Watched Brooklyn the other night. Fairly decent movie although predictable ending for me.

Watched the Big Short last night. Interesting but a little hard to follow at times.

I enjoyed Brooklyn the ending was a little simplistic, there would have been more consequences. Still it was very pleasant viewing

We watched True Grit last night, the Coen Brothers version and it was excellent.

Krampus

Quite an enjoyable Chritmas time comedy horror romp- I was trying to think what I could liken it to. A Christmas version of Chuckie meets Tremors meets The Evil Dead thrown in to scare the bad girls and boys. And why not?

It's a

I watched one of the dumbest movies ever on netflix today. Mostly out of curiosity since it had 1 star..... Hot Bot.. Oh how can some of these movies get made?

Didnt have any super stars in it, but did have some recognizable actors which I wasnt expecting but I guess if an actor a job os a job.

I dont reccomend it unless you just want to waste some time.

I think that the clue was in the title JS - what were you expecting? You naughty little scamp!

Meanwhile I watched The Visit- a thriller with a smidge of horror - some use of video footage but not loads- yep- I reckon another

I don't know how you can watch so many films. I get terribly bored and they rarely hold my attention. Even the few times I took HID to the pictures when we first started dating, I invariably got up halfway through and went and played video games in the lobby.

I surf the net on the phone, walk around and so onm I cannot sit straight through a movie and why I avoid theaters. I get anxious and want to leave 45 minutes into the movie...lol

If I take the fancy medication the doctor prescribed to keep me focused then I can no issie but then I cant sleep so I rarely use the med. Its prescribed as needed and not daily.

Our local cinema has thoughtfully put a proper bar in it, so I'll take HID there, then if the film is rubbish, I'll just wait for her while having a few cheeky pints.

Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces.

Deleted or extended scenes from Fire Walk With Me.

I think it would have been a better idea to have released a "director's cut" rather than just missing scenes. A couple were simply stunning but it's so long ago since I saw either the series or 'Fire' that there really was no context.

I had zero recollection of David Bowie's character speaking with that American voice.

Looking forward to the new series next year.

I gave up on it. I find it very difficult watching things that have jerky and jumpy camera movements.

Great film the big short and a true story

Watched "Remember" last night, starring Christopher Plummer, what a great film that was. And a Canadian film too.

I like Bruce Willis but has he ever been in such a bad movie as Extraction?
