"You ya ****!"
Time Still Turns the Pages - 7.5 / 10
Had some time to kill yesterday so popped into watch this Chinese drama about a schoolteacher who reflects on his own traumatic upbringing when the school he works at find an anonymous suicide letter from one of the students.
Overall it was a slow burn, but very engaging throughout. But when the emotional punch came, man, I was surrounded by people crying in the cinema and was quite emotional all afternoon myself as it touched on a subject that's relevant to me.

The Holdovers.
Simple story but I found it far more entertaining that most blockbusters. Paul Giamatti is a good actor so that helps, it had an 80s sort of feel to it, which I don't know what that means exactly but I thought it was a good film.

La Haine for about the tenth time
Watched the first two Lord of the rings films recently after never really being that impressed by them previously, think I'd only watched them end to end once before.
This time they still didn't manage to keep my attention fully, don't think I'll watch the third or the Hobbit films.
I think they're really overrated and nothing grabs you, can't say any of the characters are likeable, Gandalf maybe?
4/10?
5 at a push? Very middle-of-the-road
Edit: I really did want to like the series, hence watching them recently but I guess they're just not for me...

The stairs scene is the JW equivalent of the Fast And Furious 6 runway takeoff scene
expect even longer and a mini film in itself in JW4 
I watched "The Loft" again last night, a nice hidden gem, each time I rewatch it I always think I've remembered it all then there's a little "oh yeaaaahhhh" moment
where I've forgotten something. Highly recommend this as a short but decent lil whodunnit.7.5/10

DEFINITELY watching Predator yet again tonight, might even follow it up with the sequel, because Danny Glover
Kindergarten Cop is a highly under-rated film IMHO too, at first it's silly but then it creeps up on you, and is literally about child snatchers - how the hell they got away with putting a swearing free version of this on every year casually on a sunday at 3pm on ITV is crazy!
I remember actually watching the uncut version and being like OHHHH... Haha!
The best one was when BBC1 at 8-9PM on a Friday started putting on heavily edited versions of 18's on tv (no not what you're thinking get your head out the gutter
) and one week they did T2, they just removed all the F bombs and only let him drop S's... And removed a bit of the gore hahaha!

It's infinitely rewatchable like 99% of the great 80's-90's stuff.
I love Days Of Thunder as well. SO good. And he did a lot of the driving himself in that, there's a pretty good making of.
This bit is hilarious!
The Firm is also a great older TC film too. Obviously Cocktail etc are decent too, but I feel not many people mention The Firm.
The Usual Suspects is also one of my favourite films ever, rewatch that loads every year as with HEAT etc etc...
