This is a short, 22-minute LEGO spin-off of Guardians of the Galaxy. The Guardians have stolen a build stone from the Ravagers, who have stolen the stone from Thanos. Thanos tries to take the build stone back so he can build a "BLT" - A Big Laser Thingy so he can accomplish his dream of wiping out half the universe's population. The animators have captured the personalities of the Guardians but reproduced them in a LEGO format, complete with LEGO-movie style humour. It's fun, it's straight to the point, with simple plot and some laughs along the way. Great fun for the family. 7/10.

This little known film is about the little known true story of the Rainbow Warrior Greenpeace ship, which was bombed and sunk in 1985, killing one crew member off the coast of New Zealand. The movie is creatively filmed, interspersed with actual historical footage and brilliant acting. I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more recognition. A great historical feature that highlights the power imbalance between the state and ordinary people and asks the question of whether a government can truly get away with murder. Although the focus is on Greenpeace, the film doesn't try to push a political agenda, instead focusing on the tragedy of the Rainbow Warrior. 7/10.

The only redeeming quality of this movie is the acting. There are some great actors / actresses in this movie and they seem to have been mistakenly sucked into doing this terrible film about being lost in a haunted grass field. Or is it haunted? We never really find out what's the driving force behind this mysterious grass field in the middle of nowhere. The plot is nonsensical and has every element of random, gross themes thrown in just to mess with you but adds nothing of substance to the movie. I'm disappointed because I thought this had potential being based on a Stephen King novella and I generally love horror. But this was just bad all around and if it wasn't for the acting, I would give this a 1/10 star (zero not being an option).
