When Marnie was There - Studio Ghibli's final film (allegedly)...it's a very grown up, less fantastical film than something like Ponyo or Howls Moving Castle but still good stuff, if a little bit slow to get going. 7.5/0

He Knows You're Alone
1980 slasher/woman in peril film influenced heavily by Halloween and briefly featuring a young Tom Hanks in his first film role. Enjoyable enough, nice Staten Island locations, disappointing lack of gore. Still, made me long for the days when major studios produced films like this - it looks and feels like a current indie film. 7/10

I think horror films suffer sometimes by the overwhelming amount of blood & gore. A good psychological horror in what you don't see (Blair Witch for example) is far more chilling than buckets of sauce splashed about.

I agree... sometimes! BWP is a good example of a horror with no gore that's still incredibly chilling, but when I watch an '80s slasher I don't expect the camera to cut away from every killing. I want blood!

Bit late to the party but Bridge of Spyies was good, let down only by the woeful CGI of the U2 plane being shot down. Other than that a good watch 8/10

Oliver Stone's Snowden.Excellent film.

Looks like OS's got his mojo back.About time.:thumbsup:

The Untouchables - Although it was made in 1987, with a stellar cast including Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro, Andy Garcia and Charles Martin Smith it is one of my all time favourites, and it was so worth another watch. 10/10

Lights Out - Bog standard cliched horror bollox. **** sandwich. 2/10 and I'm being generous.

The siege of somewhere in the congo that ive forgotten. 9/10 true story and shows what arseholes politions can be.

Blood Father - stars Mel Gibson as Link, an ex-convict who fights to protect his estranged daughter from the drug cartel that is hunting her down. Mel's been a long time missing from the big screen for lots of off screen reasons. He's back to his best big time in this one though. Bit slow starting, but when it gets going it's Mad Max with grey hair time. Loved it! 9/10

The Entertainer (x2)

Dug out my old DVD of The Entertainer the other night to see Laurence Olivier,Joan Plowright and the young Albert Finney and Alan Bates.Wonderful film version of the play,which I can remember seeing at the Palace Theatre, back in the day, with Alfred Marks superb in the Archie Rice role.

Also saw Kenneth Brannagh's version on a live feed from the Garrick theatre in London on Thursday night.Wonderful stuff.:thumbsup:
