The Man Who Knew Infinity. Based on a true story. Great film if you like academia, maths, early 20th century history etc. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXGm9Vlfx4w

Watched Dazed and Confused on Netflix. 70s based coming of age High School movie. Just a good film with a great soundtrack that will put a smile on your face.

Shot in 1993 directed by Richard Linklater there are some fresh faced stars in it well worth a watch 9/10.

Matthew McConnaughey before he was shit for years and long before he got good again.

There was a "spiritual successor" to it, also directed by Linklaters released a few months ago called Everybody Wants Some.

Surprised at how much I enjoyed Straight outta Compton, great film with some fantastic  (& hugely relevant) social commentary.

George Clooney has been in a serious amount of shite films

Burn After Reading his highlight.

Haven't seen that one but Michael Clayton was a great flick. Should have gotten best picture Oscar instead of that No Country for Old Men shite.

Big Short very good - suppose you'd need to find the subject matter interesting tho

I like the way they dealt with the particularly complex financial stuff.

I reckon most of us would have been much better at, for example, calculus if that is how it was taught.

Caught up with Sing Street over the weekend. A really enjoyable movie and a much watch for anyone who likes music and grew up in the 80s.

Saw 66 Days at the weekend. Excellent production! Harrowing times for anyone involved at that period.
