i would put it with my "insomnia cures" with my Roy Kean autobiography and horse tranquillizer
( its a strange array of cures)
First time I've seen it - disappointed to be honest. Didn't bother until now as I heard it got poor reviews. None of the banter between Regan, Carter and Haskins that I used to love from the original shows. Maybe its me, I know its a different audience these days, but the original Sweeny though gritty for its time, had characters and charm that engaged you, with half decent stories. This was just a meltdown of trying to copy USA style shoot outs and violence. Think Ray Winston and Damian Lewis are great actors, but they were wasted in this pile of poo.
I only hope when I'm nearly sixty, physically screwed and fat, I can pull a bird like that though.
Imitation Game: 6/10. Engaging enough, but disappointed with the historical inaccuracies, including Turing being played as an Aspergers type. Didn't think it was significantly better than Enigma, which came out over a decade ago.
Big Eyes: 6.5/10. Predictable, light, pretty well-executed. Too much Waltz is not a good thing though, and Amy Adams barely registered.
American Sniper: 7/10. Gritty, spartan biopic. You're left to interpret things. Pretty weak in comparison to the Vietnam war flicks.
Nightcrawler: 9/10. Jake Gyllanhall amazing as a ratty sociopath. Neon LA, dark side of the American dream, social satire. Grand.
Whiplash: 10/10. Best film I've seen in a long, long time. High tension and utterly engrossing. You'll come out of it having had your state shifted. It'll be a travesty if JK Simmons doesn't win the Best Supporting Actor award. Watch it.

Just watched interstellar wasn't expecting much as my brother did not like it ..but I thought it was excellent if not a bit long ( nearly 3 hrs ) one of the better films I have watched recently
I watched this last night, I agree it's a bit long, but if you can get through the opening third it's well worth a view, not sure the ending will be well received by all who take the time to watch. 6.5/10
Watched Nightcrawler (Jake Gyllenhal) last night, superb, a must watch if you appreciate antiheroes and american Psycho.

Just watched Le-weekend on DVD. Great film. I want to go back to Paris and see Beckett's grave now.
