Watched Spotlight, being an NFL fan Concussion intrigues me, any good?

I felt it was not dissimilar to Spotlight in as much as it investigated the issue of the injuries but was a bit more biographical in relation to the doctor rather than just concentrating solely on the investigation as Spotlight did. Not quite as intense as Spotlight but both Mrs BiM & I found it both entertaining & informative.

I'd also say that Mrs BiM & I felt Spotlight thoroughly deserved its Oscar, but that Eye in the Sky trumped it; filmed in real time once the scene setting had taken place, it was really intense, asked questions of you regarding your views on the subject and then turned them upside down and made you think again. If it got next year's best film Oscar I wouldn't be surprised.

being a big Rocky fan i was totally dissapointed with Creed.
i enjoyed In the heart of the sea and the Hateful 8 is a decent watch as well.
i watched the new fantastic four and apart from being four of them with the same powers the background story was way off the mark with the original comic book story.it was watchable though.

I quite enjoyed Creed as a bit of mindless fun.

Watched the Fantastic 4 yesterday. It does follow the established story in the Marvel Ultimates universe but not the more traditional origins story. Odd film, quite enjoyed the whole set up then they tried to end it in 5 minutes. Suspect there is a longer, better directors cut that was butchered when the studio lost faith in the film. Another title that will revert back to marvel I suspect
 
Watched Hush last night on Netflix, scared my wife who loves horror, although I would call it thriller rather than horror. Good suspense though and an interesting twist in the plot involving a deaf and dumb writer.

Worth a watch for those into this genre.

Caught up with Concussion on our flight as it never seemed to make it to our cinema. Great performance by Will Smith and if it is even remotely close to the truth the NFL should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

I like the look of this film. Will watch it at some point.
See if you can watch 'Head games: the global concussion crisis'. It's a good documentary about the issues with concussion in sports.

My shout for this is Jupiter Ascending. Horrendous.

I gave up on that after 25 minutes. A truly awful film. The Oscar committee should have demanded Eddie Redmayne give his Oscar back after his perfomance in it.

Charlies Angels is the worst film I have ever seen. No redemption in any aspect of that film.
