Just watched The Imitation Game, excellent film well acted. Gives a new twist to the Enigma story.

Recently seen Mr Turner, well acted. Might be a bit slow for some, but not me.
 
I saw interstellar in imax. A very good 🎥. If you haven't seen it you should.
 
I don't tend to do the cinema much these days, rather wait for the film to come on Sky.

I will go to see the new Star Wars film when it's out next year, but I cannot think of anything, that really grabs my attention at the moment.
 
I'm not a cinema goer at all but i do fancy going to see Kajaki as I know a fair bit about the story as I know the brother of one of the Para's involved in it.
 
HAs anyone seen the film adaptation of Irvine Welsh's "Filth" ? I've read all of his books apart from the most recent which i am saving for holiday. The book was great and the film has had good reviews.
 
Always watch a new film on Sky Movies each week. Some of the best ones we have seen were unknown to us that we were then pleasantly surprised by. Reasonable Doubt with Samuel L Jackson was a good twist but the Time Lapse film with the three people finding a camera that takes 24 hours from the future looking into their room was really clever.

Agree about The Time Lapse but oh my poor brain trying to work it out!

On a similar theme and one we also came across with no expectations "The Brass Teapot" - very good.

Its good

Properly dark and revolting

Not anywhere near as grim as the book is though.

James Mcavoy is great as Robertson. Well i mean he is a horrible little person, so yeah, great as Robertson

I asked my 5 year old grandaughter what was the best bit in Paddington.

She replied ......'the bit where he sticks his toothbrush in his ears and then starts eating it'.
 
I thought The Imitation Game was really good. Saw Paddington last night, my friend and I were the only adults there without children.

Looking forward to the new Night at the Museum film.

You must have a child the same age ish as mine. I usually do the divorced dads and daughter afternooon trip to then pictures on Saturday afternoon, even though I am not divorced.

I agree Boxtrolls was superb, and Train your Dragon 2 was pretty good. I also really enjoyed Book of Life and Paddington. No idea of any films that are not a PG as I have not seen any for years.;)
 
Well its years since I went to the cinema, in fact the last film I saw there was Star Trek Nemesis which was in 2002.
Much prefer my Home Cinema, then I can watch it in peace with a nice cold can of Coors :)
 
Just watched the American Sniper really good film from start to end very poignant end.also watch Fury which was good but nothing compared to The 1st one
