Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU8-7BX9uxs My Review: Being a fan of John Wick and realising that a third movie was on it's way I was excited to give this a watch at the first opportunity I had and with all of the action within it, it did not disappoint. I loved that from the very beginning of this movie till the very end scene was full of action and killing which is how people know John Wick. I thought by doing this it kept really true for the fans of the franchise and with everyone against John Wick showed how great an assassin he really is. Having from the very beginning how people who helped...

Murray Abraham About:  When Hiccup discovers Toothless isn't the only Night Fury, he must seek "The Hidden World", a secret Dragon Utopia before a hired tyrant named Grimmel finds it first. Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ7XUCQ6pbE My Review: Being a fan of the How To Train Your Dragon movies I couldn't resist but to give this a watch at the cinema the first chance I got and I was so happy I did as this film was so much better than I thought it would be. I thought that this film was great and really stayed true to the other films in this trilogy. By showing how Hiccup is still saving the dragons and how they are safe and free because of him and the others that are helping to save them from poachers I think is good to see as it shows how people who don't live on their island s...

Film: Glass Year: 2019 Genre: Drama, Sci-fi, Thriller Directed By: M. Night Shyamalan Starring: James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson About:  Security guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ghQs5AmNk&t=11s My Review: Having seen the other two movies in the trilogy which consists of Unbreakable and Split, I could not resist but to see Glass the first chance I got and I was not disappointed! This movie carries on from the ending of Split perfectly in which the beast is still around and killing people but this time with the difference of David trying to stop him. While trying however they end up in a psych ward and I liked that they done this as it kept the movie more to the real world in which they were hoping for. Having it so that someone would try to help them get better and stop delusions of being a super hero when t...

Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUkn-enk2RU My Review: Having seen Marvel bring out another movie to the MCU I just needed to see this film and got around to seeing it at the weekend. Although hearing a lot of mixed reactions I did like this film wasn't really impressed with it either. The movie is about how Scott is under house arrest and has a dream about Hope's mother and them trying to bring her back from the quantum realm however there is a woman called Eva who is able to phase and want's the power that Hope's mother would have in order to get her life back to normal.

Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell About:  Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) is left to care for the kids while Helen (Elastigirl) is out saving the world. Trailer:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5qOzqD9Rms My Review: Having loved the first movie when I was younger and impatiently waiting for a sequel I was so excited when the second The Incredibles movie came out after 14 years! The film is about how a man is trying to bring back superhero's and make them legal again and has a plan for making it happen which is by using Elastagirl in order to save the lives of the public again and this time by showing the superhero's point of view by camera's in their suits. As this happens a new villain arrives called Screenslaver who would hypnotise people under their control! I personally loved this movie so much and enjoyed how before the movie there was a short m...

My Review: Having heard amazing things about this film and that it has a lot of references to other movies, books and games I couldn't help but go to the cinema at the first opportunity I had to go and see this film.

Unsane (fiilm review)

Film: Unsane Year: 2018 Genre: Horror, Thriller Starring: Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, Jay Pharoah About:  A young woman is involuntarily committed to a mental institution, where she is confronted by her greatest fear--but is it real or a product of her delusion? My Review: Having seen the trailer for this on the tv and it grabbing my interest I decided to go to the cinema to see if this film was as good as the trailer had made out for it to be. So here is my views of it while seeing it on the big screen. This film is about a girl who goes to see a counselor to talk about her previous stalker and how she still sees him everywhere, after this while doing some paperwork she accidentally accepts to be admitted into a mental institution where it so happens that her stalker is now working. As she tries to come to terms with him being there she is also trying her hardest to get out so she can get away from him. I thought this film was rather boring in honesty with the introdu...

Maze Runner: The Death Cure (film review)

Film: Maze Runner: The Death Cure Year: 2018 Genre: Action, Sci-fi, Thriller Starring: Dylan O' Brien, Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario About: Young hero Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease known as the "Flare" . My Review:  The Death Cure being the third in the Maze Runner series follows Thomas and him trying to save Minho throughout this film. Later after finding out that Newt has the "Flare" Thomas tries to find a way to save him as well making this film full of action and suspense. However after being a big fan of this book by James Dashner and being really excited by the trailer and the movie itself I was both happily surprised and disappointed with this film. I did love this film because of the way that you could see what was happening to Minoh within "Wicked" and how they were willing to do anything to make a cure for the "Flare" no matter what the costs were. As well as this you got to see how people...
