Their Finest





I thought that this was a really good story that was well told and acted.

Security





Not bad entertainment with most of the action taking place in a shopping mall.

Watched The Predator on a flight.  The movie itself is one of the worst big-budget movies of the century so far, and the cleaned up language for the flight made it even worse.
What airline was it? I watched The Favourite on Lufthansa a couple months ago and it still had all the canoodling intact.

The Last Laugh








Chase and Dreyfuss are both very good in this different slant on the road movie theme. Totally recommended.

Gravity





Great visuals but that is about it for me.

Ironically I watched this film a day before it was announced that Robert Pattinson is potentially the next Bruce Wayne/Batman. Forget his Twilight years, Robert is a serious actor, and this mesmerizing movie proves it.

Delta.  At least the in-flight meal was decent.

I really like the post-apocalyptic thing/Genre but haven't seen this movie yet - Will have to try to watch it at some stage... :)

Yes, it is quite watchable and the story line builds well. You know what to expect from Cage. Enjoy.

He's Out There





A standard axe murderer storyline but with good tension.

Ghost of Baron Scarpia

What kind of world is it where there is a "standard" axe murderer storyline?  :o  :laugh:

Saving Mr. Banks





I really enjoyed this one. I got much more out of it than I had expected to.

Saving Mr. Banks

 

I really enjoyed this one. I got much more out of it than I had expected to.

Just watched Saving Mr. Banks a few months ago (bought the BD) - another Tom Hanks film for us last night:

Bridge of Spies (2015) w/ Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance, Alan Alda et al; Steven Spielberg, director - own the film on BD (excellent AV rating HERE) - based on a true story about the American lawyer, James Donovan (see quote); nominated for 6 Oscars, winning just one for Mark Rylance (Best Supporting Actor) - highly recommended.  Dave :)

QuoteJames Britt Donovan (1916 – 1970) was an American lawyer, United States Navy officer in the Office of Scientific Research and Development and the Office of Strategic Services (OSS, predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency), ultimately becoming general counsel of the OSS, and an international diplomatic negotiator. Donovan is widely known for negotiating the 1960–1962 exchange of captured American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers for Soviet spy Rudolf Abel, and for negotiating the 1962 release and return of 9,703 prisoners held by Cuba after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. Donovan was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 2015 feature film Bridge of Spies. (Source)

Bridge of Spies was also recommended to me today by a colleague at work.
