Fahrenheit 451 is a SciFi thriller starring Michael B Jordan and Michael Shannon. It is an HBO film based on the novel by Ray Bradbury. Cert 15. Set in the future. Art, history, literature are destroyed. Could call it post apocalyptic. Preventing people from thinking for themselves. You may have seen The Book Of Eli, Oblivion, 1984, The Time Machine, Momentum, Blade Runner, The Matrix, The Purge, Total Recall, Running Man, Hunger Games, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd, RoboCop, Repo Man, In Time, Black Mirror, Lost. There is the saying "knowledge is power" These guys are firemen. Got to look at the back story about this world. There are rebels/resistance groups trying to preserve history and they are referred to as Eels. People's identity and individuality are removed. Sophia Boutella plays an informant. She is stunning. The internet exists. It is called the Nine. A civil war started this new revolution. The firemen have their own reality TV show. They act like corrupt cops, they don't put out fires but start them. Age of fake news and propaganda. Misinformation. They mention Benjamin Franklin. There is a film of the same name from 50 years ago. Best to see IMDb trivia. So many books are referenced. Great cast of actors.
I rented Revenge from the local library. I put it into the DVD player and it is skipping. Barely got to the actual menu. This is an independent film. Starring Matilda Lutz. She has a fantastic body, as does her boyfriend. The protagonist is spending time away with her boyfriend in a remote location. This is an action thriller. Jennifer is American. Her playboy boyfriend is French. Two of his associates drop by. Interesting cinematography. Good cast of actors. Dome shots focused on her ass. The friends are interested in her. The boyfriend Richard isn't telling her everything. One of the chaps is creepy. Unable to handle rejection. There is a sexual assault. There are some weird camera shots. After an argument she does a runner. She is left for dead. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
You might also like I Spit On Your Grave, The Revenant, The Woman, Tomb Raider, Columbiana, Jungle. Some dialogue is in French with subtitles and the rest is in English. I will look up trivia and discussion. There is a hunting expedition. DVD skips in scenes. Batter the person that had it before. It has violence and nudity. Cert 18 Kevin Janssens plays the boyfriend Richard. Vincent Colombe plays Stanley and Guillaume Bouchede is Dmitri. A film by Coralie Fargeat.

Deadpool 2 starring Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, TJ Miller, Brianna Hilderbrand, Jack Kesy, Terry Crews amongst a star studded cast. The menu screen had a montage with Aha - Take On Me playing. It is in a vhs format. Plenty of violence, humour and pop culture references. The fourth wall breaking anti-hero is back. He is joined by his X-force. Old characters and new are included. It was an amusing film. The opening credits were like a James Bond film. The post credits scenes are good. Wade has been searching for a villain. He makes his way through the henchmen and the boss swears his revenge. Meanwhile you have a teenage mutant named Firefist. He is in an orphanage where they do experiments. He has caused mayhem already. You have Cable. Part man part machine. A guy you don't want to mess with. He is from the future and looking for someone. Domino is hot as are Nagasake Teenage Warhead and Vanessa. Expect cameos. Nice soundtrack. Deadpool really has his work cut out. They have upped the ante. Ryan Reynolds also works behind the scenes as he did with the first film. Venom is out in cinemas next month. New Mutants, Dark Phoenix, Captain Marvel, Avengers 4 are yet to be released. There are extras on this DVD. There are surprising scenes. Dupinder should have been used a lot more. Is he just some comedic Asian stereotype for everyone to laugh at? It's not Van Wilder again. Cert 15. Hugh Jackman quote on the cover. I will look at discussions and reactions.

The Lost World (Jurassic Park 2) starring Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Vanessa Lee hester, Richard Attenborough, Vince Vaughan, Pete Postlethwaite. I watched Fallen Kingdom a few weeks ago. We see Dr Ian Malcolm. Nice transition from the scene of the British family on the island to Malcolm at the subway. There is a second island. An expedition team has been sent there to observe the dinosaurs. Sarah a paleontologist and Ian's girlfriend. Ian makes his way to the island. With him is his daughter. Was she from an interracial marriage or adopted? This day and age there will be people triggered by this. Cert PG. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Plenty of bonus features. Good humour and action. Great actors and special effects. At the time of writing I will be selling this DVD on EBay.
Subtitles are automatically on. A team of hunters has been sent by Ingen. If you haven't seen this film then do. Share this blog with as many people as you can.

Written and directed by Shane Black who starred in the first film. This is essentially a reboot paying tribute to previous films. It opens up with two Predator ships in a cat and mouse chase. The first ship managed to escape and is transported to Earth. It crashes in the states. Meanwhile a soldier named McKenny (Boyd Holbrook) is on a mission. He'd got his hands on the alien tech and had it posted home. The army are after him and the Predator. The creatures are more brutal. The violence is graphic. You actually get to see them use their teeth. An actor that played a scientist is Jake Busey. His father was in Predator 2. Olivia Munn is hot as is Yvonne Strahovski. The young son with Autism is played by Jacob Tremblay. A great young actor. He accidentally sets off a beacon within the armour which leads to the second ship coming to Earth. There is plenty of humour in this film. I enjoyed it. I ignored the reviews. Keegan Michael Key plays the comedic guy Coyle. Similar to Rick Hawkins. There are a mixed bunch of characters. There has been controversy over casting of a sex offender. Stirling K Brown plays Traeger. He is like Carl Weathers character. Has an annoying laugh. Sometimes the Predators don't need to kill as the humans do a good job of it themselves. I don't know if there will be a sequel. You do have another type of Predator like in the third film. The film reveals more of the back story of the creatures. Why they visit various planets. I recommend that you go see it. It isn't dark like Alien Vs Predator Requiem. I watched this at Cineworld. Seat G11. I suggest you sit in that area for the best view. It was quite empty in the theatre. Some girl was talking. I helped a guy out when he wanted to book tickets. Also on my way to the cinema. An Eastern European man wanted to get back to Leicester. He had worked a shift in Loughborough and so I directed him to the bus stop. It had been expensive for him. A long journey too. That's the thing with agencies. Full cast.
