Old but excellent watch especially in Ultra HD. Throughly enjoyed it. Much better than The Hunger Games rubbish.
7 adrenaline fueled stars from me. Loses one star because of that dude with the weird permanently raised eyebrows who just freaks me out.

The Monster. 6/10. Leads are so annoying you actually root for the monster. Impressive dark photography the only good thing about this.

Midnight Special - 7.5/10. A bit slow at times but reminiscent of movies like Starman, Cocoon, Close Encounters and ET.

Intruders (2015) 7/10

Came across this one by pure chance. I was looking for Shut In (2016) & saw Shut In (2015). I later found out the working title of Intruders was Shut In.

It's an indie home invasion thriller but it's rather well done. 1st half plays out strongly; ending gets a bit contrived but overall rather enjoyable.

War Dogs 5/10

Somewhat average...Jonah Hill was very good. Watch Lord of War instead.

Blood Father (2016) 6.5-7/10

Not bad at all, good acting, lots of swearing, action and Mel.

+1 for a hot chick in the movie.

Before the Flood (2016) 8/10

Supremely well structured with loads of insight. An excellent doccie film about an important topic.

Don't Breathe (2016)

7/10

Thriller about some teens breaking into a blind man's home. Thought it would be a walk in a park.

Nice plot addition.

Laid in America (2016) 4.5/10

Stupid movie with 2 "well-known" YouTubers. Tries to be an American Pie knock off but fails.


True Memoirs of an International Assassin (2016) 5.5/10

Boring & predictable Kevin James Netflix Original movie; not particular good. Will appeal to Sandler fans.

Hell or High Water - 8/10. Slow build up character driven modern western, explodes into absorbing finale. Very similar to No Country for Old Men.

Mechanic Resurrection (2016) 5/10

Paint by the numbers action movie...feels a lot like a movie based on a video game.
