127 Hours is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston's remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah.

Over the next 127 hours Aron examines his life and finally discovers he has the courage to chop off his trapped arm and escape the canyon.

Not great but not bad either, watch if nothing better showing. 

6/10

Legend – a paranoid schizophrenic walks into a bar!

True story - Set in 1960’s London. Legend is a classic British gangster thriller, tells the rise and fall of London's most notorious gangsters, Reggie and Ronnie Kray.  Both roles were very convincingly portrayed by Tom Hardy, I frequently forgot that both roles were the same actor. There are loads of graphically violent scenes, look out for the bar fight where the brothers are facing off a rival gang. Ronnie, the paranoid schizophrenic, walks out and immediately returns with two hammers and all hell breaks loose! Very highly recommended. 10/10

In order for Thor to get back, he first needs to beat the champion gladiator, who happens to be the 'HULK'. This is also the point where we're introduced to another excellent show stealing character, 'Korg&#

Hereditary - tragic family drama

By

Psychological horror drama about a recently deceased grandmother and the strange connection she had with her daughter and granddaughter, and the equally strange dynamic the mother has with her husband and son.  These characters seem to be possessed at different points by a spirit with horrific consequences. Though I'm not a horror fan, the rave reviews made me curious. This is a well-made film with some great acting, though the ending is weird. Several scenes with lots of naked elderly people without knowing why they were there was unnecessary, and drug taking scenes never sit well with me either, but that might just be me. 6/10
