Astronaut Roy McBride undertakes a mission across an unforgiving solar system to uncover the truth about his missing father and his doomed expedition that now, 30 years later, threatens the universe. #adastra #bradpitt You've seen 'The Martian?' Well so this isnt Matt Daemon and its not exactly the same. But.. one man in space... It deserves your full attention. It deserves you applauding Brad for being the one person on screen for a lot of the time. His character takes you on a journey. The earth is in trouble. Was it because of the Lima project that was sent years ago. Roy, with a physiological test roughly every 10 mins, takes off on this journey to Neptune. Sure throw in monkeys, pirates and dead people and you have AD Astra. For me i doff my cap to Brad. Slightly dissapointed at the 'action' scenes feeling like they came out of the blue and rushed. No spoilers but also wasnt sure about the Neptune moment. I get the passion. I think the quote "he didn't see what he did achieve' was. Go see it. Take a cushion.

What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister? #brightburn Ok great idea. Reverse the idea behind superman. Brandon has grown up having never bruised, never bled and lived cold free. On his 12th birthday the ship he arrived in as a child starts calling to him. Brandon starts to change. Bring on powers he never had and no skills on how to deal with them. But instead of a superman moment we have the opposite. Things start to go from creepy very quickly. Anger takes over and starts to affect school, family then home life. Will brandon be stopped. Is their a solution. The premise works. But for me although some great sequences its loses its way. Im not sure what it knows what it really wants to be. Horror. Or anti superhero. The same coupd be said about venom. Im not sure sony have a handle on this just yet. Defo a netflix.. https://www.instagram.com/p/By5tmG6hUYR/?igshid=1w1zyu9bnikv2

"If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you." Ok its about his son and well it could be #taken by any other name.. #coldpursuit When you know its liam.. you know what you are getting.. So his lad has been killed and he wants to take on the drug dealers. Who think its the other drug dealers. And start a turf war. I wanted this to either be a serious movie or a take on these kinds of movies. It felt it flirted between both. Come on liam... be someone else.. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv6yNuLnv07/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3v4kfdpqp8al

Fall.get back uo. #mid90s #jonahhill #cineworldunlimited #cinema #film You notice straight away this film has the 90s written all over it. The square screen, the grain in the film and the setting is perfect. Meet stevie. A no one. Living with his single parent mum and over protective brother. On a trip into town he spots the skateboard kids. Decides they are the people he wants to hang with. Its a simple storyline. Follow the 5 lads through the weeks. The highs, the lows and the mistakes kids make. Jonah Hill has done a great job.

Just say the word #shazam #cineworldunlimited #cinema #film Oh boy. I cannot believe what im going to write. A D.C. movie i like. Gulp. With the rush on superhero movies D.C. never seem to, for me, hit the mark. Although when WW turned up i felt they have turned for the best. A young Mark Strong is whisked away to another world where he is approached by the wizzard (djimon hounson) shazam. But after failing the temptation test he is whisked back to normal life. This dark start to the movie sets the tone and i loved it. Forward a number of years and meet Billy. On the move as he is fostered from family to fanily. One day on the run from bullies he is also whisked off to see the wizzard. As a last resort the wizzard hands over the power of Shazam. Just say the word. So Billy and other foster kid Freddie go to work on his new powers. This film builds and doesnt rush. Its a fun trip and doesnt add from the simple storyline. Yet when we add more characters it still works. Wow D.C. well done. This is defo worrh a watch. Sure Mark Strong has a matrix moment but all is forgiven as i leave a happy guy. Has D.C. worked out how rhey want to be? (at Cineworld Stoke-on-Trent) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv6t4rpHJEr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rehi4zfk721g

A woman is boxed out by the male sports agents in her profession, but gains an unexpected edge over them when she develops the ability to hear men's thoughts #whatmenwant #film #cinema #cineworld #cineworldunlimited #movies Ali Davies (taraji p henson) takes on this all male work environment movie. Getting no where fast and not making partner is almost the last straw. After a psychic reading, tea and a bang on the head suddenly Ali can hear want men think. This leads to inevitable situations. Some even funny. I must admit i prefered the What Women Want. Which is given the nod in this. I really wanted to laugh but even the cinema was struggling. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvShYSmHM_U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vefe0gm64il5

So will we get an all round ending to our How to Train A Dragon series. #howtotrainyourdragon #cineworldunlimited #cinema #film This bright colourful animation has taken us on a journey through Hiccups life. From living with his dad, meeting Toothless, relationships with dragons. Bad guy Grimmel has killed every Toothless so far. He has a new sight in mind. Light Fury is the female and toothless also has a new sight in mind. The solution, surely if they all go to the hidden world no one will bother them afterall.. I loved this.

