Hacksaw Ridge, true story, brilliantly told, best film I've seen for quite a few years.
For me the best film Mel Gibson has directed.

Aye, watched this during the week, Arrival the night after.
Was really enjoyable from start to finish and as recommendations go, a must watch.
Arrival was good, think i need to watch it again to get mi head around 'the order' of her story but maybe i was distracted during it and missed some important bits...
Also watched 'Don't Breathe' at weekend - I'm not big into 'Horror' but this was very much an intense thriller with some gore scenes moreso than a traditional horror IMHO. A very good watch and well worth a viewing.

Girl on a Train.. watched last night with mrs, managed to stay awake too. Score 7.5/10, good acting all round and plot was fine if a little underdeveloped but they didn't create enough tension to make it a great thriller imo. Emily Blunt puts in a star turn and plays a very good alcoholic.

Live by Night was tonights choice, decent gangster flick starring Ben Affleck, not bad, decent story line, not your normal ganster movie, worth a watch.
Going for Arrival tomorrow night.

Jackie - boy is it intense. Natalie Portman excellent. Poignant to see John Hurt (his last film?). Soundtrack - brilliant.
All in all - it's not La La Land

La La Land.....people must be in La La Land if they think this is any good. Scored 2+4+10 at our house.
PS the 10 was from my son who gives 99% of films 10. The exception is the Twilight films which get ZERO ! Everything else 10.
So AVOID !!!

Hacksaw Ridge. 8+10 (Wifey did not watch) Good God is this realistic. They should show the war bits as an Army Recruiting Video.

Enjoyed Arrival, glad I read your post and concentrated, because exactly like you say it makes you think and piece things together. Sci-Fi with a twist.

If you go into that film with a mindset that says 'it can't be worthy of all those nominations' then you find the film as you found it. Me and my Mrs? We just went to watch it without such expectations - and we thought it was fun, they were sweet, and the music was good. No plot worth more than a moments thought - but so what - that's not what we were looking for.
Jackie it isn't. But I don;t think I'd want to watch a Jackie every week.
Go to watch it to enjoy it. Don't go expecting the world or the new Rogers and Astaire. So WATCH

Watched Hacksaw Ridge last night, both myself and HID enjoyed it.
Girl on the train the other week, took time to understand the plot, but was a good film

Watched Patriots Day this afternoon, the story of the Boston Marathon bombings, very good film that by all accounts stuck to facts.
Good use of actual cctv from the event and covers all angles. Worth a watch

Started to watch The Departed last night.
Good cast and a great film apparently .........if you like extreme violence and foul language.
Turned it off after about 15 mins

You haven't seen Room then? Truly stunning film.
On a military note, have you seen Taxi To The Dark Side? If not watch it mate, you'll love it.
