Watched the new Ghostbusters. Had no preconceptions about it. But it is complete rubbish. A comedy aimed at children. A huge insult to the original. Bad writing and direction. Nothing to do with the female leads.

Just seen Rogue One tonight. Excellent film. Right up there with The Empire Strikes Back for me, the best of the trilogy films. As someone stated earlier, ties up some of the ridiculous plot points from A New Hope and leads into it great.

I was one of the ones that panic when I said Disney won the rights to Star Wars, but they are off to a flying start with their first two films.

Well when ya watched them back in the day they made sense but now it clears a lot of stuff up or just improves a great story

Sully -  excellent. 

Look forward to Rogue 1. Are 6 &  7 year olds too young?
There were younger children there when I was watching it. The BBFC have guidance that 12A has a lower limit of 8 years old but it is only guidance.

Nocturnal animals ... v. Good, intense thriller a story within a story.
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

Watched Santa Claws with the kids.


It is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever, ever seen. It is beyond atrocious.

Not a movie but any views on westworld??

Seems like a strange show. About halfway through the first series but still persisting.

I gave up on it. Found it extremely boring.

Best show of 2016 by a distance. How anyone could find an actor as great as Anthony Hopkins boring I'll never know.

It's was shite for 5 or 6 episodes and good for 3 or 4. It's a darling of the hype brigade though.

Or as the rest of the world knows them critics and viewers. It was a huge popular and critical success. HBO's highest ever watched first season.

The first five or six episodes built to a brilliant climax in the latter episodes. Would that be a more accurate way of putting it?
