Reply With QuoteJason Bourne, decent film. Not up to the trilogy as the plot was tighter and more believable in the trilogy. There was more of a sense of urgency and drawing in to the story then this one. Still a watchable film.
Hacksaw Ridge - One of the best I've seen this year
Arrival - Also very good

I watched The Hateful Eight yesterday as an antidote to all the Christmas TV guff and really enjoyed it.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Jane Austin meets World War Z
Most of the books dialogue retained, gentile ladies trained in the martial arts, heaving bosoms, tight corsets and swords
A zombie apocalypse film for those with more refined tastes
Marvellous
I would like to see a Wuthering Heights version

Just watched Edge of tomorrow. Never watched it around its release as a few people said it wasn't up to much.
Really enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed Hell or High Water.........very simple premise, but great acting & characters.
Yes, it's far too good for a Tom Cruise film. Cheap shots aside, he actually isn't bad in it, and does a convincing turn as a coward. Plus, Emily Blunt.Originally Posted by sprite1275
Four of us went to see "Passengers" yesterday. Our consensus opinion: Pretty Good. Whomever created the sets and the special effects deserve Oscars!

Watched Fury again last night always a good watch with my home cinema kit. Wife does not think so though.
watched deep water horizon last night. A solid 9/10. Well worth a look.
We watched The Lady in the Van on Christmas Evening - really enjoyed it and it's on Iplayer for another 25 days.
Quite enjoyed watching 'The Accountant' last night.
Its the best Ben Affeck movie in a long time. He needed something to distract people from that shockingly bad Batman movie.
I enjoyed this too. I'm a fan of Jeff Bridges even though he kinda plays the same person in every movie. Chris Pine is good also.
I agree. I really enjoyed it. You would wonder if that sort of pressure (from the oil companies) is put on the guys normally or was it dramatised for the movie.
POSSIBLE SPOILER
I can imagine there's massive amounts of pressure from the big oil companies. I do think that it was possible simplified for the film though. Health and safety is the main player in these industries level with duty of care and carbon offset.
It must have been a horrific experience to part of though and I don't doubt for the sake of the families involved that some of the scenes have also been diluted.
Nice touch at the end to commemorate those that didn't make it.
Jungle Book. Stunning film. Bagheera is beautiful.
Personally only a 5/10, great special effects, but considering the events that followed the platform disaster, court cases, clean up, blame game, etc. etc. the film felt only half finished to me.
Fight Club
I just watched A Field in England
Stunning monochrome imagery, interesting and very different from the Hollywood fare.
Maybe not for everyone, but warrants a post here IMHO.

Another thumbs up for 'The Accountant'. Superb.
Same. Really enjoyed it.
Don't Breath is pretty good.
Just finished watching Shawshank Redemption (again). Never get tired of it.
Passengers is not bad.
Want to watch Suicide Squad
Watched Passengers today and really enjoyed it, not especially challenging but a decent way to spend a couple of hours. Found the 2 hrs ish flew by, the 2 leads were really good (lucky as they kind of had to carry the movie!) and the effects and sets looked stunning.

Today I watched a documentary film about Usain Bolt. Highly recommended.
And Bolt's watch box is featured in the film!

The Kingdom. Great film and the shoot-outs are well done
I watched A Prophet this morning. It was a very, very good film despite its 3+ hours run time. It is a French Film though so subtitles are present but you should never let that put you off a film in my experience.
Surprised by the opinions on the accountant. I thought average at best, with poor twists.
I enjoyed it for what it was, and ive watched it twice now and enjoyed the second time just as much.
It's just a matter of time...
I really liked suicide squad, not as funny as the laughs in Deadpool, but an easy entertaining watch.

Despite certain misgivings I watched the new version of Ghostbusters earlier this evening.
I liked it.
Not only did I find all of the women rather attractive, I thought it was funny and reverential to the original.
Just watched Deadpool, really enjoyed it.
Now watching 33 bit slow but good story line.
Watched 'Snatch' for the ... time. I really, really like that film.
Menno
Yes, this evening.
Nocturnal Animals. Very good
We watched it recently too, some great one liners and loved all the cameos from the original cast.
Rewatched Close encounters of the third kind again too, forgot how good it was.

Indeed, never tire of that film.

Watched Constantine (2005) last night, and I really liked this and would recommend it.
Watched Julieta by Pedro Almodovar last night. We both really enjoyed it, typically Almodovar.
I watched Girl on the Train with SWMBO last night. It isn't a classic, but a decent enough Sunday evening watch.
Watched The Magnificent 7 last night and enjoyed it, even the kids who spent all of the holidays delaying watching it enjoyed it.
Watched Suicide Squad a few days ago and loved it.
My kids are doing a Harry Potter back to back and am not enjoying that
Disappointment after the book IMHO
I gave this Tarantino western a go. Its over 3 hours long and the first couple of hours seem to be story line. I went from thinking I'm not liking this to wow, what a movie in the 3 hours. Its got some familiar faces in it and I would not want to have missed it. Cinematography is classic.
If you haven't seen it already I would urge everyone to watch The King of Comedy. It's a masterpiece.

I would also highly recommend Wag The Dog.

I downloaded the book a while ago and never read it. My bad. I can't read it now. Others I have spoken to have echoed what you've said though.
Watched Inside Man again last night - Great movie with Denzel and Clive Owen
[QUOTE=JasonM;4191370]Quite enjoyed watching 'The Accountant' last night.[/QUOTE,
I watched this last night after reading your scant review and you seriously undersold it. Great story, great acting especially Ben A, rather witty and a good ending. Made John Wick look a bit meh!
