The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

A (quite obviously) exaggerated version of what occurred during WWII, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare gives us Henry Cavill as the rough-and-ready Major Gus March-Phillipps chosen to lead a suicide mission in neutral Spanish territory on a mission designed to relinquish Nazi U-boat control of the Atlantic Ocean. There’s something quite fun about Cavill playing the man who most believe Ian Fleming modeled James Bond after even if the actor never gets a chance to play 007.

Spider-Man 2

With Sony’s rerelease each of the Spider-Man movies, we turn back to the clock two decades to 2004 and the film that set the standard for a live-action Spider-Man movie which swings back into theaters this Monday.

Alex Rider - Recruit

Keeping an open mind, for now, and hoping to learn information about Invisible Sword, Alex (Otto Farrant) begins his training with SCORPIA. He meets the other recruits who brutally attack Alex as an attempt to soften him up and drive any weakness or mercy out of him. Gregorvich (Thomas Levin) and Nile (Jason Wong) offer similar advice and teaching, pushing Alex to remove compassion from the work that is to follow. Eventually Alex proves himself without stooping to the methods of the other soldiers, winning a contest in the maze below the compound and his first assignment for SCORPIA.

Spider-Man

Part of Sony’s plan to rerelease each of the Spider-Man movies over a series of weeks, Spider-Man returns to theaters for the first time in over two decades.

The origin story sticks close to the character’s comic history with the nerdy Peter being bitten by a radioactive spider and gaining new abilities he will need to learn to use responsibly.
