I am a big fan of war movies and heard a lot about this film. I saw it last night and was totally blown away (excuse the pun).the acting especially by the three kids was first class.the boy with ptsd was harrowing the way the doctors treating him.when the school got hit and the parents running to the school you could feel the anxiety and pain in their faces.and it a true story as well..the sub plot with the policeman (ivar the boneless from vikings) and the nun I thought was a bit pointless it's my only gripe but doesn't detract from a fantastic film a definite must see even if you don't like war films. 10 out of 10..

I saw this film on bbc2 beginning of the year and was well impressed. I grew up in hackney east London and can totally relate to this film. It is warts and all the lad in this film deserves to go far he played a very good role in it. I can't understand why this film didn't have a wider audience it deserves it it sends a message that drug dealing is bad news.not that it gonna make a difference.overall I gve this a 10/10 it such a good film it deserves a wider audience..the only gripe I got is that the drug dealer got away he should have been arrested but that's my opinion..
But the message is there..

Plane

A bit far fetched

I like Gerald butler so was looking forward to seeing this but..it was so far fetched even the wife was laughing at it.i won't give away too much but you got to watch it with an open mind.he lands a plane in a jungle in one piece finds a phone on an island in the Philippines and starts ringing new York and California (no time difference by the way).the rescue party seem to fly from America to the Philippines in about an hour.etc etc. Was disappointed in this film. Will still go to see more of his films though..overall it wasn't a bad film you just need to leave your brain at the door and pick it up on the way out..
La Brea

Total nonsense.

Warning: Spoilers
Where do I start? I don't think i've ever seen such woke unbelievable nonsense as this.. the storyline is so unreal I thought I would give it a go but when they found the message in the bottle I turned it off. The Sci fi channel would seriously struggle to make this drivel if you want to watch something watch paint dry it's more entertaining and less far fetched..why they signed up for this I will never know.nbc you have made a big Turkey..
Skyline
(2010)
Good film
4 September 2019
To tell the truth I quite enjoyed this film. The effects were good and had a good story too it. The ending is not what you expect at all I suppose that what makes it different to all the other Sci fi films. I give it an 8..forget the haters this a solid 8 in my book..
Night of the Big Heat
(1967)
Classic Sci fi.

First saw this in early seventies and still love it. OK the effects aren't the best glowing jelly for aliens but hey British budget's weren't the best in those days. The two horror heavyweights are here though (that's where the budget went) Peter crushing and Christopher Lee also Patrick Allen overall I love these films brings me back to my childhood.. a perfect ten.
Red Tails
(2012)
Far fetched

Warning: Spoilers
I was looking forward to watching this but was dissapointed. The computer graphics are very basic I would have thought George lucas behind it he should have spent more money. Also 4 fighters destroying 60+planes on the ground? Also they never seem to run out of bullets.. Poor film. Unrealistic.
Operation Red Sea
(2018)
Wow..
19 July 2019
I bought this in the bargain bucket at my local supermarket. I'm a big fan of Asian cinema and this didn't dissapoint. The action is relentless tottaly enjoyed this film and look forward to more of it. Best £3 I ever spent..
The Night Eats the World
(2018)
Rather dissapointing
16 June 2019
This is a so so film a bit like Robinson crusoe but the ending was disappointing. Also the zombie in the lift after six months you would have thought he would have decomposed? A few too many plot holes that I won't go into..
