[Blue in Munich]

Jack Reacher. First time i saw it, i liked it. Second time...ho hum. Not so much.

Could never take that film seriously; the lead character in the books was my height, twice as broad and was played by someone who comes up to my belly button. A shame because it was quite true to the book.

Not a film , but " Better call Saul " the spin off from Breaking Bad is enjoyable :thup:

I really enjoyed Breaking Bad,but I couldn't get into Better call Saul.
I might give it another go.

This film was a crime. I love the book series but putting Tom Cruise as the lead was like casting Julian Clary as the next James Bond. Once they got that wrong I couldn't take the rest of the film seriously. Now if Liam Hemsworth or similar had been the lead it could have been a different story.

Bit late to the party but watched the new Star Wars movie this morning. What a film!! So glad they've managed to resurrect it after those terrible prequels

Would recommend another go, I'm up to date series 2 and it gets interesting. A few old faces from Breaking Bad start to appear .:thup:

Bad Ass, :lol:

London has fallen, decent enough, plenty of gungho macho b.s , worth a watch

the fifth wave, very dissapointing

Watched under orders 'What we did on our holidays' a couple of nights ago, I was reticent, thought it would be a bit twee, kind of Richard Curtis type thing but no, it was quite an absorbing drama, funny, a little dark comedy and enjoyable. Nice when films turn out better than you expect, doesn't happen often.

Mrs BiM & I both enjoyed that one too, both thought it was very good.

It's a role that was almost written to be played by Dwayne 'The Rock" Johnson.

Finally saw Deadpool. Very funny!!

 

[Crazyface]

We watched The Intern (Excellent in fact wifey laughed out loud....TWICE so raising this to unprecedented funny levels in our house!) and The Sandlot (Good) over the weekend.

Just caught up with The Force Awakens. Much better than I anticipated. Any fan of the original will love it.
Saw Deadpool last night. I loved it, funny as...

Mad Max Fury Road - that was two hours of my life I'll never get back - did anything else happen outside of freaks attacking the convoy?
Predestination - on Sky Films right now - really clever time travel idea.

Rise of the Foot Soldier. London gangster movie shot over a few decades. Bizarre, B movie type, but quietly interesting. Plenty of choice language though!

 

[Blue in Munich]

Midnight Special was last night's Screen Unseen offering. Not dreadful but not quite worthy of the rave ratings in both the Minister's opinion & mine, although in fairness neither of us are great Sci-Fi buffs.

 

[Norrin Radd]

just watched Big hero 6 ,surprisingly good .
also watched the remake of ... i spit on your grave . ...not a woman to mess with that one . not a bad remake.

If you are in need of a feel good film, Eddie The Eagle is for you. Thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining.

I think me and the wife are planning to see this tomorrow. Or Deadpool. Or Batman v Superman. Yes we are Sci-Fiers!

Saw Zootropolis today. Run-of-the-mill Disney offering, by the same director I think that did Cars. Not a patch on that I'm afraid, but the kids liked it.

Saw Midnight Special tonight. It is a story rather than a film. Nice change from the stock blockbusters with twists and turns. Some won't like it and get bored, but did a job for me.

 

[Norrin Radd]

just watched Batman V Superman .what a great movie.
highly recommended.
