Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015)
Well, if I were in a zombie apocalypse I would probably go to a place which was safe and unbreakable, gear up on shovels and know how to get out of any situation. Well, this would come natural to the scouts which if you watch this film you will know.
When faced with an impeding tragedy these three friends have to use their scouting knowledge to survive. Yet, they do get side tracked by a stripper, sorry I mean a Cocktail Waitress, they sing Britney Spears with a zombie and they gear-up in Home depot and get to put their archery badge to work.
With a hint of romanticism by the main scout character, Ben has to rescue the girl even after he kisses the Cocktail waitress and a hint of scary violence at the start when the outbreak starts.
I rate this film a 18/20.

Maze Runner 2: The Scorch Trials (2015)
Even though I have read the book series written by James Dashner I see why they did some plot variations and it does seem they were for the films greater good.
With over $275.3 million in box office it as decreased in the aims in box office total since the first Maze Runner film got over $345.5 million in box office.
I rate this film a 17/20.

The Final Girls (2015)
After seeing her mum die next to her, Max ( Taissa Farmiga) tries the best to remember her for the good times and that consists of avoiding her mum's best selling film, Camp Bloodbath. Yet she gets roped into seeing the Camp BloodBath marathon by her friends Step-Brother and when a fire is set in the cinema Max and 4 of her friends are forced into the screen of the film.
They have to battle the murderer, Billy Murphy, to the death but only a true virgin can kill him and guess who that is left down to, Max.
With love forming between Max and one of her friends, a love forming between Max and her mum's character in the film it is harder to beat the villain than thought. It has an amazing cast and some hilarious moments.
I rate this film a 17/20.

If I Stay (2014)
This film brought me to tears as well as it made me seriously re-think my life and want to read the book.
I rate this amazing heart-felt film a 19/20. It must be one of the best film of 2014.

The Darkest hour (2011)
If you have just made this awesome app that shows you where the latest bars and clubs are then you would want to fly it around the world to promote your app. And that is how this movie starts with two young men from America who fly to Moscow to show off their new app only to find out their business partner has already sold it to the Russians.
So they hit a club with large amounts of sorrow to help repress all of their bad luck when the electrical invaders start to reign down on earth. That is when everything starts to go downhill. Ok, I understand that they were trying to make a disaster movie seem even remotely realistic which they have mainly mastered however it was still itching with unrealistic features ; being saved by a cage and balls of electricity extracting minerals from the earth.
I rate this film a 17/20.

Jurassic World (2015)
This time it focuses around siblings much like the first film, though this time they are brothers ; Zach and Gray. They have gone to Jurassic World which is on Isla Nubar, the original island, to visit their aunt who is the Park operations manager. And coincidently once they arrive everything starts to go wrong. This time it isn't the T-Rex or the Raptor which are causing the trouble it is the Indominus Rex which is their new creation of multiple things which create one of the worst killing machine's. If it is going to a carnivore that is bigger than a rex why would you make it camouflage with it's surroundings?
Also, if you have previously repeated in the film that Raptor run at 40 mph and 50 mph during feeding time why did Claire trying to drive away from the Raptor no just drive at about 55 Mph or higher that way her Nephews would definitely not become Raptor food.
However, I felt so happy that the main saviour of the park was Chris Pratt's character because it also helps to suggest that he will be the main feature in this new trilogy. Which has been confirmed.
I rate this film a 18/20.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015)
This time after getting married to Amy, the Damsel of the last film, and staying with her for about 6 weeks Paul is back as a mighty Bachelor. So now known as the Black Friday Saver. Which is the only reason he is invited to the Security Officer Convention at Las Vegas. And of course, there is yet another heist which his moustache's Spidey senses tingled at and obviously didn't believe him.
So, as I sat there and pondered at what exactly I would do in his situation, "Tell the Security Officers who would actually believe him." But, no. That doesn't happen until the end. The film lacked a slightly more interesting storyline and I imagined it to have more for a Happy Madison production.
I rate this film a 13/20.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
the story follows the remake of the original of the Mel Gibson classic, Max (Tom Hardy) is captured by the cult leader Immortan Joe but then is put on the front of a war rig driven by the sick war boy Knux (Nicholas Hoult). After Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) takes Joe's wives which he usually keeps locked up so he can have healthy babies away from the apocalyptic world struck with an oil and water famine. So to help them escape, Furiosa took the wives and made a descent to the green lands. To be honest I did feel sad when some characters died along the journey and the villain did get killed it the end but, it seems to me that it was a waste of good actors on the worst remake since Jaden Smith's Karate Kid.
I rate this film a 12/20.

