Gonna see Iron Lung tomorrow night as the reviews look decent  :)

Going to check that out myself, I hear good things. Completely unfamiliar with the game its based on which is apparently not a hindrance to enjoying it.

I love a good war movie.

I thought Platoon dated badly.

Aye. Love a good war movie. Watched 1917 again recently. Fantastic film. Gets you right into the hell of war.

Not a huge war-film afficianado, bar the obvious ones, but ya, right into the muck with this one.

still really good though. As someone mentioned 1917, I haven't seen that since in ages. May re watch it. I watched Inception last night. Have to say I love it now. Recently got surround sound and it looks and sounds amazing. One of Nolans best and that soundtrack too

Platoon is one of my favourites, the cast is so good its easy to rewatch. Paths of Glory is the ultimate WW1 film.

Well I saw Iron Lung and I haven't a fucking clue about what it was about, I can't say if it was good or bad as it completely lost me after 30 minutes.

Watched 3.10 to Yuma (remake) last night. Thought it was class, Bale and Crowe really seem to gel. Great performances and enough gun fighting for the western fans. I do like a good western. Recently watched Salvation with Mads Mikkelson which was decent. Story was a bit so and so but he's great in everything. He's like a sfe bet for any movie really.

Watched Predator: Badlands there. Good craic, told from the Yautja's point of view (at first, anyway) with plenty of lighter touches throughout. The plot's fairly basic and predictable but it's grand for switching the brain off for a couple of hours.

A short film called The Singers on Netflix. 18 minutes long. A total beaut. I just wish it was longer.

The Rip. Actiony oul shite. A bit of craic.

Watched Dark Skies which was not the worst but not great and then some other Netflix thing about aliens, You Will Not Escape or something like that was the name of it and by god was it fair shit
