perhaps the best work of Hayao Miyazaki; 9/10

slighty disagree I think spirited away is his best work.

man from uncle lot more grit and violence than the McCullum and Vaughan tv series. guy Ritchie is turning into a decent director after doing the Sherlock Holmes films. I like films that are based on tv series that are set before the tv series and show a plausible way of how they met.

Antman 8/10 good addition to the Marvel universe with plenty of humour in there.

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation 8/10 Another enjoyable movie from the Impossible Mission team

The Equalizer - 7/10

yeah, it's difficult to choose between these two.

last film watched: Minority report (Steven Spielberg, 2002, with Tom Cruise) 7,5 - didn't like the final part and the end

Flash Gordan: classic film and a great sound track by Queen 8.9/10.

Mr Holmes. Great performance by Ian Mckellan.

Paycheck 6.7/10.

Bone Tomahawk 7/10 very good film. And one scene in it is as absolutely gruesome as anything ive ever seen in a film, but overall well worth a watch.

Essex Boys 'Law Of Survival' - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4608574/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

Turned it off 5 minutes in, first time I've done that with anything in ages. Utter dross and I say that as an avid aficionado of the 'true crime' genre that has ploughed through more gang/urban/gangster/true/fiction/non fiction/prison/hooligan/biker/FBI/SAS/Mafia/Triad/Yakuyza/IRA whatever autobiographies, movies, TV docs and books than most people have had hot dinners and having suffered plenty 3 or 4/10 garbage with an open mind along the way. Just proper plastic almost GCSE level type stuff though, really bad, just couldn't hack it. There's low budget/DIY effort and there's just why bother type thing. This falling in to the latter for me.

Sword Of Vengeance -





http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3622332/

Average, 4 or 5/10 from me. Not awful and watchable but not up there with bigger budget similar stuff like Centurion, Ironclad, The Eagle, The Last Legion or other roman/medieval or thereabouts type historical stuff. Some of the battle scenes are just a bit underwhelming and it's a bit too dark all the time, needed more daylight scenes to intersperse the fights which are mostly at night. Also does that 'smaller company UK film' thing of having tag lines that are obviously fairly unknown so when it comes to parts of the film where a character drops one of the one or two 'the line' lines of the film...rather than like BOOM there's the poster line, it's just like, proper anaemic and no one bats an eyelid type vibe. Not built up enough to stand out in the first place type 'tag lines'. In this case something to do with 2-3 'The Gods' related quotes spinning off something that gets said to the main guys Dad by his killer but then just becomes a couple of piss weak lines during battle scenes late in the film rather than like I dunno, tag line of the century then being included in the dialogue or whatever.
