Hardcore Henry

Henry is resurrected from death with no memory, and he must save his wife from a telekinetic warlord with a plan to bio-engineer soldiers. Hardcore Henry is a rather unique FPS game meets Hollywood – apart from the fact that it’s made in Russia, but with English speaking actors. (Sharlto Copley, Danila Kozlovsky, Tim Roth, Haley Bennett to mention a few. Directed and script by Ilya Naishuller) The movie starts with our...

The Brothers Grimsby

Ali G and Borat goes to 11… The Brothers Grimsby and the character Nobby is the latest alter-ego by Sacha Baron Cohen – and this time he’s taken rude to a whole new level! I’m not easily affected by rude language or explicit scenes, but this movie even made me cringe more than once by the extremely rude scenes in this movie – and the trailers had shown nothing of this so I saw it with the boys, whom both...
