Austrian thriller about a Turkish-immigrant taxi driver (and Thai boxer) who finds herself the target of a killer when she witnesses a murder. Starts out quite grim and dark but the mood gets strangely lighter as the film introduces a series of increasingly eccentric characters. Not brilliant, but I enjoyed it.
On Shudder.
Is that the one where Tak Sakaguchi works his way through a forest and single-handedly defeats about 150 opponents (one or two at a time, obviously). I got so bored during that scene I had to fast-forward it.
The same team have a film coming out called Crazy Samurai: 400 vs 1. In that one Tak plays a swordsman taking on 400 opponents. Apparently it's all shot in one 77 minute take....
George Clooney post-apocalyptic sci-fi, in which he’s apparently the last person alive on Earth, trying to communicate with a returning space mission.
Somewhat implausible in several different ways, and perhaps because of that I didn’t find it emotionally compelling, but fairly well-done given that, and pretty impressive visually - although there’s also a bit too much that’s recycled from other films. But overall trying a bit too hard and not quite convincing.
6/10

Rosamund Pike plays a ruthless guardian of old people who eventually picks on the wrong old women, because she has a powerful gangster son played by Peter Dinklage
A fair romp to be fair, could have been better but still worth a watch
But the cast is great. Hugh Laurie, Benedict Wong, Tilda Swinton are excellent. Ben Whishaw and Peter Capaldi are fine with what they're given but don't really match my mental images of Uriah Heep or Mr Micawber. I really liked Morfydd Clark as David's wife Dora. As for Dev Patel, I've never particularly been a fan before but at last someone has made a Dickens adaptation where the "juvenile lead" isn't a wooden, boring, humourless stuffed shirt. Well done.
Don’t bother - it never gets going (even Humphrey Bogart looks bored)
4/10
Finally got round to watching it. Not bad but not as good as Rocketman. The band were well cast but it seemed to take more than a few liberties with the real story.

Romantic drama based on a Nicholas Sparks book. It was Mrs Haych’s turn to choose the movie tonight, she likes his books so wanted to see how the film compares to the novel.

British psychological horror about a deeply religious - and deeply disturbed - young woman working as a private nurse to an older, terminally ill woman.
This has been getting a lot of praise so I was interested to see it. There's nothing in the story I found surprising, but it's all about the atmosphere, which is very effective.
I watched it on Blu-ray, but I think it's available on Amazon and BFI Player.
Nah, you're entitled to your opinion, blame Iannucci. But definitely not Dickens.
