Films

Caught up on The force awakens... Yawn. HID loved it but I found it shallow and boring. She was leaping around the room with a poker in her hand and making buzzing noises - I must sort her meds out.

Watched "Coming to America" again the other day. When we all hadn't realised Eddie Murphy was a one-trick pony. Tremendous film, lots of laughs, Murphy and Arsenio Hall just arsing about all through it and a superb link back to Trading Places as well. A good 90 minutes well spent.

"The royal penis is clean" scene gets me every time. :D
 
Watched The Jersey Boys last night on Sky and really enjoyed it.

Valli was a bit before my time but I heard Sherry on the radio the other day and got hooked a bit since.
 
Capt America, Civil War. Very good. Far darker and more thoughtful than past films. Too long, aren't most films now, but this is a proper film. The main fight sequence is very good and also very funny.

Not one for kids this time. This is not an Avengers film.
 
Bit late here but thought I'd mention on BBC IPplayer films section 'Margin Call' is available just now, free of course. Terrific film imo following events (based on true story) in a major US Investment Bank leading into the 2008 market crash. Low budget but great acting by Spacey, Irons, Bettany, Moore, Tucci etc al as their world is about to come crashing down. Few years old now but worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
 
One not to watch - Daddys Home - rented it yesterday, overall pretty poor, well below Will Ferrells usual decent standard - give it a miss.

I thought this when I watched it, his last few have been really poor.

The one with Kevin Hart (Get Hard I think it was called) was really shabby too!
