Watched Captain Phillips the other night. It was probably a 6/10 Hanks very good in it as you'd expect but lot's of filler in places with Pirates shouting at eachother in African which got a bit annoying after a while. I've seen worse though!

Went to that myself a couple of weeks back and really enjoyed it. Definitely a show to be seen on the big screen. Didn't expect to be so engaged for over two hours and my heavily pregnant Mrs sat all the way through it which is saying something! Tom Hanks was excellent as usual! I'd strongly recommend it.
Who's a bit of a moaning Michael tonight!

Saw it last night and I would agree with that, very good.

I almost fell asleep in the cinema though not sure if was down to the film or fact i was knackered. Saw a Danish film Hijacking on same theme about two weeks before hand and preferred it. Perhaps had something to do with me thinking that Captain Phillips was far from brilliant.

If it is half as good as the original it will be worth watching.

Dog Soldiers on  TV tonight or tomorrow. Cracking horror film.

Watched Gravity in 3D last night and have to say it is absolutely awesome viewing at times. plot and characters are stripped down and its only about 90mins but for sheer visual impact its worth watching in the cinema.

Was a bit put off going in by Danny Ocean George Clooney and Miss Congeniality Sandra Bullock as NASA astronauts but really not an issue at all, its the spectacle of the events on screen that is to the fore.

the fact that its not really sci fi as its based on current tech/operations etc adds to the realism and therefore tension of it. Overall, it must be the most detailed, if not best depiction ever made of what its like to be in space (as in 2001 Kubrickesque level groundbreaking), fascinating for that aspect alone.

Really glad i seen it and would happily go again.

Went to the cinema last night, with 'Captain Phillips' on the agenda, but I let the wife choose, so the bland, boring and predictable 'Philomena' was the film of choice.

I was wrong. A fantastically funny, emotional, and heart breaking film. Definitely one for the ladies to go and see, and to the men you don't have to go kicking and screaming. It's actually very good. 8/10.

Watched American Graffiti last week, good show.  Watched Chinatown last week too, very good.  Serpico this week, only been laying in my room for 5 years.

Wasn't bad, but def more of a ladies one. About 5/10 from me.

Watched the Campaign recently. Terrible. We Are The Millers wasn't bad. The Heat has a few laughs.
