Found myself watching "The Vikings" with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis today. It's old-fashioned rubbish but entertaining all the same.

Mechanic Resurrection - watched this last evening - its Jason Statham so you know what to expect but it was a great watch, ridiculous plot and many questionable holes but for out and out action and stunts was terrific. Sometimes you need a total switch off your brain, dont make me think too hard kind of action film and this is it!

all the Expendable films are just like that ,great fun and you really do get what you expect from them.

Watched The Accountant last night - decent watch, wasn't expecting much from Affleck but he was very good.
Oh and Deadpool, enjoyed that.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Yesterday
5 out of 10 for me (at best). Not having watched all the SW films including the last one - I was totally lost at the start and for an hour or so - and stopped trying to work out who was who and on which side. Last half hour or so was rousing - but a long dreary and, to me, rather pointless build up to it. Watched in 2D as find 3D disconcerting and find myself not actually watching the film - but watching for 3D effects. But in this case 3D might have been worth it for the final 30mins.
Poignant ending.

Rogue One last night. Thoroughly enjoyed. Not sure if it's 2nd or 3rd best Star Wars movie.

Saw Rogue One yesterday, fantastic! Up there with the Empire Strikes Back - George Lucas back to his very best.

Had you watched the previous Star Wars films? I haven't watched them all and haven't seen the last one. And so viewing on that basis I thought the film not that great - the last 30mins was pretty good CGI. Overall as a film to watch in it's own right - nope 5 out of 10 at best.

Deepwater Horizon, another based on a true story, and again the emotion grips you, BP come in for some stick (Justifiably for some) some great visual special effects, worth a watch.

Well IMO the rest must pretty rubbish. I didn't understand what was happening for the first hour. Characters were introduced, came and went for little or no apparent reason. What was the story-line - I had no real idea - other than 'a bunch of who-evers find out about the existence of plans that show the weak points of a new weapon - and head off to steal them - and all die in the end'. At the start I didn't know who the goodies were and which were the baddies; I got confused over the Empire and the Imperial forces etc. Most confusing if you hadn't seen previous SW films.

Jungle Book, very recent version. Liked it a lot, with the CGI very convincing.
I'm pretty certain that since Disney bought the rights that George Lucas is not let anywhere near the star wars films, hence the vast improvement in them. If he is involved then it is only a token title, he does not write the scripts or direct any more.
