Watched Trainspotting 2 last night, thought it was a bit of a let down really, not a patch on the original. 6/10

 

The soundtrack, like the first one, is spot on though

not seen it yet but this is my fear

 

Love the first one si will probably tell myself the second is a belter, even if it's not

I really enjoyed it, had to be a different film to the original and it is. Found it piss funny in places and quite poignant in others, its about getting older and contemplating what you've done with your life, struck a chord for me.

La La Land. 7.5/10. Enjoyable and good performances by Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. However, for the first 20 minutes I wondered what the fuck I had come to see!

Went, reluctantly, with the wife on Friday to earn some brownie points so I could watch the football/cricket today.

The audience was 90% women with the remaining 10% blokes like me dragged along for whatever reason.

I actually really liked it.

Split....not bad, could have been a lot better tho, weird ending. Also watched Hidden Figures, which is excellent, about three coloured women in the early days of NASA.

Really enjoyed Hidden Figures. A good story.

 

Wife gave it 10/10

Went to see it last night. Enjoyed it. But wasn't blown away. Some funny scenes.

 

Did Mrs Sweep get the strap-on out when you got home?

Loved the first but think this may have to be a renter rather than a popcorn chucker :)

Started watching titanic again last night- lad has never seen it and he's interested in the history of it.

 

What I didn't remember though is what a fine pair on norks Kate winslet has. Proper curves.

One of my all time favourites her. And she looks superb in that film

Watched the documentary by Aussie journalist Michael Ware re the Iraq War and the consequences.........................Only The Dead.

 

Ware was chosen by that twat Al-Zarqawi to convey his Jihad message to the West.

 

 

Very good viewing, well worth watching.

Hacksaw Ridge 9/10. No one does realism like Mel Gibson. Wife in tears at the end. Would have cleaned up at the oscars if it weren't Mel Gibson directing.

Though reading this seems Gibson recreated the ridge somewhat differently to what it was actually like

Interesting article.

 

Perhaps I should have wrote "No-one portrays the brutality of conflict or torture like Gibson". I liked the way he included the interviews with the US vets who fought there.
