A few I watched lately.
Brooklyn. Meh boring as fcuk.Nothing actully happens in the film. Don't understand how it was nominated for best movie. 2/10
Spotlight. Excellent. The Catholic Church really is as rotten as fcuk. 8/10
Creed. Not bad.Not a patch oh the Rocky movies though. Could have done with less of the Everton shite. 7/10

Agree with that re Brooklyn. I enjoyed it, but you're right nothing really happens. Not sure how it got nominated for an oscar either.

The Big Short is a very good movie.

Really good movie, good pace to it, well acted and uses a lot of piece to camera to explain the financial terms for dummies like me.

Saw Steve Jobs

Really enjoyed it. It left me wanting to see more considering I had recently read the Isaacson book on him.
MWWSI 2017

The Iceman

Bridge of Spies - a bit slow - took me two sittings to finish it but decent story - 6/10
Victor Frankenstein - passed the time - 5/10 expected more given the cast but has there ever been a good Frankenstein film?

Only one - Young Frankenstein.

And this one

the 1931 classic

Tony Baloney

Really enjoyed Mississippi Grind. Ben Mendelsohn put in a far better performance than many of the Oscar nominees from this year.

The Iceman

Watched Everest  - really great story - fantastic to see some of the shots (hoping a lot of it was actually everest) 6.5/10

brutal show. probably the worst chick flick i've ever sat through.

also brutal was Hunger Games Mockingjay part 2. avoid the whole series if possible.

The Hunger Games films get worse as they go on.  The first one was very good, but down hill from there.  The last two were terrible.  The new Point Break was pretty poor too.

That 10 Cloverfield Lane looks decent that's out tonight!

The Iceman

Watched Black Mass last night. Not sure what to make of it - I maybe expected too much going in... I wouldn't know it was Depp if I hadn't known in advance - that was great - but at the same time he looked like a vampire or something with heavy makeup and unnatural features - just added a weird vibe to it for me.  The other performances were decent, the content was interesting but there was nothing endearing about the main characters like we would have had with Goodfellas... or even the Story of Danny Greene- Kill the Irish man...
6/10

The Big Short -  film about the housing / economic collapse in the US. Excellent show.  Some great acting but Steve Carell stole the show.   8.5/10
