Belfast was OK, getting hyped due to it being about Branagh and the troubles, shot in black and white and having Judi Dench in it. Her accent was terrible too.

I thought the new matrix was good, far better than the second and third ones.

Can't remember much about There Will Be Blood Now, but remember thinking it was excellent when I watched it.

I was the same with the matrix films. 2&3 struggled. But this was better and some good throw backs.

Watched the Resident Evil reboot as well. Really liked it as was expecting the worst!!

Milltown Row2

Watched The Father with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, hard to describe the emotions this film puts you through, Hopkins is brilliant and Olivia Colman superb as his daughter.

Heard it's very good and Hopkins gives a masterclass but  I can't watch sad films in my old age now. Same with that show Afterlife with Ricky Gervais. Looks good but would put me on a complete downer.

I know what you me a Jim, but definitely give Afterlife a go. Uplifting as well as heartbreaking!

Thought that last series of Afterlife was average enough.

Average but it hit a few moments where I really felt sore

Nightride, filmed in Belfast and focused on mainly one character in his car - thought it was brilliant. Far better than Locke.

Captain Obvious

The new Batman movie is similar to Se7en.

Jell 0 Biafra

The Courier, with your man with the funny looking face and the weird name is very good.  Cold war spy movie. Not usually my thing, but a good story, very well acted and scripted.

Main Street

The Courier, film about the Brit businessman in Havana?

Jell 0 Biafra

Yeah, though he was a British businessman in USSR.  Benedict Cumberbatch the bloke whose name I couldn't remember last night.

Main Street

Not Havana  but Moscow,  it's an excellent film.
There's an equivalent genre film, french (with subtitles of course), called  Farewell. It's a bit later ( mid 80's)  a true 'defector' story  in the Reagan years, that somehow managed to save us from Soviet annihilation  despite western intelligence doing their best to mangle the intelligence.

Hound

Anyone recommend the Power of Dog?

I thought Don't Look Up was dreadful. The first half particularly bad. A few laughs in the second half.
