I'm looking forward to Rogue One. Could be a taste of what the prequels could have been.

Just saw Midnight Special. Top quality bit of Sci Fi. One of the best films I've seen so far this year. Bit slow at first, but when they start feeding you clues about what's going on it becomes gripping, and the payoff at the end is mind-blowing.

Under Lights

Watched Entourage. Easy watch- just the same as the TV series if you like tit. Story line very light but it really is just an extended TV episode.

Watched the latest Mad Max last night. What are film producers smoking. I have no problem with equality between the sexes but my god this whole empowering women thing in the films is starting to get to much. The wife was watching it with me and she even commented that was over the top. The story was rubbish the cast were poor and the CGI was well CGI. All in all a poor remake.

It's a great flick. Hardly a re-make of the original either, I dunno where you get that from. And a lot of the special effects were practical.

He likes a bit of everything

Watched Spotlight. Ok movie but wouldn't go as far as best picture. Not a patch on The Big Short in my opinion.

I think I've seen that type of desert, vehicle chase concept before, which took up most of this film.  It was very well made but dead otherwise.
Not a film I'd watch with my wife.


STREET FIGHTER

Any recommendations folks?

Hound

London Has Fallen

Great action film, storyline very far fetched. Very funny theme running through it about incompetent englishmen (not sure whether intended or not).

Eddie the Eagle

An entire 6 of us in the cinema on Sat watched it at Lisburn Omniplex. Won't suit film buffs but it was heart warming and an easy watch.

Eye in the Sky, Helen Mirren & Alan Rickman. Really good movie that plays on the chain of command over the order to strike Muslim extremists. Highly recommend.
