Just back from being at the pictures with Mrs SiLH - we saw La La Land (Loved-It)

Oh so good and such a joy (no plot to talk of mind) - such a pick-me-up and truely feel-good film - just what we needed today and after our last 16months.

Great dancing, music, cinematography (filmed in huge wide Cinemascope), a they were soooo sweet.

Sorry but dont agree - except about the cinematography which was great. But the singing was only passable and the dancing was only "alright". Got bored halfway through and dont see why it's so hyped. But each to their own ...

Anyone seen Trainspotting 2 yet??
Really looking forward to seeing this.

I agree - the leads singing and dancing were just OK - but I wasn't bothered about how brilliant or not they were at either - I just found it fun and fell good.

Didn't think it was that bad but it was overhyped.

If you watch Lion, take the Kleenex, very good & an amazing story.

Thoroughly enjoyed La La Land, different, entertaining, fun.

Nocturnal animals, distinctly average

Just got back from watching Lion. Great film. Slowish at the start but gets there. If you ain't snuffling into your hankie by the end, then you have aheart of stone. Great performances by both Dev Patel & Nicole Kidman.

Just watched split, excellent film and wide open for a follow up.

Hacksaw Ridge. An absolutely incredible story told with stunningly graphic scenes & superb cinematography. I've seen 6 of the 9 Oscar nominations for best film, and for me it is head and shoulders above anything else. Only Moonlight, Fences & Hidden Figures yet to see on that list.

Sing. One for little uns but lots of fun. Major piggy power 🐖

 

[MarkE]

Just seen The Arrival. Really enjoyed that one, a proper grown up sci-fi drama. Also Jack Reacher and although Tom Cruise is nothing like the character in the books, it's still an enjoyable action film.

Really enjoyed hidden figures👍Very good film imo.miss Sloane is good also,not sure how it got a poor review. Jessica chastain proves how good an actor she is.

i watched a film by Mel Gibson two nights ago ,called Apocolypto. it was written ,directed and produced by Mel, it was set in the amazon jungle around the time of the Incas. it was a little gruesome in places but the story moved along and was quite funny in places .
although it was subtitled it didnt retract from the film at all. well a look but not with the kids around.

Watched this a couple of time. Excellent - though yes - it is very gruesome in parts. The chance that prisoners are given to escape by running down the clearing whilst being shot at is neat.

Yes, watched it yesterday.

Without wishing to dampen ya expectations, don't expect it to be as good as the first, its a rarity that sequals are after all so am sure ya not, but enjoyed the flash backs and the way he kept to a similar plot from the first. I was really looking forward to another kick-ass soundtrack but that didn't happen strangely. Deffo worth a watch and Robert Carlyle was ace!

This film looks decent. Glad you gave it a good review. don't get to the cinema ever at the moment as I have two kids under 3, but will watch this when it comes on the box or consider getting it from iTunes.

Be careful if you are watching it on a tablet which other people are able to see. It is a very good film but as others have said some of the violent scenes really are quite unpleasant. I have The Kingsman as one of my travel films but that is one that I only watch if no one is around me for this same reason.

Meh, you sit next to me on a plane, you get what you get! Hopefully they request to move!
