Title:  Good Will Hunting (1997)



Classification: PG
Running time: 2hours

Genre: Drama, Indie Film

Description: This is a film about Will Hunting, a mathematical genius, who decides not to push himself to the extent of what he is able to handle. That is until he is confronted by a professor at M.I.T, where Will works, and decides to help Will reach his potential. Will has had a dysfunctional upbringing in middle class slums. All of his friend are disadvantaged as well.

Review: Character development is extremely well done in this movie. It is through the characterisation of Will Hunting that explore how moments can help shape or prevent an understanding of belonging. The audience watch as Will has to lower the wall that he has built around him as a defence mechanism and allow someone to challenge him mentally and emotionally. The audience can resonate with the film through its themes of belonging, love and relationships.

Rating: 9/10

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

Title:  Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) Classification:  PG13 Running time:  2h 13min Genre:  Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi Description:  The Jedi have gone hiding and with the plans of a powerful weapon in the hands of the rising Imperial Empire, the Rebel Alliance makes some risky moves to try and steal the plans for the weapon known as the Death Star. Review:  Probably the best Star Wars film since ‘The Empire Strikes Back’, not only does this movie bridge the gap between episodes three and four but it also gives us a little realistic insight of how things went down when they weren’t dictated by who had the better lightsabre skills and how a little hope could save all that could be lost. The movie is also topped off with a cameo by the dark lord himself!

Title:  John Wick 2014 Classification: R Running time: 1h 41min Genre:  Action, Crime, Thriller Description:  The most feared ex-hitman is forced out of retirement to track down the son of a Russian mob who took everything from him. Keanu Reeves stars in this blood filled adventure which will have you asking for more and more action. Review: Although the movie lacks a solid plot line, the spectacular action choreography in this film definitely makes John Wick worth the watch. Not only does it highlight that actions do speak louder than words, this film does a solid job of showing how deadly a professional hit-man can be when there isn't any mercy or plot shields. Watch Keanu Reeves let all hell break when a Russian gangster does the unthinkable - kill his dog.
