New Kevin Hart film on Netflix

Absolute sh*te. 

It seemed to be looking good before the introduction of the big bad villain, Mr Conor McGregor. acting exactly how Conor McGregor does. I think it's called 'chewing up the scenery'.

Watched this in one sitting. Gripping stuff before Oliver Stone completely lost the run of himself. Full of big names chewing the scenery [Tommy Lee Jones, Joe Pesci, Kevin Bacon] while Donald Sutherland's cameo portraying "X" is mesmerising. Kevin Costner does a marvelous job anchoring things.

Field of Dreams

This is the better of the Kevin Costner baseball movies.

Can't understand the hype about this one at all. Bored the pants off me.

First time watching this since I was a child. Holds up pretty well. 

Fantastic. Reminded me of a Scorsese flick with the way it was edited.

A bit self-indulgent. Been a few months since I watched it and can't remember much about it TBH. One of the fight scenes reminded me of something from a video game. Unrealistic and took me out of the movie. Expected better from David Fincher.

After recovering from making a tit out of myself by asking for tickets to "Flowers of the Killer Moon", I settled in and watched Leonardo Di Caprio in one of his best acting performances and somewhat of a return to form for Robert De Niro. Real misery porn this was. The whacking scenes and the screwing around of the Osage got so repetitive at one stage that it almost reached a point of absurdity to me. I believe at one stage people in the cinema laughed. There are no likeable characters in the movie. I don't mean that in a bad way necessarily; it's just unremittingly the evil of man. I'd probably put it somewhere in the middle if I was ranking Scorsese's stuff.

A bit predicable but thoroughly enjoyed it - the two leading actors are excellent - based on a true story 

That's a classic movie. I'm the daddy around here.

You f**king Brixton sl*g!

The Vow (Netflix) - newly married couple, head over heels. car crash, loses her short term memory, cant remember the husband so he has to start all over again with all sorts of obstacles, family resisting the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. This wan was chosen by the missus and whilst it was fairly shoite, it's not bad for appeasement of the other half should she need to choose a film. The biggest thing going for this movie is the National "England" as part of the soundtrack. Fcuking tune. 6/10

I see you (netflix) - f**k sake lads, i used to fancy Helen Hunt, but she looks like Rocky Dennis in this with the work she has had done. Thriller with boys going missing, dodgy carry on in the family home. Thought it would be utter scutter but pleasantly surprised. 6.8/10 for what it is. 

The Guilty (netflix) - Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a demoted cop who is manning a dispatch line. Takes a call from a damsel in distress and story unfolds from there. Few twists along the way in a movie that largely remains in one scene. Decent 6.9/10
