Money Monster

Financial TV host Lee Gates and his producer Patty are put in an extreme situation when an irate investor takes over their studio.

The classic inner city thriller, it reminded me of phone booth taken up a notch, this was an excellent dramatic tale of desperation, money and corporate lies. I really enjoyed this movie, it really gives some perspective on what financial disparity can lead people to do in extreme situations.

War Dogs

Based on the true story of two young men, David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, who won a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America's allies in Afghanistan.

I was very happy with my decision to watch this film, I felt the story was well thought out and told very well. Good bits of humour mixed in really made for an enjoyable story on what could be a very serious theme.

Lights Out

When her little brother, Martin, experiences the same events that once tested her sanity, Rebecca works to unlock the truth behind the terror, which brings her face to face with an entity that has an attachment to their mother, Sophie.

I went in knowing very little about this film and found it to be a little all over the place jumping between family disputes and the entity hunting Sophie. Overall though I found it to be good at keeping me on edge and excited for what happens next.The use of colour and light in this film was very good too with so many mono-colour shots.

Suicide Squad

A secret government agency recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions in exchange for clemency.

I really liked this movie, beautful cinamatography and very colourful, a very nice change from many other action movies. Characters were very interesting and thought provoking as was the story.
