Title: 21 Jump Street (2012) Age requirement:   R18+ Running time: 1h 50min Genre: Action, Comedy, Crime Description: When former high school enemies become a pair of underachieving cops, they are sent back to a local high school as undercover cops to pose as high school students with the hopes to bring down a synthetic drug ring dealing something known as H.F.S. Review: 21 Jump Street was definitely an unexpected surprise for most people; becoming one of the funniest films of 2012 it accurately portrays modern day high school as well as a rough idea of what happens when you put two of the most immature cops on a mission there. Being a reboot of the late-eighties TV show that made Johnny Depp famous, now starring faces such Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, this action comedy will provide a playful spark and will have you laughing on your seat.

Title:   Get Out (2017) Classification: R18+ Running time: 1h 44min Genre: Horror, Mystery Description: When it’s time for a young African American man to meet his white girlfriend’s parent’s estate for a weekend deep into the woods, he becomes trapped in a more sinister plot that later transforms itself into a nightmare. Review: Get out is a thought-provoking unorthodox horror-thriller that could now see itself as a game changer for the genre as it proves you don’t need guns, clowns or ghosts to keep people on the edge of their seat. Not only is Get Out a great films as well as debut feature for its director Jordan Peele, the movie also illustrates cunning ideas about racial alienation as well as provides a thoughtful, compassionate look at race.

Title: Logan (2017) Classification: R18+ Running time: 2h 17min Genre: Action, Drama, Sci-Fi Description: In a distant future where mutants are extinct, a frail Logan and unpredictable Professor X’s plan to hide away from a world they once called home is spoilt when a young mutant finds her way to their doorstep, pursued by immoral forces. Review: With a much darker tone compared to previous X-Men movies, director James Mangold gives us the Logan movie Wolverine deserves. A mixture of bloodshed and beauty, this superhero movie creates a dystopian feeling unlike most action packed superhero movies that helps the audience connect with the Logan on an emotional level which will leave many people confused as to whether they’re glad or sad the much beloved character is getting the death he has always wanted.

The Godfather (Part 1) Age: 15+ Genre: Crime and Drama Running time: 2.5 hours (approx) Rating: 9/10 This film is the first of a sequel of films based on the Corleone family, who are a New York organised crime family. The film, whilst having a long running time, is incredibly captivating for the audience from start to finish. The film is more than a story about gangsters, it contains themes of love, betrayal, family and belonging. Interestingly, the film presents the gangster family's perspective of the Mafia, instead of providing the view from an outside. Because of this, the viewer throughout the film often forgets the crime the family commits and instead sympathises with them as they face threat from other gangster family's. This film is definitely one to watch! Andrew Antoun (Image: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ktt67mGRGOPTA2WJDhCtNEsI_ewdwR1sbw8_71_en_Xl03ZVtUiWpnqoVrhIAfqdtXU=w300)
