Plot wasn't as good as the previous seasons .. But filming is amazing
Love that series! :D

I just watched The Final Break (A Prison Break movie set after season 4) and loved it, although I wanted to cry at the end.

The last movie I watched was a revival of a very old film - "Gone With The Wind". I watched it because I have read the book by Margaret Mitchell. The film was multi-awarded abd I found out that the movie did not differ much from the book. It portrayed Scarlet O Hara as a strong and ruthless woman who stopped at nothing in order to survive. The movie can portray this but only the book can describe her innermost thoughts, her feelings, her frustrations and desires. This is where the book is superior to the movie.

I saw Devil today at the cinema and i thought it was great, thoroughly enjoyed it, there was a lot riding on this movie as far as M Night Shamylan was concerned as his last few movies were critically mauled but this movie was more than adequate; for those not familiar with the plot, its a movie about 5 strangers trapped in a life and one of them is the Devil, but we wont find who (or indeed why) until the end and its full of suspense and plot twists and that cloying tension that comes with a confined space, a few scenes that are genuinely scary, too.

I rate it 7.5 out of 10.

Wonder Woman

8 out of 10 stars

It's been a few weeks since I last saw a movie at the theater but the last movie I saw was Emma Watson's Beauty and the Beast. I don't think I need to give a synopsis of that and anything I could add that people may not already know would be spoilers.

I absolutely loved that movie! I may make some enemies by saying this but I think there's a strong argument that it's even better than Disney's original animated version. (That's saying something because I adore that movie and Belle has always been one of my idols.) It's on DVD/Blu-ray now, and I highly recommend watching it.

I give it a 9 out of 10, only because nothing is ever "perfect."

The last movie I saw was "Cars 3" with my family. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not only entertaining to watch but a bit emotional as well. I would definitely recommend it if you like the Cars series and feel-good movies. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Beauty and The Beast............. Another wonderful Disney rendition. 4 out of 4 stars. A musical delight.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

Last one I saw was Don't Breathe with family. I'd rate it a 6 or 7/10. It did have some unpleasant and cringe-worthy moments, based off of some of the content in certain scenes.

Last Friday I went to the cinema to watch "Everything Everything", the picture quality was amazing! The characters were appealing, I just hated how predictable it was... So I give it a 3 out of 4.
