Crazy guy in an elevator

So my friends and I had just gone to the pictures to see Antman and we are in the lift at Sainburys when a kid gets in and then is trying to debate what floor to press, there is only one button. He presses it then decides to run out of the lift and then starts talking to the sky.
I could help but wonder if he was trying to talk to the aeroplane flying over head?

Pixels (2015)

Now, I can hardly say I am a world champion at Donkey Kong, Pacman or even Space invaders but, if you are then you would be the appropriate person for a job which entails having to save the planet from video games from the 80s. So, that is exactly what Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage and Michelle Monaghan do. They have to learn the patters, fight the amazing chemistry between some of them and having to fight chemistry between a video game character and a real life person. (Spoiler Alert: Video game characters aren't real). This is a brilliant family comedy with the recurring Happy Madison actors.
I rate this great film a 18/20.

If I Stay (2014)

Based on a Best Selling book written by Gayle Forman. This film shows the devastating struggles a teenage girl, Mia (Chloe grace moretz), who after a devastating car crash on a wintry February morning is left in a coma on the brink of letting go of her life or staying. She goes back in time and sees the wonderful moments of her life especially moments of her relationship with her boyfriend of the previous year and a half , Adam (Jamie Blackley). So to prove to herself that playing the Cello in a family of heavy rockers with a boyfriend whom is also a rock band member yet, still loves her for the magic that she can make with her bow and Cello.
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)

You would have think that after 3 films they would have learned not to open a dinosaur theme park but, hey they do it anyway and it still is a movie plot that never gets old. Perhaps highly predictable but, it is truly classic.

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)

I remember when I saw the first one in cinemas at 10 thinking it was single-handedly the funniest thing I've seen, obviously I hadn't properly discover the Monty Pythons yet, Mall Cop 2 is still funny. Not absolutely side splitting humour which is often found in an Adam Sandler film but, it made me chuckle at a couple of points.

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.

The perspective burglar

I have always had a fear of someone burglarising my house since I was younger because once I came home with my nan and found her house totally ransacked and that always made me paranoid. So now when I am on my own whenever I hear a creak I think, maybe it's a burglar.
So today my dad took the dog for a short walk around the local housing estate when I heard a creak downstairs whilst I was elsewhere occupied in the toilet, so there is me metaphorically depositing in my underwear at the thought that there is a burglar downstairs. This could possibly happen because sometimes we don't always remember if shut the front door. Then, I hear scuffling and what sounded to me like "Hello!" Which isn't what a person who already knows you are in the house says, so I'm still terrified of going downstairs to find a man trying to find our valuables which I would try to find with him. That is until I heard the heavy scuffling of feet and then the scrapping of the bin in the kitchen floor as the person struggled to remove the bin bag from the bin. To which I sighed with relief that it must be my dad or just a really nice burglar which has offered to take out the rubbish and the glass outside.
Just to say, if I have offended any burglars who take out the trash for their victims whom they will shortly steal from , "I'm sorry for discarding your impeccable manners."
