A thriller packed with action but also causes the viewer to make moral decisions.

This is a film based on modern war, without combat as of such, but battle with controls and technology (especially military drones). The film follows the tracking of terrorists, but innocent civilians stand in the way. It keeps the audience flitting between who is good and evil, and we judge, as the audience, who holds the responsibility of deaths.

Overall, a brilliant, well thought out film that is filled with suspense, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. It challenges our personal and social morals.

The most I have laughed at a film in ages! A recent trip with my best friends was so much fun as we decided to go and see the brand new comedy How To Be Single.

A bar in the heart of New York is a buzz with different characters! A new-found independent, a full-on party girl, a controlling workaholic and many others.

The popularity of this comedy is the fact that it dabs into realistic dating dilemmas, with the exaggerated lives of single women. There are ups and downs in relationships and friendships that create humour but also bonds with the characters.

It's not really a guide to How to be Single, but it is certainly a fun and lighthearted movie for any young woman looking for a laugh.

What a film!

This Oscar nominated spectacular movie was such an amazing film! Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar Nominated performance was brilliant and the cinematography was breath-taking - and fans believe this could his chance to finally win a well earned Oscar!

The Revenant follows a semi-factual story of Hugh Glass, a fur-trapper in the early 1800s America, who is left behind from his group of fellow men to die in the harsh and extreme environment - after being brutally attacked and mauled by a grizzly bear.

It is a film about vengeance for the ringleader who left him to die, and Glass' determination to seek safety in an American settlement. The true emotions are crystal clear and Leonardo DiCaprio's acting creates a transparent character as we can see Hugh Glass' deep feelings and we feel great empathy throughout the film.

*Warning! If you are of a nervous disposition - look away now*
The Revenant is certainly not for those of you who are of a delicate disposition as many scenes contain brutal and graphic battles against Mother Nature. The film showcases the resilience of mankind.

Overall, this is an incredibly breath-taking film that is worthy of its sweep across the film awards scene. The rough and raw imagery and scenery creates an unforgettable movie experience. I truly believe this could one of the best moments in Leonardo DiCaprio's career!
