Spare Parts (2015) 6.5/10

"A group of four Carl Hayden High School students win first place over M.I.T. in a 2004 national robotics competition.The team had only $800 and used car parts but won the competition over several highly funded university teams.All four students were illegal immigrants from Mexico." One of those underdog stories. George Lopez in a serious role. <McFarland, USA> (2015) that also dealt with the underdogs thriving was better.

Everest looks interesting yep!

Spring (2014) 7/10

This was an unusual one. A love-horror if you well. Rather well done; expected the ending to be better though. The lead chickie; who hails from Germany; is a looker

Entourage 7/10. Cant believe never watched a single episode of the series. Lots of fun. Will have to check it out.

Lucy.....9/10.

Watched it again last night. One of the strangest, oddest movie I have seen.
But highly entertaining and thought provoking.
Scarlet is great as ever.
Signature action styles from director Luc Besson.
Again I finished the movie thinking....what if we could use more of our brain capacity???

For my Lucy had a fair number of similarities with <Limitless> (2011)

Best scene was ScaJo's monologue after she knife pins that Japanese dude. What a babe.

The Prestige (2006) 8.5/10

Can't believe I never watched this one sooner. It's bloody brilliant; Chris Nolan in top form. Every element of this movie is of superb quality. That one-upmanship between Bale & Jackman is memorizing.

Yeah, it's great. I need to watch it again. Also want to read the book, actually. By Christopher Priest.

Here are some more I have watched recently and this time out of 10:

The Prince - Typical Taken plot (Daughter of a notorious x special agent got kidnapped by a drug lord) - 6/10

Sabotage - Arnold Schwarzenegger is leader of special forces and after drug syndicate bust his members starts dropping like flies. - 8/10

After the ball - A good Sunday movie of a young clothing designer that need to get past her evil step mom's plans to kick her out from her dad's successful designer company and 'hand' the business to her own 2 daughters - 7/10

In the name of the king - I love adventure and this is associated with Dungeon Siege - Very disappointing for me and I did not enjoy the dialogue or the fighting scenes. To top it off - one of my favourite actors, Jason Statham, plays the lead role. The story is fine. - 4/10

If you liked that then you'll likely like The Illusionist too. Both 2006: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443543/

The Prestige is a step above The Illusionist. Although the latter is great fun, and definitely worth a watch.
