I've just finished watching this Australian sci-fi apocalyptic thriller on Amazon Prime.
It's a very thought-provoking drama as time is running out and the world will end in less than 12 hours.
It's a story of a young man who is heading towards to the party to end all parties and he ends up rescuing a young girl along the way.
It's very graphic and sad as you know what will happen at the end of the film.
Good acting and a well written story.
I shall rate this flick a score of 7/10.

MANDRAKE
According to Norwegial folklore, if you picked up a mandrake root during full moon and fed it some drops of your blood, it would turn alive and form a special bond with it's owner. This homunculus creature served as a helping spirit and would do it's masters every bidding. But the ritual was hazardous however, because according to legend, the root would scream when dug up, killing everyone in hearing distance.
MONEY GIFT
The idea of giving a wallet, or purse with money in it, is to enforce the idea that it'll never be empty. Some people even go as far as to sew the coins into the lining of wallets, so if for some reason you do spend the coin that was given, then your wallet is still not empty.

NIGHT TEETH
I've just watched this real good Vampire action thriller film on Netflix.
It has a decent twist to the Vampire Mythos and I really loved the film, it had some decent action scenes and a splattering of bloody gore in this flick.
I don't actually know the cast list and the only famous actress (Megan Fox?) has a small 3 min cameo, but she's not worth it really. A good story helped and the visuals were quite nice, and nightlife of L.A. is interesting and scary at the same time.
I enjoyed this movie and I shall rate this film a score of 7/10.

THE KID WHO WOULD BE KING
Just finished watching this fantasy action adventure movie on Film4.
I do own the DVD, but it's a good film, so I've watched it on terrestrial to notice anything I might have missed.
It is a very damn good kids fantasy movie starring Patrick Stewart as Merlin and some famous offspring of other great actors.
The story is pretty decent as is the special effects.
It is written and directed by the great Joe Cornish.
It does have potential for a sequel but I don't think it will happen.
I will rate this film a score of 7/10.

WHO AM I?
I don't even get called by my name at all at home, I just get talked too. I've not actually heard my name of Jason spoken to me in a couple of years now. Sometimes I forget what my name really is.
Just call me The Forgotten One.
Just call me The Forgotten One.
YORKSHIRE BROOMS
In Yorkshire it was considered very ill to speak badly of your broom. This is because no-one could be sure if it might have been witch-ridden and if it had been the witch would likely look badly on anyone who criticised her steed.

PARALLEL
I've just finished watching this very intelligent Sci-Fi drama movie on Amazon Prime.
It is low budget with no big name cast but it is a very interesting story involving parallel realities and the dangers of exploiting technology and knowledge that does not belong to you or your reality.
It is a very good drama, and I have always been interested in parallel worlds and the Mandela Effect that people experience.
I shall rate this film a score of 7/10.

THE POSTCARD KILLINGS
Just finished watching this damn good American crime thriller on Amazon Prime.
Morgan plays a NYPD Detective who travels across Europe to hunt down the killers who murdered his daughter and son-in-law on their honeymoon in London.
He is helped by a German detective, a Swedish journalist, and a police task force from Belgium.
The acting and cast were brilliant, the scenery and location shoot was beautiful, the story was really good as it is based on a James Patterson novel of the same name.
The twists were quite good and I only figured out a couple of them before they were revealed.
I shall rate this movie a score of 9/10.

LITTLE MAN
My dad was like this, I use to be 6ft1 (before losing my legs) and my dad was 5ft9, but he always tried to convince people that he was taller and a bigger man than everyone else.
He even stood on the pavement kerb to try to look taller then me, but it never worked. He was a fragile little man with a fragile heart.

FORCE OF NATURE
I've just finished watching this fairly decent action thriller on Amazon Prime.
A pair of cops try to evacuate a group of people from a housing complex during a hurricane storm, including a retired cop (Mel Gibson) and a mysterious old man. And then a group of thieves storm the building to locate something worth a lot of money.
There is a lot of action, and gunplay in this movie which made it better than a B-Movie style action flick.
The acting was quite good, as was the action scenes.
I shall rate this film a score of 6/10.

WHISTLING IS DANGEROUS
Whistling while you work may be an issue in Lithuania where it's forbidden to whistle indoors because the noise is believed to summon demons.

THE HORDE
I've just finished watching this very action packed and gory French Zombie movie on Amazon Prime.
I actually don't know the cast but they did a very good job in their roles. The Zombies were of the fast running types which are not my favourites, but it suited the film really well.
Best way to describe this film is it's a cross between the Raid and the Sweeney with added dead people wanting to rip you apart.
You don't get to see how and why the undead come back, it just happens and I know some people don't like that and they want the answers spoon fed to them in every detail, but sometimes, you just have to accept it and go with the flow.
The cops, criminals, and civilians are all well rounded characters and are all morally grey.
I shall rate this flick a score of 8/10.
