The Accountant - 8/10 surprisingly good
Jack Reacher, never go back - 6/10 ok

Just sat through Dances with Wolves, on BBC IPlayer (so no ads) currently. Forgot how good a movie this is, despite being 25 yrs old now. Deserving of the hosts of awards it won imo.

Great film and if you play Horners music so you can just about hear it........wonderful for insomniacs getting off to sleep.

Concussion. As a fan of the NFL, very interesting subject. Good film, lead played very well by Will Smith.

Watched this recently aswell, good film :thup:

As someone else said nice to watch a film these days that isn't a Marvel or a prequel/sequel.......

My pals claim to fame is he was taught by a fella who was taught by Ip Man
He is crazy skilled at martial arts mind so maybe there is something to it.

Watched Eddie the Eagle on Netflix last night. A good, fun film. If even half of it was true he was a very determined individual

Watched a couple of old films recently that I hadn't seen before. Donnie Brasco and Casino, both very good

 

[Midnight]

Watched Heartbreak Ridge last night, not seen it for ages, still has some good lines in it.

Followed up the Butler with 12 Years a Slave - another wonderful powerful performer from the people in the film - such a moving film that makes me feel ashamed of fellow human beings

Try The Birth of a Nation if you the hat-trick in a similar vein.

Great film. Sequel is a bit cheesy, but boy, these guys can fight. I've nearly finished off watching III.

The 33. Great story, however not really translated into a good film.
