Onward
(U) - what's it about?
Two brothers go on a quest to find a gem which will bring their father back
from the dead for a day.
Ok I'd been waiting for
this for ages. It's the latest Pixar creation, featuring all new characters and
stuff which is cool, as it's nice to have something fresh and new from them.
This really doesn't disappoint, as a geek I really found the characters quite funny
and could relate to them a lot, I'm not sure a non-nerdy person would find it
as amusing though. Yeah its a good little adventure story which has some fun
characters and a good little story to boot. Yep its definitely as good as I was
hoping for!

Military
Wives (12A) - what's it
about? Based on the true story of the formation of the first Military Wives
Choir.
I wanted to see this
because it seemed quite good from the adverts, and as a movie it was actually
pretty good. It does have quite a few funny moments in it but also some sad
ones, I think I shed a tear several times in this, not full on balling but I had
a few moments. I'm not sure how much of it is true, but if you have any
Military connection you would probably like this more as you could relate to
the lifestyle more than someone who doesn't. Yeah if you'd like a laugh and a
cry and watch a good girlie story this is worth a look - that said it'll
probably appeal more to the older audience.

Fantasy
Island (15) - what's it
about? A group of people have won a holiday to fantasy island where they can
have one desire come true.
I saw the adverts and
thought it would be worth a watch as it looked like it could be a good horror. It
was pretty average on the scare scale, it was good don't get me wrong, but it
wasn't really scary in my book. The characters were good, but it was a pretty
predictable film - mostly. Yeah it was good to pass the time, so if you like a
little bit of horror in your life but don't want to be scared shitless or
grossed out by too much gore then this is worth a look. Yeah it was good but
just sadly not really really good.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay
Part 1 (DVD - 12A) - what's it about? A continuation of
The Hunger Games story where Katniss helps fuel the rebellion.
I thought I'd give this
one a re-watch as I haven't seen it in a bit. It's one of those that you need
to have watched all the previous films to know what's going on as this is a
proper continuation of the storyline. It was one of those though where they
decided to split the film into two different parts, maybe to get the story in
or maybe to make more money, but they probably could have just done long film -
but I haven't seen the last part in a while so maybe with a re-watch I'll
change my mind. Yeah, it's pretty good and it does do enough to keep it going, yeah,
it's an enjoyable watch that kept me entertained for a couple of hours.
