Saw Creed, was better than I expected.
I have Creed, southpaw and Spectre all lined up to watch next

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.

I enjoyed it, but Bellew?!

Aye true enough tried to ignore him as he was pretty embarrassing I guess but it was more the story that was good, saw Stallone and the other Michael B Jordan were on the Jonathan Ross show promoting it and were really funny especially stallone, the video he showed where he set the fella up Jordan to get knocked out by Bellew was harsh but funny.

Agree on Creed and Southpaw, but thought Spectre was very good.

Solace is next on my list.

Saw The Revenant last night. I enjoyed it - 7.5/10 for me.

As previously mentioned the storyline is a bit so so but visually it is outstanding!

Hateful Eight 7/10. Fairly enjoyable until it got weird!

No music either, can't recall of django had a soundtrack but thought that was kinda weird

Are you sure? I havent seen it but I think it won a Golden Globe for best original soundtrack or something like that and I recall talk about Ennio Morricone being involved in the score.

Watched solace last night.  Thought it was shite.  Poor script, some dodgy acting and bad lines.  Anthony Hopkins done his best, but even he couldn't save it.  3/10

Jesus that's nuts. You're right. I recall the music at the opening scene and after that don't recall any of it! Maybe the IPA didn't help.

Great movie.

Main Street

For those who liked the tv drama  Deutchland 83  and need another fix of  Stasi infected East Germany,  peeling brown paint, instant coffee, the reassuring rattle of a Wartburg engine etc. then Barbara (2013) is a most satisfying watch.

By now, probably most would have seen the acclaimed Lives Of Others, whereas Barbara is a film which is under the radar and needs a well deserved plug.

I just couldnt get on board with The Revenant, I think it tried too hard.

Some great cinematographer granted but this alone doesnt make the film.
