    Hi All,
    Megan (Via Sky Cinema) Another low budget Sci-Fi that did not disappoint and easily watchable again the first hour flies past despite there
    being none of the CGI theatrics that usually come with modern Sci-Fi genre films which makes a great change just a good watchable film that relies
    on the actors if you like the genre you should like this…:cool:

    Starring:-Anya Taylor-Joy,Kate Mara,Chris Sullivan,Jennifer Jason Leigh,Paul Giamatti,Toby Jones,Michelle Yeoh, and Rose Leslie.

    When artificial being “Morgan” (Anya Taylor-Joy) begins behaving unpredictably and attacks one of her handlers, corporate risk consultant Lee
    (Kate Mara) is called in to decide her future. Senior boffin Dr Ziegler (Toby Jones) is reluctant to terminate the project and is backed by Morgan’s
    minders, including behaviour specialist (Rose Leslie) and “Mother” Michelle Yeoh. However, Lee is concerned they may have grown too close to
    their subject… and she could be right. Chilling sci-fi thriller directed by Luke ‘son of Ridley’ Scott.

    Hi All,
    One of the few famous for their actions and famous for being so modest about it.

    RIP Mr Wilkinson and thank you.

    Hi All,
    Six chapters into the second book in his series Standing The Storm by William Allen Webb, if the first was anything to go by I will really enjoy the
    reading….:cool:

    Standing the final Watch (Book 1)
    America might be dead, but Nick Angriff will kick your ass to resurrect her. Lt. General Nick Angriff has spent his adult life protecting family and
    country from a world of terrorism spinning out of control. On the battlefield, off the grid, in clandestine special task forces and outright black ops,
    Angriff never wavers from duty. But when a terror attack on Lake Tahoe kills his family, he’s left with only the corrosive acid of revenge… that is,
    until a hated superior officer reveals the deepest of all secret operations.

    Against the day of national collapse, a heavily-armed military unit rests in cryogenic storage, to be awakened when needed, and Angriff is named
    its commander. Fifty years later he wakes to find the USA destroyed and predatory warlords roaming the ruins. Stalked by assassins bent on seizing
    his command for their own purposes, Angriff has to prepare for war while avoiding murder. Because the only wall still shielding survivors from slavery
    and death are the men and women of The Last Brigade.

    (Book 2) below.
    When the Last Brigade begins its mission of rebuilding America, they find enemies on all sides. In nearby Prescott, Arizona, a maniacal warlord proclaims
    himself the legitimate successor to the USA. To the east lurks the strange religious cult named the Caliphate of the Seven Prayers of the New Prophet,
    which kills anyone who doesn’t convert. And why is a Chinese military vehicle found to the north? In a tornado of exploding metal, Nick Angriff risks
    everyone and everything to save the innocents he has sworn to protect. Outnumbered and outgunned, the 7th Cavalry will not be outfought. They must
    either stand in the storm or see their beloved country die a final death.

    Hi All,
    Inferno (Via Sky Cinema) If you like the last two films based on novels of Dan Brown you’ll enjoy this third film IMHO…:eagerness:

    Starring:-Tom Hanks,Felicity Jones,Omar Sy,Ben Foster,Sidse Babett Knudsen,Irrfan Khan and Ana Ularu.

    Famous symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) follows a trail of clues tied to Dante, the great medieval poet. When Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones), a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories. Together, they race across Europe and against the clock to stop a madman (Ben Foster) from unleashing a virus that could wipe out half of the world’s population.

    Kill Me Three Times (Via Sky Cinema) Looks like this supposed comedy was a take the money and run film for Simon Peggg. Sadly this
    disappointing film does Simon Pegg no credit, it has a couple of funny lines but that’s it. Not to bad if you squint with one eye closed and viewed
    as a low budget Comedy/Drama at best but hey each to their own…:rolleyes:

    Starring:-Simon Pegg,Alice Braga,Sullivan Stapleton,Teresa Palmer as Lucy Webb, Nathan’s wife,Luke Hemsworth,Callan Mulvey and Bryan Brown.

    While on a seemingly routine job, a jaded hit man (Simon Pegg) discovers that he’s not the only one with his target in the crosshairs.

    Hi All,
    What About Bob (Via Sky Cinema) Just a good comedy with Richard Dreyfuss playing the straight man to Bill Murray by the end of the film
    you have had a good laugh all of the way through, even for it’s age the film it is still worth viewing especially if you need cheering up…:D

    Starring:-Bill Murray,Richard Dreyfuss,Julie Hagerty,Charlie Korsmo,Kathryn Erbe,Tom Aldredge,Susan Willis,Roger Bowen,Fran Brill,Brian Reddy
    and, Doris Belack.

    Before going on vacation, self-involved psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss) has the misfortune of taking on a new patient: Bob Wiley
    (Bill Murray). An exemplar of neediness and a compendium of phobias, Bob follows Marvin to his family’s country house. Dr. Marvin tries to get
    him to leave; the trouble is, everyone love Bob. As his oblivious patient makes himself at home, Dr. Marvin loses his professional composure and
    before long, may be ready for the loony bin himself.
