5 Centimeters per Second. Not just one of the best animated films I've ever seen, one of the best films, period.

Saw Blade Runner 2049 last night. My God what a masterpiece. Every bit as good as the final cut of the original version and maybe even surpasses it. I have a good mind to go back and watch it a second time. Saw in in IMAX 2D and I'm glad I did because it's utterly stunning to look at. And the music! The visuals. The story. The acting. So much Oscar-worthy material in there it's unbelievable.

Never saw the first one but had time to kill this evening and decided to watch Blade Runner because everything else looked like utter shite!

Having known nothing about the story I think I got my head around it Ok but it's one of those few films that I've seen that was really a cinematic experience the cinematography and music had you disoriented at times and it was very enjoyable and didn't seem like 2 hours plus at all.

Crazy shit I dunno how people come up with these kinds of stories!

Blade Runner 2049 was really good, solid 8/10. Has to be seen in the cinema.

Definitely! I don't think it would be near the same experience watching it in the house!

The Circle - Tom Hanks and Emma Watson. A pile of sh*te.

Brawl in Cell Block 99.  Tarrantino Esque.  Worth a watch.  7/10

Watched Wonder Woman. I was very impressed with the lead actress.

Not impressed with the story line. Why bring set it in WW1?

Was not impressed with the lead actor.

David Thewlis is a crap actor. I think he should try has hand at comedy roles, not an evil master.

Wind River is worth a watch. 7/10

Really enjoyed it, Renner is a great actor. Tough going at times

William Wild's 'Feather' during the closing credits was perfect

Worry been breaking and bringing me down
And counting all the times that I fall
But when my time comes I won't be counting at all
I feel all my filth when I look in your eyes
But it falls as light as a feather in the night

Bad day for the cut is good. Cell block 99 was very good too.

I watched the The Lives of Others, yet again.
This time of viewing, near the end when the writer went to the stasi archives (visitors welcome) to retrieve his spy file,  the clerk had a brief look at his docket and says "this will take some time". When a porter finally came to him with a tea trolley chock full of his stasi files, he dryly said to the writer "my respects".

Watched a film called The Witch (2015) on the strength of a recommendation tweet from Rob Delaney. I sat through it for a bit thinking this isn't much kop, as it it went on it got much better building to a fine ending, not jump out scary but one that gets inside your head, I've been thinking about it a lot since I watched it. I've no doubt a lot of people will watch it and think it's shite but I'd recommend it highly.

Not as funny as I thought it would be but compelling viewing all the same. In part it was moving as they drag yer man off to his death in the final scene.

Well acted but it had a cracking cast. The stories it makes reference to are incredible and hilarious too. Stone-arse, the hockey team, the symphony recording, Polina's jailing.
