Movies: Rio 2 (U), Apocalypto (DVD – 18), Avatar (DVD – 12)

Rio 2 – what’s it about? Blu and his family find out they are not the only ones in existence – they travel to the Amazon to seek out the others of their kind…and try to save the forest in the process…

If you’ve seen the first one you know what to expect – more dancing and singing birds – and in the same humour as the first one…slapstick stuff. Bright and colourful – ok family orientated story – you know it’s one of those Sunday afternoon leave you brain at the door and just watch it movies…it’s alright for a kids movie and is amusing in parts.

Apocalypto – what’s it about? The story of Jaguar Paw, who’s village is ravaged by the Mayan people – they are captured and taken to be sacrificed as offerings to appease the gods…

This is up there – in my best movies ever list – I’ve loved this for years and every time I watch it – it’s epic story of survival – awesomely acted – action based – heart pumping scenes – draw me in deep. If you love movies with action – story – history – and tribal stuff – then you’ll love this…don’t be fooled though it’s not for the faint hearted as in parts it’s pretty icky! Definitely watch this if you’ve never seen it!!!!! Pure win! I should probably say - it has subtitles...

Avatar – what’s it about? It’s the future and humanity has the ability to travel to other planets and in their greed they extract minerals from an alien planet, its indigenous people try to protect it from the humans, and one ex-marine joins them in their fight.

Dude is pure gold and is way up there and has been for years!! This movie has three of my main most favourite things in it...sc-fi – blue people – and tribal stuff…and of course the blue people have fangs which makes it more awesome. The story is epic and awesome – the acting is amazing – the action scenes are perfect – the graphics are superb – there is not one thing I dislike about this movie – apart from that fact humans really suck and it really echos home the fact you know people would do something like that…and probably will at some point in the future. If you haven’t seen this then go and watch it now!!!!! You will not regret it…
