Brad Pitt was surprisingly good in The Assassination of Jesse James. The dialogue was a bit mumbled in places but it's a well crafted film with good cinematography and well worth watching.
Loved every superhero second of Civil War, breath of fresh air after BvS.
Zoolander 2 was bloody awful, really enjoyed the first one but this one didn't even raise a smile.
Would have enjoyed 10 Cloverfield lane a lot more if it had finished 10mins earlier,the ending seemed tacked on due to the title.
Just watched Defiance on Netflix about the Belarussian Jews being forced to survive in the forest for three years following the Nazi purge in 1941. It's got mixed reviews but I enjoyed it.
Re-watched Moneyball recently
Excellent film, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill showing why they're 2 of the best actors in Hollywood
A few more to add having re-watched these this week...
"Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" (Nic Cage actually amazing again and perfectly cast)
"Mud" (One of my favourite films from the past few years)
"Behind the Candelabra" (Michael Douglas plays Liberace. Feels like a modern day re-working of Pictures of Dorian Gray. Not a film for homophobes)
I want to see that Louis thing! Is it out yet? Is this going to cinemas or TV?
About time someone exposed that Mafiosa Ponzi sceme that is Scientology.
On that point add "The Master" to this list. It will bore some people but I thought it was amazing.
Just looked it up. It's a Cannes now which means distributors will be buying the rights this week. Could be a while before it comes out if they want to go for the Oscar...
Trumbo is pretty good and worth a watch. Bryan Cranston is brilliant as usual.
Cheers Richy. Never heard of "Going Clear". Looks brilliant.
Haven't seen Trumbo but have seen many of the films Dalton Trumbo wrote under aliases. Crazy how many films he actually had on his CV. His is the most telling story of how right wingers in the US killed off socialism for good via the McArthy witch list.
No prob. Going Clear is very good. They talk to some high profile ex-members so it is very enlightening. Enjoyed The Master too.
Re: Trumbo. I didn't know a lot about the McCarthy blacklist before watching so it was a bit of an education for me. It was interesting to see the roles big Hollywood heavyweights like John Wayne and Edward G. Robinson had in the whole sorry affair.
Miss Bala on Netflix starring the gorgeous Stephanie Sigman. I'm disappointed the colonel hasn't posted some artistic photos of Ms Sigman. It's about a beauty pageant girl getting embroiled with Mexican drug barons. After an unconvincing start it's alright if only for the sight of Sigman.

Went to watch green room at the cinema last night. Pretty good - worth a watch.

Re-watched this classic the other night. Still great. Still funny.

Watched Platoon recently, brilliant film and deserves its Oscar
It does a great job showing the immense physical and psychological trauma those men went through, as well as the divisions within the American army at the time and, unlike many American war films, paints America in quite a bad light and poses the question of what's right and what's wrong
Watched Captain America Civil War, thought it was really good.
Watched the perfect host last night, a very good black comedy/thriller. Stand-out performance by David Hyde Pierce.
Here's the trailer, but I recommend going into it blind.

The full film is available on youtube too! :thumbup:
Race. Jesse Owens life story.
I watched it last night and I thought it was an excellent film.
Need to see Race. It looks a bit too cheesy but it's a great story.
You should check out my absolute favourite documentary if you like that story. "The Unforgivable Blackness". It's about one of the greatest heavyweight champs Jack Johnson. An incredible story and an incredible film. I had to import a DVD from the US. Not sure if you can get it online anywhere. But appropriate viewing on the day of the death of another colossus of the sport.
Saw mustang the other day Turkish film - thought it was worth a mention on here!
Not a film as such but watched 'Reg' last night on bbc1.
Drama by Jimmy McGovern based on the true story of Reg Keys, who took on the British prime minister over Britain's participation in the Iraq War.
Starring Tim Roth but great performances all round. Available on I Player for 29 days.

Missed that but heard good things about it, will give it a spin.
Completely different,but watched Speed with my 11yo, first time he had seen it.
He was perched on the edge of his seat the whole way through. It really stands up well, not seen it myself for many years and was surprised how much i was invested in it.
Seen The Nice Guys last night after seeing good reviews online and it didn't disappoint.
Entertaining from start 'til end.
Watched 'STARRED UP' last night on Film 4. A british prison film starring Jack O'Connell who played the lead in '71.

Currently watching a netflix series called the killing, finished the 2nd series last night will start the 3rd series tonight.
Watched 'SLEEPERS' last night. Released in 1996,but still a hard hitting film. Starring Kevin Bacon, Robert De Niro, Jason Patric.
Four boys growing up in Hell's Kitchen play a prank that leads to an old man getting hurt. Sentenced to no less than one year in the Wilkenson Center in upstate New York, the four friends are changed by the beating, humiliation and sexual abuse by the guards sworn to protect them. Thirteen years later and a chance meeting lead to a chance for revenge against the Wilkenson Center and the guards.
