    Trainspotting 2 was pretty entertaining for a sequel.

    I rewatched the first one yesterday, although it turns out I really didn't need to because I'd remembered everything. Well apart from one thing, and it really made me laugh: When they follow the American bloke to the toilets and then later they're dishing out his money, Renton walks off and you see the barman wearing the American's coat.

    I understand why they left so much out from the book, and I was glad they switched some stuff about so it could be in the film (like Spud's accident) but leaving out Renton's brother was a bold move. I think I preferred Porno (the second book) over Trainspotting so really looking forward to the second film, but Renton's brother was a massive part of it so I don't know how that'll work. No spoilers please obvs.

    As much as I'd be repulsed to watch it, there's one bit I really hope made it into the film. It'd be the grossest most disturbing thing I'd seen in a long time, but it'd be equal amounts of hilarious.

    Decent film weekend had after watching The Big Short as well. Generally films I rate highly I'll end up trivia digging after watching and I'm now about to do some serious reading into wall street and the basis of the film. Quality.

    Watched 'Room' and thought it was pretty good. Thought it could have been an hour longer to flesh it out a bit.

    I wonder why space crews in films hate each other so much. Both Prometheus and Sunshine have crews that appear to be full of unprofessional "scientists" who hold the most juvenile of grudges.

    That wasn't really the case in Sunshine (the opposite is the case I feel), though you're right on the nose about Prometheus. Lots of stupidity there.

    Split is good old fashioned dumb. Properly full on headbanging-ly fucking stupid, but unlike M Night's previous god knows how many films, is actually kind of entertaining and occasionally well put together until it gets overwhelmed by its own brainlessness at the end. It also is far too inconsequential a bit of rubbish to feature child abuse quite as prominently as it does (god, I've been reading the Guardian too much).

    Still worth a watch.

    The story of the making of that film is great. Was a script with fuck all to do with Cloverfield, then Abrams got his paws on it and tacked that shite on it.

    The ending was a bit crap, but it didn't ruin it. It was still a great watch.

    I thought Edge of Seventeen was crap. It feels exactly like Easy A but with less interesting actors and story.

    I had to look up the ending too. Soz.

    Just started watching Denial, based on Kermodes review and praise for Rachel Weisz' performance, however the first 20 minutes have been the complete opposite. Weisz is completely wooden and unnatural - and the script is way to short and punchy.

    Heh, let's see how it goes.

    Bridge of Spies was wank, so that.

    Cloud Atlas, even bigger wank.

    You're half right. I've heard Cloud Atlas needs a second viewing, the trouble being it's so bloody long and not liking it much in the first place doesn't exactly lend itself to the idea.

    Cloud Atlas seems to divide the population almost equally. I was on the side that thought it was outstanding.

    Cloud Atlas was brilliant.

    Crap Tom Hanks films; Da Vinci Code and presumably its sequels, Polar Express, Bridge of Spies, The Terminal, Hologram for the King. There are probably others.

    Having had a look at his IMDB, he's done more shit than good this decade. Ithaca, Larry Crowne, and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close go on the list. That last one is my favourite of the lot. I remember watching and hating it at the time, but I've just seen the IMDB description.

    I liked Bridge of Spies in the cinema, but I watched it again the other week and it was a bit boring. Them Dan Brown films are belting though. Get over yourself.

    Even your insults are shallow and pathetic.

    You and Mahow have rubbished that notion by enjoying it, but I'll concede the point if you can adequately explain how having a personality would make me enjoy it.

    The Terminal is mediocre. Full 5/10 business.

    Pretty much a problem with Spielberg, he makes primarily sentimental shite. Schindler's List and Munich being exceptions.

    He does, but he's also got an eye for spectacle, which is probably why the lower key stuff doesn't work so well.

    Aye, all his classics have spectacle and individual epic moments. I can barely remember a thing about his 'lesser' works.

    I remember someone, probably Kermode, saying that with the exception of Schindler's List, the less important Spielberg thinks the subject matter of a film is the better the final product tends to be. From a quick mental run through his films that seems to hold but I'm probably forgetting something that renders it bobbins.

    I didn't like Munich, Lincoln was impressive but unbelievably dry and boring, and Saving Private Ryan probably could be the film which kills that rule but I reckon the war is more setting than subject matter for that film.

    Hell or High Water was awesome.

    A slow burner, but really well filmed and actually quite clever. I don't really understand land trusts/bonds etc so the ending was news to me which was nice. The synopsis made me think it was a Western so got a surprise when it was set in modern day. Made it even better though.

    On Cloud Atlast, I'm (perhaps rarely) in neither camp: first time I watched it I thought it was incomprehensible and completely random. But I did enjoy some of the settings, some of the characters (was especially impressed by Cannibal Hugh Grant), and most of the small stories in their own right were quite interesting I thought. I also found it visually quite well done a lot of the time.

    At the same time not getting the full idea, or even half the idea (reading "interpretations" on the Internet afterwards kind of made me get it a bit more) took away from a lot of the experience, as did some of the short-stories, especially those set in older times, as I really tend to struggle to watch stuff that looks like a massive 18th century costume party in general. It's like Black and White films, the saturated style the scenes often come in just makes me a bit tired and bored.

    Yes, I've got a funny taste in films.

    Nocturnal Animals puts (well, keeps) Tom Ford on the map. A wonderfully dreamlike drama that glides past at its own pace.

    Hacksaw Ridge:Brilliant depiction of war as far as the injuries go,the CGI is a bit too apparent at times and can take you out of the movie,lead actors are great and Vince Vaughn is enjoyable in his role.Only real problem is the depiction of the main character's faith that is driving him and the allegory of him being Jesus in the very last shot of the movie.Barring that a solid 8/10 movie.

    I just watched Assassin's Creed and I enjoyed it a lot.

    It was very true to the games, especially in the fact that the past shits all over the present stuff.

    I only really found myself liking Fassbender and Michael K Williams in the present, all the other characters were pretty shit.

    I found it to be pretty much the worst film I've seen in the last couple of years, but then I despise the games.

    I can't imagine there's much in it for non-lovers, bar the action scenes I guess (but you could just watch something like The Raid).

    The story in the present, just like in the games, is just so pointless.
