Let's go to war!
I'm always weary of sporting films especially a new boxing or in this case MMA film but Warrior is a cut above the rest. As stated above, the best part of the film is Hardy, Edgerton and Nolte, their characters have such depth and all have a personal and tragic obstacle to tackle. I found the filming and the setting of the Burgh (Pittsburgh) to be a perfect touch. The films is emotional in multiple places and this is heightened by a excellently selected soundtrack from The National. One to watch again and again. Love it.

Cool soundtrack
Death by stereo!
What's not to love about this film? A very cool Vampire film and exactly how a Vampire film should be. It still looks great today the effects don't look dated. The Vampires look like how you expect them to. It has some iconic scenes and great dialogue, not to mention funny as well. One of my fave Kiefer Sutherland films in one of his earlier roles. The rest of the young cast have great chemistry. It also has some great songs to cap it off. It simply oozes coolness and class, a true 80's cult classic!

Comes with its own (real) soundtrack!
A book with a REAL Greatest Hits!
I thoroughly enjoyed this - I'm a big music fan, and to find out that this came with a real album was quite exciting (I found the album on Spotify - it's by Kathryn Williams and is called, unsurprisingly, Greatest Hits!). Each chapter begins with a song - which I listened to as well as read. It made it seem more 'real', and gave the main character a real voice. It follows Cass from childhood through to the present day, with all the upheavals and happiness that life brings.
Well worth a read!!

The devil has never been so good
Lucifer morningstar what a charismatic, sinfully hilarious and cheeky little devil! Pun intended ?This series is a must watch for anyone who loves plot twists and turns that will keep you guessing long after the sun goes down. With a kick ass soundtrack to boot lucifer should be a binge watch on everyone's list. Beautifully detailed and with so many character revelations, not just for center stage but for glorious sidelines as well. you won't be able to help falling in love with the whole cast truly a highly rated series and a recommended watch worth every second.

Chris Pratt steals the show
I loved this! Just as much as I enjoyed the first one. Chris Pratt brings so much humour and "normalmess" to the film. Finding out more about his character and watching the developing relationships and new relationships form felt personal. It had such a feel good feeling surrounding it even when emotions were high. Of course it was action packed with a strong vast. I didn't think baby groot could have had a decent role with this film, but I was surprised and accepting of his role and appearance. I could watch this over and over.
I can't forget to add that the soundtrack is awesome!

I saw this not knowing too much about it. I was expecting more of a comedy, it has it's moments. However it's more of a coming of age, teen drama. That said it is a very good character driven film and uniquely interesting in a funny kinda way. It tells the story of one guys summer working a Adventureland, a rundown old theme park. There he encounters a wide range of misfits who he becomes friends with. A good film, well directed and the actors make it an entertaining watch, not to mention a time trip to the '80s. Cool soundtrack as well from that era.

What is there not to love about this film??
Living in a house with a family of boys/men who LOVE Marvel and all things related to the Marvel Universe, I was coerced into watching this film and was more than pleasantly surprised.
I love the chemistry between the actors and the relationship they have with the CGI elements of the production and one another. I love the interactions they all have with one another and look like they truly love their job which then makes the picture look effortless.
I'm sure I will be back for the next installment if there is to be one. ??

I was very much behind the times with this one and only watched it last Christmas. I'd heard many times over how brilliant it was that I was almost scared to watch it as usually films fail to live up to the hype. I can't say I was completely bowled over by it but I did thoroughly enjoy it. The songs were amazing, the "Never Enough" scene actually gave me goosebumps and I kept rewinding it to watch again. That was the stand out moment for me. Not sure whether I would watch it again but I have bought the soundtrack and listen to it regularly.

Stylish with no substance
Here is yet another disappointing Netflix original. I like Alicia Vikander but sadly even she can’t save this, despite speaking Japanese impressively well. The film looks good and it’s very stylish, with an atmospheric and quite haunting soundtrack. The problem is that the plot is rather dull and even the confused mind of Vikander’s character can’t make it any more interesting. It just comes across as your average thriller with a decent setting, sadly story wise it isn’t anything we haven’t seen before. The ending is maybe slightly unpredictable but not entirely surprising either, and overall just a very uninspired film.
