Brilliant British Film
A great British film, gritty and hard hitting and made on a shoe string budget. It doesn't matter, the story and acting make this a very powerful film and it deserves all the awards and accolades it has received.
A young boy bullied at school joins the local skinheads in early 80's Britain, but the fun and games soon start to turn nasty and violent.
Check out the spin off TV shows as well.

Childhood revisited
Glen A Larson cashing in on the Star Wars explosion with this TV spin off. The A Team's Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene from Bonanza were the 2 main stars until Richard Hatch as Apollo took over and became the main man. Still think the space ships were better than the X Wings from Star Wars, but never really loved it unlike Star Wars.

Another spin-off from Jack Campbell's 'The Lost Fleet' series, with this one taking place centuries before the events of those novels (and their own other spin-off series'), back when mankind has omly just begun to colonise the stars.

Like the intial series (and it's first set of spin-offs in the 'Beyond the Stars' series), the main character in this is once again a Geary: like his descendant, a fleet officer in the Navy who just happens to be the only such on the brand-new colony world of Glenyon, with the leaders of that world turning to him for help when they are attacked by a neighbouring star system. Alongside Rob Geary, they also turn to a former Marine (Mele Darcy) for help when that star system illegally sets up a colony on their planet, with two of Mele's former associates also pulled in the orbit of the story.

Alongside the usual military sci-fi of this series ('Newtonian' battles in space and on land), what I found to be the main 'hook' on this particular one was just how it lays the groundwork for the state of the universe as shown in 'The Lost Fleet' series: the start of the recerence for ancestors movement/religion and the proto-type (in effect) for The Syndics and The Alliance, alongside how politicians would become (?) to be viewed, and how those same politicians would view the military.

Thor: Rargnarok took the best parts of a couple different Marvel Comics storylines, fused them together into an 80's buddy action comedy movie.

If you apperciated the tone of GotG, like Thor but not his movies you'll love this. Of the 17 films in the franchise this one is in the top half.

I am glad Hulk's Warbond, though not called as such in the film, survived. Hope to see more of Kord and Miek, maybe even a spin off of there own.

It's just okay. I understand it's a spin off of American Horror Story, but it feels uneven in places and they cram a lot of story in the short amount of time for the first two episodes they premiered. There are some nods to season 1 and in a couple of moments there are a couple of funny jokes. It's not really scary, just uncomfortable which is a bit disappointing. There are some good things in the show, it just needs to find its footing.
