that Star Wars trailer though.. very excited have to admit

Looks great! Know a load of people that have bought their tickets for the midnight screening already.

has the rating been announced yet? Holding off mentioning it to my youngest in case its a '12' !

Walked out of the 1st of the new Stars Wars films in Parnell St cinema after about an hour it was so bad. Wasn't the first one to do so either.

Critics were raving about it at the time.

Haven't and won't be watching another one. 

Can say the same about the Batman movies.

Anybody know of decent movies on Netflix??

I know the usual Good Will Hunting, Snatch, etc. but are there any that weren't that big at the time that might be good? I watched A Bronx Tale the other night it was brilliant!!

Into the wild http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758758/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

layer cake http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375912/?ref_=nv_sr_1  (worth it for sienna miller).

filth http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1450321/?ref_=nv_sr_1 (probably an acquired taste but I am a big Irvine Welsh fan)

The Iceman

Finally got around to seeing Southpaw - great show.
Was there some CGI in there for the fight scenes? Not sure if you's all have daughters but definitely scenes in the film that pull on the heart strings..... 7.5/10
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

Walter Cronc

Watched Black Mass the other night - 7/10.

Glad I didn't pay to see it at the cinema but decent nonetheless.

Watched The Intern. Kind of a feel-goody almost chick flicky type film. Taking that into consideration it wasn't bad at all.

according to the bbfc Star Wars 7 is a PG. Happy with that

having good craic watching old movies with the kids, ghostbusters, gremlins, jumanji and a few others.

Saw the martian in 3D there- first time I really appreciated the 3d movie, it was a great show I thought

looking forward to star wars. Disagree strongly with the intern there- thought it was awful. Isn't that the great thing about personal taste!
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Watched A Most Violent Year last night, very good show.

Bond: 'Spectre'. Decent show, plenty of action, nice women, a 'good' baddy etc.   7/10

screenexile

Looking forward to seeing Spectre, Jobs, The Hateful Eight, Being AP, Hunger Games.

Haven't gotten around to the plethora of films you lads have suggested on Netflix but hope to in the next while... watched Beasts of No Nation... superb!! Harrowing though but I'd give it a 9/10 it's excellent!!

Anyone seen ex machina? Is it worth a watch ?
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

Just finished watching Intermission there on RTE 2. Hadn't seen it in years. Still a great movie.
