MONSTERS DARK CONTINENT

The sequel to the Sci-fi indie. Ten years after the original film. There are now infected zones worldwide. An army has been sent to the Middle East on a peace keeping mission. The beasts are waiting. A few special features. Vertigo Films 2014, 5030305518578. Some good nudity. Johnny Harris, Sam Kealey, Joe Dempsie, Kyle Soller, Nicholas Pinnock, Parker Sawyers. Cert 15

Unfriended


Horror from the makers of The Purge and Ouija. Cert 15. Story sounds familiar. A group of friends are being cyberstalked by an unseen figure. A shaming video led to a teenager to kill herself. Shelley Henning, Moses Storm, Renee Olstead, Will Peltz, Jacob Wysocki, Courtney Halverson, Heather Sossaman. Universal Pictures 2015. 5053083045654 There are no bonuses as this is a rental copy. You might like Chatroom, V/H/S, Cyberbully which starred Maisie Williams. I was hoping to see more of the girl's boobs. Skype/webcam chat. Looking at a computer screen. Some stuff typed which I cannot see. It's the private messaging part. I can't zoom on it so have to get up and get closer to the screen. The protagonist or who the audience is following. There is lots of clicking. I can't make head nor tail of what this person is typing or searching for. Seems a load of nothing. The trailer looked good. Jess is hot. It does begin to pick up. Great acting from the cast. Features swearing, violence and some sexual content. I will be looking at forum discussions. See the Amazon customer reviews.

The Duff


Comedy cert 12, 5030305518899. 2015 Cbs Films Inc. Just saw two good trailers before this feature: The Cobbler and The Big Lie.
You may have seen Mean Girls, She's All That, Easy A, Cruel Intentions, Struck By Lightening, The Breakfast Club, Clueless, Saved By The Bell. Bianca is an outsider. She discovered that she has been labelled a DUFF aka Designated Ugly Fat Friend. She befriends Wesley and is enemies with Madison. Cast Mae Whitman, Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne, Bianca Santos, Alison Janney. Miss Thorne is hot. The trailer looked interesting. There are several special features such as gag reel, behind the scenes. I'm sure this will become a cult hit with teens. Bianca has two hot friends. The artistic blonde Jess and the brunette Casey. Ken Jeong also stars. High School doesn't have to be shallow. Glad I grew up in the UK and not US. A good cast of actors. It seems with these teen movies, the character has to change their appearance in order to be accepted. That is just wrong. It is a satrical look at teen life. Reminds me a little of She's The Man. A mixed bag when it comes to a soundtrack.

Joss Whedon's Firefly


I remember watching the Buffy and Angel TV series. There is the Serenity film based on this TV series. You might have seen Marvel Avengers Assemble, Cabin In The Woods, Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Starring Nathan Fillion. This is a boxset cert 12, Fox TV 2002. 5039036016025 Special features include gag reel, behind the scenes, commentary plus more. I shall sell this on eBay. Sci-fi adventure set 500 years in the future. The crew of the Serenity go on various adventures in space. They try to avoid the Alliance and Reavers. I recommend the Rebel Series by Edward Robertson and books by Stephen Baxter. The series kicks off with a battle. Good piece of music. Some comedy as can be expected. There is a wild west theme to it. You might also have enjoyed Red Dwarf. The first disc has two episodes. It goes straight back to the Menu screen. Though it is in widescreen my dvd player has to be set manually. Adam Baldwin had got into some argument with black feminists on Twitter. The Ambassador is an attractive, sensual woman. Good acting and special effects. N Fillion was great in White Noise 2, Serenity, Buffy and Slither. Currently starring in crime drama Castle. Other Sci-fi westerns Cowboys And Aliens, Back To The Future 3, Westworld, Star Wars. I'm going to download the soundtrack. Region 2. It was cancelled but had gained cult status.
 

Robot Overlords


A Brit Sci-fi film on DVD now. The soundtrack ain't bad. Sir Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson star. Seems a bit ridiculous. The leader of the robots or interface is a simulant dwarf. Cert 12. You might like Robotropolis, The Machine, Humans, How I Live Now, Tomorrow When The War Began, Chappie. The robots have invaded the Earth. Setting a curfew for all humans. This is an independent film. Smythe is a 'Collaborator' a team of folk working for the robots. I can imagine what the Amazon customer reviews will be like. There are special features. Some stunning locations. The teen girl is pretty. Would I recommend this film? I doubt it.

For example there were Jurassic World, Dominion. Seventh Son. A fantasy adventure. Jeff Bridges as Gregory, a witch hunter. I was trying to work out that accent. Ben Barnes is his apprentice Tom.
