A couple of movies here, the first one I have seen before.
[hidden link - please register] This movie always breaks my heart every time I see it, Just finished watching it on Sky Movies. Its such a powerful film and the first movie I genuinely thought captured the horrors of the holocaust. This is also a reminder of just how easy it is for mankind to turn so evil if certain political parties are not kept in check. It goes without saying Schindler's List scores a 10/10 I was going to watch it last night on my nightshift but if you'll understand it might have been sort of awkward for me to be serving customers with a tear in my eye so I watched this one instead. [hidden link - please register] Western movies seem to be something of a rarity these days so when this came along it got my pulses racing  I thought it was a decent movie, not in the same league as the likes of Young Gun but it had enough action scenes to keep me happy  A rare treat in cinema these days - 8/10

Housebound (2014)
Kylie Bucknell is forced to return to the house she grew up in when the court places her on home detention. Her punishment is made all the more unbearable by the fact she has to live there with her mother Miriam - a well-intentioned blabbermouth who's convinced that the house is haunted. Kylie dismisses Miriam's superstitions as nothing more than a distraction from a life occupied by boiled vegetables & small-town gossip. However, when she too becomes privy to unsettling whispers & strange bumps in the night, she begins to wonder whether she's inherited her overactive imagination, or if the house is in fact possessed by a hostile spirit who's less than happy about the new living arrangement. Another good horror/comedy from New Zealand 7/10 |

Spotlight (2015) - The true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.
Awesome movie! I won't write up any review as it's best to know as little as possible about this movie. Great performances from all the cast, with a pretty damn disgusting and disturbing story. 8/10 |

Okay so if you can look past the fact this movie is far too similar to Misery and has been subject to rip off claims and judge it based on how you actually find the film you'll actually really get into this one. I feel somebody has to defend this movie. I watched it to the other night despite it only making a 1 out of 5 rating and was pleasantly surprised as it had me gripped from the word go. I'll be honest here I've never ever rated Kate Bosworth much as an actress with her awful performance as Lois Lane in Superman Returns still haunting me but in this movie I thought she delivered a truly epic showing and as vilians go I thought she did a good job. I'm going to give this movie 7/10

Les Lyonnais (2011)
