Loved both Teds and really enjoyed Kingsman.
However, the humour didnt feel forced like it did in Deadpool.
as an example, when he first called that girl with shaved head Sinead. That was very clever and i laughed a lot. Most people didnt!
However, when i heard it for the 65th time and then he had to clarify why he called her Sinead at the end. I was bored.
Oh and also, George Michael released Careless Whisper, Not Wham!
That annoyed me too.

although in America it was credited to Wham! i accept that
Does that mean Andrew Ridgely copped some money for it? Well done to him if he did. Ha ha
I thought it took the mickey out of itself and the genre, starting with the opening credits and it kept on going. I laughed at huge chunks of this but no film is ever going to be to everyones taste, especially something like this. I thought it was smart, sharp and as my daughter would say, sassy.

May be just due to what I was dealing with at the time but I also found the way it dealt with Cancer quite touching in places.

Is that what he did for the entire Wham! Career?
Yep but who is the fool there. He toured the world, played the rock star, took the money. All off the back of being George's mate. Afterwards he retired and played with fast cars. Genius.

Room is good and liked the Martian very much.
normally a bit of a wait for good films now after the oscars.

After earlier saying that I like longer films I have to say that The Revenant is an exception - it dragged in the middle quite a lot, the story barely advanced in the middle 45 minutes.
Also, I'm struggling to agree that it deserves all the plaudits it has received.
SLIGHT SPOILER BELOW
Without giving away anything too specific, he wouldn't have survived with those injuries. I doubt he'd have been saved by modern medical advances, he certainly wouldn't have back then. He'd have bled out and even if that hadn't happened, the infections he'd be suffering would seen him off in a day or two.

The more I've heard about this film, the less bothered I am about watching it.

It was good but Hardy's phoney American accent put me off a bit. Sometimes it's better to put an unknown actor into certain roles, I just wasn't convinced by him in this particular film.

After one hour, have a 30 minute nap, you'll be at no loss.

Finally watched 'The Big Short' tonight. Really enjoyed it, thought Steve Carell and Christian Bale were superb. Particularly Carell who, in a type of role an audience hasn't really seen him play, sucked you into his characters frustrations, beliefs and in the end, dilemma!
And if was based on 100% fact, then blimey, quite an eye opener too.

Not related to a specific film, but if there are regular attendees here, Odeon have just brought out a Limitless ticket; £17.99 per month DD or £205 up front for 12 months of pretty much unlimited cinema. Supplements involved for Premiere seating, 3D or central London, but still good value. Mrs BiM's diary says we have already been to 10 this calendar year so we will be giving that a run.
