Antiviral - 6.2 : iMDB

I have no idea where this film came from, probably the same list as Home Run, as it seems in the same ilk.  iMDB treats this horribly - giving it a 5.5, and some of the reviews that follow put that to question, and I probably have to agree with the reviews, as there's more to it than just a slightly disturbing overture.

It's set in the future and handles a tricky subject, and I suppose in a way is a little gory.  I explained the concept to someone without them watching the film, and they struggled for any other reaction than "eww".

I think there's quite something to this movie, and if you're going to watch it (I'm not saying you should), then only do so if you like thinking about films, and have the time to focus on it.  Don't be put off by the blood.

This one gets a 6.2, and could possibly have been higher but with people whizzing around my head all day I couldn't really focus on it too much.

Home Run - 6.7 : iMDB

I found a list somewhere.. (I really need to save these lists!) of the best limited release films of 2013 to watch, and this was on it.

I struggled to get in to the start of this film, the audio was pretty tiny like a lot of limited releases, but gradually as the film went on I grew in to it.  It's quite a nice little story, and there's some quite good acting and some dreadful acting.

Feel good, but not amazing, gets a 6.7!

Shooter - 7.2 : iMDB

I watched this a long time ago, and didn't think much of it, but then I watch a lot of films, and sometimes never really switch on to them...so when people tell me to rewatch things, and when I find out I hadn't even noticed that Michael Pena was in it, I figured i'd give it another go!

Now Michael Pena is one of those guys that could go on to do some really great things, and I think he's been showing that potential for a while, and he's in my 2013 top 5.  In this, he's really good, and it's 5 years ago - so again, no idea what I was thinking when I watched it the first time!

The film itself is a simple concept, put together quite nicely, and once you get over the fact it's Wahlberg of old, even he actually plays quite a good part in this film, and I have to say I quite enjoyed it.

I've given it 7.2, very near the IMDb score of 7.1!

Sound City - 8 : iMDB

I knew there was one i'd forgotten about on the plane!

I didn't have any idea what to expect with this, and it's another music documentary, but this time put together by Dave Grohl, who by all accounts, is insanely talented.

I'm not going to say too much about this film, but it's a story of the importance of music and sound above all, and how Grohl has tried to bring together the influences on not only his life but music as a whole to make an album.  Which i'm yet to listen to!

So while i'm off finding the album, go ahead and watch this belter, which gets an 8!
