        Hurt Locker: 3/10

        Didn't care for this too much. I don't understand why this movie was hyped so much either. Same with Zero Dark Thirty which was the same director.

          Katheryn Bigelow's best movie is Point Break.  Anyone who disagrees should see a doctor immediately.

            Point Break is amazeballs. But I’ve just booked an appointment with my local practitioner because Near Dark is her best movie. I really enjoyed The Hurt Locker too. Intelligent war movie.

              Went to a Surf Music Festival last Summer,and saw a band called The Great White Caps play along with the movie Point Break. They were fantastic.

                      Big Hero 6: 9/10

                      Thought this was a fun movie. For a non-pixar film it was well done.

                        Annihilation: 7/10

                        Interesting to say the least. I do like Alex Garland's stuff, so i'll watch pretty much anything he touches. The ending was kinda meh but I liked the story.

                          *** SPOILER ALERT FOR ANNIHILATION***

                          I know what you mean about the ending but what’s good about it, seen in context with the rest of the film, is that this was potentially all part of the alien entitiy’s plan. That is to say that The Shimmer was not the thing threatening to annihilate the Earth, but a honey trap designed to lure humans in and to enable the alien entity to change into human form and gain access to the rest of the planet.

                            True. Although, if that's the case it's very similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers (not that that's a bad thing). It kinda felt like a bait and switch. You're lead to believe that Portman's character did in fact kill the alien and thereby destroyed The Shimmer. But then you see her eyes glow when she visits Kane. The only plausible explanation I can think of for this is that Lena's DNA somehow got switched into the alien proto form. This would explain why you see the alien setting fire to the rest of the lighthouse.

                                I always have trouble with US of A war films…They are only ever one sentence away from praising the good Lord and singing America the great...that said, Hacksaw Ridge was a great movie made all the better for being a true story, with apparently very little artistic licence used.

                                      Oh yes. It’s a seriously accomplished bit of indie cinema. Genre story, respectful of the tropes, but refreshingly different and she somehow manages to combine the romance, violence, action and cool all at the same time. Throw in Lance Henriksen and the dear departed Bill Paxton and you’re on to a winner.

                                        Pale Rider is one of my all time favourite movies.

                                          I watched Point Break dozens of times as a kid but haven't seen it again as an adult yet in it's entirety.  I'll have to check it out again….for some reason the thing that sticks out to me the most in that movie is Anthony Kiedis' lol
