Captain Phillips (2013)
Better than ever Hanks is amazing
Captain Phillips is based on true events, and not something I would normally watch. Tom Hanks always seems to deliver, and his performance in this is not only gripping but makes you believe in the character he is portraying. The film leaves you on edge throughout and Hanks leads the film throughout, with great support from others. The pirates in particular show great technique and skill in trying to make you believe what it would have been line to be in this situation.
Only downfall in the plot, was you knew what was coming and it seemed to take some time to get there, but nothing else that you can really critique here.
The Young Offenders (2016)
Lovely Irish Friendship Story
I don't normally watch UK or Irish films, not sure why, but I found this a great entertaining watch. Hidden in amongst the backdrop of Cork, is two friends who go on a great adventure together, but this is not your conventional Disney tale.
They end up in a few scrapes and this all comes together at then end, I would have rated higher, but the story was too obvious and you could see what was coming, but this didn't get away from the fact you still want to watch while the end, just to see what happens.
Highly recommended, but don't watch when the kids are around.
College Road Trip (2008)
Not great
My expectations weren't very high before watching this movie, and it lived up to this. Poor acting throughout and a storyline that was very predictable. If you just want an easy watch, with a few laughs then this movie is for you.
