The Mandalorian (2019)
Pure Star Wars heaven.
The Mandalorian is truly amazing. I have really enjoyed each episode! Some are worth a 9 and others are an 8. The overall quality of the show is a solid 9/10 for me. Pure magic and an excellent ending.
Joker (2019)
Joker
I was hoping for something good. But it exceeded my expectations! A solid film with a great story to it. Phoenix did such a great job. Loved every minute of it!
Vader: A Star Wars Theory Fan Series: Shards of the Past (2018)
Vader
An incredible fan film. 10/10. Very emotional and plenty of action. Still my favourite villain.
Under the Skin (2013)
Dreadful
I don't usually do "bad" reviews as I don't think there's such a thing as a 1 start film.
HOWEVER:
This takes the biscuit of all crap films ever made. Its one of those "Thrillers" That just does not thrill me one tiny bit. Nothing happens in this film at all. I just sat there, waiting, and watching... nothing at all happens. Scarlett Johansson is alright in it. For the first time as a movie lover... I said to myself "I wasted some of my life today"
1/10. If there was a 0 rating, then it would be a 0.

12 Years a Slave (2013)
Wow.
I have seen other slave movies such as Django... But this takes the cake! I recommend this to everyone. If you like a good film, go see this.
Doesn't matter if your interested in black history or not... This film is epic. No wonder why its up for so many awards. It has made me want to find out more.
Along with The Help and Django, this part of Earth's history really does amaze and surprise me. I read The Help after I saw the film and I will do this also with 12 Years a Slave. Left me wanting to know more about Solomon Northup.
The cast were incredible and it was great to see them all in this film
Wish it was a longer movie, only flaw. 9/10.
Oblivion (2013)
What a waste of time and money.
This was one of those films that was so amazing (In my mind) that it completely failed.
I went with my girlfriend and I was really excited about it. I love Tom and Morgan and they acted very well in the film. Though Morgan had not much screen time at all which was upsetting...
The whole film was pointless... There's a big box in the sky that controls random attack pods and Tom repairs them? Rubbish stuff. I expected too much.
I thought it was going to be an Epic, but the trailer for the film is more exciting than the actual film.
Please make a Top Gun 2 instead eh!

Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)
What a let down
I went alone to see this film (girlfriend too scared to come with me) Was quite excited as I like scary films and I liked the first 3.
But this was total rubbish, I saw it on the first day that it opened and was completely bored through out the film.
Found myself thinking about how nice their home looked and how I was wondering what I was gonna have for dinner!
I had to force myself to sit and watch it till the end to see if it would save the film... it didn't.
There was only 9 people watching the screening that I was in, I went to an early showing in case it sold out! The guys in the back row were laughing at how bad it was. The main actress made a massive mistake in one scene, which I hope you will all notice... as when she is locked in the garage with the car and she can't get in to switch the car off so she smashes a window to get in, however when she smashes the window for some reason she is easily able to open the car from the outside? Total mistake there!
Anyway, I do hope this helps people who are in two minds about this "Horror" film.
Thanks for reading. Happy movie viewing!
Taken 2 (2012)
Good Stuff (Again)
Went to see this with my partner, she and I enjoyed the first one and we enjoyed the second one just as much.
Liam Neeson is ace in the film, there is a moment where I thought "Is he gonna loose"?
The daughter is amazing, really comes in to her own. I absolutely love her driving skills even though she doesn't have a license at this point!
Interesting how Liam leaves his wife behind a couple of times though, but I understood why once I thought about it properly after the showing.
In all 7/10 same as I rated the first one.
Thanks for reading. Happy movie viewing!
