Movies: What Dreams May Come (DVD – 15), Superhero Movie (DVD – 12A), Flightplan (DVD – 15), Event Horizon (DVD – 18), Sunshine – (DVD – 15), Mrs Doubtfire (DVD – PG), Dracula Dead and Loving It (DVD – PG) & Matilda (DVD – PG)

What Dreams May Come (DVD – 15) – what’s it about? A guy dies and goes to heaven, then finds out his wife committed suicide so has gone to hell. He goes on a quest to find her and bring her to heaven.

This is a really serious movie, I think I cried for the first part of it, it’s one of those that is really emotional and you just need a box of tissues – be warned. It’s a pretty deep and depressing movie but it does have some good stuff and has some interesting plot throughout it. Its good but you have to be in the right mental place to watch it. It made me cry too much and made my mood too low so that’s why I’m giving it a lower rating.

Rating: **

Superhero Movie (DVD – 12A) – what’s it about? A spoof movie where a guy gets bitten by a dragonfly and gets superpowers.

I watched this just because I like comic stuff and everything so I thought it might be amusing. If you have seen all the superhero stuff then you’ll completely get this and it’ll give you a few chuckles. If you haven’t seen all the comic stuff or don’t find it interesting or amusing, then you probably should give this one a miss.

Rating: ***

Flightplan (DVD – 15) – what’s it about? A woman wakes up on a plan to find out her daughter has disappeared and she has to try to find her.

I hate planes, why do they have to make movies about planes? Oh well this was another might as well give it a go. It was a good one, it was interesting and it has some good plot to it with some good twists and turns. I was thinking it was going to be over quickly but then it’s like watching a whole new film. I actually enjoyed it in the end.

Rating: ***

Event Horizon (DVD – 18) – what’s it about? A ship’s crew go and investigate a ship that’s returned from going into a black hole.

There be weirdness going on right there. This is a really strange, dark-horror type movie, I don’t know why but it kind of reminded me of Hellraiser in a way. What lurks beyond in a twisted world and all that. It was good, it had its moments, yeah it’s a little dated now but it was still a good bit of twisted entertainment which was enjoyable to see.

Rating: ***

Sunshine (DVD – 15) – what’s it about? The Earths sun is dying and a ship and her crew are sent out on a mission to rejuvenate the sun.

Holy shit! Holy Shit! This freaking movie is the best movie I have seen in a long while, I was like sitting on the edge of my seat for most of it. The story is great, the characters were all interesting and suspense was pretty intense. Yeah this one is definitely worth seeing if you like a good believable sci-fi suspense movie! Go watch it!

Rating: *****

Mrs Doubtfire (DVD – PG) – what’s it about? A husband and wife get a divorce and the father battles to see his children by secretly becoming their nanny.

I’ve seen this movie quite a few times over the years but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it so I thought I’d re-watch it. I don’t know though this time around I found it a little creepy in parts. Though I could relate to some of it when the getting changed into cosplay and so that gave it a bit more amusement where before it was just funny because. It’s still a heart-warming story in the end, it’s a good nice family film.

Rating: ***

Dracula Dead and Loving It (DVD – PG) – what’s it about? A spoof movie based on the traditional story of Dracula.

So after I watched “Superhero Movie” I was like man I really want to watch Dracula Dead and Loving it – so I did. This is another good spoof movie, if you like Dracula and vampire movies then you totally should watch this one, well that’s if you would like a laugh about it all. I loved this as a teenager and seeing it again after all these years it’s still good, it’s got some good one liners in it that have stuck with me over the years. Yeah just thinking about this one makes me giggle, but then again I am a vampire obsessed nutjob so I probably enjoyed it more than other people would.

Rating: ***

Matilda (DVD – PG) – what’s it about? A really clever girl who has a bad family, she gets her wish of going to school and this is the story of her adventure.

Her family are so mean and horrible, but its ok because she meets some nice people along the way that keep her spirits up but she meets some horrid ones too. Is it wrong that I came away from watching this thinking man I want to cosplay Mrs Trunchbull? Anyway yeah it’s one of those nice family stories that both the kids and adults can enjoy, its got a good few moments that’ll make everyone giggle.
