Scanning through Netflix last night I came across āEuropa Reportā, Iād never heard of it but because I like a bit of Sci-Fi and it has Sharlto Copley in it I thought it might be worth a watch. Itās essentially a āfound footage/documentaryā of a exploration mission to Jupiter. Sadly it wasnāt particularly thrilling and had a weak plot that wasnāt helped by fluctuating standards of special effects, some really good, some pretty shit (maybe they ran out of budget like Superman IV did). A valiant effort from a small film studio but ultimately I would not recommend.
Just watched āHerā with Joaquin Phoenix.
What a very good actor he is.
Engaging film with some interesting scifi ideas.
I give it 3.5 hooves.
Watched Shelter (2010) or 6 Souls (US title) the other week. Itās a super natural horror. So quite ridiculous. It was OK but not great.
Just watched Room. Wow how good that was! The little boy was such a good actor. Not the cheeriest of Sunday afternoon viewing.
Re-watched The Prestige last night with my eldest. Needless to say I had to explain some of what happened to him at the end, but man I love that film.

Agreed. Such a good film. Even with Michael Caine in it.

Saw The Girl On The Train today. Emily Blunt puts in a shift but it was generally disappointing.
Watched Spy. Melissa McCarthy being fat and a heroine
Pretty much all she ever does. Kind of wastes Jude Law & Jason Stathamā¦
But then annoyingly it brought a wry smile to my face at times & even one laugh.
To be honest, it is risible fare BUT Jason Statham over acting & playing a Twat did become amusing.
1/10 but would pass the time on a flight to Italy better than playing Lotto
ā¦ sometimes no words are neededā¦ 
Just watched this now and agree with all the above.
Itās an excellent movie, very enjoyable
Just watched Spotlight which is about Boston Globe newspaper investigate Catholic priests abusing kids and the Catholic Church covering it up.
It won a few awards. Really well done. makes you angry that they did and likely still are getting away with it.

The Fugitive has been getting some reruns of late down here.
Forgot just how good it was, Tommy Lee Jones best role?
The wintry feel to it gave it such an atmosphere, just felt the baddie was a bit too soap opera villainesque, but apart from that excellent
Caught The Girl on the Train yesterday - it was fine. It was a bit like a feature-length episode of Eastenders but with prettier people, but Emily Blunt was great as a character struggling with alcoholism. Probably one to wait for on DVD if iām honest.
Itās quite a lean time for movies unfortunately. Thatās smaller independant films etc. 
Funnily enough I saw Emily Blunt on the train today, she did mention that you put in a shift but were disappointing
Sorry
Watched Trumbo today. Bryan Cranston was pretty good in the lead role. Another one that made me angry. Ridiculous witch-hunt for ācommiesā.
Great actor poor script, really missed the mark
Oh sorry mate misread that 
Trumbo was an ok film, Cranston really acted well but it was a awful script
