NEVER watch that with a hangover. Bawling my fecking eyes out choking on my own tears.

La La Land - Really good film, Ryan Gosling is brilliant. Can't help but think that it would have been better if in the final scene, Gosling jumped onto the drums and started playing Whiplash. Or Caravan. 8/10
That's just a mini-series.
Chungking Express - Loved it. Hong Kong is the perfect setting being such a unique place and, like the film, has such a wonderful energy. Great cast that help the film to be so charming and sexy.
The missus tried again last night (I went to bed instead) and she said it was even worse than she thought the first time around. Possibly the worst mainstream musical ever made.
Cant be worse than Pierce Brosnan singing in Mama Mia.
The Purge Anarchy
Just found all a bit OTT.
Did not really enjoy it.

Do you ever watch a film you enjoy, pauldy?
Plenty yes , I just found it too much , with a daft ending.
Christine-A really great performance by Rebecca Hall as Christine Chubbuck, a news reporter who committed suicide live on television. It's a difficult role to play but she's really sympathetic and compelling as this ambitious and intelligent yet really awkward and insecure woman who gradually unravels in a sexist working environment. Will be interested to watch Kate Plays Christine after this, has anyone seen both?
Toy story 3 is the most cry-worthy movie.
Just looked it up, I always confuse that and Mississippi Burning. First seen it when I was around 10-11, thought it was brilliant then. Will have to rewatch it sometime. Great film.
Maybe and Mama Mia was no classic but LaLaLand is a much worse film/musical.
I, Daniel Blake Bloody hell what a film. Dark despite the odd laugh but what a great film. How this wasn't nomonated for a best film Oscar I just don't know. I love Ken Loach films even if you do feel like you have been run over by a truck by the end. 9/10
I have to admit that Mama Mia, is a guilty pleasure, watched it quite a few times.
It is fun. LaLaLand was torture.
I'd say Grave of the Fireflies
Having thought about this one I thought the last twenty minutes went a little bit over the top. Still liked it a lot.
I've seen La La Land three times now. I'm a joke 
I was rewatching Amour last night and I wake up to the news to Emmanuelle Riva passed away right when I was watching the movie. This would be weird with any movie but with this one especially it gave me goosebumps. I watched this youtube clip last night (starting at 4:19) and it just accentuated that feeling. It's just so fecking weird it's insane.
RIP
RIP
Damn. She was the lead actress in arguably the two finest films with 'Amour' in the title, her first and final (?) roles I think.
The Monster (2016)
2/10
another movie that i don't understand why has been made. Just terrible.
I was fooled by the poster.

T2 Trainspotting - 7/10
XXX: Return of Xander Cage.
Mindless fun and action, which is what you want with a movie like this. Its just simple standard stuff, basically balls to the wall action, which is what i wanted and got, so enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed this. The animated characters are really likable, has a good story and some good laughs. Good choice of songs / covers in this too.

Why is not a single person talking about Split?

Its feckin not showing in my Local Cineworld. I might have to go to the one near my work (and even then its a good 30 minute drive)
A colleague gave me her Netflix login. Am watchinh Human Centipede III. Will she know?
Maybe I'd be better off checking out Stranger Things or whatever. I might be wasting my time with this film.

Clint Eastwood singing in Paint Your Wagon?
Pretty impressed with Trainspotting 2. I'm surprised.
What surprised you?
I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it because I usually think a sequel ought to stand on its own, and T2 doesn't at all. It leans so heavily on the original but by fully embracing it and building the plot and theme around it you end up with an interesting self-aware movie about nostalgia - both the characters' and the audience's.
My cat just woke up and gave me a filthy look when I played that. Not quite Wand'rin' Star.Friend Request.
When a college student unfriends a mysterious girl online, she finds herself fighting a demonic presence that wants to make her lonely by killing her closest friends.
This was much better than I was expecting, creepy music , decent story and a twist at the end I did not see coming.
Well worth a watch.
