Totally agree. Great film, never quite knew where it was going to end up. It'll definitely get some press due to the subject - and it's already getting some award nods. Worth a watch, for sure.
A high 7/10 from me.
What film did you watch last night?

A high 7/10 from me.
Just saw Mark Kermode's take on Greenland:
I have no idea what movie he was watching but it wasn't the same one as I watched... did someone have a gun to his head?
The only way you could come to that conclusion really is if you watched the first 20 minutes or so, skipped to the end (which was OK but not amazing and lacked any pay off) and missed the bulk of the movie.
The only thing he watched three times was maybe the trailer.

Space Sweepers
A cheesy but fun Korean sci-fi. There wasn't really anything original here, but it was delivered with the confidence of its convictions, some nice CGI, a few punches in the feels, and a lot of heart.
Worth a watch 7/10.

Watched this last night and agree. I tend to like films like this (Day After Tomorrow etc) but this was disappointing.

Foxcatcher 8/10. Good movie and very impressed with Steve Carell's acting.

Cloud Atlas
Very pretty in 4k, the rare comedic moments were lol, but over all not as smart as it thinks it is. The future language thing was both a nice idea and difficult to understand, I only got like 70% of what they were saying.

High hopes, but fell flat for me, the ending was lame as, no closure to the story.

Over the weekend i watched all of the Ip Man movies. Fantastic action, great story(Although apparently embellished and not actually accurate in many ways, for instance he didnt fight a British Boxer but his student did fight a Russian boxer and defeated him in 3 punches) and very emotional in places. I have the Master Z one i will be watching tonight.

Just watched it, same, enjoyed it, but yeh, predictable.
As it came to the end, I thought, once, just once, have the bad ending! 
I also watched Groundhog Day, a few days late)it's set on the 2nd). A fantastic film, always fun to watch. 4/5Groundhog day - 8/10

If you haven't seen it, Palm Springs.
Want to see that, coming to Prime in April...

Greenland - 2/5
Stuff falls from the sky, a dysfunctional family get separated then end up in Greenland together two hours later. Not much happens and there are maybe two minutes of disasterish stuff. Meh.

It hasn’t been on for a while, but “City Island” is an absolute cracker of a film IMO.
Andy Garcia is a Corrections Officer, who wants to quit to become an actor, but he wants to make things right with his long lost son Tony, who’s in the jail where Garcia works, Tony was fathered before Garcia met his wife, Julianna Margulies, but when Tony is released, he moves in with Garcia and Margulies, and through a series of misunderstandings, Garcia’s daughter Molly looks like getting it on with Tony.

I enjoyed this film a lot more the second time I watched it as I put the subtitles on, which made it generally so much easier to follow.

Couldn't stand cloud atlas, feel like a massive pile of pretencious ****.

Just watched Space Sweepers, held my interest for the length of the film, which is unusual for me these days.
Guess I'm just a Sci-Fi fan.
