The Iceman

American Assassin - lots of action, predicatable story but watchable nonetheless 6/10

Mountain between us - watched it with the Mrs - it was alright passed a bit of time - 4/10

Allied - great show, very surprised by it wasn't expecting it to be as good - 7/10

I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

Been out now for a couple of years but only got round to watching Black Mass , very enjoyable film, I  had thought Johnny Depp was an odd choice to play Whitey Bulger but  he was superb in it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in here before but watched Bad Day For The Cut last night on Netflix. Thought it was a great watch. Don't know how it didn't make it into cinemas here when it was released.  Anyone else seen it?

Watched Killing them Softly. Decent. Great cast and performances. Maybe a bit too script heavy.

Watched Lady Bird after all the Ronan Oscar talk. She's very good in it but the movie is a load of shite. Granted I'm not and never was a teenage girl but I just didn't get it.

I put it on the other night and came to the same conclusions, she played her role absolutely brilliantly but I didn't see the point of the film at all. Instantly forgettable..

Open house -  good build up of suspense,  crap ending.  5/10

Thor Ragnorok -  Some craic,  good soundtrack and really good fun.  8/10

Hacksaw ridge -  good show,  what a man.   Powerful real interviews at the end.  Didnt think I'd enjoy it.  8.5/10

Acts of Violence -  Starts of a bit slow, trys to be like taken for a bit.  Alright watch but feels like a pro gun movie by the NRA.  6/10

Up The Middle

Watched Mollys Game over the weekend. 9/10.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Watched a few films this week that I had meant to get around to over the years.

The Abyss - average enough.

2001 Space Odyssey - terrible.

Watched Coco yesterday  - 9/10  , brilliant animation and an  emotional  ending that  really pulled at the heartstrings

Have you watched Home?  Talk about tears.

You're the 3rd person to mention that film over the weekend. Every one has the same recommendation.

Thor is excellent- Verges more towards comedy than superhero genre. It's one the whole family can watch I'd suggest even if they don't like Marvel etc. I don't like Goldblum normally, but I thought his character was very good.

Cardboard Gangsters is a decent watch.
