Hi All, Gaz The daughter went to watch T2 and she enjoyed it as a stand alone film even though I suggested she watch T1 first so what do I know ?.......... As far as Dev Patel goes I know his break out role in 'Slumdog Millionaire' (Still have not watched) was really good by all accounts but I did see him in his follow up role in 'The Last Airbender' shame the film bombed really I enjoyed it his part in was well acted I thought... Last night I watched the better of all the follow up movies to the original IMO Jurassic World via (Sky Cinema) An excellent piece of escapism for a couple of hours, the CGI is seamless and looks the part and gives the film the edge of the previous two sequels, looking forward to the next chapter they are allegedly planning for this film......
Starring:-Chris Pratt,Bryce Dallas Howard,Vincent D'Onofrio,Ty Simpkins,Nick Robinson,Omar Sy,B. D. Wong,Irrfan Khan, Jake Johnson,Lauren Lapkus,Brian Tee,Katie McGrath,Judy Greer,Andy Buckley,Eric Edelstein,Jimmy Fallon,Jimmy Buffett,Colin Trevorrow,Brad Bird and Jack Horner.
Located off the coast of Costa Rica, the Jurassic World luxury resort provides a habitat for an array of genetically engineered dinosaurs, including the vicious and intelligent Indominus rex. When the massive creature escapes, it sets off a chain reaction that causes the other dinos to run amok. Now, it's up to a former military man and animal expert (Chris Pratt) to use his special skills to save two young brothers and the rest of the tourists from an all-out, prehistoric assault.

Geoff. Thanks Geoff, I forgot about that one. A perfect 'Saturday night DVD' by the looks of it.

I really enjoyed this one. The acting is fantastic and its based on a true story. Looks stunning too. Thanks CG, I'll have a look at that one too...geez plenty of good movies out there. Aussie actor Joel Edgerton has been quietly building a very solid film base over the years and I never knew he featured in that one.

I nearly pointed him out you Gaz but I guessed you'd know his name. I didn't know his work before but he's top notch in this. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi All, Watched via (Sky Cinema) the low budget Sci-Fi/Drama 'Into The Forest' aimed more at a young adult audience really. None the less not to bad as it shows what could happen if the electricity suddenly went off and you had to survive on your own wits. As a Drama it's good but as a Sci-Fi not so but watchable just the same, no special effects just down to the actors showing their skill......
Starring:-Ellen Page,Evan Rachel Wood,Max MinghellamCallum Keith Rennie,Wendy Crewson,Michael Eklund,Sandy Sidhu,Jordana Largy,Bethany Brown, Simon Longmore and Brittany Willacy.
In the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, two sisters (Ellen Page, Evan Rachel Wood) must fight for survival after an apocalyptic blackout leaves them without gas, water, electricity or cellphones.

Hi All, Watched the very underrated IMO 'Jupiter Ascending' the heavily laden special effects Sci-Fi/Fantasy film works, the first 52mins flypast then a very flat period to pick up again after 20mins or so. I can only think this film was panned by most critics for the flat bit in the 2nd act a very odd moment involving the princess character having to do the paperwork to legitimise her royal blood line that takes to much time and doesn't suit the film at all IMO.
The flat period just stopped the flow of the film like a person tripping over their feet and falling to the floor, before dragging itself back up with a third act that is just as good as the 1st act IMHO, it is one of 'Sean Beans' rare films where his character survives the film all the way through There are actually quite a few recognisable UK actors in this film from tv. Apparently there are plans for a sequel but because the 1st film was not a great success only making $8 million profit the budget will not be as big. As always viewers choice while I liked the film others may not but I any Sci-Fi/Fantasist fan should enjoy the film.....
Starring:-Channing Tatum,Mila Kunis,Sean Bean,Eddie Redmayne,Douglas Booth,Tuppence Middleton,Demetri Theodorou, Gugu Mbatha-Raw,Terry Gilliam,Samuel Barnett,David Ajala,Ariyon Bakare,James D'Arcy,Kick Gurry,Bae Doona,Charlotte Beaumont,Tim Pigott-Smith,Edward Hogg,Nikki Amuka-Bird,Vanessa Kirby,Maria Doyle Kennedy and Christina Cole.
Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under signs that predicted future greatness, but her reality as a woman consists of cleaning other people's houses and endless bad breaks. Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered hunter, arrives on Earth to locate her, making Jupiter finally aware of the great destiny that awaits her: Jupiter's genetic signature marks her as the next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

Hi All, Watched Batman vs Superman Dawn Of Justice DVD (Ultimate Edition) and well worth the wait IMHO, the extra 28mins of extra footage sets the film plot a lot better than the cinematic version that was released and the addition of Wonder Woman makes sense with a host of other extra scenes that help move the film along and more understandable. If you haven't seen the cinematic film I would say don't bother go for the Ultimate edition instead at 2Hrs48min long it is far better experience and sets up the up coming Justice League movie in which Batman/Superman and Wonder Woman appear together just right......
Starring:-Ben Affleck,Henry Cavill,Amy Adams,Kevin Costner,Jesse Eisenberg,Diane Lane,Laurence Fishburne,Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter,Gal Gadot,Scoot McNairy,Callan Mulvey,Tao Okamoto,Robin Atkin Downes,Jeffrey Dean Morgan,Lauren Cohan, Patrick Wilson,Michael Cassidy,Harry Lennix,Christina Wren,Ezra Miller,Jason Momoa,Ray Fisher,Rebecca Buller and Carla Gugino.
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day saviour, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known.

Sunday evening I watched the film of the excellent tv series 'Spooks The Greater Good' I enjoyed it thoroughly, a good spy genre film without the hi-tech gadgetry that accompanies James Bond and Bourne movies just a good old fashioned well acted film.....
Starrring:-Peter Firth,Kit Harington,Jennifer Ehle,Elyes Gabel,Lara Pulver,Tim McInnerny,Hugh Simon,Eleanor Matsuura,David Harewood,Tuppence Middleton,Geoffrey Streatfield,Elliot Levey,Michael Wildman,Cosmo Jarvis and Dario Parlato.
MI5 personnel are caught up in a traffic jam in London while escorting the CIA's most wanted terrorist to an arranged CIA handover point, when he is suddenly rescued by armed men on motorbikes. Harry Pearce, the head of Counter-Terrorism at MI5 is blamed for the terrorist escaping. Especially as Harry disappeared shortly after the incident. An ex-agent, Will Holloway, and protégé of Harry's is recalled by MI5 to assist in finding and bringing Harry in. However Harry has disappeared for a reason. Certain that there is a traitor in a senior position in MI5, he enlists the somewhat reluctant Will to help him in uncovering the rat or rats concerned.

Last Night I watched another low budget film 'Paloma Road' not to shabby as it happens, a roadtrip film with a difference spectacular scenery while on the road, the film relies on the ability of the actors to carry the film just a good watchable film with no special effects the only negative would be it drags a couple of times apart from that take it or leave it....
Starring:-Jason Momoa,Sarah Shahi,Lisa Bonet,Michael Raymond-James,Wes Studi,Jill Wagner,Timothy V. Murphy,Chris Browning, James Harvey Ward,Linden Chiles,Steve Reevis,Tanoai Reed,Robert Homer Mollohan and Lance Henriksen.
After murdering his mother's rapist, Wolf (Jason Momoa), a Native American, flees from the law. Six months later he meets up with a drifter called Cash (Robert Homer Mollohan) and heads north to his sister's property where he intends to go spread his mother's ashes, but with the law right behind him his dream to lay his mother to peace may come at a price.
