The films seem to be following the trends of the books, first one very good, second one decent, 3rd/4th tripe.

Sums Dallas Buyers Club up nicely, good but not brilliant for us.

A bit harsh IMO, but I wouldn't disagree that it was vastly overrated.

Pretty much agree with that, very good but not necessarily brilliant.
Another vote for Olympus Has Fallen if you can live with the usual action movie premise that the hero can do more damage from 100 yards with a handgun than 10 baddies with sub-machine guns at 50 yards.
Another one that Mrs BiM and I enjoyed was Saving Mr. Banks; very good story & excellent performances by Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks.

Another vote for Saving Mr Banks. The Lego movie looks good too. White House down to watch this weekend along with Frozen and Thor, plus three Big Bangs to bring us right up to date with the States.

Have watched a fair few films this past week as follows:
American Hustle: Dire, ok in parts and its only redeeming feature for me is Amy Adams
Prisoners: Brilliant film Gyllenhal was very good as was Jackman and its keeps you watching & is quite gritty and disturbing at points.
Wolf of Wall Street: I loved it, you need to take the film for what it is visually and how DiCaprio portrays it brilliantly as the directorial side of it is a little bit of going through the motions
Man Of Steel: Decent film, good roles by Costner, Schneider, Cavell and Crowe but story is weak for me, its the actors that keep you watching it
Rush: Superb film so worth watching Hemsworth is awesome as James Hunt and this is possibly Ron Howards finest piece of directing. Recommend it to all even those not into F1.
As for Olympus has fallen it is a decent action flick but I preferred White House Down both very decent films though.
Next up is Draft Day cant wait for that another Costner lead character film and seems he is starting to out some good stuff again since many years of dross

Two good shouts for Prisoners and Rush, both very good, Hemsworth, Gyllenhall and Jackman all put in excellent performances as did Bruhl as Lauda. One I forgot last night was The Butler, Forrest Whitaker was excellent and Oprah Winfrey was much better than I expected. We'll give White House Down a run on the recommendations. Next cinema visits will be The Monuments Men and The Book Thief

Not usually bothered about shooty shooty films like Olympus Has Farted or whatever although I do have a soft spot for Arnie films :thup:
Just watched an old Danny Boyle film called Millions, quite enjoyed it.

I always get confused with Patton and Duval no idea why though.
But it is a great film, it has me glued start to finish everytime I watch it.

We went to see Lone Survivor last night. What a waste of time that was. Kiddies shoot em up stuff like Rambo revisited.
