Grand Slam
Hilarious movie which follows a group of Welsh rugby supporters as they travel to Paris to watch the final match in the 5 Nations Championship in which Wales could win the Grand Slam. This is a brilliant comedy that will appeal to people regardless if they're not Welsh or a rugby fan. The antics of the motley group in the movie bring many laughs especially in the Paris strip club. Oscar winning actor Hugh Griffith leads the awesome cast which includes Windsor Davies and Dewi 'Pws' Morris. Despite it's short running time it packs a lot in - comedy, violence, sex, sport and camaraderie. It would have been nice had there been a sequel with the same cast of characters but it never happened. It might look dated now but who cares. It's a delightful fun-filled movie.

Zhong ji sha shou
This is a decent Taiwanese actioner in which two hired killers go against their organisation in order to save a woman they've been asked to eliminate. Although this kind of movie with it's plot has been done to death, it's still worthy of seeing just for the exciting action scenes on display. At just 75 mins long, the movie zips through and although there is some ridiculous melodrama thrown in, there is plenty of martial arts / gunplay to satisfy most Asian movie action fans.

The 13th Floor

The 13th Floor
On the 13th floor of an office building, a young boy is murdered. His uneasy soul now inhabits the electricity system of that floor. The abandoned floor is now home for some runaway young adults. One of them just happened to see the murder of the boy when she was a little girl, because she's the daughter of the murderer. She plans to give out the information of her corrupt father, but he plans to get that information back. At any cost. This ia a horror thriller from Australia. The main problem is nothing much happens until the last 20 mins. The supernatural element of the storyline is played down which is a shame as it would have made this movie far more interesting. The ghostly boy only appears now and then. Things pick up near the climax but by then you might either still be watching or have switched off. This could have been a great ghostly revenge movie but unfortunately it's only average at best. A wasted opportunity.

Schoolgirl Complex
A complete borefest set in a Japanese all girls school where the arrival of a new student to the broadcasting club stirs up feelings amongst some girls for their fellow classmates. If you're expecting this to be full of lesbian action then you've come to the wrong movie. This is a movie that explores taboos in a sensitive manner but done in a rather dull way. The acting is good by the cast but the storyline revolving around an arts festival is just so boring it's enough to make you go to sleep.

The Avenging Quartet
4 of the baddest female martial arts actresses from Hong Kong star in this so and so actioner. Moon Lee, Yukari Oshima, Cynthia Khan and Michiko Nishiwaki come together just for this movie although the majority of this movie is dominated by Moon and Cynthia whilst the other two only have bit part roles but when they come together sparks fly and the hand to hand fighting between them is fantastic. The story isn't the best and is plodding at times but when it switches to the action scenes then the movie comes alive. Not one of the best in the Guns n Girls genre but you've got to see it just for the ladies.

Our Little Sister

Our Little Sister
This is a beautiful slow moving story about 3 sisters finding out that they have a young half sister after their father dies. The eldest sister invites her new found sister to live with them in Kamakura. There is no plot as such in this movie - it's a slice of life drama as the sisters get to know more about their new sibling and their father who left them and their mother to go with a new woman. It's got fantastic performances, beautiful directing, brilliant dialogue and an emotionally impressive, but never melodramatic story. The cinematography around the seaside town of Kamakura is stunning. Overall, Our Little Sister is a wonderful movie, and it uses understated drama in a brilliantly realistic and immersive way, helped further by great performances and fantastic directing by Hirokazu Koreeda.

Hyperspace
aka Gremloids. One of the better low budget Star Wars parodies from the 80's. A villain known as Lord Buckethead along with his Jawa like sidekicks make a mistake and land on Earth trying to look for stolen radio transmissions in a droid which is in the hands of Princess Serena. A pest control man and a female mechanic are dragged into the fray and have to stop the aliens. This is a very funny sci-fi comedy with some decent special effects. It is similar somewhat in humour to what Monty Python would be doing. There's a wacky chase in a supermarket involving flying carts and a funeral for a cow in a church that was shot by the aliens! The funniest character in the movie has to be Lord Buckethead. All his scenes are hilarious. The people behind this movie have to be congratulated for making something so great with so little money. Star Wars fans should definitely check this out.

The Lego Batman Movie
After hating the Lego movie, I thought I'd give this a go just in case it might amuse me. It didn't! It's a predictable, unfunny movie with no substance. The dialogue and jokes are bad. There's no storyline as such, just an excuse for the scriptwriters to put some obscure references to make themselves look clever. Whatever plot you do have is nonsensical. The kids will obviously love it and that's fine because it's targeted for them. I really regret having had to watch this garbage. I know next time to avoid any Lego movie going.

