House of Dynamite was veey good. Worst ending to a film ever though.

Watched the Colin Farrell gambler film on netflix. It's got poor reviews but I quite enjoyed it

The Bruce Springsteen film is pretty good.  I wasnt blown away by it, but entertaining none the less.  I must say though that I'm not a massive fan (although I do like some of his songs), and I wouldnt know much about his life.

Jeremey Allen White is very good.

It's basically a snapshot of a period of time in the early 80s, and some childhood flashbacks. It's probably good that they didnt try to cover too much ground in such a long career.

Went to see it last night myself. My wife didn't enjoy it as it was darker than she was expecting.  Have read a few biographies and being aware of his problems and the issues around the release of the Nebraska album I really enjoyed it. Jeremy Allen White was excellent.

If you don't go to it expecting it to be a run through of Bruce's greatest hits it's well worth a watch.
Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the world will turn.

I'm actually glad it wasnt, and that would have been my issue with the Bob Dylan biopic.

Violent Ends - very good, as was Anniversary.

One Battle After Another was dung.

Not a popular choice but the Apprentice was very good..

I watched The Apprentice on Netflix and would highly recommend it. Especially to all you MAGA Gaelic supporters.

The film suggests that Cohn gave Trump three rules to live by (which Trump later plaigerised for his book on the Art of the Deal
- always attack
- never apologise
- claim victory even when defeated
Those seems like key tenets of his Presidency.
