San Andreas (2015) 4 / 10

If it wasn't for The Rock, this could probably have gone straight to DVD

Just two things that killed the movie for me.

1.) How many people would die in such an event? How many dead bodies did you see?
2.) The rubber duck with a magic propeller that does not hit a single piece of debris ...

Musical biopic isn't the same as a musical. A musical is where people spontaneously burst out in song. 8-Mile is the closest thing I can think to a musical rap film.

Will watch it and let you know if I see any rappers spontaneously burst into song on a street corner

I also want to see it, but I am concerned that it's a bit of a whitewash of certain unfavorable events in the lives of the crew of NWA, especially certain newly minted billionaires.

yeah, it's got an authorised biography feel to it...Mr Beats can afford a crapload of legal fees now so I'm sure they haven't delved too deeply into his doings at the time.

I enjoyed the mindless action popcorn feel to it.

Earth to Echo 2014 - 7/10
Very nice movie if you have kids to watch with, It's like the modern E.T. CGI was a bit mediocre though

Time Lapse (2014) 7.5/10

"Three friends discover a mysterious machine that takes pictures 24hrs into the future and conspire to use it for personal gain, until disturbing and dangerous images begin to develop." Well executed; fast-paced thriller.

Great time travelling movie

Knock Knock (2015) 7/10

"When a devoted husband and father is left home alone for the weekend, two stranded young women unexpectedly knock on his door for help. What starts out as a kind gesture results in a dangerous seduction and a deadly game of cat and mouse."
Erotic horror that is stupid on a number of levels but a great watch. Starring two very young looking chicks & hipster Keanu Reeves. Worth a watch for the mild suspense & humour & sexy time scenes.

The Martian 8/10

Just the right combination of comedy and drama. As a bonus, Ridley Scott has decided to stop making movies about Cameron Diaz getting off on the windshield of a Ferrari.

Sixty Six (2006) 7/10

Its 1966 and Bernie is prepararing for his life event bar mitzvah. Unfortunately world cup fever has hit England and Bernie is hoping and praying that England doesn't go through to the final because that would mean no one would attend his bar mitzvah.

Quirky comedy drama starring Helena Bonham Carter and Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell) set in 1966 England.

Big Game (2014) 6/10

"A young teenager camping in the woods helps rescue the President of the United States when Air Force One is shot down near his campsite." Slightly mediocre & rather unrealistic. Average. For the Sam L Jackson fan.
