Goon 10/10. Still as good on the repeat as it was on the first viewing. I've got a soft spot for this film anyway but even re-watching it for umpteenth time the jokes land, the leads shine and the ice hockey is pretty brutal (I know nothing about ice hockey). Fingers crossed for Goon: Rise Of The Enforcers this year.
Jungle Book - 7/10
Enjoyable little adventure, quite faithful to the original story (so my friend said, I can't remember
) though it's mainly aimed at the kids of course.
Brilliant performance by the young boy, especially when you think he was the only 'real' thing in the movie.
Oh and for once, I would recommend the 3D, it was a visual feast. Being that it was stunning CGI, it perfectly and easily lends itself to working in 3D and the whole forest environment was just sumptuous

Lady in the Van
I enjoyed it, although not as much as I thought I might.
Pacing a was a little off imo. Still a very well acted film, and the script was lovely.

We watched this the other night, not bad.
I enjoyed the film overall, but I found it to be quite erratic in it's pace and disjointed. Scenes/sections of the film just ended abruptly, with no recourse or revisit.
Part of me thinks it was done intentionally, to show the break from the old life to the new. Like not seeing Scarlet Johanssen again after the trip to Miami etc. However, I felt like it wasn't handled particularly well on screen.
There's also a couple of really bad edits in some of the scenes, one that jumped out was his 2nd in command lighting a smoke in the bar scene. He must have lit that thing 3 times as the camera changed angle lol.
Those minor things aside however, it was engaging and able to deliver smiles and chuckles in a couple of places. Totally inoffensive, and a nice change of pace from the usual thriller/sci-fi/action/adventure stuff we usually watch.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring... a Korean film about a Buddhist master and his pupil who live on a floating, island temple... It starts off nicely, but then gets over dramatic and silly, as well as somewhat depressing. 5/10

Eddie the Eagle - 7/10
Enjoyed this a lot, enjoyable performance from the cast.
Hats off to Eddie Edwards though... He was a true sportsman Eddie knew he wasn't great, he knew he wasn't going to take home any medals. But he kept his head high, stood up against every person that tried to stop him from competing at the Olympics and he did his best and gave it all he could.

Imitation game 8/10
Very good. It still infuriates me how Turing was treated after the war

The Boy.
Was genuinely creepy for the first half, but then it went into predictable and meh territory.
5.5/10
Ride Along 2.
Had some good laughs, mindless action and some nice views of Miami. Olivia Munn should never play a detective roll again though. She suits the type of character she plays in The newsroom best and nothing else really.

Captain America , Civil War.
Didnt knock Deadpool off its perch as my favourite Marvel film. Felt the film dragged on a bit prior to the 'big fight'. I'd give the film a 7 or 8 overall I think. Fight was good , although it did seem to be rather dominated by the "new generation" of heroes. Much preferred the film from the fight onwards til the end rather than the pre-fight section of the film.
Was good, but speaking in purely Avengers terms, I still think that Avengers Assemble was better.
