Arthur Legend of camelot (Guy Ritchie)
Absolute dogs!t. Comically bad. Its basically Lock Stock set in the 11th century. Avoid at all costs.
Not my cup of tea but, out of curiosity, I had a look at the reviews on IMDB. Blimey, it gets amazing reviews but few from the UK. Indonesia, Japan, Finland, Ukrain, they love it, theyre crazy for the whole medieval Lockstock vibe. He obviously knows his market and so what if it's not in the Uk, it's a big world out there and they gobble up films like this.Absolute dogs!t. Comically bad.

I watched Mr Brooks with Kevin Costner last night. Didn't quite know what to make of it, a bit quirky, held my attention.Shame about the blatantly tacked on 'Hollywood ending' which seemed to have been added on to run straight after the 'real' ending which I assume didn't go down well with the test audience.

Also see The Game for a similar volte face.

La La Land
What a waste of time and effort. Nothing much happens, the songs are forgettable, the singing mostly weak. I didn't really warm to the characters (especially the girl).Good cinematography.
2/10
I agree. How the hell did this win so many awards. Loads of luvvies voting for each other. Total pishWhat a waste of time and effort. Nothing much happens, the songs are forgettable, the singing mostly weak. I didn't really warm to the characters (especially the girl).Good cinematography.

I love Open Range.
Same here, which does mean that 2 of my favourite westerns star Kevin Costner which is a bit disturbing 
The odds are that if KC is involved, it'll be a good film - or in the case of 'Dances', one of the best films ever made. A Masterpiece.

... all superb westerns. I have them all on DVD and better quality downloads.
Clint is possibly the only other person who has made consistently good westerns, with GBU being the best of them all. It's just a pity most people write that one off because of the imperfect sounds - both the sync'ing and the old FX.
Force Majeure on Netflix.
Family get caught in an avalanche and the husband legs it to save himself rather than protect the wife and kids. Did hold my interest for a while, with some great scenery and general skiing shots, but ultimately I found that I didn't really give a toss about their relationship troubles
5/10

Tiger Raid
New one on sky, had 4 stars so gave it a go
Two soldiers for hire, off to complete a mission in middle east somewhere - very obviously a transition form play to film, there are only 3 characters, lots of shouting at each other and then it gets very repetitive
ended up fast forwarding to end, and that didn't make a lot of sense
