Against All Odds
The original Tomb Raider was one of the main inspiration behind the Uncharted series and now the rebooted Tomb Raider series is taking influence from Uncharted. This is a great reboot and really takes you on a treacherous trail of survival. The set pieces are great, the voice actors are well used and the desperate tone of the game is felt throughout.

Wow
I don't know why I waited so long to watch this one. I'm a huge Sandra Bullock fan and she(and Clooney) didn't disappoint in this masterfully told survival story. This was one heck of a thrill ride. The cinematography was beautifully done. The story had plenty of intense, emotional moments. This is a really great story the whole family can watch together. REALLY worth a watch!

Edge of Payback
Get The Gringo- it reminds of Payback and Edge of Darkness. A revenge film with action, drama, comedy and suspense. Unlike Payback and Edge of Darkness which were decent films. I actually like Get The Gringo.

The plot: A youngster helps an American career criminal (Mel Gibson) learn to survive behind the walls of a brutal Mexican prison.

A good action packed prison survival film.

"Found my Dad’s old copy in the basement when I was in seventh grade. I’ve read it many times since. It’s always a pleasure spending a few days learning from brother Malcolm. You can feel the depth of his care and his sincere hope for your survival in every page. If he wasn’t a friend and a hero before you started reading, you’ll have to make some room for him."

"Another lush world of women — this one an infectious, absurd, darkly comic riot. I loved the politics, the fun, and the calculated double-crossing, manipulative fights for survival and favor. The cinematography (wide lenses, and extreme angles) along with the exquisite performances just spun the whole thing faster and funnier. But Olivia Colman, un-self-conscious, specific and wild in her commitment to the role made the whole thing sublime."
