Saw the Revenant at the weekend.

I really liked it, and the music was good too.

John Wick. Proper mindless stuff. Reminded me of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando. That's not a criticism, just a reflection on not having to think of much when watching it.

Great review!

I thought it was awful....it's got it's own thread but I'll pipe up on here too! I haven't seen a more gratuitously graphic and violent a film, too long (to the stage where it became boring), very little plot, characters were shallow.

Good bits....Bear attack was amazing CGI, great cinematography and Leo's grunting will finally get him his Oscar.

Pandorum. Two guys wake up on a long distance space ship and can't remember anything about how they got there. One of them explores the ship and gradually it all becomes clear.

Didn't expect too much but quite enjoyed this one - 7/10
I enjoyed it. Preferred the start before it got all..... Anyway it's like two films in one. Worth a watch.

6.3/10

The Family, nice lil De Niro comedy with a riff (again) on the mafia. Loved the performance of the whole family.

really? thought it was tired, cliched, unfunny and yet another nail in the coffin of RdN's once proud career - a coffin that is now more nail than wood

I went to see Creed last night.

I thought it was good, however, almost predictable, and I can see why Stallone has an Oscar nomination.
However, I don't believe he'll win the gong when he's up against Mark Rylance for his role in "Bridge of Spies".

Yes - that's a fair score but not being in finance, I did struggle with some of the detail.

It all came clear how we've been cheated when the guy went to the ratings agency ( S&P ?) to find out how the poor value of the bonds was being misrepresented and they said if they didn't score the parcel of worthless mortgage debts with an AA rating then they would lose the work to ( Moody's ?) who probably could be persuaded to give an AA rating to get the work.

B@stards - the lot of them. Who can you trust?

Clerks
Stayed up to watch it last night as I work my way through the KS back catalogue and it's actually aged very well. There's some college acting in there obviously but nothing that obvious. Indie films seem to date very easily and to be fair it's very "1990's" but I really enjoyed it and KS' script, him an Tarrentino really had the who monologue/dialogue thing going but it's fair to say their careers went in very different directions!

8/10 as a film but 10/10 as an indie

The trailer persuaded me that this is a film I really do t want to see! I'll just watch Kick Ass again.
