Lady Bird, really lovely film, I get why Saoirse Ronan is being hotly tipped for an Oscar, cracking performance. Not quite up there with 3 Billboards IMO (despite having a better Rotten Tomatoes rating) but still a must watch if you like quality movies.
Got an itch to watch Manchester By The Sea again, last time I saw it was on a long haul flight to America and it was sublime then despite the background noise. Hopefully on my sofa with a few large glasses of Marlborough Sauvignon it will be even better 2nd time around.

Love a good Naval film.

So do I.
Can't beat a beat of Bollywood

Bad Moms.
Funny easy viewing film.

It. Quite a good watch. Not as scary as i had expected. New bloke is not as good as Tim Curry in the original

Went to see 3 Billboards at the weekend. Best film I’ve seen in years. Tremendous performances all round. Docking half a mark for a couple of holes in the plot, but if you haven’t seen it yet, get yourself along asap. 9.5/10

First film I've seen in a while, watched Detroit last night. Really good, shocking to think that was only 50 years ago.

Has anyone watched 'The Post'

struggled to grasp the story, don't think I'll sit through it again

We went to see it on Friday night. Really enjoyed it, what bits of the story did you not get ?

Watched Den of Thieves on Friday, it was an entertaining action caper and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Halfway through I started thinking it was a remake of Heat, even though I don't actually remember too much about Heat. It was worth a watch.

Watched CHiPs yesterday.

Terrible film, I loved it!

Mudbound on Netflix, pretty good film.

Watched CHiPs yesterday.

Agree, awful film, great Sunday night viewing that involves no concentration at all. Expecting the Baywatch film to follow a similar pattern and that is on Sky this weekend.

Watched the Guy Ritchie King Arthur film. Not sure I expected it to be lock stock and swords and sorcery. Pretty harmless viewing, entertaining enough for a Friday night after the pub.

Absolutely with you on this. I bought it on iTunes and have probably watched it 5 times (I have a 2 hour each way commute so watch films on the train).
Easy watching. Funny.

Baywatch Film - same thing as CHiPS - got it on iTunes, have watched it a couple of times.
If you liked CHiPS, you should like Baywatch.

Watched Interstellar the other night. Made absolutely no sense at all. They should have just called it 'Inception in Space'. I dislike it when writers use completed invented science off the top of their heads and we're supposed to accept that this is what would happen. I just thought it was wall to wall nonsense really. Matthew Mahogany is a good actor (these days) so he made it watchable at least.

Seeing as a leading world scientist and Nobel prize winner for Physics, Kip Thorne, was executive producer and scientific consultant on the film, he might take offence to that!

Don't care if it does. It was nonsense from start to finish. Using 'gravity' to send messages back in time - it's as if they just plucked a random scientific concept out of the air. Might as well say "we are going to achieve lightspeed transport... using photosynthesis!" Rubbish.

You should do some research on the science in the film. It may not be anything we know at this stage but the methods make sense.

The theories and science in the film are fascinating to me. These aren't just made up, they have creditability and yes, of course, as we know more through the years, they will be refined or discarded. Because it looks or sounds rubbish, doesn't mean it is, like some other sci-fi films. It was about time Hollywood made a decent and credible film on this subject.

The soundless scenes in Gravity were also breath-taking.

Give it some time then watch it again.
