    The creator Charlie Brooker has gone back to the 80s in order to bring us into the 21st century of television, in this tv show you the viewer get to decide the choices the main character Stefan Butler (Fionn Whitehead) makes, by using your remote control you literally decide what the outcome will be for the main character . This show is based on the early 80s text based video games were the player decided the outcome of the character they were playing by being given a set of choices to choose from. In the Bandersnatch Stefan is a creator of such a game and through the choices you make for him his story is played out. The second lead role is Colin Ritman played by Will Poulter he too is a computer game designer through the show he would give the impression that he knows what is going on. Colin is a fantastic character and played brilliantly by Will. This is a very serial way of watching TV and for anyone that is aware of Charlie Brooker and his previous TV series Black Mirr...

The Guilty

Image
  In this movie Jake Gyllenhaal plays the part of a police detective, that has been assigned to the duty's of a 911 operator its not quite known early on in the movie why he has been assigned these duty's, but you do know that he is under investigation for something he has done. It is when he receives an unusual call from a distressed woman that the movie starts to go down a dark path it is clear from the start that he seems to be going above the call of duty of a 911 operator in order to help the woman however all is not what it seems with his caller. This is a great movie for all fans of mystery and drama. I give this movie 3.5 stars not a huge cast in this movie but any fans of Jakes will be glad to hear that he plays an exceptional role in this movie.

Papillon

Image
This is the true story about a safe cracker Henri Papillon played by Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) who is convicted of murder in Paris in 1931 and sent to colonel French Guiana to face is sentence it is while traveling on the ship he finds himself forming a friendship with an upper class counterfeiter Louis Dega played by Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody and James Bonds no time to Die). The story follows the journey the two men take whilst in prison where they meet some more unsavory characters. It is difficult to go into too much detail about this movie without spoiling some of the story line all I can say  this movie shows how fragile the human mind is and how hardened human beings can become when faced with a life or death situation. By the end of this movie I could not help but feel admiration for Henri as in his story he tells of how far he is willing to go in order to become a free man again. For those of you who are lovers of movies about real life events or Bios then this i...
