Films

First flight down and watched no escape. Blooming brilliant I thought. Family travel to Asia for work and land the day the president gets shot and a civil war breaks out. Edge of the seat the whole way! And I did not expect that with Owen Wilson as the star! 5 stars from me!

Never heard of it,just added it to my list.

You've probably already seen it but Law abiding Citizen is brilliant
 
My thoughts exactly, i was waiting for something to happen, but i fell asleep and had to play it back, but i didn't miss anything. Good acting though.

Yup, thought Denzel's performance was better than Casey Affleck in Manchester by the Sea, & no argument with Viola Davis for her Oscar, but like you, I waited for it to take off but it never did. Still think best film was between Hidden Figures & Hacksaw Ridge.
 
Deepwater Horizon. What a good film. Good characterisation and engaging. The effects were excellent and the tension built up nicely. Don't know if there was any Hollywood licence on the event.

It's Hollywood; there's always licence, it's just the amount that varies……. ;)
 
Went to see Kong - Skull Island, today saw it in 2D, enjoyed it more than I thought I would, sit back, relax and try not to think too hard, remnants of previous King Kong movies with a few modern twists, excellent fight scenes (cgi) and sets it up well for the 2 follow on movies.
One other thing, remain seated until after the credits there's a little bit more movie! Hate it when they do that, thankfully my lad was aware!
 
Logan - decent film, bit darker and more of a story compared to the other X-Men films.
Quite gory, rated 15 and not surprised!
 
I enjoyed watching The Golden Years 2016, a gentle crime comedy with lots of the old British stars, like Virginia McKenna, Bernard Hill . Fun for the older generation.
