Batman v Superman; well it wasn't quite as bad as I thought from the reviews on here but I wouldn't rave about it either. Let's hope the sequel it is so obviously setting up is a vast improvement.

+1 to that. No more or less implausible than London Has fallen or the Bond films.



Or if you're a priest. Be interesting to know exactly how much was true and how much was Hollywood licence, but a great film & deserving of its Oscar in my opinion.

Off to give Batman v. Superman a run later despite the warnings on here……..

Tbh BIM I think they toned it down to the truth! Some of things I've read about it are truly shocking!! Watched the tunnel season 2,I know not a film but great watch. Just waiting on s2 of Gomorrah now!

My comment on seeing the end credits about Cardinal Law echoed Mark Ruffalo's, the big difference being that his wouldn't earn him an infraction on here………...

Watched Interstellar again. Gets better every time I see it.

Double header tonight. The second one was The Jungle Book. A new take on an old story, very enjoyable with some good humour.

The first film we saw tonight was Eye In The Sky. If you don't have an opinion on drone warfare before you watch it, you probably will afterwards. If you did have a view on drone warfare it may change. For me, it was compelling viewing, raising a number of questions on a wide range of issues & it brought home the effects on those involved, yet did so without preaching or being condescending. Not a duff performance by anybody and Alan Rickman was excellent, particularly in his final rebuke to a politician. I loved Spotlight and thought it was worthy of its best film Oscar, I think that Eye In The Sky is equally as good if not better.

Have seen clips of this and did wonder if they'd pull it off.

However having also seen him doing the rounds of the various plugging shows last week, the kid playing Mowgli is so irritatingly precocious in real life that I'm not sure I could endure him for 2 hours.

Watched Spy In The Sky the other day.
One of those films when the audience leaves very quietly.
Shot in real time, lots of suspense, with the scenario constantly changing.

Im a fan of Clint Eastwood's westerns so for me it would have to be The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Pale Rider or The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Just finished watching The Blues Brothers. Forgotten how good it is.

 

[sandmagnet]

Miracles from heaven based on a true story was very good.

Raided Netflix...Ip Man, Ip Man II, Kung Fu Killer. Martial arts action with Donnie Yen. Good stuff.

On Sky...Southpaw. Bit naff that.

I was at Universal Studios a few weeks back and decided to watch the tribute show that runs four times a day. Whilst standing talking with one of the organisers, an American came up to her and asked "are these the original actors performing?"

Outside of John Belushi having been dead for over 30 years, I'm sure Dan Ackroyd has nothing better to do in his 70s than perform at a theme park for the tourists.

Priceless. I thought the American who asked the crew member on the roof observation deck of the Rockefeller Centre, about 70 floors up, why it was called the Top of the Rock shouldn't be let out unsupervised, but it appears that this one is even worse (unless my one has travelled south without their carer…….)

When this guy walked off, the organiser looked at me and smiled knowing she wanted to say "My god what a moron" but all Universal guests are guests are always right. She did laugh when I commented "it's OK, I know exactly what you're thinking".

Then the two guys impersonating Elwood and Jake were absolutely terrible.

Quick heads up on a film called Her on Film4 at 9 tonight. Supposed to be pretty goddam good and worth watching or recording.

The Interview. Too silly for me, and that is saying something. Some good moments though.