The hitchhiker incident
My friends and I were on the school bus the other month just about to leave school when my friend Billy goes
"How comes there is a hitchhiker standing over there?" Pointing at the man.
At our school many cyclers like to pull in and have a break because it is on the edge of the countryside so we didn't think much of it.
Until, we drove past the said 'hitchhiker' only to realise that it was the French teacher Mr Barratta who just happened to put his thumb up at the wrong time wearing an trench coat and a back pack.
My friend Billy was taught by him for over 3 years yet he still rationalised that it was more likely to be a hitchhiker than a teacher in a school depot.

A new segment: Sam's moment of the week
Now one of my very close friends Sam was not born naturally blonde yet she appears to be blonde on the inside and I can explain how she embraced this.
As the not so quite sharpest knife in the draw she often says some of the simple things in life and well my group of friends now have a quote of the week based on her special quotes which express these blonde qualities.
For example, there was one a bus timetable on the table and my friend just so happened to be talking about going on holiday to the Caribbean to which Sam asked "So you can drive a bus to the Caribbean." To which we thought she was joking turns out she was serious.
Now if you ask her she will simply just say "I meant Airbus like that large plane." We know she didn't mean that.
This week's quote is " It's weird when you think about it that Feathers and Quills look so similar."
Thank You Sam for being to ever clever person we have come to love.
Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)
However, the storyline was a bit drier than usual for an Anna Kendrick film perhaps it could have just remained as a solo film yet, I am still grateful for the musical.

MOVIE NEWS : Sherlock, Fast and Furious 8, X-files reboot and a Lost spin-off series.
Sherlock has announced for Season 4 that it will be emotional and dark in places. Which has rumours and my thoughts to wonder; Will there be a death of a regular cast member or will Sherlock finally defeat the villain he claims to be missed.
Rumours have started to circulate that in the plans for Fast and Furious 8 people have put forward the idea of having Dame Helen Mirren as the villain. Is there going to be a deliberate link to the English villains of the previous fast and furious villains to her character if it happens.
Also, Fast and Furious 8 might start off a new trilogy which has been mind mapped to be set in New York.
It has been confirmed that Arrow's Stephen Amell will be featuring in TMNT 2.
IP man 3 will CGI Bruce Lee into the film and Mike Tyson has also be confirmed to be in it.
That's 70s show has been rebooted for another season which is to be set in the 90s and Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have already accepted roles but, what about Topher Grace??
Good news for Sci-Fi buffs X-files is also being rebooted for a six episode long series which the main characters have also been confirmed.
Sony Pictures are looking at expanding Spiderman into a new cinematic multiverse.
ABC will be reviving Lost for a spin-off series named Lost: Awakening.
The trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger's new movie Maggie has been released and the film is set on an apocalyptic zombie infested world and Arnie's daughter is one of the infected. What I want to know is if he dies there will he be back.
Tron 3 is to be called Tron: Ascension.
The Duff (2015)
To be told that you are the Duff of the group that can be weird but then when it is explained then it becomes offensive. designated Ugly Fat Friend. Well that is what Bianca was told she was by her friendly neighbour/jock. So to help de-duff herself she enrolled the help of the neighbour Wesley. he could help her fit in with girl and be the girl who approached not the approachable one and in return Bianca is tutoring Wesley in Science. With some peck dancing, cookie monster voices, snogging moments and some absolutely bitchy moments it is a brilliant film. If you liked the display of social media in 'Men, Women and children' then this will blow that well and truly out of the water INA better high school flick since Mean Girls. I rate this film a 19/20.
