Hi All, Watched the film 'Everest' via (Sky Cinema) based on actual events, it was a lot better than I thought it would be and has a fair few british actors in and well recommended...
Starring:- Jason Clarke,Jake Gyllenhaal,Josh Brolin,John Hawkes,Sam Worthington,Robin Wright,Michael Kelly,Keira Knightley, Rob Hall's,Emily Watson,Thomas Wright,Martin Henderson,Elizabeth Debicki,Naoko Mori,Clive Standen,Vanessa Kirby, Tom Goodman-Hill,Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson,Charlotte Bøving,Micah Hauptman,Chris Reilly,Chike Chan,Vijay Lama, Mark Derwin and Mia Goth.
On the morning of May 10, 1996, climbers (Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin) from two expeditions start their final ascent toward the summit of Mount Everest, the highest point on Earth. With little warning, a violent storm strikes the mountain, engulfing the adventurers in one of the fiercest blizzards ever encountered by man. Challenged by the harshest conditions imaginable, the teams must endure blistering winds and freezing temperatures in an epic battle to survive against nearly impossible odds.
Geoff.

This was so moving and looked stunning on the big screen today. You'd have to have a heart of stone not to love these young kids and the journey they make. And you don't have like chess to enjoy it.

Hi All, I watched the excellent biopic last night (Sky Cinema) Love and Mercy about the life of beach boys legend Brian Wilson if you like biopics or music history in general you'll love this film as always up to the individual taste.......
Starring:-John Cusack,Paul Dano,Elizabeth Banks,Paul Giamatti,Jake Abel,Kenny Wormald,Brett Davern,Graham Rogers, ErinDarke,Bill Camp,Joanna Going,Nick Gehlfuss,Mark Linett,Johnny Sneed,Gary Griffin,Teresa Cowles,Vince Meghrouni, Jeff Meacham,Max Schneider,Diana Maria,Erik Eidem,Dylan Kenin,Carolyn Stotesbery,Fred Cross,Tyson Ritter,Jeff Galfer, Morgan Phillips,Wayne Basturp,Oliver Pohlad and Jonathan Slavin.
In the 1960s, young songwriter and recording savant Brian Wilson (Paul Dano) finds himself in the midst of extraordinary success after scoring numerous hit records with The Beach Boys. Following a panic attack, he resigns from concert touring and ventures into the studio intent on creating "the greatest album ever made", Pet Sounds. Meanwhile, his grip on reality slowly loosens as he attempts to cope with the overwhelming voices in his head. Later, in the 1980s, a middle-aged Wilson (John Cusack) is shown to be a broken, confused man under the pharmacological and legal thrall of his abusive therapist Dr. Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti). After meeting Wilson, Cadillac saleswoman Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks) is determined to save him from Landy's manipulation.

Hi All, Being Halloween last night I watched two classic Hammer horror films and a modern Hammer horror, Witchfinder General then The Curse Of Frankenstein and finally Let Me In. All available on BBCi for the next few days. Let Me In was a vampire horror with a twist. Set in the 80's centred around two kids which I suppose make it more a 16+ audience to be honest. Not being full of gore as usual modern vampire horrors are these days although it does have it when needed, which made the film watchable and I viewed it for what it was with no expectations just a plain horror film simple...
Starring:-Kodi Smit-McPhee,Chloë Grace Moretz,Richard Jenkins,Cara Buono,Elias Koteas,Sasha Barrese,Dylan Minnette,Ritchie Coster,Jimmy Pinchak,Nicolai Dorian Colin Moretz,Dylan Kenin,Brett DelBuono and Chris Browning.
Bullied at school, neglected at home and incredibly lonely, 12-year-old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) spends his days plotting revenge on his tormentors and spends his nights spying on other residents of the apartment complex. His sole friend is Abby (Chloë Grace Moretz), a strange girl who comes out only at night time. Both outcasts, the two form a strong bond. When Abby's caretaker disappears amid a series of gruesome murders, Owen begins to suspect that she is hiding a terrible secret.

Hi All, Last night I watched the remake of 'When The Earth Stood Still' for the second time via (Sky Cinema) not one of Mr Reeves better films but watchable none the less especially if you like the Sci-Fi genre, it messes with the original time line of events a tiny bit compared to the original but basically all the elements are there. As always it's all down to personal taste and I enjoyed it for what it was.....
Starring:- Keanu Reeves,Jennifer Connelly,Jaden Smith,Kathy Bates,Jon Hamm,John Cleese,Kyle Chandler,Robert Knepper,James Hong and John Rothman.
Klaatu (Keanu Reeves), an extra-terrestrial visitor to planet Earth, becomes the herald of upheaval on a global scale. As the world's governments and scientists race to understand what is happening and how to stop it, Dr. Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) and her stepson come to understand the chilling ramifications behind Klaatu's statement that he is a "friend to the Earth."

I've just seen A Street Cat Named Bob - directed by an old James Bond director. So when you get to 71, it seems you turn to cat movies. Absolutely loved this though. A real, feel good film.

Star Trek Beyond
Either I expect too much from a Star Trek film or this was exactly what I thought it was...a movie with too many special effects and not enough plot. It was ok to kill a couple of hours but it wasn't a movie that made me think that I'd want to see it again. Or maybe I've just become old and jaded with the whole Star Trek franchise (ditto for Star Wars)

Hi All, From a film with a cat to a film with a dog... I watched the film 'Max' via (Sky Cinema) last night and enjoyed the film more than I thought I would. If you like dogs it should be right up your alley. The film is dedicated to all the armed forces dogs that have served all armed forces in all conflicts around the world.....
Starring:-Carlos as Max (Main star Of the film obviously),Josh Wiggins,Dejon LaQuake,Thomas Haden Church,Robbie Amell,Lauren Graham,Luke Kleintank,Jay Hernandez,Miles Mussenden,Mia Xitlali,Owen Harn and Joseph Julian Soria as
After U.S. Marine Kyle Wincott is killed in Afghanistan, Max, his highly trained service dog, is too traumatized to remain in service. Back in the U.S., Kyle's family adopts the dog, but teenage brother Justin (Josh Wiggins) has problems of his own and doesn't want the animal. However, Max may be Justin's only chance to learn what really happened to his brother. With the help of a dog-savvy friend, Justin and Max begin to bond, and set out to unravel the mystery of Kyle's death.
