Well he's a stand-up comedian who just happens to act rather than a comedy actor so I don't expect much from him with regards to his acting ability but he is damn funny!

I was going to make a wizard's sleeve joke, but then thought better of it before hitting 'post' anyway
I watched The Conjuring also, the Mrs watched Hoolyoaks on catch up
she hates these type's of films. I thought it was a really good movie, great sound effects and pretty good special effects, loved the way it involved the whole family, but thought the end was a bit weak.
Look forward to watching the 2nd one now.

Dead rising : end game
Crap, gave up half way through, thought I would give it a chance, my mistake.
0/10 is pushing it.

Yea! exactly why i rewatched the first one. more of to get the missus to know the general plot so she can keep up with the second movie. though it would seem they dont really have a lot of things that link the sequal back

I watched All The President's Men this evening. It was good, though I found it hard to follow. I think it probably didn't help that Watergate isn't something I was alive to see, so I didn't have the knowledge that goes with that. Maybe I'm just not very good at following this sort of film
One of my all time favourite films even though like you I wasn't born at the time of the events
Hoffman and Redford are sublime and it has a surprising amount of tension considering it's about two reporters conducting an investigation.
If you fancy it the book of the same name by Woodward and Bernstein is well worth a read and is a bit easier to wrap your head around. I still find it amazing that two investigative journalist brought down the most powerful man in the world, I just wish papers were as brave now.

Mr. Homes starring Ian Mckellen.
Wasn't expecting much, but my attention never strayed at all. It's essentially about Holmes as an old man (93) coping with the early stages of Alzheimer's and the relationship he forms with his housekeeper's young son, as he battles to make sense of his final case (his memory is shot), and his life as he nears the end.
An excellent off-beat take on a iconic character whilst shedding some light on loneliness and isolation not just felt in old age.
8/10.
