Very moving.

The 'baked beans', 'sex worker' and 'funeral' scenes.

 

La La land - a yawn
Lion - Not my cup of tea
Fences- again not my cup of tea
Moana- Brilliant if you have kids they will love it
Hidden Numbers - Great story and brought to the screen by Clint Eastwood . Brilliant
Hell or High water - Unmissable
Abandoned- True survival story of a crew on an up turned catamaran . Worth a watch
I Daniel Blake - A heart wrenching movie .Sad very sad.
Arrival- It didn't do it for me
Passengers-It could have been so much better
Manchester by the sea - Depressingly awful

 

Logan is incredible

 

Useful

Is Arrival that bad ? Quite fancied that.

Cant be doing with anything depressing or involving tears. lol

 

It's ok for something to watch but nothing more than that.

 

I thought it was good - clever concept - it's not a bad film at all and quite uplifting.

 

Logan is really good.

 

Watched 'A Street Cat Named Bob' the other night, good film.

 

Watched hacksaw ridge last night. Best film ive wayched in ages

 

Agree, epic film

 

A third vote for Hacksaw Ridge, a very enjoyable film. Even my wife liked it and she usually hates war films.

I liked Girl with all the gifts. I'm not a horror fan but this was an original take on the zombie genre.

Don't breathe was also good

 

Olympus and london have fallen. Both pretty good action films.

John wick was ok.

Want to see logan

 

Yes, a very thought provoking film hence my reviewed scoring for it has extended to 9/10.

People who slag off state benefit supported (or trying to be) single, pram pushing young mothers and older disabled folk with hidden disabilities should watch it. They may learn something.

Haven't been able to watch 'Lion' but will do, one day.

Still feeling quite ecstatic that I eventually bothered to watch the 'Life of Pi'. I would have regretted as a floating spirit had I not watched it in my life time.

Been watching the 'Stories from Rabindranath Tagore' on Netflix on occasions, and the new Broadchurch on TV. Tagore stories are fantastic! Not for the ones that aren't interested in other cultures and foreign poetic literature. It's not foreign to me, so I enjoy watching it. New Broadchurch is very good. Hayley from Corrie is doing a damn good job in it.

Back to films, searching for something half-good to watch on Netflix. Will post a review, once found and seen.

 

Really? dear oh dear, absolutely sh1te film imo.

 

Equaliser just started on five star. Ive seen it about 3 times now.lol. Think its great

 

Enjoyed it.But think Private Ryan still beats it

 

SPR is seminal. A watershed.

It's the 'The Matrix' of the war genre.

 

Agreed !

Quite fancy that baby driver film and wonder woman trailer looks quite good

 

"baby driver"?

He's all right in that impreza!

 

War machine with Brad Pitt.
cracking film and actually hilarious at times.

 

Recently:-

Alien Covenant - I'll forgive anything Alien related because Alien. Helps to resolve some issues from Prometheus and at the same time leave you asking a bunch more. "Kenny Powers in Space"

The Great Wall - Mat Damon and the guy from Narcos help the Chinese fight off scaled dog thingies. Woeful.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - if you liked the first, you'll like the 2nd. I enjoyed it and genuinely funny in places. Good fun.

Logan - much closer to how grown ups would want a Marvel film. Actually found the use of the F word was over-done. Without dropping a spoiler - Should have had Liev Schreiber reprise his role - would have been truly epic. First Class

 

Just watched Life of Pi......again.

Great!

 

See in the trailer 'Fox on the run' on the soundtrack. That's good enough for me

 

Watched the aforementioned Starred Up yesterday. Awesome.


Then The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Unknown... Both a bit meh, TBH.

 

...Will be viewing Rogue One later.

 

watched once upon a time in venice last night. pretty funny offbeat movie with bruce willis as a private detective who ends up in a lot of funny situations. def worth a watch.

 

It would be so helpful if you peeps could say where film was e.g. Netflix, Amazon, Sky Cinema, You Tube.

Also a description in just a few words e.g US Court Room Drama, Clint with Magnum etc etc

RUSTOM (Netflix IIRC) Indian military corruption and court room. Very stylish film

David

 

would rather catch food poisoning than have to watch 'the arrival' again.

 

the monuments men is a good film.
