Review of Childeren of Men

Description
Children of Men is an apocalypse movie, it is about all the women on the planet no longer being fertile and able to produce human life.  Theo, the main character, is contacted by an old friend and the "human project", a group of rebels trying to help for the common good.  After contacted and being abducted by the human project they propose an offer to him to escort the last pregnant women across state line, which has insurmountable consequences for the rebel forces.

The Graphics
A lot of special effects are used, stuntmen, small scale structure, artificial war zone, etc. Complete computer generated scenes are not typically used in movies such as these unless they deal with outrageous backdrops or something of the sort. The combat scenes are very well put together and orchestrated. Just about all the weapons in the movie are for show but it accurately displays the creativeness of Hollywood.

Plot
Theo is hired by the "Human Project" to deliver the last known pregnant women to a safe zone. He uses a number of contacts as well as an old friend who supplies bud to the local enforcement force that controls the rebel prison camps. In the end he comes in contact with a local that give him and the girl a boat to meet the human project on.

Review of Blood and Bone

Description
An ex convict that goes from a prison to the streets for a chance at street fighting in the underground.  Little does everyone know that the true reason for his fighting was for a friends family on the outside. He has to rise to the top to help his friends family. Along the way he, of course, meets a girl which makes the movie take a twist.

The Graphics
Not a whole lot of artificial screen work in this particular cinema, the majority of the movie is fighting and that's whats takes place. Most of the stunts and fights are done by the actors themselves, the only time something was truly faked was the that scene that James looses his hand in a sword fight with bone, which more or less ends the mutual respect between him and the high class crowd in the movies.

Plot
A promise made to a friend in prison to find his friends old family and help is wife. When perusing his promise he turns to a world of underground street fighting. He faces a number of difficult opponents which he captures all the victories with ease. The main obstacle in the movie is a massive fighter nick-named hammer man.
