'Little Monsters'

Had loads of fun with this one this afternoon. The Aussies make GREAT films.

 

A kindergarten teacher and her male admirer protect a class of 5 years olds trapped in a petting zoo during yet another zombie apocalypse. I giggled all the way through. 

There's a very lovely (Neil Diamond) 'Sweet Caroline' scene, and I bet when Taylor Swift wrote 'Shake It Off' she never envisaged its use for fending off the undead. 

It's on Sky Cinema and worth an hour and a half of anyone's time.

An easy 9/10

I liked this as well, the Zombie makeup for a comedy film is excellent too.

The Trial of the Chicago 7

 

9/10

 

This is a great depiction of a not very well known story. It’s well written and very well acted, with a few humorous moments to lighten what is actually a really serious story.

 

Really enjoyed it.

 

Agreed and same rating for me too. Great cast and surprisingly funny.

I hope the part where the Judge ordered the Black Guy to be beaten, chained and gagged  was fitcion  rather than fact,  if true  I hope the Judge was severly reprimanded/sacked whatever,  it was disgusting. I remember seeing these protest at the time, so it was a good insight to the aftermath, Great film tho.

Burden  8/10

 

The true story of Mike Burden, brought up by the KKK.

Well acted, compelling, emotional and sadly still all too relevant today.

Just watched a film called Trafficked on Prime, it’s not a great film but it’s based on a true story and real people. 
Millions are trafficked to be used as sex slaves, 100,000 living in the US alone.
The average age of entering the sex trade is 14.

Absolutely shocking.

 

6/10

I think that part of the film is based upon what Bobby Seale's said happened to him and from the court transcripts. It  was apparently worse than what was shown on screen as the judge had him chained and gagged in the court room for several days.

Alone (2020 movie)

8/10

 

I really got stuck into this from the set go as it had the right blend to keep you 👀.

 

A woman recently widowed, is making a long journey  to her folks place- but is constantly bumping into a strange man who seems to be pursuing her.

 

What transpires is a game of survival.

Ive been wanting to watch this, it’s a remake of ‘Gone’ from 2011.

I think if its the one with Amanda Seyfield, that was 2012 and story isn't a remake, but may have some similar tones.

 

This one has good reviews compared to the above.
