretty similar in
some ways to each other. If you want a good action film with some violence and
you appreciate the series then this will be right up your street. With this one
though and the way it is done, you don't necessarily need to know the full back
story of the character and universe as it does go over a few bits, but of
course that always helps with getting the more depth to the plot. Yeah its a
good continuation to the story, so I think its worth a look, even though its
not the best in the series.