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
This is a brilliant sequel that dare I say is better than the first. Everything about it is fantastic from the action scenes, great performances and there's hardly any dull moments in it. What I love most is there's a possibility of a third movie which I hope does happen in the future. Director Chad Stahelski does what worked the first time around and tries to expand this world of assassins and continental hotels. The plot is just straightforward and simple, which the film just uses to put every fight sequence in play. It would sometimes feel like a video game seeing John Wick fight against countless bad guys in every set piece in a creative way and on easy mode, which makes him look unstoppable. Keanu Reeves is excellent as John Wick. This movie is an exciting joy ride for action fans and I highly recommend it.

Fifty Shades Darker
The first 50 Shades movie was terrible but this one is even more atrocious. I did go into the movie with an open mind but after only 10 mins I knew this was going to be truly awful. There is simply nothing good to say about this movie as the plot, hammy acting and the so-called chemistry between the two leads are diabolical. I've seen some crappy movies in my time and this is one of them.

The Culling
Yet another dull generic horror movie about a bunch of teens heading out to SXSW festival but being diverted to a farmhouse after helping out a little girl that has lost her grandfather. From there all hell breaks loose. The movie plays on countless tropes, but comes off as mediocre and redundant and otherwise annoying as characters attempt to gain control of the situation. The acting is stiff and wooden across the board. The dialogue sounds as if it were written by a 12-year-old. The only thing more prevalent in the script than plot holes, loose ends, and red herrings is the question mark at the end of every other sentence. Unless you're desperate to see something, I wouldn't bother with this one.

Friend Request
This movie sounded quite promising on paper. The storyline follows Laura who accepts a friend request on Facebook from another girl Marina at the same college as her as she feels sorry for the poor girl. She doesn't have any friends online. It is quickly apparent that Marina is a bit strange and is practically stalking Laura. Laura decides to unfriend Marina and that's when thing's take a turn for the worse. It's here that the movie turns a bit flat and is pretty much like any other run of the mill horror. A few predictable jumps here and there and thats about it. Liesl Ahlers is perfectly cast as 'the creepy girl' but we have all seen this movie before and it offers nothing fresh at all.

Sixteen
A former African child soldier Jamal now living in London with his adopted mother witnesses a fatal stabbing one night. The attacker and his friend keep putting pressure on him not to say anything. Jamal finds it difficult to keep his violent streak down because of this. An interesting Brit indie movie. It is tagged as a thriller but it isn't one at all. More of a drama than a thriller. It has a nice performance by lead Roger Nsengiyumva especially when paired with his teen girlfriend, their chemistry has a certain allure and is well filmed, the drama and comedy invoked in the scenes between these two characters create a likability in the movie that is undeniable. There are some violent scenes but these are few and far between. I was expecting tension to ramp up when the attacker starts targeting Jamal's home but this fails to materialise. The ending I thought seemed too rushed. It's still a good character piece by debutant director Rob Brown but it could and should've been a lot better than what it was. Worth taking a look.

Au Pair Girls (1972)
Yet another British sexploitation comedy movie from the early 70's. Four sexy young foreign girls come to the UK to work and get intimate with their respective employers! It's a below average comedy which is more like a Z-list Carry On movie. The natural attraction to watching this movie is of course the gorgeous young leads led by Gabrielle Drake. There isn't a story as such - it's just a sorry excuse for the ladies to get totally naked which they do! There are cameos from John Le Mesurier (quite shocked to see him appear in this kind of movie) and future Coronation Street star Johnny Briggs. Depends if you're into this kind of comedy whether you'll like it or not. It's very dated and the slapstick humour is poor.

The Apology King revolves around a small company whose founder's job is to help folks make sincere apologies when they make a stupid and embarrassing mistake. It's a great surreal comedy that will definitely make you laugh. The movie is cut into segments highlighting 6 successful cases that Yuzuru has done and the way that he instructs each client to apologise properly. Each segment is entertaining though the 5th one about a film company insulting a small nation called Montan went on for far too long and wasn't that amusing. Even the real life incident involving Erika Sawajiri is mocked in the movie. Mao Inoue and Sadao Abe are the main leads and make for a good pairing though the supporting cast is also brilliant in helping the story move along. And I guarantee you'll never forget this catchphrase "Hairy Armpits, Statue Of Liberty"!!

Barking Dogs Never Bite
This excellent dark comedy was the debut of director Bong Joon-ho (of Memories of Murder fame). Dog lovers will be shocked at the treatment of the canines in this movie so be aware of that before watching it. For those that don't know - dogs are cooked and eaten in South Korea. The storyline is about a man who is so annoyed at yapping dogs in his apartment block that he takes action by kidnapping and then killing them but during one incident he is seen by 2 women on the rooftop of another building. There are many twists and turns which makes this movie so good. The performances of the two leads (Lee Sung-jae and Bae Doona) are superb and the comedy is very funny. This movie is hailed as one of the best from South Korea and you can see why. It is awesome. Don't miss out on this one.
