I was disappointed by Dunkirk too. I felt it didn't do justice to the amazing guts of the English people at that point in the war. It's such a stunning story that, compressed into a movie, people should stand up and clap at the end.

It was on the plane on the way here, but I didnt watch it. I don't think the 4" plane screen would have done it justice.

Saw American Made & All Eyez On Me. One was OK, the other pretty rubbish. I am sure you can work out which is which

Tom Cruise=unwatchable, 2 Pac=awesome.

That was my instant opinion too.

I watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, on the plane today.  Loved it…

^ nice. Did it make you want to flip a kitchen table?

[Giles]

Yes, but if I did, I probably would not have helped to put it back again….

[neph93]

You couldn’t have because the only thing to do after flipping a table is to walk away from it.

I’m looking forward to seeing it. Haven’t flipped a table since 12 Years A Slave.

Wait till you see the film, you'll know what I meant….

Got it.

Ok, this may seem like an oxymoron but I am about to recommend a brilliant Belgian comedy. Check out “The Brand New Testament”, god is real, he lives in Brussels and he is a complete wanker.

The wife and I saw this last weekend when we were kid free. Completely agree @giles a very good film and Oscar worthy. It's the first time we've been to the cinema in about 4 years. Last film watched at the cinema was Dallas Buyers Club, so both very good films.

I saw Mary and the Witch's Flower today. It's the first film from Studio Ponoc, who're an offshoot or continuation of Studio Ghibli.

It's got a very Ghibli feel too it, particularly from the visual design. Parts of the movie look like a more surreal version of Hogwarts, albeit with more technology.

I did enjoy it, though it didn't feel as good as Miyazaki's finest. (But then again, what is?) If you're into Japanese animation, it's worth a look.

What did amuse me was the English language dub has been done with Northern accents. Normally they're voiced with either American or Received Pronunciation voices.

COCO - stunning visually… Funny... Sweet story... I love a good Pixar flick...

Watched Wind River last night. Not bad, passed the time enjoyably. Should really have been called 'massive Carhartt advert' really though.

Found new documentaries on Amazon prime to watch too. One on Mudhoney the other on the desert rock scene. Both look good.

Oooo, Mudhoney. I love how they’ve re-invented themselves over the last decade or so, starting with that Sabbath-esque  record  from the start of century, the name of which escapes me now….Because I’m old. So old...

I hear you. Mudhoney were so good live when I used to see them in the late 80s. Mark Arm is an Ian Mackaye of sorts to me. He is the true Cobain to the older generation.
