How it ends? It doesn’t!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Most disaster films nowadays are made with the notion of concentrating on the story arc of the characters and don’t feel the need to explain the reasoning behind the disaster.

This film is no exception!

For a road movie it is fantastic. Lots of suspense and thrills built on trust issues and a road trip for a father and son-in-law who are trying to get to their daughter/partner, starting as two people who don’t see eye to eye and gradually becoming friends.

However, I was left wanting more from the final scenes and disappointed with the last frame.

If you’re stuck for something to watch on Netflix then give it a go but remember that nothing will be explained (and I mean nothing!!)

X-Men: first cast
Xmen follows Logan, a violent mutant without a past, eventually being forced back on the road he meets Rogue, a mutant with an unknown power that accidentally killed her boyfriend.
Attacked on the road and rescued by storm & Cyclops, the two quickly (for the plots sake) meet the X-Men, and after 50 no's and a yes, Wolverine reluctantly agrees to be an X-Men.
But with heroes come villains including, Magneto, toad, Sabretooth & mystique (because the studio couldn't afford more characters then either?)


A good movie at the time, which still holds up quite well today, decent graphics, acceptable action scenes and an easy to follow plot with some cheesy jokes.

Starring Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Ian Mckellen, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Ray Park & Tyler Mane.

The ultimate road trip film that is regarded a cult classic. For what it is about and at the time it was made I can imagine it made a big impact back then. A time when many things were changing in America. As a film though there are long quiet parts and a lot of random scenes that don't make a lot of sense. Great soundtrack though!

A classic Thriller
For 1971 this was a very good if simple thriller about a battle of wits between a truck driver and a salesman on a long road trip. One of Spielberg's earlier films and shot in just 16 days. This cat and mouse thriller has inspired many other films and TV episodes since. If you haven't seen it track it down.

Journeys, love, loss and hope
This book was great! It is reminiscent of The Passage and The Road. Equal parts hopeful and despairing, this novel slowly reels you in and makes you care about its characters and their journey. The ending, though bittersweet, is masterful. There are only a few spots where the plot falters but these are easily forgivable in light of the finished product.
