as with all 'based on a true story' you're never quite sure what artistic licence has been taken

One not to watch - JeruZalem.....utter pish, lasted about 45 minutes before I had to switch it off.
Don't waste your time with this one.
Watched the film escape plan last night, with Sly and Arnie, not a bad film, easy watching action stuff!
I actually found it almost tedious. Remove the panning landscape shots/tree shots and you lose half the movie. Remove Leo lying/groaning/by a fire and you've lost another 40%.Quote:

I will watch anything and really enjoy Di Carpios performances but most actors could have done his performance in this - if he wins an oscar I am sure he will be bemused its for this. I usually enjoy the movie people complain is overhyped but this one actually got to me
Watched I Believe in Miracles (Nottingham Forest film) the other night, excellent viewing about them winning the league and going on to win the European Cup....highly recommended viewing !!!
The Revenant - I thought, first hour was pretty impressive, looked set to be one of those classic films that would make your top 5. However, after the first hour, I thought it was horrendous. Didn't enjoy it all. Di Caprio was okay, he barely spoke and I thought Tom Hardy was poor, usually like him, but not here, wasn't impressed.
I'll watch "The Survivalist" and/or "The Forest" tonight. They say The Survivalist is Mad Max in the woods, should be interesting.
Triple Nine.
Not much positive to say on this one. Bang average bad cop movie. The poorly drawn characters induced no sympathy. 5/10.
