What film did you watch last night?

You have my sympathies.

Well the funny thing is I saw it at an imax theatre and thought it was OK. Then I watched it a 2ñd time and felt sorry for Sandra bullock.

I will stay away her movies now (same with Liam Neeson movies).

Blue Jasmine. A pervy Allen film. Cate Blanchette, Sally Hawkins and Alec Baldwin star. Blanchette is falling apart following her fall from grace as a New York socialite, she moves into to her sisters apartment and proceeds to feck her life about too. The scenes dart back and forth from the NY highlife to present day. Pretty good with some typical WA dialogue and cringing snobbery moments.

I quite like Liam Neeson's action movie stuff, it's functional. Sandra Bullock is awful though, she can only play Sandra Bullock, Gravity was appalling.

I'm excited about the new Bond film, trailers look great, gonna go next week. Yay!

Watched War of the Worlds (1953) earlier. God the acting is so hammy, but good fun and my friend's little girl was a bit scared, haha, bless.

Unthinkable, Amazon Prime (Had no theatrical release)

Samuel L Jackson, Carrie Ann Moss, Michael Sheen

Very good drama on the torture dilemma, with the whole cast on form.

None of the many issues raised are truly resolved, but it is thought provoking.

Highly Recommended.

Terminator: time bandits - or whatever the latest Terminator film is called. Better than feared. I'll give it 4/5 from a fans perspective.

The Good Sheperd

I can't understand the critic ratings of this movie. It's great.

Rush

I don't know motor racing from a hole in the ground, so I've no idea whether this was a fair portrayal of Hunt and Lauda and their rivalry, but a very good film nonetheless. I'm unsure whether the most appropriate double bill would be with Senna, or with one of the Fast and Furious films (the latter because of the similarities in the way the driving is filmed).

Anyway, it's jolly good, and free to stream on Amazon Prime, if you didn't catch it on Film4 recently.

Not a film... but an episode of Jimmy McGovern's 'Accused'. As with every other episode of this, and The Street, it's a faultless, thought provoking and gripping drama that blows most modern movies out of the water.

Saw the best film I've seen in a while last night. It was 'Whiplash', a movie about a drummer with an obsession about being the next Buddy Rich and is at a very prestigious music school in New York. They have a particularly odious teacher (JK Rowlands winning the Oscar) who demands the best from them and belittles and physically beats his pupils who are only too pleased to comply with his demands. A very, very good film which gets out of ten where six is the highest, 6/10.

It is a good film, but it left me feeling like it was glorifying bullying since the tutor's harsh methods delivered in the end and the viewer is supposed to think 'Yay!'.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. I enjoyed it muchly!

A Most Wanted Man, Phillip Seymour Hoffman stars in this rather rambling spy thriller, it's got a two star rating on Netflix which generally means it's going to be pretty good, which it was.

Human Centipede 3 - 3/10

The most offensive thing about this trilogy is that it really isn't very good. It's a disgusting concept which has real potential, but so poorly realised that the horror comes across as comical, rather than perverse. The second film is easily the most awful but that seems to have happened more by accident than design.
