Mystery
Men - what’s it about? A rag tag group of failing superheroes as they struggle
to get recognised by the world – they battle to save a legendary superhero from
the clutches of an evil villain and attempt to stop his evil plan *evil laugh*
It’s
stupid – silly – and funny...ish. Superheroes are cool – but these ones not so
much…but they are trying to help – give them some credit! It has some chuckles
in it – but nothing hysterical…a bit of light comedy entertainment though
nothing special.

Red Lights - what’s
it about? Two psychologists who try to disprove the existence of paranormal
abilities and supernatural forces set out to disprove the psychic abilities of
an individual…
I
wasn’t expecting much from this – thought it was going to be really naff and
maybe a little meh – but it kept my interest – had some really good twists –
and was pretty damn enjoyable…worth a look if you liked the sixth sense…it’s
that type of movie…
What's it about? A team of
explorers are forced to make a trip through the Stargate where they are
propelled to an 8 chevron address and land aboard the Destiny - an Ancient
spaceship set on a course on the other side of the universe - they are the
wrong team and are not prepared for this situation - the story follows their
struggle to survive and find their way home...
The
question is do you love Stargate? Do you love Battlestar Galactica? Would you
like to see a Stargate Battlestar Galactica style?...if the answer is yes -
then you'll love this. If you want your Stargate to be Stargate then you'll
probably be disappointed. This is a bit more adult than SG1 - a lot more story
based - about the characters rather than aliens - and less humorous. The first
season sets the scene - gives you character stories and backgrounds - the
second season begins the more plot story about the now...sadly it was cut after
2 seasons - so it does leave you hanging but it's still worth checking out!!!!
Do it!!!!!
22 Jump Street – What’s it about? A
pair of odd cops go undercover at a university to try to stop a drug lord…
The
best thing to answer this is – did you see the first one? Did you like it? – if
the answer is no then whatever you do – do not go and see this movie…if though you loved it - then get there now! It is the
same as the first one but in uni – so kinda pretty rehashed – mixed humour
– but nothing wildly hysterical…pretty average really…

Inkheart – What’s it about? A
girl finds out her father has the ability to bring characters from books to
life – can they try to stop the baddie who wants to destroy them all?
An
interesting concept – with some interesting characters and ideas – quite kiddy
– but still enjoyable if you’re an adult – a good chill out movie as doesn’t
take much thinking – I’d say it’s not overly exciting but a good watch…
Maleficent – the story of the
evil mistress from the Disney Sleeping Beauty fairytale…
I
was really impressed with this one – and yes I did go “oooooh wings – I want
those wings” *No-Face hand grabbing action*. This was a fab film – for a
kids/adultish-kids movie – wasn’t as dark as I was expecting but its Disney so
you know. Great story that gives you some cool things you didn’t know before –
a little bit of fighting – and some awesome fairy folk creatures! I’d say go
see this in the cinema if you get chance – but if you’re a hard nose…you may
not like it.

Edge of Tomorrow – an officer who’s
dumped back down to a Private finds himself trying to survive a war to save
humanity from an alien race…
Guns
+ aliens + Tom Cruise = win! This film was pretty damn epic – and considering its
like groundhog-day in space – it was surprisingly not annoying with it
repeating the same day over and over and over and over. There were a couple of
meh moments – but overall it was an alien action bonanza. If you like
sci-finess then definitely get yourself to the cinema nipperdy-split!

A Million Ways to Die in the West – a man falls for the new woman in town
and his courage is put to the test against her gun-slinging husband…
No
no no no no!!!! This film was miss-sold! There is not a million ways to die in
the west in it – at all – not even close to a million – maybe more like what
20ish…I was highly disappointed by this fact! heh. Ok it was a pretty good
movie for a comedy – though I truthfully was expecting more people to die in
it. The plot was ok – though it could have been a bit shorter as it dragged in
parts – the comedy was a good mix…yes I did actually laugh quite a lot in this
one – and one part did set me off pretty bad – was one of those moments where
you’re left laughing for ages and everyone else in the cinema has gone quiet *embarrassed*.
You don’t really need to see this at the cinema but you know it kinda worth
looking into if you’d like a chuckle.

Hancock (DVD) – a washed out
superhero tries to find his way back into the favour of the people he protects…
I’ve
seen this a couple of times – and every time I watch it I expect it to start
differently! The movie is great though – an alcoholic superhero – that causes
more chaos and damage than he does good! Come on you know if there were people
with proper super-powers they’d at least be one like this…it’s a good movie – entertaining with story and action and laughs.

Woman in Black (DVD –
2012)
– a lawyer travels to a remote village to take care of some business – and
comes face to face with a vengeful ghost…
I’ve
heard this raved about – and how scary it is for a 12…and to tell you the truth
I was a little disappointed – but probably because I had hopes for it! Yeah it
was damn scary for a 12 – I so wouldn’t show this to little people – at all –
ever – they’ll have a few sleepless nights from it – no just because it’s got
Harry Potter in it doesn’t mean it’s going to be anything like that!!!! Be
warned! It was pretty spooky…though I did get a little bored in parts – it lacked
a lot of that edge of your seatness I like about horrors – but it’s worth
seeing – on a cold dark night at home…preferable when you’re home alone – and
with the lights off *evil laugh*
