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.

Fighting With My Family

Far better than I expected and I certainly wouldn’t say you need to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it. 

Instant Family

A lot more heartfelt than I was expecting but had it’s funny moments as well. 7/10

Finally watched the Revenant, thought it was ace.

Fisherman’s Friend

Glad to finally get it out of the way as it seems the trailers have been shown before every film I’ve seen for the last 6 months. Not the most dramatic of films but I enjoyed it all the same.

Us

Very good. Quite different.

Lion on Netflix, enjoyed it immensely. Good story, captivating stuff. 

The Keeper

For some reason it isn’t being shown at Leigh or Bolton so had to watch it at St Helens, but well worth the effort. 8/10 

Highwaymen on Netflix, was supposed to be well rated.

Slow, boring and a bit shit

5.5/10

The Chris Sievey /Frank Sidebottom film.  Surprisingly very good

Shazam

Not usually in to the comic book films but quite enjoyed it, had its funny moments. 7/10

Right up my street this, intriguing stuff.

Well worth a watch, if only to laugh at how fucking numb they portray Dubya.

8/10

 

The Dawn Wall on Netflix. 8/10. Gripping stuff.

Triple Frontier.....complete load of crap, liked the idea of it but the Film is bobbins

I watched that on a plane the other week but it said some stuff was cut out of it. (Footage of planes flying into towers maybe?) I enjoyed it, Bale is just something else isn't he. Method acting mentalist!

They need to do a follow up to Nightcrawler.

Stan and Ollie on sky from tomorrow 

The Drop - James Gandolfini's last film.

I was just flicking channels and settled on this (Film 4) and was glad I did.

Expecting a 'needs subtitles on, volume on 40' mumblefest with Tom Hardy and a European director but it was a really good, clear and understated performance.

8/10

Oh aye, I rewatched Blue Ruin t'other week - another good, low budget slow burner revenge film that I'd recommend.

8/10.
