Jungle Book 2016.  Got a freebie from Sky and couldn't decide between the family what to watch and this was the compromise.  I thought I would spend the evening half an eye on the to whilst messing around on my iPad. However.  The film was really good - CGI with a decent storyline. Thoroughly enjoyed it ...8/10.
 then.... 
A few hrs later watched The Drop.  TOm Hardy and James Gandolphini chewing up the scenery.  8/10 again

Passengers.  So many plot holes it could be Swiss cheese. Still it looked good.

Saw Sully yesterday - bloody loved it. But then I love planes and Tom Hanks is just awesome so what's not to like!

"Autopsy of Jane Doe" with Brian Cox and Emile Hirsh. 
Pretty good thriller/horror. It'd be your typical class B movie if not for decent acting and slightly different angle on paranormal/witchcraft subject. 
Not bad 6/10

Rogue One

loved it…. awesome film

I watched Absolutely Fabulous the movie the other evening and it was terrible. It's a shame because they had all the right ingredients to hand but it had such a lame plot and not at all funny.

Rogue One

Best Star Wars film since The Empire Strikes Back.

That is all.

Deadpool. 

Didnt love it but it kept me engaged, superhero films tend to bore me and it didn't do that.Morena Baccarin still the most gorgeous woman on the planet, that helped.

Just watched "Nocturnal Animals". Dark and brooding, really interesting narrative devices and great performances!

Victor Frankenstein
Tomorrowland: A World Beyond

Both, as far as I know, got bad reviews and tanked at the box office.  But I liked them both very much, especially Tomorrowland.

I thought Tomorrowland was excellent too - although I can see why it didn't do well, as it was possibly a bit too deep for a kids' film and not enough for an adult one - Hugh Laurie wasn't quite the right baddie either.

Haven't seen Victor Frankenstein but I will now look for it on DVD...

The Hateful Eight. Again.

Mrsf hadn't seen it, but I was happy to watch it again. I really like it.

Don't expect too much, but it's a refreshingly different take on the story (even though the plot is full of holes if you stop to think about it).  It's all a bit frantic and some of the performances - especially McAvoy's - are well over the top but it looks good and feels nicely British, despite being Hollywood-funded.

I need to watch Tomorrowland again I think. I saw it on a long haul flight and just didn't get it all, but then it was the middle of the night and there were lots of interruptions.

Rogue One. Loved it. 

Searching For Sugarman. Seen it before, absolutely love it. Best documentary ever? Probably.

I recommend "Story of O.J." and "Going Clear: Scientology" both produced by HBO. 

"Sugar..." though- great story and doc.

EricTheWeary

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. 

Just goes on too long although some of the set pieces are exciting.

Autopsy of Jame Doe, made me jump a few times, only 2 main characters, who kept the suspense going throughout, Quality actorage from Cox.  I pretty much predicted the ending, but worth a watch...7/10
