Watched Unbroken and The Drop over weekend. Two good movies. The drop based on Denis Lehane short novel.

Watched "The Gunman" starring Sean Penn, Xavier Bardem & Ray Whinstone, last night. These actors are way too good for this very run of the mill plot. Sean Penn has seriously bulked up for this role. It looks like he is trying to join the over 50 action heroes who are currently in vogue. The film is 4/10 at best.

Saw the ad on tv.  More than enough.

I saw Fury there on Sky Movies. Good yarn. Also watched Saving Private Ryan again. Jaysus that Normandy scene is brutal in SPR.

Slight tangent, is there any safe torrents site I could use to download a few movies and things for holidays for the kids? I had bittorrent before, but I'm not sure if it's safe to use. I'll probably be downloading on a work laptop, so i'd like to avoid viruses and the like :)

Alternatively, any equivalent for iOS?

Saw the  Wicker Man at the weekend . Years since I seen it previously . Has aged well . Top top film.

Ex Machina. Wife really enjoyed it, I thought it was just alright

The first Spongebob Squarepants with junior...good craic

Watched The Three Stooges at the weekend.

It must have been the brain child of an enthusiast. A fair attempt but not as good as the original.

Watched a few movies this week as we're on holidays. I have a load of movies downloaded that I've never got around to watching. Started with '71 - 5/10. Fairly enjoyable although it made me a bit cross in places. Guardians of the Galaxy - 2/10. That's pure rubbish but I find Chris Pratt funny. Pride - 6/10 - harmless enough and very watchable movie. Noah - 0/10 - what were you thinking Russell?? The worst movie I've seen in a very, very long time. Big Hero 6 - 6.5/10 - Really enjoyable - shamelessly set up for a shed-load of merchandising and a sequel or two. Delivery Man - 5/10 - A couple of laughs, not as painful as it could have been and again, enjoyed Chris Pratt.

I use Bitlord. Easy to install and use. There's an uploader called YIFY who is always safe

Good old YIFY
Watched Spy last night as it was the wife's turn to pick. Silly in places but had some laugh out moments and was enjoyable enough. Your woman Melissa McCarthy is funny 7/10

YIFY is fantastic.

CD, are you mental?! Guardians was outrageously good!

Just not my thing I suppose! It was a bit pointless wasn't it?? Really liked Chris Pratt though. Loved him in 'Parks and Recreation' as well. Very funny guy! Any other comedy recommendations? Just downloaded Paul Blart movies. Have a feeling I'll enjoy them, but my wife will despise them!

I thought it was just silly fun, with some great action and one liners.

If you enjoy Paul Blart but not Guardians them I'm afraid there's no hope for you. Kevin James is a cancer on the world of comedy!

Finally watched Calvary - best film I've watched this year.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
