Hi All, I watched 'Suffragette' last night and while concentrating on a side character based on a mix of the real Edith Garrud & Edith New and not the main heroine of the 'Suffragette' movement Mrs Pankhurst it does bring home what women have gone through to have equal rights. I would recommend women promote this as it may well get some of the younger generation a bit wiser as to the freedoms they have now compared to when this film was set.
In my opinion instead of getting pissed up at the weekend and acting like tarts as some do thus making a mockery of everything women like the 'Edith Garrud and Edith New' fought and died for to say the least they may actually learn something about themselves. The film certainly opened my eyes to their plight, I knew about the movement but to imagine coppers actually beating with truncheons women to the floor just because they want to be treated equally turns my stomach. Yet you could argue the fact that some modern women act like the above they earned that right through the suffragette movement ?
In early 20th-century Britain, the growing suffragette movement forever changes the life of working wife and mother Maud Watts (Carey Mulligan). Galvanized by political activist Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep), Watts joins a diverse group of women who fight for equality and the right to vote. Faced with increasing police action, Maud and her dedicated suffragettes must play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, risking their jobs, homes, family and lives for a just cause.
Starring:- Carey Mulligan,Helena Bonham Carter,Meryl Streep,Natalie Press,Anne-Marie Duff,Romola Garai,Ben Whishaw Gleeson West as Benedict and Adrian Schiller.All characters aside from Pankhurst, Davison, Lloyd George and King George V are fictitious.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. if I'd have paid a bit more attention to it I'd have probably enjoyed it more but it was good.

Hi All, Watched the biopic of rappers NWA-'Straight Outta Compton' on Wednesday via (Sky Cinema). Although I am not into rap I can appreciate their skill for their art. The film was good and stands up well on it's own as it shows the good and bad sides of the recording business.....
Starring:- To many to list so here are the main players :-O'Shea Jackson Jr. as N.W.A member O'Shea "Ice Cube" Jackson,Jason Mitchell as N.W.A member Eric "Eazy-E" Wright,Corey Hawkins as N.W.A member Andre "Dr. Dre" Young,Aldis Hodge as N.W.A member Lorenzo "MC Ren" Patterson,Neil Brown Jr. as N.W.A member Antoine "DJ Yella" Carraby and Paul Giamatti as N.W.A's manager Jerry Heller.
In 1988, a groundbreaking new group revolutionizes music and pop culture, changing and influencing hip-hop forever. N.W.A's first studio album, "Straight Outta Compton," stirs controversy with its brutally honest depiction of life in Southern Los Angeles. With guidance from veteran manager Jerry Heller, band members Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson Jr.), Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins), Eazy-E, DJ Yella and MC Ren navigate their way through the industry, acquiring fame, fortune and a place in history.

Hi All, Watched the Sci-Fi fifth wave (Via Sky Cinema) not to much use of special effects only were necessary to carry the films story along, if I am honest more of a teenager film but I still enjoyed it for what is was...
Starring:- Chloë Grace Moretz,Nick Robinson,Ron Livingston,Maggie Siff,Alex Roe,Maria Bello,Maika Monroe,Zackary Arthur, Liev Schreiber,Tony Revolori Talitha Bateman,Nadji Jeter and Alex MacNicoll .
The human race stands on the brink of extinction as a series of alien attacks decimate the planet, causing earthquakes, tsunamis and disease. Separated from her family, Ohio teenager Cassie Sullivan (Chloë Grace Moretz) will do whatever it takes to reunite with her brother Sam. Fate leads her to form an alliance with Evan Walker (Alex Roe), a mysterious young man who may be her last hope. Forced to trust each other, Cassie and Evan fight for survival during the fifth assault from the invaders.

Hi All, Watched 'Hyena Road' via (Sky Cinema) not to shabby really it is what it is a war film drama, my only criticism would be the use of CGI blood not a big fan of it at all practical fake blood is much better as for realism, having said that I enjoyed the film which is what it's all about. One word of caution if you do take a gander at it do not expect a balls to the wall war film as it's not, just has it's moments mixed with the drama and tension that comes along with it...
Starring:-Paul Gross,Rossif Sutherland,Clark Johnson,Allan Hawco,Christine Horne,David Richmond Peck,Jennifer Pudavick,Aqqalu Meekis and Neamat Arghandabi.
Three men, three different paths, caught in conflict but brought together to save lives: a highly skilled sniper who can't think of his targets as human; an intelligence officer who has never killed while on duty; and a legendary Afghan warrior who left war behind but gets pulled back to battle.
