The Hunger Games: Mockingjay: Part 2

Hungry for More ?

(Edit) 08/09/2017

Not the Best by far in the Hunger games Quadrilogy but essential to get to the End .

Lots of waffle and bluster along the way ,but all turns out well in the end .

Enjoyable if you've seen all the other installments.

Ghost in the Shell

Ghost in the Shell ?

(Edit) 08/09/2017

That annoying title keeps being repeated all through the movie like some trite but worshipful saying...Japanese comic writers think they are being Deep and Meaningful....Nah,just a little embarrasing to be honest.

Anyway, The movie is actually pretty good, Entertaining ,Action,Sci-fi. Sort of from the same future as Bladerunner from the looks of it. and it comes across pretty much as a female Bladrunner type film. Only this female is just a Human Brain in a Robot body . but she looks good, moves gracefully and cant remember a damn thing about herself .well not until she gets some help from the cyber criminal she is chasing .

Beautiful visuals, Stylish Violence and certainly very Watchable .

Midnight Special

Not at all what I expected but Very Glad I chose it by the end .

(Edit) 24/08/2017

Unusual slant on a' Visitors from another place' kind of Movie, but actually something quite different. However I wasn't sure I had chosen the right movie at first.

From the beginning you are not at all sure it is Sci-fi at all. it seems instead like a rather macho Crime Drama / Kidnapping Thriller movie ,but the Sci-fi element grows as the movie goes on.

Tale slides through Police chases, Cult like Societies, FBI investigations , Terrorism, Murder , to finally get you to where it set out to take you with a rather Sad Outcome. Though not in any way you might think. Well worth a watch if you like Sci-fi, Drama,Police Chase Action, a little bit X Files. a little bit Road Movie . Think a Male Thelma and Louise with a UFO link and you are almost there ....but only 'ish'

Deep Star Six

Enjoyable Alien Underwater Fun.

(Edit) 24/08/2017

Quite an old movie so Special Effects are not upto today's CGI standards ,but still would have been pretty good for the time.

Enjoyable mix of Alien ,Jaws and The Abyss ,as a Scientific Team are trapped Fathoms below the ocean for 6 months building an underwater missile base for the American Navy but before they complete their work they uncover a Prehistoric ? Alien? Hidden creature by their Explosive Destruction on the sea bed of a concealed underwater cavern, possibly sealed for millions of years.

Once free the Creature Destroys its way through their underwater facility,killing on its way .

Time is running out,Escape looks impossible ,Oxygen is dwindling,Will Anyone make it out alive and if so,Who?

Enjoyable , think 'Deep Blue Sea' and you are almost there .expect late 1970's/early 80's cinema quality and the rubber creature effects of Jaws and you cant go wrong.
