Watched one called Shot Caller just now - Nikolaj Coster Waldau goes to prison as a soft enough lad who works his way up through a gang 'til he gets out, with trouble following him.

Worth a look, he's great in it (his moustache isn't) but it's fairly by the numbers overall. The odd twist or two but nothing too exciting about it. Jon Bernthal is, as usual, the weak link. Terrible actor.

Watched 'Caution, Hazardous Wife: The Movie' a Japanese film on the plane the other day coming back from overseas work.  Very enjoyable, great fight choreography and a beautiful lead actress

I've never read David Copperfield, but just watched Ianucci's take on it, with Dev Patel, and found it thoroughly entertaining.

I read it last year and found it brilliant in places and drawn out in others. I'd be curious to see the film.

It's very light-hearted. Just what I was in the mood for in any case. I know this is the wrong thread, but since you've read a few now, I think; which Dickens would you recommend above the others?

Oliver Twist was great. Really brutal and dark.

I watched one of those Peter Ustinov playing Poirot from the early eighties. Great stuff. Even if you manage to guess the villain, the detail and motive keep you waiting for the big climax.

Also Imperium with Daniel Radcliffe. He puts in a decent shift in fairness to the lad but it's a desperate film.

Watched The Hunt on Netflix, good fun from the start, good way to pass an hour and a half

Not read the book either, very good film though.

Watched that Foo Fighters comedy horror Studio 666. I was surprised as it is genuinely funny. So shit it is good like. Think Shaun Of The Dead meets Spinal Tap  :laugh:

Death On The Nile - Grand, enjoyable enough but everybody putting on bad accents was distracting, as was the overused, shoddy CGI. Amazingly, French, Saunders and Brand were quite good in it but stick to the Peter Ustinov version.

I watched Nobody yesterday. Not at all what I was expecting. It was pure OTT gratuitous violence. It was entertaining up to a point but watching Christopher Lloyd in the final scene dragging his 1000 year old carcass around while somehow kicking ass made it a bit too ludicrous  :laugh:

Aye the ending was a bit ludicrous but a good watch. The scene on the bus was fantastic.

Moonfall - Take bits of Gravity, Armageddon, Terminator 2, The Matrix and every disaster film made in the last 20 years then sling it all together into a shit sandwich....mental stuff...
