Review:

A group of kids are filming a movie back in the late 70’s when they witness a crash between a pickup truck driven by their teacher and a train, which is derailed, but what happens afterwards sends the whole town into chaos. Whatever was on that train is making folks disappear, and that invokes a military response, even though the government says that there is nothing to be concerned about. That doesn’t sit well with the local Sheriff or his son, one of the group of children that saw the horrific accident. And the kids decide to take matters into their own hands to solve the mystery.

Review:

This is a tale of the relationship between a father Hal (Christopher Plummer) and his son Oliver (Ewan McGregor) and their strong bond that is broken when Hal dies of terminal cancer and Oliver is left to contemplate how life will go on without him. He relives the lives they shared, the good times and the bad, and the fact that his father was gay, even though he’d stayed married to his mother until she died. The loss had left him empty inside, but when he meets a French actress (Melanie Laurent), who has had just as much of a hard life, they use their shared tribulations to find new life in each other.

Review:

In what is a prequel to the other X-Men films, this tells the story of the origins of Professor X (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender), who are still friends in the 1960’s when the US is in the darkest part of the Cold War with Russia. But despite the friendship, they see the role of mutants in a very different way. Xavier sees a world where mutants live peacefully among the “normal” people, while Magneto sees a war brewing between those with powers and those without, something we see in the later films. But both come together when Dr. Schmidt (Kevin Bacon), an ex-Nazi scientist who wants to create a mutant army of killing machines and his assistant Emma Frost (January Jones) threatens to push both superpowers to the brink, leading to a missile crisis between the two nations. Knowing that they will need more than themselves to fight, the two forego their issues and search out a train a group of young mutants who can assist them in defeating Schmidt, who is now a sociopathic playboy named Sebastian Shaw in Las Vegas, where he is amassing his own violent mutants.
