The Hunter starring Willem Dafoe on Netflix was worth a watch.

Watched it the other week, not only has it got old, I now wonder did I ever laugh at it.

The Revenant is fantastic - definitely one to watch in the cinema and not on a crappy stream / torrent

I found it visually stunning but the story a bit meh. Was too slow.

Listened to podcast recently commemorating 20 years since the release of Heat so went and watched it again last night. Hasn't really aged at all and the bank scene still looks and sounds absolutely incredible. One of my favourite ever films.

Saw Carol last night. Great show. Nice to see a director letting the actors do the talking with their gestures and expressions, which are loaded with meaning.  (The lesbian love scenes are all right too, I'll bet even our Tony would enjoy them.)

i am sorry i didnt wait to see it in the cinema though as mentioned above, i would say it will be unreal visually on the big screen.

watched Bridge of Spies the other night, thought it was very good.

That's the issue with the various means of seeing pirated movies nowadays. Producers and spending hundreds of millions to best showcase their wares on the biggest screens with the best sound production and then people watch the movie on anything from a big tv down to a phone!

Saw The Danish Girl, excellent movie, quality acting and very thought provoking, slightly uncomfortable in parts

I haven't seen it yet? Is Leo Oscar worthy or could the academy give him a 'sympathy' one .. Paul Newman only got one Oscar after years of nominations for the colour of money, which Paul Newman didn't even like as film and claimed it was one of his worst...

I think Michael fassbender in Steve jobs is outstanding.. But he doesn't do the Oscar trail so he's not a contender ...
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

This time of year though - screeners available for anything even remotely connected to awards season. No dodgy cams or anything.

he is really good in this movie but i actually dont think he should get it this year! although i haven't seen all his competitors yet, i fear it could be slightly sympathetic if he does actually win it. i just feel there is not enough dialogue in this for him. i wouldn't begrudge him if he did win it, definitely a great performance but he has put in better performances in the past IMO.

i hear Eddie Redmayne is getting tipped for his role in the 'The Danish Girl'. haven't seen this one yet myself though.

Watched a film there at the weekend called spotlight, had wanted to see it for a while and won a lot of awards. Bases on the true story of the boston globe in 2001 uncovering the catholic church sex scandals.

Really good film in my opinion.
