I quite liked that too, but the rapid acceleration from dialogue to everyone-has-an-assault-rifle now kind of pissed me off.

Sully. Didn't realise they got such a grilling but despite that pretty predicatble film. Still a decent flick mind and a ballsy move.

Watched Rich Hall 90 minute love letter to country music last night "Rich Hall is countrier than you". Absolutely excellent.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Nothing particularly revealing or shocking about this documentary, by the way, but just sums up quite simply and clearly what most of us already know about America: Big corporations have hijacked government, neither Republications nor Democrats can be trusted any longer, the richest of the rich are becoming insanely rich, while the vast majority of working class Americans are struggling to make ends meet, many are heavily in debt, graduates can't get jobs to even pay off their student loans, and the price of medicines are going through the roof, putting even people who are too ill to work deeper and deeper into debt. Obviously nobody expected this to change under Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders was their best shot as far as the Dems went. But what they saw in Donald Trump was a businessman who might actually have the nous to deal with the economic situation - rather than just another smooth talking fashion statement who says one thing and does the other. Even my staunchly democratic American friends are saying positive things about this.

Not my own view, however much I may tend to agree with it. My own concerns with the US are almost solely regarding foreign policy, as I am not actually American and couldn't care too much about the rest. Just providing the gist of the narrative, is all.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

Thoroughly confusing from start to finish. It's not the best sign when the scenes with Elton John camping and diva'ing it up are the best in the film.

Not a patch on the first film.

I revisited this after you posted. Had forgotten about it. Fantastic composition. Bill Murray is just one smooth smoothy.

He's done quite a few doccos on BBC4, "The Dirty South" & "Inventing the Indian" are also very good, he has an easy style and is informative and intelligent.

The Dinner. An absolute heap of crap. The book was ok but the film is dire. Alan Partridge with an American accent. The whole thing is cringe worthy.

Star Wars. That was more what I was expecting when the last film came out. Really felt like a film produced by committee. Some very entertaining nonsense amongst it though.

Similar murders have happened before??! When will we ever learn from our past

Despicable Me 3 & the Godfather on a flight. Never seen the Godfather before. Very good.

Star Wars The Last Jedi. It's better than TFA by virtue of not being a remake of its OT counterpart. That said, its context following TFA makes no sense and I can see why Mark Hamill didn't like the direction they went with Luke.

Rouge One still far, far better than both of them.

I see its opening weekend saw it make half a billion world wide.

Still can't beat the oldies IMO.

The more I think about the new Star Wars the more I realise how totally dreadful it was. Looked and sounded great. But as a story, whether for kids or grown ups, it was totally shite.
