Bridge of Spies
Film Summary: During the Cold War, the Soviet Union captures U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers after shooting down his U-2 spy plane. Sentenced to 10 years in prison, Powers’ only hope is New York lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks), recruited by a CIA operative to negotiate his release. Donovan boards a plane to Berlin, hoping to win the young man’s freedom through a prisoner exchange. If all goes well, the Russians would get Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance), the convicted spy who Donovan defended in court.
Storyline: 8/10 – great story and based in a real world that we still remember
Graphics: 8/10 – great moments and mood as you’d expect from a master
Casting: 7/10 – there’s only a few castings that grated, or perhaps weaker acting.. but generally spot on. the leads are truly on form.
Overall.. 8/10 – definitely one to watch

Standing Desks.. Bekant
Well the standing desks movement has been growing for some time. Anyone that’s worked in an office for some time at a computer, knows the horror of that lower back twinge..
Ikea have brought out Bekant.. which makes it available for less than the price of a limb.. and it’s a beautiful piece of engineering..
We’ve just installed one and it’s already changing how we check an email.. the days of fully open plan and playful working are coming..
Call of Duty – Advanced Warfare
Call of Duty has been around as a game for a while, but the launch of Call of Duty – Advanced Warfare combined with the momentum of PS4 and XBox means that this Xmas will open up a whole new world of gaming and points at the future of entertainment.
The Game produced with a larger budget than many movies, and with a more profitable business model points to the future.
The Game itself is awesome.. well if you’re able to see it for what it is.. a mix of simulation, experience and interactivity.
There is also a lot to be said to the future it is pointing at.. we live now in 2014.. in a world of drones, of robots, or remote AI. The inclusion of Kevin Spacey – albeit mainly his voice – and for those of us who love House of Cards.. and we do hear it at FreshAndOnPoint – both the original and the Netflix Reboot.. well it’s all a bit too close to comfort… which makes for a compelling storyline..
We’ve come a long way from Metal Gear Solid.. and that first move into the holographic world.. that we pointed at last year..
So.. check out the graphics and fluidity of millions of players.. and think about what’s coming..
