Final Evangelion film is  due to come out at the end of January. Yesterday, they released the final trailer and the poster for the film, and someone at one of the main Western fansites got their translating wrong, and thought it meant it was coming out tomorrow. Cue absolute bedlam.

An old black and white version of Great Expectations on the box. Having read it recently it's still fresh in my mind and this version looks really good. Win!

Mills, right? Great film; had nightmares of Lady Haversham's banquet room for years!

[Eoin McLove]

Yeah, it looks incredible. They really captured an atmosphere.

Gremlins 2.

Decent entertainment and the soundtrack is not bad either

[Eoin McLove]

Some Like It Hot. Gas oul flick made all the better by Marilyn Monroe looking her absolute smokingest! And that's not to take away from Tony and Jack either. Fair play to em, they scrub up!

I hit record on The Shape of Water the other night but wasn't too excited about it. Fired it on this evening and I'm blown away. What a visual feast.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Really is a visual feast, albeit a fairly banal story overall, which was mildly disappointing given the aesthetic effort.

[Eoin McLove]

I enjoyed the story a lot. It's simple and straight forward but brilliantly acted and engaging from start to finish. Kind of like a fairytale. It worked for me. The sets alone had me hooked, in fairness. It looked so good.

Must give it another go anyway. Saw it on release in the cinema, and what with the Oscar and the director, I was expecting something surpassing even Pan's Labyrinth in every regard...so, with too high expectations being the death of many a good thing!

Was looking for some mindless action films and was recommended Hard Kill and Ava. They were both absolute scutter

I loved Pan's Labyrinth but anything I saw by him after that didn't do it for me for different reasons. My expectations were low for this and maybe that helped.

Watched new Netflix space thing with Clooney in it last night. Was ok, not great. Last of the mohicans as well. I enjoyed that even though it's a bit shit in places

Pan's Labyrinth was very good but I also haven't been blown away with his other flicks. Then as mentioned, expectation is a factor

[Carnage]

Train To Busan - Late to the party but it was brilliant, if predictable.

The Midnight Sky - Not bad, didn't blow me away but Clooney was reliably good in it. Again, the twists were fairly clearly signposted.

[Blackout]

Watched the Breaking Bad sequel movie Camino. Talk about underwhelmed apart from the appearance of Heisenberg

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Holy fucking shit; every single person involved with the making of The Laundromat on Netflix deserves destitution and painful death. Amazing the fucking shite big names (Meryl Streep, Sharon Stone, Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas...) will appear in for a pay cheque these days. Couldn't even make it to the end it was so absolutely awful.
