The Martian. 9/10. Loved it. Thought it was very enjoyable and Damon funny in all the right places.

Stretch. 6/10. Enjoyable if you have 90 minutes to spare. Very well shot and a little surreal. Gould entertainment.

Finally got round to watching Mad Max Fury Road earlier - what an absolute load of utter crap - switched over after 30 mins, having struggled to keep any interest. No story, no dialogue, poor 'effects', didn't even look good. And very cheesy.

I saw her father on the telly this week, he was describing how this film is a poor representation of her last year and not accurate, leaving out a lot.
He is hoping to make a more representative film himself.

One that makes him look better and makes him some money I guess he means?

I watched the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro last night.

It's actually the second time I have tried to watch it. The first time, the children irritated the st out of me so much that I couldn't stand it and turned it off after 20 mins.

Last night I think I was in a more mellow mood, and managed the whole film. But I still think the children are really irritating.

Age of Ice has to be a strong 1 out of 10

You'd have to ask him, but I didn't get that impression from what was said.

Kajaki

Grim reality of war superbly portrayed, imagine Last Survivor without Hollywood and this is it, and all the more powerful because of it

A brilliant but gruelling 9/10

You don't need to watch it all, the rest of the movie is exactly the same as the first 30 minutes.

For anyone who hasn't seen it 'The Secret In Their Eyes' is on BBC2 on Sunday night - well, 12.40 am.

A fantastic film, I can't recommend it highly enough

The Argies put out some good films - i love TSITE, and would recommend "Wild Tales" too (which also stars the same main actor) - that is 5 unconnected short stories, full of black comedy and escalating emotions/violence.

Oh that's unfair. Tom Hardy manages to get the garden fork off his face at about the 30 minute mark.

Don't suppose anyone else noticed that the older blokey characters were all actors in the original mad max ?


New watch - Amy.
The winehouse story. Much better than I was expecting - respectful of her story, her talent. Managed not to paint anyone as the bad guy (though it felt there were many who weren't looking out for her who should have been). Tragic story, nicely told.

The Wolverine.

Erm wow, it was actually quite good. Much better than the dross of the first Wolverine film and most of the X-Men films.
So there is this and DoFP that I like from that lot.

[Trevatanus]

Ant-Man. A lot better than I expected.

And won quite a few. It'd win nothing for great acting but the designs and imagery were great. I think this is one that will become viewed more favourably with time.

It does take a time to ramp up but on the whole I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
