3 Billboards is some movie, excellent stuff.

Winchester. Worth seeing, but not worth going to see. I live near that mansion and was excited to see a film about it, but was a little disappointed.

Thor Ragnorok is very easy watching but maybe went a bit too much of a spoof. Also watched Hacksaw Ridge. Excellent. In a way didn't want to like it because of Gibson but it's so well acted and directed.

Lady Bird is such a well-made movie, the writing, the directing and the performances. It has young people talking and emoting like young people, which is rare for a coming-of-age film, but just about every character feels like a real person with human reactions rather than simply walking plot devices. It took a well-worn story and made it feel vibrant by simply executing its vision so well. And it's the director/writer's debut film, which really marks her out as someone to watch for in the future.

Saoirse Ronan has became an incredible actress and she's always represented her country and her people brilliantly. I hope she wins the Oscar this weekend.

Frances McDormand looks odds on to win before Saoirse on Sunday but as you say only a matter of time before she does win a Oscar

Just finished watching LadyBird. There's an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back. Load of shite.

Haven't seen Lady Bird but would concur on the other 2 scores.

[Last Man]

'Pride' a film on Netflix's about Gay men and lesbian support for the striking miners in 84. Decent wee film for a winters afternoon.

Looks shit. Tempted to watch the shape of water but could also be a waste of time.

Anyone else hate superhero films to the point where you refuse to watch even the well received ones?

Or is that just me?
