A.A. Milne's boy grows up to be Ewan McGregor as a dull luggage-company manager... and accidentally rediscovers Winnie-The-Pooh and his friends.
Predictable family film, with the usual slightly improbable overly-breathless plot and Mark Gatiss as the cardboard baddie, heartwarming happy ending and moral to the story - but actually quite enjoyable. The old characters are very well done, with some great one-liners and genuine laugh-out-loud moments, and it's not overly long unlike a lot of modern adaptations.
7/10
And Xi Jinping should let it be seen in China - this version of Pooh is nothing like him and really doesn't look much like the old Disney one, although all the characters have more or less their classic Disney voices.

I've just thoroughly enjoyed the Film Crossroads. An entertaining film with a very satisfying (and riveting) ending.
Though, unfortunately, I sat through a film of the same name starring Britney Spears first. Britney was ok but oh! the film... :-(
Movie tie in Bumblebee toy purchased as well of course...which takes me ages to transform!
On Christmas Day MrsTheWeary watched A Christmas Carol ( old black and white version), the kids watched A Muppet's Christmas Carol. The only TV I wanted to watch was Upstart Crow which turned out to be based on A Christmas Carol.
I am quite familiar with the basic plot line now.
it is not a good film. However it is a hugely entertaining one with lots of little nods to Jaws.
it was great.

Hmmm... nowhere near as good as Fantastic Beasts, because it's trying far too hard to be a Harry Potter prequel instead of something related but different. I actually liked Fantastic Beasts because it *wasn't* too Harry Potter - I'm not a big fan really. This has so much setting up for the next installment(s) in J.K. Rowling's licence to print money that it just about collapses under the tangle of all the multiple threads of forward continuity it's trying to spin.
Jude Law is good, Johnny Depp is at least not quite Captain Jack Sparrow this time, but apart from that I just thought it was all much too forced. Even Eddie Redmayne seems to have forgotten how to act.
4/10
(If you wonder why I went to see it when I'm not a Harry Potter fan... kids . But they didn't think it was that good either.)

Small, rural American town, father of the family starts to dream about upcoming apocalypse - decides to build a shelter to save the close ones.
Great feel, both - Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain - on top of their game. Well recommended.
