Saw Sing Street yesterday, agree with Capt Pat, great entertainment and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Deadpool -  thought it was brilliant,  and I wouldn't be a comic / superhero fan in any shape or form.

Old one but watched Happy Gilmore with the kids earlier. Have to say it was just as good as it was first time around ! They just loved it too.

Snap. Very entertaining.

Also saw The Revenant recently, which I liked a lot. Not sure what Leo did to win his Oscar though, other than look really cold and miserable for two and a half hours. Tom Hardy was better.

Also also saw Steve Jobs, which I did not like a lot. Fassbender was good, but thought the story was pretty boring and it's hard not to zone out from a whole two hours of Sorkin's relentless talky walky stuff.

I read the Revenant book before viewing the film   as i believe it's usually best practice to read the book first.
I was impressed by the film version and Leo's performance as the main protagonist  but I have no worthwhile opinion on the detail of the  merits of  the acting.
The characters depicted in the film were as they should be. The film just caught the mood of the story, as told in the book, to perfection.

The Ridiculous 6

Cowboy starring Adam Sadler, Hurley from Lost, the werewolf from Twilight, Nukie from Boardwalk, Harvey Keitel and many others.

Awesome!

Well, not really. Sandler was very poor, and he was the main star, so that did take a lot from the film. But some very funny scenes when Sandler took a back seat.

Brilliant show.

Watched The Revenant, was pretty good - was expecting it to be boring.

Deadpool - was grand, nothing special but passed a few hours.

Ted 2 - not bad, a few very funny moments in it.

10 Cloverfield Lane.. wtf?!!

Took in Batman v Superman in the Maxx last night.  I enjoyed it.  Think people are being a little over critical, but then i am not a comic reader myself. Story was ok, plenty of action, stuff got wrecked... that's all i expected from it really.

Watched Get Short at the weekend too.  It was the wolf on wall street without the sex, drugs and wild lifestyle.

Batman v Superman was all right. Ben Afleck was decent in the role. Turning Superman into a brooding dark character was a bit off IMHO. I wish filmmakers would stop re-casting everything as dark and gritty these days, it's getting old. The religious preaching was every bit as unsubtle as in Man of Steel, which was complete religious propaganda.

Just saw Eye in the Sky. Terrific flick. All about the cost of war, "collateral damage," and the different decision-making processes made by politicians and military people. It has Helen Mirren too, so that's reason enough to watch it.

Watched Deadpool and it was average.  Superman v Batman was crap, boring as hell too.
