13 minutes into "The Grand Budapest Hotel" on C4.

It's good. I like it.

Dr Strange. If you've seen more than 2 Marvel films then you've seen this. Cumberbatch is good though. 5/10

Sausage Party - Funny and what the F**k moments.

Excellent Movie.

Grimsby.

DearLord.

Anthropoid
Based on the story of the assassination of Reynhard Heydrich by British trained Czech resistance fighters in ww2..
A must if you're into your ww2 stuff.Brilliant performance by Cillian Murphy as the assassin.
Found it on kodi so wasn't a planned watch but a fucking excellent find.
thoroughly recommended.

Been watching Grimsby in about three separate watchings and barely about halfway through. It's fucking shit.

Everybody Wants Some (2016) 7/10

Painted up as somewhat of a sequel to Dazed and Confused - ah've never seen it, Beeky always meant to but will over the next few weeks. The story follows a college baseball team and their wild antics through the first few weeks of college - a bit like a two/three week freshers week/fraternity bash.

Very easy going, and quite funny at times. Lots of bants - if Americans do bants, and it's set the early 80s so every genre of popular music and fad is seen in the film when the lads go to parties.

A nice film, and definitely one to watch after a taxing day where you just want to watch something easy, and not follow 100 subtle plots.

Got 'The Witch' lined up and 'Supersonic' (Doc about Oasis) and 'Into The Inferno' (Doc about Volcano's by Herzog). Will report back.

Watch out for that naughty black goat.

Watched this last night ,an excellent film

Supersonic
A revealing look at the meteoric rise of seminal '90s rock band Oasis, weaving never-before-seen concert footage with candid interviews and a firsthand account of the backstage sibling rivalry that threatened to destroy the band.

'Dazed and Confused' is fantastic, Kevin. Can see why a somewhat of a sequel. D&C is set in the 70s, has the tunes and is set at the end of term. Will look for it.

The TV show Freaks and Geeks (now on Netflix) is in a similar vein to both, set in a Michigan high school in 1980.
Its not laugh out loud funny but entertaining enough.
It only lasted one season in 2000 but is probably as much known for all the people it gave their first big break to. Faces you see all over the place these days, for good or ill.
Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jason Segal, the gorgeous Linda Cardellini, Martin Starr. And it was the big break for producers Judd Apatow and Paul Feig too.
Worth a watch if there is fuck all else on.

Heard of but never seen, Bas. Will look out.

Saw The Accountant yesterday and thought it added up to a brilliant film. I'll get my coat.
Affleck's next one looks good too.

Inferno

Very much like the other films in the series. Does not deserve the slating it has been getting.

An ok film

Just started watch "Legend" with Tom Hardy and his brother, Tom Hardy.

Don't know if it's good yet.

The bloke playing the fatter, gay brother was great.

Didn't realise Paul Whitehouse was in it.

Wasn't bad at all.

Cheers for the heads up.

You had me until the bold bit.

Want to watch a good movie....then watch these and weep, weep with joy that you saw such a movie. Behold the wonder of this movie...I dare you....I double dare you and no onsises!! (or however you spell that...first time trying lol)

Watching Dirty Grandpa.

It's alright.

Syng Street 6/10

Set in the 80s. A Dublin teenager decided to start up a band at school to help both attract the attention of a girl in the year above, and to help deal with the stress of his parents breaking up. Cliched to say it, but like a family version of The Commitments. An interesting mix of songs throughout the film mimicking the different popular 80s genres. The film is alright, you will have seen this all before, and it passed the time quite pleasantly.

Terms of Endearment 8/10

Jack Nicholson plays a milder version of himself. I had never even heard of this before, but it has Shirley Maclaine, Jeff Daniels and Debra Winger in a drama/comedy. Whilst not ha ha funny, there are some laugh out loud moments and either I am becoming a crabbit auld bugger or comedy is indeed a lot worse these days. The film is quite moving too, and I thought especially Winger was very good in this - didn't seem to win an award though. A very good film.

One More Time 7/10

Christopher Walken plays an aging crooner on the comeback trail. He has a strained relationship with his youngest daughter played by Amber Heard - who looks like Lohan, Herd, Perry and Kirsten Stewart all rolled in to one in this. Heard ends up going back to live with him in the Hamptons after her own music career stalls and cannot pay her rent in New York City. An indie-luvie film, but pretty decent, not too much cheese, and some funny moments. Never really seen Heard act before (apart from that pisstake apology vid to Australia) but she was alright.
