I dont usually watch Marvel films these days i only mention this because if you are in the same boat as me and are not bothered about this you should give it a chance but anyway this looked different so i thought it was worth a shot and i must say i loved it had a much darker tone lots of violence a story and characters you actually cared about far from the usual turn off your brain and watch the effect type film. Must admit to having a lump in my throat at one point.

8/10

Hacksaw Ridge tells the story of war hero Desmond Doss a man willing to sacrifice his own safety and to uphold his personal beliefs against violence. Desmond refusing to carry a gun into battle heads to Okinawa where he vows to save lives as a medic rather than take them. Whilst at the Battle of Okinawa Desmond saves 70+ men single handedly which is even more amazing for two reasons firstly because they were all behind enemy lines and secondly this is no hollywood script this is a true story.

The real Desmond Dos

Fantastic film about the strength of human spirit , determination ,conviction ,courage and sacrifice. The battle scenes are brutal and horrific but in no way is the violence glorified it shows that war is not goodies versus the baddies its the innocent butchering the innocent. Little interviews with the real life soldiers during the credits always gets me seeing this poor old men and women and the horrors they witnessed and have had to live with all their lives.

Brynner has never been more menacing than his turn as the unstoppable gunslinger at the amusement park from hell.
It's influence on other future films can never be underestimated.

I watched this again last night. It still shocks me when Brynner guns down James Brolin in the street. Firstly because it shouldn't have happened and secondly because Brolin seems more equipped to become last man standing against the machines than Richard Benjamin.

The Wrestler (2008)

I still think ‘Angel Heart’ (one of my top ten films of all genres) is still Mickey Rourke’s best film, but this comes mighty damn close. Truly great filmmaking.

It's so good this film, and it really touched me. I'm pretty sure I cried quite a few times

And the role was tailor made for Rourke. He's just fantastic in it.

The Lego Batman movie is so much fun. So much on the screen to take in trying to spot everybody. Great to see the 'Super-Friends' party at the Hall of Justice. So many villains here that it is impossible to see them all in the background. Some of the dialogue from Batman to the Joker at the beginning of the film would not be out of place in a serious live action movie.



As others have pointed out. This is Wolverine for adults. No super hero stuff here and the X-Men are not even mentioned. Great action scenes and plenty of carnage as Logan and X-23 fight their way to the border.

A shit dad learns the meaning of fatherhood on a train full of zombies. Big budget zombie mayhem that delivers in action and a surprisingly on an emotional level too. Easily the best zombie film in years. Recommended.
