Has been top of my "must watch" list since I heard Kermode review it, hopefully watch it on Friday night.

I literally cannot say enough good things about it.

Seen most of the oscar nominations for this year now, and for me it was better than spotlight (Which i also thought was amazing).

hope you enjoy

Personally preferred Spotlight but either are a very good use of 2 hours. :thup:

A weird Scottish sci fi film called Beyond, started reasonably well, then the next 90 odd minutes wasted.

Just back from "Gladiator meets the frozen North" aka The Revenant. Whilst it is superbly filmed, directed and acted, the plot for me was thinner than Twiggy and dragged on a bit, consequently I'm not as enamoured as some others

I know what you mean,I did enjoy it but it wasn't very gripping.

Thought 'Last of the mohicans' was a better film.

In full agreement of this

And I thought The Big Short was better than Spotlight
I keep wanting to watch Brooklyn but my daughter is rebelling against it at the minute.

Watched The Martian yesterday.... Wished I'd made more of an effort, whilst it was on release, and seen it on a big screen... Been done before but none the less still more than watchable...

Watched The good Dinosaur with kids last night. They loved it ,wife was in tears.

Enjoyed The Big Short & the style I felt suited it well, I just preferred the more sombre style of Spotlight which was more in keeping with the subject matter.

Brooklyn was described by Mrs BiM as "a nice film"; it's a "nice" story, worth a watch but not for me at the same level as Spotlight, Room or The Big Short.

Concussion and Triple 9 are next on the list……….

Knock Knock staring Keanu Reeves, this is definitely not for children.

Saw Revenant last night too.

Everything about it is exceptional, except for the storyline itself. Exactly the same as Birdman.

Leo barely speaks in it, and Tom Hardy is in it almost as much. Despite being a huge Leo fan, this isnt his best film he's done, but i still hope he wins an oscar.

I maintain that Spotlight is a better film.

He should not be awarded an oscar for doing not much more than looking cold for the duration of the film. Ok, he endured a lot and he probably was cold. But that's not the same as good acting. Agree with everyone else that Room, Spotlight and, The Big Short all much better.

Best acting this year? Mark Rylance in Bridge of Spies. But he's only up for a supporting role

I'd second that, he was absolutely brilliant, made Tom Hanks look average.

Me too, the rehearsals must have been a nightmare, but not a bad gig
