Finally got round to watching Sicario last night, solid enough film with a few twists.

Personally I didn't think Emily Blunt didn't carry off the action role as pleasing as she is on the eye and once again  Benicio Del Toro stole the show.

Would recommend it for two hours viewing alright.

Yep, saw it Saturday night.
6/10. Too long, story a bit meh. Visuals are brilliant though.
Tom Hardy more deserving of an award than Di Caprio.

I watched two films recently:

The Martian: I thought it was pretty good, enjoyable enough show without being too taxing.7/10

Jobs: I was a bit disappointed in this. it was OK, but didn't really grab the interest the way it should as someone who has recently finished the Jobs biography. 5/10

Didn't really like The Martian at all. It was OK but I was expecting more.
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Solace - Anthony Hopkins. Average enough crime thriller 6.3/10

Hearing very differing views about the Revenant. A lot of people saying it's shit.

The Iceman

Watched "Room" at the end of last week. 6/10. Very harrowing content. First hour was edge of the seat stuff then the second hour was a let down.  Subject definitely weighs down on you.
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

seen it, disappointed with it. Visually it is excellent, but just a decent to good movie, nothing more. Both Hardy & De Capio are excellent.

I'd compare the Revenant to Gravity from a few years ago. Absolutely stunning looking and the scale of the thing is enormous but a but weak on the story and the script that tells it.

DiCaprio was unreal in it again. Up there as one of my favourite actors.
