I'm watching that at the moment. Still making my mind up. It's faster paced than the first one though which is good.
What film did you watch last night?

There's another couple of equally excellent films by the same ensemble cast and director: City of Lost Children, and the slightly more straightforward Mic Macs.
(post now in right place, as my first attempt replied to a Mad Max comment, and hence would have made no sense at all)

American sniper 2/5
the film itself was not all that good, overhyped, a bit dull, lacking.

CREED 3.5/5
not bad, not overly dramatic, just lacked the edge. But not too bad from one of my favourite series.

The Night Manager on iplayer. The villains were laughable cartoon caricatures, but it was quite fun. I had a terrible suspicion that the Egyptian mistress wasn't going to make it past the first episode, rather like the Russian wife in an earlier LeCarre offering who befriended Ricki Tarr in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Excellent film
...as are all his others; Amelie, A Very Long Engagement, City of Lost Children, Micmacs and Alien Resurrection (being the least good, and possibly even a bit crap)... and there's one which passed me by... The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet. Must find that... looks good.
If you like this sort of thing, I can also recommend The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc Sec... it's by Luc Besson... but Besson definitely put his Junet hat on for this film.

Philomena.
Wonderful portrayal by Judi and for once Coogan was good (he's so rubbish with his "funny"
stuff).

I met someone who worked on Philomena on holiday. She was quite boring and a little irritating, much like the film I thought.
4/10 for me.

The Martian. Very good, but in a quietly absorbing way.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this seeing as Tom Cruise is about 2 feet too short to play Jack Reacher.
The bathroom fight scene was particularly well done. A 'laugh out loud' moment.
I always pictured Ray Stevenson as Jack Reacher when reading the novels.

Easy money 3
4/5
Swedish film, on iplayer.
I first watched this series a few month ago as again was on iplayer. I was reasonably impressed, as so iplayer decided to upload the other two.
the scoring maybe slightly high though the dark, gritty shots was great camera work, I like the darkness to films. It does get cheesy as in over the top Hollywood shootouts but watching the films still great great viewing pleasure to me.
The story needs to be watched from the 1st to the rd.
