I couldn't get on with The Expanse. To get my sci-fi fix over the holidays I was watching a bit of Defiance, which is ok but a bit wobbly and low budget.
Then I rediscovered Misfits, which is still funny, and it's quite interesting to see how many up and coming british actors have walk-on parts in it.

Yep - bit of a weepy. Very pretty visually and loved Neeson but overall a bit obvious. Kids liked it.

Loved LaLaLand. Just the feelgood tonic needed these days. Not a fan of the bug-eyed Miss Stone generally, but she was good in this.

I really liked AMC; again it knows where it's going. Last 15 minutes were pretty brutal to watch.

I can't be the only one who was bored throughout most of Silence?

Hunt for the wilderpeople. Get on it. Most enjoyable

Its on Netflix ATM, will give it a crack.

Off to see LaLaLand later

January the 8th 2016 is Roy Batty's Incept Date.

You know, from that film.

Agreed. Best film of 2016 for me.

Saw Arrival yesterday it was excellent

Baskin. been meaning to watch it for a while and it was on the mongbox late last night. don't expect an american remake for reasons that'll become obvious if you watch it.

7/5

La La Land is magical.

Enjoyed it a lot.

Fire city end of days, usual indie film problems of so so effects bit confusing at the start but solid effort. If the premise attracts you give it a watch :)

Saw Manchester By the Sea last night, perfect film if you're a fan of grieving. Can kind of see why Affleck is getting the praise he is but it's not a film to judge on it's trailer, was surprised by the amount of humour. Also lack of Michelle Williams character is a bit disappointing when you look at the whole story.

Jackie. meh. Much as I love Natalie Portman, the accent, however accurate, is grating and it has possibly the worst soundtrack I have ever heard in a film.

Totally enjoyable. Cheers for the heads up.

La La Land is everything I wanted it to be and then some. An absolute fucking belter of a film.

Thanks for the recomendation relly enjoyed it. Music is good too.

Eddie the Eagle on nflix...
The perfect movie

Dexter Fletcher is the British Ron Howard.

Hunt for the wilderpeople. Another vote for this, really charming.

Thirteenth - how fucked is the USA they have 5% of the worlds population yet 25% of the world's prisoners.

Blacks make up 6.5% of US population but over 40% of the prison population.

i watched that the other week mind boggling and disturbing, Prison is a business, the american dream.

Just watched this. It's brilliant. I was in tears almost constantly.

Hidden Figures & Snowden - both have a good story to tell and do it well in an endearing way, worthwhile watches

Wilderpeople is majestical
