finally watched The Imitation Game last night, really enjoyed it and made me g@@gle and read about something I had little knowledge of beforehand..

brilliance.

First time of seeing Black Hawk Down with eldest - pretty awesome (9/10)

Fatfingers

I watched Prometheus, last night. Well half of it, actually. 

Dreadful.

A Night at the Opera. Still good, after all this time.

HAL9000

The Martian. Bit too Hollywood for me but still very good. Pretty faithful to the book too.

Having previously seen Saving Private Ryan and Interstellar, I am staggered by how much money the US taxpayer must have spent over the years just on rescuing Matt Damon. He certainly shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a spacesuit in future - it will only end badly.

Pan.

Stunning.

Skipped

Just watched Self/less and thought it was wonderful entertainment.
Cannot remember such a huge gap between my rating of a film (I will say 7.5) and the rating in Rotten Tomatoes (20%). IMDb rating is 6.5.

It is not perfect (just a few wooden lines from the cast including the first appearance on screen of the child actress). But the pace is relentless.

Brilliant just brilliant.

Sibelius

Sherrybaby

Gritty drama about a drug addict whos just been released from prison. Really good

The Lavender Hill Mob.

Still brilliant. Easy 9/10

HAL9000

^ This. Not for the squeamish, the faint-hearted, people who can't stand the sight of blood, etc. But absolutely gripping.

Ant Man. Not quite the A-list of Marvel stuff, but actually very enjoyable, and a few good jokes to boot. 7.5/10

Am I missing an intermediate post there?

Mad Max Fury Road.

Made it to fifty eight minutes and turned it off.Utter pants and so disappointing.

Not recommended.

HAL9000

Jumpers for Goalposts. The Ed Sheeran Wembley concert movie. Must admit I'm not a great fan of his music, but was still a fascinating film. Essentially he plays Wembley solo using just a looper to layer up the sounds. Kept the crowds entertained. Comes across as a genuine nice guy.
