7 pounds is one of the most moving films I've ever watched.

50/50 was also very good.
I'll have to check out the intouchables.

I really enjoyed it, wouldn't surprise me if the lead female actress gets nominated for an Oscar.

Watched it last night. Really liked it. Dark humour, funny, sad. Excellent characters

Re: Movies - 2018 Strikes Back

We did too but bothered by the plot hole, or at least what I deemed a plot hole, but enjoyed it.

There were a number of things that I felt wouldn't play out "like that" like

Spoiler:

But then, in real life there's Trump's mate Sheriff Joe (or whatever his name is) and that doesn't seem realistic.

I did some googling and there seems to be a lot of unease about the gift shop scene.

Spoiler:

I thought of it as a device more than a hole.

Spoiler:

Or was it something else?

Re: Movies - 2018 Strikes Back

This movie is one of my all time favourites. It is subtitled, but so so good.

Incendies (2010) - IMDb

Be careful you don't read the spoilers in the reviews.

+1. I've praised this one before. Absolutely brilliant.

Re: Movies - 2018 Strikes Back

I have just finished watching this South Korean 'trilogy' which I really enjoyed.

The old boy ending was a WTF moment, how do the writers have so much imagination?
