Rampage
(12A) – what’s it
about? A gorilla ends up being super-sized and must protect Chicago from being
squashed by a giant wolf and crocodile.
I was hoping this was
going to be like a classic monster flick, giant creatures on the rampage and
fun stuff like that, and it was but sadly there was a lot more of the not. It
had a big budget so high end graphics and some well-known actors but it didn’t
wow compared to films like Pacific Rims monster mayhem. Yeah its ok, you can
just to leave your brain at the door and watch a bit of giant creatures
smashing shit up, just may be don’t expect to come out super hyped.

Truth
or Dare (15) – what’s
it about? A bunch of stupid uni students go on Sprint Break to Mexico and get
caught in playing a game that kills its players.
So, this is one of those
where you hope the entire cast gets killed because all the characters are so
freaking annoying. It was ok, it wasn’t scary or anything of the sort and it
wasn’t gory either, just your mediocre horror film much in the same vein as
Final Destination, it was very predictable and there was nothing new or special
in it. It’s something to watch to pass the time, but I wouldn’t rush to watch
it on the big screen, it’s probably better sitting at home on the sofa in the
dark with just your friends around you. 2 * is probably being way too harsh, it’s
probably worth 2 ½ as it was ok just nothing special.
