Where did you see it? Cinema or online? I'm struggling to find where I can see it.
UK cinema release is August 31st, it's only in the 100+ release bracket though so don't expect to find it outside of big cities. Films with that sort of release usually get a legit digital release very quickly after.BlacKKKlansman is out on the 24th, that's a fully wide UK release.
Bringing up Baby
Decided on a stone cold classic for the kids last night. 1938 and still very funny. Good God Katherine Hepburn though .
Also amazing how thin everybody was back then.
Whole film free on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fowrDX2zA0

Equaliser 2. Revenge porn. What's not too like? Well, a weak a storyline full of holes! Real shame, had high hopes. Seems to have lost some of its (required) violence.
Verdict, brings a knife to a gun fight.
The Festival. Not as funny as it could or should have been. Better waiting for it Prime, Netflix etc or All4 (in about 2 weeks). Short on purile, long on well running time. It was however brain out and easy on the hangover so:
Nora Jones headlining Glasto.
Patticakes
On Now tv. Well worth catching. Basic synopsis is fatbird does 8 Mile (Eminem's movie). Very bittersweet, but A great watch. Had a budget of about 37pence, but I thought well played by near all the actors (bar the wannabe P Diddy OZ guy). Rating:
Get Money, get money.

For a decent revenge film you need to watch Christine. For a cheesy revenge film you need to watch The Wraith. Both car based films Verdict, brings a knife to a gun fight.

Christine yep, will try again with the Wraith. I like Scicario as a revenge flick. You think your getting a gritty drug movie, but it's got a satisfying revenge story running through it. And the payoff is as it should be. Mind you I like unhinged revenge, Law Abiding Citizen and Death Wish are favourites. Might need a word with myself.
American Made (2017)
First recent film I've watched for a while.
Tom Cruise as ex. TWA pilot & airbourne smuggler Barry Seal in a Hollywoodified bio-pic - interesting bloke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Seal
Entertaining stuff - Cruise reliable as usual in the lead, plenty of messing about with low-flying aircraft & general '70's/80's Colombian cartel, South American revolutionaries and CIA shenanigans.

Upgrade...
Awful!! Crap acting by most. A confused spider-man/batman/dead-pool mish-mash without any cool suits or decent one-liners. We had Hitler in there. We had Spidey's Auntalike. We had a bunch of fannies supposedly in a VR world (laughed out loud at that point).
Dreadful.
What are some of you lot on??

I watched this at the weekend and enjoyed it, kept getting more and more insane. Which is a pity as it seems that most of it was not stranger than fiction.First recent film I've watched for a while.

I treated myself to a 4k copy of Sicario this weekend. It had been long enough since the first time I saw it that I couldn't quite remember all the specifics. As you say, a very good revenge story running alongside the main narrative. Very enjoyable and Miss Blunt as lovely as ever Bullett said:

Still Cruise enjoyed himself and it was fun - although the BIL would've had a much earlier slap in reality.
I was surprised by American Made, I didn't actually know too much about what the film was about before I watched it.
I really enjoyed it and fits in very well with the Series Narcos if you have seen it? I kept on recalling certain parts with the pilot in Season 1. Also how much trouble he had hiding cash in America as Escobar did in Columbia.

Bridge of Spies. Amazing film, every bit, so well crafted
I really enjoyed it too. Tom Hanks was excellent, as usual "Would it help?"

Damn, Speilberg's films are great.
