I watched two films recently:

The Martian: I thought it was pretty good, enjoyable enough show without being too taxing.7/10

Jobs: I was a bit disappointed in this. it was OK, but didn't really grab the interest the way it should as someone who has recently finished the Jobs biography. 5/10

Saw The Martian at the weekend. Very enjoyable!

Didn't really like The Martian at all. It was OK but I was expecting more.

Solace - Anthony Hopkins. Average enough crime thriller 6.3/10

Hearing very differing views about the Revenant. A lot of people saying it's shit.

The Iceman

Watched "Room" at the end of last week. 6/10. Very harrowing content. First hour was edge of the seat stuff then the second hour was a let down.  Subject definitely weighs down on you.

seen it, disappointed with it. Visually it is excellent, but just a decent to good movie, nothing more. Both Hardy & De Capio are excellent.

I'd compare the Revenant to Gravity from a few years ago. Absolutely stunning looking and the scale of the thing is enormous but a but weak on the story and the script that tells it.

DiCaprio was unreal in it again. Up there as one of my favourite actors.

The revenant is shite. Frontier man seeks revenge against person who murders his family. Imagine in your head where that story goes and you've seen the film and saved an hour of your time. He's an outstanding actor but don't see what DiCaprio does well in it. Grunting for 2 hours isn't acting.

IMO any film that involves you escaping your pursuers by jumping in a river should be immediately discarded. It's the greatest cliche in film making and it looks like that director hasn't a original idea in his head. That's not even mentioning the Han Solo scene.

The trailer for The Revenant gives away the story anyway so just watch it saved me 2 hours of my time.

Thought creed was excellent and southpaw was a big dissapointment.

Spectre in my opinion never really got going, could have been great. It got alot of praise but to be honest I'm unsure why.
