With just 48 hours to live, the only hope is to create an antidote from fresh venom — but to do that, someone will have to figure out how to milk a Graboid!

<><><>

Dear me this is a silly film in the Tremors franchise...
That is my view although this is the first in the series that I have watched.
The visual and special effects are good enough but the storyline was at times a bit suspect.
Fans should like this but to be honest I did not.

UK certificate PG
120 mins

Genre : Biography/Drama/History/War

Directed by : Joe Wright

Starring : Gary Oldman/Lily James/Kristin Scott Thomas

<><><>

During World War II, as Adolf Hitler's awesomely powerful Wehrmacht rampages across Europe, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Neville Chamberlain, is forced to resign, recommending Winston Churchill as his replacement.

However difficult and dangerous his decision may be, Churchill has no choice but to shine in the country's darkest hour.

<><><>

Superb performance by Oldman as Winston Churchill complimented by an excellent supporting cast, all of which transports you to that period in WW2.,.
The Script and storyline is a solid piece of work as is the cinematography.
However being a drama might not suit every one and ohhh there are some historical inaccuracies....
But as I keep on saying as long as the film entertains and this certainly did all is well.

The 15:17 To Paris
UK certificate 15
94 mins

Image

Genre : Biography/Drama

Directed by : Clint Eastwood

Starring : Alek Skarlatos/Anthony Sadler/Spencer Stone

<><><>

In the early evening of August 21, 2015, the world watched in stunned silence as the media reported a thwarted terrorist attack on Thalys train #9364 bound for Paris--an attempt prevented by three courageous young Americans traveling through Europe. The film follows the course of the friends' lives, from the struggles of childhood through finding their footing in life, to the series of unlikely events leading up to the attack. Throughout the harrowing ordeal, their friendship never wavers, making it their greatest weapon and allowing them to save the lives of the more than 500 passengers on board.

<><><>

The performances were ok but the storyline, in my view, dwelled to much on the early years.
Clint Eastwood's direction has seen better days so I think retirement beckons.
So all in all an average drama which had mixed reviews.

6/10







Sequence Break

A surreal sci-fi romance wherein a beautiful young woman and strange metaphysical forces threaten the reality of a reclusive video arcade technician, resulting in bizarre biomechanical mutations and a shocking self-realization.

<><><>

A rather bizarre film which lacked the horror element.
The performances were so so as was the storyline line but the special effects were fine.
One for sci-fi fans who like a twisted tale.

5/10

Storming Juno is a film based on the remarkable and determined actions of a handful of young Canadian men who stormed Juno Beach on June 6, 1944. D-Day.

<><><>

Action all the way with a mix of present day acting and archive film.
The special and visual effects were excellent but let down a tad by some sloppy editing.
I enjoyed this film as it certainly showed the hell that is war..

Crossing the line from law-abiding citizen to wanted criminal, Harold battles to survive his increasingly dangerous situation in ways that raise the question: Is he out of his depth - or two steps ahead?

<><><>

A gritty black comedy with good performances from the principles.
However the screenplay was average and uneven, editing and direction not upto standard,
but was compensated for by good characterization.
So if you like black comedy you may like this...

<><><>

Games rarely make good films but Tomb Raider does ok even though a re-boot....Not as good as Assassins Creed but streets ahead of Farcry and in some ways better than the original outing.
That said the storyline deviates from the original game story so fans of the game may not like that.
The visual effects could have been better to and seem to have done to a tight budget.
Personally, are liked the film..

A good action movie with Cage on top form.

A rather dull and average movie but with some good acting from the principles.
As I have often said good Sci-Fi cannot be done on a low budget and so it is here.
The visual effects were poor then just acceptable

The PPDC now calls upon the best and brightest to rise up and become the next generation of heroes when the Kaiju threat returns.

<><><>

Not as good as the original and to my mind geared more for kids than adults.
That said I did enjoy the ride where visual effects come into there own.
Performances were ok as was the storyline....

<><><>

A violent, bloody action remake of the 1974 Bronson's movie...

My only niggle was Willis seemingly laid back portrayal of the character Dr. Kersey.
But that is just nit picking because I enjoyed the ride.
