Hi All, Watched another low budget film based on a true story 'Any Day' (Sky Movies) not bad if I am honest once you get past Sean Beans American accent (You can still here the Sheffield in him ) On the whole though I enjoyed the film.....
Starring:- Sean Bean,Kate Walsh,Eva Longoria,Tom Arnold,Shane Black,Paul Ben-Victor,Willa Ford and Leonard Roberts.
Vian McLean (Sean Bean) is an ex fighter who is filled with resentment. He killed a man with his bare hands and has just spent the last twelve years in prison for the crime. Upon his release from Prison he comes to stay with his Sister Bethley (Kate Walsh) and her son Jimmy who gets to know Vian and looks up to his uncle as the greatest man he has ever known. Vian struggles to find a job and does and then meets a girl Jolene (Eva Longoria) and falls in love and everything seems to be working out, but when a tragic event happens Vian is thrown into a dark place and faces the greatest challenge of his life only to be shown the right path in a sudden experience that will alter his life for ever.

Watched Heat again last night one of my favourite films ever.great performance from De Niro and Pacino Cheers The advisors for the shooting sequences were Andy McNab and Mick Gould both former British special forces.In June of 2002, the scene involving the shootout after the bank robbery was shown to United States Marine recruits at MCRD San Diego as an example of the proper way to retreat while under fire.

Hi All, Can you tell there's not much on the box.....
I watched another low budget film 'The Drop' (Sky Movies) an excellent crime drama with a good ending I really enjoyed it and well recommended...... Starring:- Tom Hardy,Noomi Rapace,James Gandolfini,Matthias Schoenaerts,John Ortiz,Evandro Torres,Elizabeth Rodriguez,Michael Aronov,Morgan Spector,Michael Esper,Ross Bickell,James Frecheville,Tobias Segal,Patricia Squire,Ann Dowd, andChris Sullivan.
Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy) tends bar in his cousin's pub and looks the other way when local mobsters use the joint as a temporary bank. His simple life takes a complicated turn when he finds a battered puppy. He asks his neighbor, Nadia (Noomi Rapace), for help nursing it back to health, and a mutual attraction sparks between them. However, a robbery at the bar and the return of Nadia's abusive ex force Bob to face the truth about those he thinks he knows best -- including himself.

Casino Royale 007. Immensely watchable. Skyfall. Also immensely watchable.
I'll watch a Bond film if it happens to be on telly when I have the remote control, but the two above I'll watch when the mood takes me.

Hi All, Wednesday night I tried unsuccessfully to watch what was billed as a comedy 'Idiocracy' via (Sky Movies) I got about 30mins into it then turned off absolute tripe and not one I would recommend at all. Having said that my taste in comedy is probably different from yours at the end of the day you can only give it a go......
Starring:-Luke Wilson,Maya Rudolph,Dax Shepard,Terry Crews,David Herman,Justin Long,Andrew Wilson,Brad "Scarface" Jordan, Thomas Haden Church,Stephen Root,Tom Kenny,Sara Rue and Randal Reeder.
Five hundred years after signing up for a military cryogenic experiment, Private Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson) wakes up to find that he's the smartest guy on the planet. It's survival of the thickest as Joe discovers that evolution is no match for human stupidity in a country where IQs are so low that they've elected a pro-wrestling, ex-porn star as president. Mike Judge - creator of Beavis and Butt-head and King of the Hill - takes a well-aimed pop at the dumbing down of Western society in an overlooked but chucklesome satire.

Hi All, Watched 'Dracula Untold' last night (Sky Movies) Although panned by some critics I enjoyed the film a different take on the theme but still watchable I thought. Starring:- Luke Evans,Dominic Cooper,Sarah Gadon,Art Parkinson,Charles Dance,William Houston,Diarmaid Murtagh,Noah Huntley,Paul Kaye,Zach McGowan,Ferdinand Kingsley,Joseph Long and Thor Kristjansson.
In 15th-century Transylvania, Vlad III (Luke Evans), prince of Wallachia, is known as a just ruler. With his beloved wife, Mirena (Sarah Gadon), Vlad has brokered a prolonged period of peace and ensured that his people are protected, especially from the Ottoman Empire. However, when Sultan Mehmed II (Dominic Cooper) demands 1,000 of the country's boys, including Vlad's son, for his army, Vlad makes a deal with a monster that will enable him to defeat the Turks -- but cost him his humanity.

Hi All, I watched the much panned (2015)Fantastic Four (Sky Movies) While watchable there are a couple of scenes from the trailer that are not in the film ? and I would agree the film falls flat in the last 1/3, as the introduction of Doom is not quite sticking with the comic book and is killed off at the end ? He is one of the FF's main archenemy's throughout their history....
Having said these things I realise that films are interpretations of their source material. One thing that did bother me a little is Johnny Storm (Human Torch) in the comic he learns to control the flaming on his body by uttering Flame On/Off this was never in the film instead the character wore a suit with a button ? At the end of the day you either like it or not.
Transported to an alternate universe, four young outsiders gain superhuman powers as they alter their physical form in shocking ways. Reed Richards becomes Mr. Fantastic, able to stretch and twist his body at will, while pal Ben Grimm gains immense strength as the Thing. Johnny Storm becomes the Human Torch, able to control and project fire, while his sister Sue becomes the Invisible Woman. Together, the team must harness their new abilities to prevent Doctor Doom from destroying the Earth. Geoff.
