And I've got through some boring books, I can tell you.
Lets hope this is Liam’s ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’
EDIT - was a good one thankfully , set in Ireland in 1974 , loads of nice scenery , no silly stereotypes , great cast too. I won’t spoil the story but it’s classic Neeson but toned down
I like Simon Pegg and Rosamund Pyke so was surprised I'd never heard of this 2014 film before.
The first 20 minutes is a bit of a mess as he makes his decision to leave the lovely Rosamund and travel abroad to find what 'happiness' is. It all seems a bit unlikely. Plus, it appeared to be more of a comedy style, which with Simon Pegg in, was expected, but it failed, it just wasn't funny and I nearly turned it off.
But when he went travelling it became a whole lot better. His serious scenes shone through (although the comedy attempts were all still lame).
The Christopher Plummer scenes towards the end were a bit daft too, but overall I enjoyed the film and would watch it again. In fact, I actually have a feeling it could become a favourite after a few viewings.

I saw it last about 10 years ago and I remembered it being 'bigger' when I saw it in 1964.
.That sounds like a challenge :-)
A slight twist on the usual tried 'n' tested Saw plotline. Against all expectations I really enjoyed this, but be warned - it's extremely gory even by the standards of previous outings.
6/10
I must be one of the rare fans of the genre who finds Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' tedious as well.
Brutal take down of the ultra wealthy on a luxury cruise until ... well I don't want to spoil it...
Woody Harrelson stars.
sample scene - the rich lady being poured champagne in the hot tub whilst she tells the crew member "y'know ...we're all equal aren't we...".
Highly recommended.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
I had a similar experience with John Fowles' The Magus. I was enraptured by it when I was twenty-three, but at forty-eight, I thought it was no more than very good. I think in some ways it's a young person's (man's?) book.
I should really try The Malayan Trilogy again - I know I still have Time For A Tiger lurking around the house somewhere. It's a lot more digestible. I have a signed hardcopy edition copy of You've Had Your Time too.
Adam Sandler, Netflix.
Absolutely pointless film with next-to-no actual plot and even less point.
Avoid.
