Book of Eli - Denzel Washington - took two attempts to watch it all the way through - a bit of a duff Mad Max type film. Watchable. 4/10

 

Green Zone - Matt Damon - enjoyed it, always like films based out in Middle East, etc. 7/10

 

Planet 51 - was enjoying it til I nodded off, kids liked it - must be good. 6/10

 

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - see above - 6/10

 

Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon/Robin Williams - look, there was fook all else on this Saturday just gone, never seen it before - quite enjoyed - the scene were Robin Williams was going on about his late wife farting in bed had me in tears - half decent. Oh, and Minnie Driver looked far better than I can ever remember. 7/10

 

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its Swedish so no famous actors/actresses - great thriller - didn't bother me that it was in subtitles great revenge scene on the pervy Probation Officer- looking forward to the 2nd in the trilogy in the next week or so - well worth the watch and highly recommended. 9/10

 

That's me, Jonathan Woss, over and out.

Proper grim / edgy scenes when they get pulled over in the car

 

Not as grim as the opening credits with those totally nude, morbidly obese dancing women. Mind, some off here would no doubt find em highly attractive

Took t'lad to watch Lego Batman. Actually pretty funny at times, quite enjoyed it.

Took my lad yesterday, loved it, plenty nods to the old films and series, ''twas really good!

Jack Reacher ,Never go Back.

Better than the first one.

Plus Tom Cruise is more convincing.

If you read the books , Reacher is about 6ft 5" and built like an outhouse.

Taking mine tomorrow afternoon.

I'm more excited than he is.

I was horrified when they cast him as Reacher, and I've not been a fan of the films at all!

'Bone Tomahawk' (2015), a good dash of the old ultraviolence in a Western setting.

 

Also watched 'Hunger' (2008) for the first time yesterday about the IRA hunger strike. Pretty grim re-telling of life inside the H-Blocks, with fairly minimal dialogue.

Predator 4 began filming today. It's gonna be good.





Hopefully.

Just back from Batman.

 

Loved it and the 4yr old did too.

Patriot's Day - 8/10. Enjoyable.

Though I do wonder how the US would make a similar film about the car bombs that go off on a weekly basis in Baghdad, etc.

Going pics tomorrow can't decide between Lion & John Wick 2

(going with the missus)

Sully 7.5/10. Another true story - enjoyed.

Lion was brilliant. Can't remember if I've mentioned Hodden Figures, but loved that too.

Bone Tomahawk 7/10. Slower burner thats gruesome in parts.

Loving my true stories. After watching Jaws at Christmas, thought I'd look up to see if any films about the USS Indianapolis. Wasn't disappointed as there happened to be a new film released last year with Nicolas Cage.

 

Watched it last night. Story was okay (it was true). Dialogue was pretty average. Special effects were poor.

 

5/10.

Deepwater Horizon 5/10. OK but nowt more.

Watched all is lost last night.

Not a new film but nevertheless interesting.

Don't bother if you like a good script though!

Deepwater Horizon 5/10. OK but nowt more.

Were all the 'baddies' British?

No, all American. The film suggests BP did put pressure on them as they were 45 days behind schedule. But there are more qualified people on this forum to say whether or not that is correct.

Just watched Patriots Day. Not the jingoistic piece I expected. Brilliant 9/10. 

 

How that  American converted muslim bitch of a wife of the bomber is still at liberty is a complete mystery. She refused to cooperate and denied any knowledge, even though the bomb factory  that they used to make a plethora of different bombs over days took up most of her 4ft x 4ft kitchen where she prepared meals three times  day for her bomber husband, his brother and her child.

 

Another win for the lawyers!

John Wick 9/10

Lego Batman tomorrow with the eldest. 10/10 in terms of my expectations

London has Fallen. Watched this in a few stages whilst watching the football scores. Fucking dogshit of a film. 2/10.

Lego Batman tomorrow with the eldest. 10/10 in terms of my expectations

The lad has demanded this everytime we've been in the car since monday.

We've had 'who's the batman' on constant rotation.

 

As far as the film goes it was good, but not in the same league as The Lego Movie.
