The Young Offenders
Two Cork schoolboys hear of a load of cocaine being washed ashore so they steal bikes and cycle 100 miles to try and get it. Part "Gregory's Girl", part "Restless Natives", there's some great moments - especially the scene where a bike thief thinks it's a good idea to re-enact the Heat restaurant scene between Pacino & De Niro.
Had me grinning throughout - available on Netflix

I'm still grinning the morning after watching it.
"That's seven million Euros! Do you know how many zeros there are after seven million?"
"Hundreds"
"'Tousands!"

Going off the adverts I really don't know what they've done with this film. Going from affable buffoon and fun to DEAD SERIOUS AND DANGER makes no sense to me.
A street cat called Bob
It was really rather average.
I don't get how he became such a "thing" , prior to hearing about the film I'd never seen so much as a snippet of a busker with a cat anywhere on social media.
Not a lot really happened.
Youngest daughter missed it and came in at the end and announced there was no point her watching it as she knew how it ended - he sings with a cat. Yup. Pretty much the whole film.

Watched Foxcatcher, which I've had recorded for a while. Really very good, intense, but a great watch. Steve Carrell does a great job in a straight role.
I watched Die Hard with a Vengence after as it was on BBC1. Having never seen it before, it was a good 'switch off' before bed.

They Live. John Carpenter's classic 1988 sci-fi satire about free-market capitalism and subliminal control featuring one of the craziest fight scenes over a pair of sunglasses in cinematic history. The message in the film of the illusion of Western "freedom" is as relevant now as it was in 1988 when it was a critique of Reaganomics and Objectivism. Picked up a copy on Blu-ray from my local supermarket for £6!
8/10

Fantastic tracking shot in the denouement as well.

It's included as an extra on the Die Hard 4.0 DVD, along with an interview with the band.

I'm a Cyborg (But that's Okay)
A lovely little film about a young woman who believes that she is a cyborg. She's committed to a psychiatric hospital, and stops eating - at which point, another patient (a kleptomanic young man who believes (as do the other patients) that he can steal characteristics as well as things) sets out to help her, using the idiosyncracies of the other patients and his ingenuity not to cure her, but to make her illness something that she can live with.

The Glimmer Man.
"This film contains scenes of extreme violence and bad language from the start", said the TV as I flicked through the channels. That was enough for me to stop there and watch intently.
Pretty much identikit Steven Segal fare, although this dates from the period where his waistline wasntnso big it had spacecraft in orbit around it.
Pretty good fisticuffs, ruined by typical lack or plot and cars that explode the moment they have a slight parking ding.
3/10. Not the worst he's ever done, but barely worth missing Newsnight to watch.
