I watched Ready Player One at the weekend and was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Good show. I watched Full Metal Jacket 2 weeks ago, hadn't watched it in years. Still a bloody great movie.

Sequel poor enough, dodgy plot. 6/10. Not a patch on original

Really? I thought it was average. I thought the director strangely put Blunt at the centre of the film but then made her character largely weak. The performances were good but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me, at least not a positive one.

Wind River.  Watched it again last night.  Great show

Same here. Very forgettable film.

Yep each  to their own and all that

The first Sicario movie was very good and I'll watch the second one even though it has universally had less glowing reviews than the first one.

I thought that was the point, Blunts character was being built up as some sort of wannabe super agent/cop and ultimately she was used in a subplot to assassinate these warlords behind enemy lines.
Del Torro as good as ever.

Might need to watch the first again before getting to see the sequel.

Tried to watch Sicario at the weekend but the sound kept going on it on my IPTV player so I gave up. Will try again.


Watched Ready Player One last week and it was such a good film and outdone all my expectations.
