Sausage Party. Mental but a thought provoking piece of modern art.

Irish birthrate expected to rocket in 2017 .!

Glory is on BBC2. What a fantastic finale!





The courage of those lads.


Serge Rutledge is up next.

Haven't seen it yet, but looks interesting:

Suicide Squad. What a bloody mess, figuratively speaking.

Too much going on and not enough attention to the storyline.

Aye but Margot Robbie

German paratroopers, sleepy English village, Donald "Mick" Sutherland, Michael Caine as a Fallshcirmjaegar colonel, and JR Ewing!?

Also starring Jenny Agutter as a local tart (now that's what I call misogyny!)

I watched it at the above link, but apparently it's also available on u-tube

David Brent - Life on the Road.

I liked The Office, it was a great show, but the format gets a little tiring. Constant confused looks at the camera from the supporting cast and forced/unlikely embarrassing social situations kinda wear thin.

Rogue One. It's fabbo.

Sorry for any massive, drunken spoilers there.
In summary, didn't really get it but had some cool moment. I think being sat 3 inches from an imax screen didn't help.

I enjoyed it, almost as much as the kids. Thought K-2SO, or whatever it's called, had some great lines.

My god that was a letdown. Waited 90 minutes for someone I gave a shit about to come along and then it was just darth Vader chopping everyone's heads off. That bit was cool. What else was there?

Sorry you hate things that are good and cool.

Finally got around to seeing it, but can confirm. Rouge One is the shizz.

I guess I saw the last film with less than zero expectation, then it was pretty cool. So I thought this one would be good. Maybe the mistake was expecting the characters to tie in somewhere. The action was done really well, but that was literally the entire film.

It's hard not to be swayed by just how annoying 'star wars people' are. They're everywhere. And why can none of them speak for more than 3 seconds without saying the word 'canon'?

"Tie in somewhere?" Did you not notice that the film is about the rebels that get their hands on the Death Star plans that Rebels used in Episode IV? It also had Jimmy Smits reprising his role as Bail Organa from Episode III. As for the other half of what I quoted, I actually wonder how much attention you were actually paying, because it looks like you missed a remarkable amount.

I meant more broadly adding something to the saga. We knew the story of this film before it started. It felt a tad like a movie made just to stop people from questioning why the death thingy was so easy to blow up.

Will you be less upset at me if I concede that darth vader is still pretty fucking cool.

Rogue One

Predictable hokum that had its tits milked off back in '83.

Should keep thick children quiet for a couple of hours.

I think you're conflating "knowing how something ends" to "knowing the story." The only real mention that the bunch around whom movie revolves was a single line in Episode IV.

Aside from that, we also got Alan Tudyk and Donnie Yen taking turns stealing the scenes they were in, and the Rebels being developed and getting far more nuance than we did before, in that we see they're actively engaged in shitty things, and that there are shitty people among them like Saw Guerra.

Kubo and the two strings - pretty good, by not for younger kids
Storks - actually quite good
Ice ages 4&5 - stretching the word "watched" here, I was in the room whilst they were on - they made it hard to read my book, I'm not good at filtering out distraction.

Masterminds.

Bad Santa 2.

Two largely forgettable films. The first is loosely based on the October 1997 Loomis Fargo robbery in North Carolina. Decent enough cast with Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis but it just wasn't that funny.

Bad Santa 2 was disappointing too. The first film was great but the sequel failed to live up to expectation with a rather unlikely storyline and a few of the original cast back in the mix.

Don't usually watch films or TV, but we're snowed under in Istanbul and nothing else to do, so I watched Moana, sort of a kids film, obviously, but I've always been interested in Polynesian history and mythology. Regrettably it was awfully cheesy and predictable, and relied mostly on one-liner cliches from Dwayne Johnson for entertainment value: http://putlockers.ch/watch-moana-online ... ocker.html

Keeping up with the Joneses.

I must be getting old as I'm having trouble laughing at mainstream comedy films these days!

That's 3 on the trot with Masterminds, Bad Santa and now this.

As beautiful as Gal Gadot is, and she wears lingerie in this film, she makes Keanu Reeves look like a seasoned academy award winner. By christ, she is dreadful. It's like watching wood trying to act like being wood.

Zach Galifianakis looks almost unrecognisable after losing weight and most of his beard.