Take a couple who think adopting means the kids are the right age for them. #movies #cineworldunlimited #cinema #instantfamily A grin from ear to ear as Pete (Mark Walberg) and Ellie (Rose Byrne) decide to take on fostering 3 children. This film packs in the laughs using behaviour, conversation and reactions. For me it wasnt trying it was happening. Through in the foster class for the adults, the mistaken identity, the real mum, court cases and it will have you moving from tears of laughter to joy to sadness and back. Defo the cleanest laugh youll have this year. Wont win an Oscar but its funny enough to put on your dowload list.

Tish is pregnant. Fonny has been framed. The families come together to support. #ifbealestreetcouldtalk #movies #cineworldunlimited #cinema "Every black person born in America was born on Beale Street, born in the black neighborhood of some American city, whether in Jackson, Mississippi, or in Harlem, New York. Beale Street is our legacy" - James Baldwin This somber journey sees Tish (Kiki Layne) and Fonny (Stephan James) through life in Harlem in 1970s. With careful attention to flashbacks we see tish and fonny meet, fall in love and get pregnant. Characters are introduced that invade their lives so beautifully against a soundtrack that delves into 1970 musical history. Nothing is rushed but pace ensues as more and more is reveal that answers your questions why. Their are laugh out loud moments, tears of joy at the birth, moments of hope and despair as you cant believe the unfolding of the situation. You leave satisfied yet sad. Excellent performance from Kiki Lane. Really moving. Brilliant from Start to finish. So prefered this over Moonlight.

The whispering of men in the ears to two monarchs infuences relationships between Mary and Elisabeth. #maryqueenofscots #cineworld #movie #film #cineworldunlimited @cineworld Can we talk about this movie as a truely historical film. No. There are facts that are true but this, like other historical based movies, is allowing itself the frèedom of 21st century expression. "Mary returned to Scotland from France in 1561 to become the active monarch, and that her reign started well and began to crumble after she married her cousin Lord Darnley in 1565. The marriage soon fell apart and Darnley was murdered by an explosion two years later. Mary quickly married the Earl of Bothwell, and was forced to abdicate by rival nobles who objected to him becoming so closely interlinked with the throne. She ended up imprisoned before fleeing to England in 1568, where she was jailed  again, in large part because of the threat she posed to Elizabeth as a rival to the throne. She remained in captivity until she was executed in 1587" [source https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/mary-queen-scots-film-history-saoirse-ronan-real-true-story-elizabeth-oscars-a8738301.html] Aside from the inaccuracies Saoirse Ronan takes the role of Mary well. For me Her eyes display so much in her character from anger, love and determination. Along with beautiful dresses and colours. Throw in Margot Robbie and this queen of indecision fuelled by whispers, creating anxious times. Her hardness is well displayed and sadness of no children lovingly created. There is a lot packed into this movie over 16 yrs. Some scenes could have been intimated and reduced time as it felt slow. One to many beautiful scenes of Scotland. Crossovers to England and back on one level worked but racing through the years when even the characters didnt age was confusing. The trailer leads us to a fight scene. A battle between the catholics and protestants. Yet on arrival gave nothing of grandeur of battle and felt like an afterthought and playground ish A one point i felt im watching The Favourite. Oral sex is obviously the new thing. Best scene is between Mary and Elisabeth but its the one scene that never happened.

Can Shyamalan recreate a trilogy worthy of #Unbreakable and #Split #glass #movie #cinema @cineworld #cineworldunlimited #SamuelLJackson, #BruceWillis, and #JamesMcAvoy lead this star cast as their roles interweave together in this climatic end. Each with what they think are special superhero skills David Dunn (Bruce) with never being able to die (except with water), Kevin Wendell Crumb / The Beast / Patricia / Dennis / Hedwig / Barry / Jade / Orwell / Heinrich / Norma ALL played by McAvoy the beast is his real superhero character and Elijah Price / Mr. Glass played by Jackson the mastermind behind it all (although he breaks easily) With all now caught and in an institution will they escape, what is the big plan from Mr Glass. What are the twists that befall us. What links our characters together. The film is loaded with brilliant links to the other movies. Characters, Clothing, script and locations. Its a slow burn with a build to a big final. Then add a number of links and twists. Completely turn it on its head and you have a #Shyamalan movie. I loved it.. Loved McAvoy and ALL his characters.
