The Cobbler. A fantasy comedy starring Adam Sandler. Funny and sweet. Set in New York. The Cobbler has a machine to repair shoes. Fourth generation business. He puts on a pair of shoes and becomes anyone he wants. Great acting from all the cast. The blonde in this is hot with a fantastic body Elena Kampouris as Alexia. Method Man, Steve Buscemi, Dan Stevens, Dustin Hoffman, Ellen Barkin, Melanie Diaz also star. Pixels, Big Daddy, Reign On Me, Punch Drunk Love are films that I recommend. Nice Jewish music. Special features are behind the scenes. The milf business woman has nice tits (Ellen B). It is quite dark in places. Cert 12, 5030305518936. Written and directed by Paul McCarthy.

Alan Rickman

Spy

Spy starring Melissa McCarthyJude Law, Rose Bryne, Jason Statham. From the makers of The Heat, Bridesmaids. Action comedy. Cert 15. Original and extended version. Great opening sequence paying homage to Bond. Allison Janey and Miranda Hart also appear. Monica Boccarin is hot as always. Parodies Bourne, Mission Impossible too. Peter Serafinowiz. Good soundtrack. Statham gets good lines. Susan is sent on a mission to track a villian and hopefully the CIA can get their hands on a nuclear weapon. Good actors. Rayna is dislikeable. In one scene Susan looks like Dawn French. Hart gets annoying. There is this pretty brunette which plays a small part. Extra features are bloopers.

Behind Closed Doors aka The Poker House

Based on a true story by Lori Petty. Stars Selma Blair as a drug using mother, seems flat chested too. Teenage daughter Jennifer Lawrence who has to take care of everything. Chloe Grace Moretz is incredibly cute. Set in the 70s. The family live in poverty. There is a pimp that visits often played by Bokeem Woodbine. Various characters, some are bizarre. Interesting bar scene thanks to David Alan Grier. Great acting. You might like It's Kind Of A Funny Story, 8 Mile. It is a drama. There is a young girl that is the middle sister Sophie Bairley. Chloe has always been a top actress. I had only just watched Carrie again. There are programmes like Benefit Street for you to see. Strong dialogue and subject matter. I could look up Wikipedia, forum discussions and articles detailing what must have happened to the characters left behind. Lori was in the film Tank Girl. http://amzn.to/1SCW5Fe

Hick
Based on a true story. Stars Chloe Grace Moretz. Some of the dialogue I couldn't hear because of the accent. Eddie Redmayne is some strange man giving the girl a lift. She is headed to Las Vegas. Blake Lively, Juliet Lewis, Alec Baldwin also star. Music is interesting. Luli had only just turned 13. You may have seen The Poker House, Wild, Tracks. Some impressive drawings. See the reviews and back story. Contains swearing, violence, drug abuse and some strange subjects. These are a good cast of actors but the characters aren't likeable. Based on a novel by Andrea Portes. I'm left wondering what the fuck.

The team run by Franklin Storm are working on a teleportation system. The teens venture to the other dimension and that's where they gain their power. A Marvel Studios 2015"! release. No mid credits scene. Good special effects, acting and story. Worth checking out.

Aldi Telescope Christmas Advert 2015

My copy of Tusk had arrived. New and going on eBay myworld.eBay.co.UK/Solitarymaninblack soon. Written and directed by Kevin Smith. A cross between Human Centerpiede and Misery. One way to look at it from the trailer. Horror starring Justin Long as radio dj Wallace. He is making a trip to Canada to meet an old man played by Michael Parks. Dark and twisted events occur. Cert 15. Contains humour. Based on actual events. Cool soundtrack. Good dialogue and acting. Wallace reminds me of Anthony Kiedis. Pokes fun at Canadian and American culture. Haley Joel Osment plays Wallace's friend and fellow dj. Haley was the little boy in The Sixth Sense. See the discussions and special features. I'm sure it is Johnny Depp that plays the detective. 5035822550230

The Stranger Cert 18, Koch Media 2015. Produced by Eli Roth, directed by Guillermo Amoedo. Horror, quite strange reading the blurb. The theme playing during the DVD menu is good. Ok so this fella named Martin has come to a small town looking for Ana. He finds that she had passed on. Whilst sitting on a bench he is attacked by some thugs. A young man named Peter helps him out. Ana suffered from a disease that makes her addicted to human blood. Perhaps a cannibal or vampire. You might like The New Daughter, Maggie, Let Me In, Extinction, Stakeland, World War Z, The Lazurus Effect, I Am Legend, Contaigon, Carriers. Interesting and different. See Imdb for full cast list. Rented from the library. 4020628870386.

Une Heure De Tranquillite aka Do Not Disturb cert 15. StudioCanal 2014 5055201832481. Subtitled. French film, comedy about a Jazz music fan named Michel. He finds a rare record and hopes to have some time alone to listen to it. But friends, family and neighbours all want some of his time. I recommend Spanish film I'm So Excited and another French film Taxi, American indie The Visitor, Two Days In New York and TV series The Returned, Brit flick with David Tennant What We Did On Our Holiday. Set in Paris. Recent events meaning France will get lots of mention. Great cast of actors.


Maggie A horror starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin. A father is in turmoil as his daughter had been bitten by a zombie and is infected. She will change and Wade wants to spend as much time with her as he can. You might like The Walking Dead, The Stranger, The New Daughter, Z Nation, Extinction, World War Z. Cert 15, 5053083037697 Universal Pictures 2014. It is more a drama. Slow moving. Something different for Arnie to be involved in. Normalises the horror genre. See how the people deal with living in a post apocalyptic world. The change from human to monster. How the infection is just like any other disease eg ebola, cancer etc. The music may be worth downloading.
