Room
The Mrs just had this on the tv. Cracking film about the bond between a mother and her young son, held captive in the ROOM.
Won't say anymore in case anyone goes on to watch it.
Solid 8/10

Today I watched Flight of the Intruder
I haven't seen it for years so it was good to see it again. The bit that really stood out was that cast, so many familiar faces! William Dafoe being fantastically odd as ever and it hasn't aged anything like as bad as most flying films, certainly aged better than Iron Eagle although that's maybe not a surprise.

The air combat sequences in Flight of the Intruder were and still are fantastic, in particular the ironhand / engine out sequence and the sam city attack run. " They'd ever expect us to go back "

I know I'm a late comer for this film but we just watched Deadpool. Quite why we left it so long is a mystery. A bloody good entertaining romp.
Definitely an 8/10 for those who haven't watched it yet.
Enjoyed even more the second time. Lots of one liners easily missed the first time around. Definitely an 8/10 for those who haven't watched it yet.

Watched The Hunt (Jagten) last night. Giving it a solid 9/10. The best movie I've watched this year by a country mile.
I watched it for the second time on iPlayer on Saturday night. A very powerful film with a sinister ending. A tear was shed at the dog being killed and award for most brilliantly awkward scene ever has to be when Lucas picks Klara up at the end to carry her over the tiled floor.I did find on second viewing you have to take a bit of a leap to accept the school, his friends and the entire village turn on him so quickly (and violently!). Makes you wonder if there had been previous questions about him for them to dismiss him so readily (the marriage break-down perhaps?).
xXx: <insert stupid title here> - the third one.
Chinese co-production and heavily targeted at that market. Made a lot of money there, utterly crap for anyone else, with a stupid story and rubbish effects.
0.01/10 - don't even waste the 20 minutes I gave it. The other two are masterpieces of cinema by comparison.

Watched Logan at the weekend....
I really enjoyed it, the closure of Wolverine/Logan was very well executed and nicely tied up the character.
However. (Not sure if this should go in as a spoiler, but I'll do it anyway)
1. What happened to all the Mutants? I thought Charles had accidentally killed them all with Cerebro, but I might have read that wrong
2. Why didn't the kids, while being chased, use their powers?
3. What happened to Laura's foot spike that came out once (I think) and was never seen again?
What I didn't like, in the end, was the fact that the trailers didn't tie in to the story itself - so some parts of the trailers that were knitted together, weren't actually related. That said, it was a solid 8/10.

I thought it was good, not great, but good. I thought the ending was quite weak. I'd say 6.5/10.I really enjoyed it, the closure of Wolverine/Logan was very well executed and nicely tied up the character.

I did find on second viewing you have to take a bit of a leap to accept the school, his friends and the entire village turn on him so quickly (and violently!). Makes you wonder if there had been previous questions about him for them to dismiss him so readily (the marriage break-down perhaps?).
That's not my interpretation at all. He resides in a close knit community who, by my own experience growing up in one, would most definitely act like this and make the person an outcast in order to manage-him-out of their community. It's not out of the question.I did find on second viewing you have to take a bit of a leap to accept the school, his friends and the entire village turn on him so quickly (and violently!).

I think it was also highlighting how hyper sensitive and hysterical parents can get and even though the facts being presented were grossly inaccurate... The mud still sticks.
Almost like a complete denial of their own antisocial behaviour towards an innocent man. It's the very irony of their so-called Christian community.
I'll leave it at that so as not to spoil it.

1. Dunno. Not seen any of the other films.
2. They did.
3. It made an appearance in the final battle.
HTH.
