What film did you watch last night?

...or mentioning in passing that the secret base's power plant is ever so slightly vulnerable and could go into overdrive/meltdown/hyperblast and destroy the entire secret island from which all dastardly deeds will be launched.

And no one noticed the thousands of workers and tons of concrete,steel, electronics, that it took to build said lair in a volcano.

Argo

Excellent film directed & starring Ben Affleck.

Bridge of spies. I always enjoy these cold war thrillers. Tom Hanks is at his best, but I suspect that many wont like a film with no action scenes.
7/10

I want to see this, but think I'll wait for the DVD release

Last two episodes of Jessica Jones... great stuff. Hope they leave it there and don't bother with another seven series.

Cleanskin..Sean Bean...hmmm

Watched The Count of Monte Cristo (200) today. I read the book earlier this year and recorded the film a couple of months ago. Thoroughly enjoyable, and recognised quite a few places from around Malta, where much of it was filmed.

Cleanskin..Sean Bean...hmmm

Sean Bean always dies....

Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Felt like I was a kid again watching Star Wars for the first time... but only because this is almost an exact carbon copy of the original. Same plot, same characters, same everything. Bring back George Lucas!

That's how it's supposed to be. The three trilogies are essentially the same story told through different generations of characters.

Went to see it this afternoon... yup.. the plot was very familiar, but that didn't stop it from being a very enjoyable movie. Can't think of anything i hated about it (unlike that 90s trilogy of prequels... those disasters demonstrate that George Lucas should stay well away!!)

...Bring back George Lucas!

Or, as anyone who's biding their time before watching the latest instalment, memories of the prequels uppermost in their minds might say, "Keep George Lucas as far away from this as you can."

Anyroad, I watched "It Follows".

I liked it a lot - some lovely cinematography, an interesting premise, and all rather well executed

Spoiler

I really like the idea of the creature/revenant/whatever the hell it is being a more or less normal person just plodding towards you, a conceit that has you watching the frame nervously throughout

.

I also finally got around to the "The Guard", which is bloody great.

Star Wars. Daisy was very good but to tell the truth I was more excited about the trailer for London Has Fallen cos Big Ben falls over sideways and explodes.

Watched life of Pi last night for the first time.

Was brilliant. Loved it.

Bride Wars was on this afternoon, I had to watch it just in case there was a single laugh....... There wasn't. I'll give it 1, only because I have never seen a 0 (apologies to Clint Eastwood for trashing one of his film quotes)
