Back to Berlin(2018)
A documentary from Catherine Lurie and narrated by Jason Isaacs that follows a group of Jewish bikers as they ride from Tel Aviv to Berlin for the 2015 Maccabi Games.Incredibly emotional scenes ensue as the riders share stories and attempt to connect with their ancestors amidst all the heartbreaking archive footage.
8.5/10

Anna and the Apocalypse (2018)
Kind of like a cross between Shaun of the Dead and High School Musical that somehow manages to work,for the most part anyway.The story takes place in Scotland during a zombie outbreak as Anna played brilliantly by Ella Hunt,along with her friends sing and dance through the horrors of being besieged by the undead.It drags towards the end but the plucky heroine character is worth the investment as is the headmaster played by Paul Kaye.
6.5/10

RE: Last film you watched
After recently watching bits of "Justice League", "Batman : The Dark Knight Rises" and some other pointless Superman remake, it left me idly wondering about the economics of these comic universes and how on earth anybody ordinary in these cities is supposed to be able to get a mortgage or homes and contents insurance : the collateral damage inflicted by these superhero guardians is wantonly over-the-top.
Yet film after film, the skyscrapers are miraculously resurrected shiny and new, ready for the next catastrophic battering. When by rights they should be being shown getting progressively more and more devastated and uninhabitable film after film.
How on earth is this managed ?
Presumably the superheroes have some contractual obligation to rebuild everything double-quick time between galactic emergencies as compensation ?
