Watched Mud before so watched Shotgun Stories last night which was also brilliant, so going to try and get through all the Jeff Nichols films so going for Take Shelter and Midnight Special next.

Watched the girl on the train the other night... worth a watch but nothing overly special. Not the most gripping thriller but still good

I thought it was f**king terrible. Book is meant to be a decent page turner but I was flat out bored with the movie.

Seen the 'accountant ' and have to say it was well worth the entry fee, good plot and a few turns, very enjoyable 8/10

The book is poor enough too.  Trying to be Patricia Highsmith and failing miserably.

Wasted 2 hours of my life watching Lobster. Original yes, shite - extremely.

I really enjoyed it .... I think black comedy is farrells forte

Looking forward to fantastic beasts and where to find them ..

Usually this time of year onwards you get the films that are Oscar contenders , last yr Leo and the revenant was already a dead cert but not sure this year .. Some talk around Martin Scorsese's silence
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

Sing Street

enjoyable


Saw it there at the weekend. Wasn't impressed by it at all.

Watched Where Eagles Dare again there recently. Still cannot work out all the doublecrossing etc and why the Germans were hellbent on running into Clint Eastwood's gunfire. Excellent stuff all the same.

Kellys Heroes and its remake Three Kings rewatched again. Brilliant stuff altogether.

Also Sausage Party which is mental.

Aristo 60

I enjoyed the  babadook over halloween. Scores really well on rotten tomatoes too.

Since last Christmas I have got it in my head that I have to see Where Eagles Dare and Kellys Heroes, have to get around to seeing them soon.

Where Eagles Dare is never off TCM. It was actually on the other night so dipped in for another 20 mins til the wife told me to turn it over. Perfect Sunday afternoon fare if you can get rid of the wains!

Good mental. I know so many people will hate it. The language is rough. C word used a lot. Also has a scene at end which you have to see to believe. The scene reminds me of a famous one in Team America.

Fired Sausage Party on for the two waines the other week as the wee boy's favourite food is sausages and he was excited about the film.  It was advertised before a kids film in the cinema one week too so I thought nothing off it until I came back into the room after twenty minutes and I couldn't believe the words being fired out.
