Landmine Goes Click 5.5/10
Probably not bad for a low budget, but was actually schitish

Also did a rewatch of a classic...Aliens blu-ray got dug out when some friends came over. Bill Paxton makes that movie more fun than a movie with the xenomorphs should be.

One of my all time favs. Awesome 3hour making of documentary on YouTube.

Oh yeah what a classic, I'd also like to revisit it. Some of the best monster designs in any movie.
Brooklyn - 7/10. Can't really say I'm enjoying it but it's good in an estrogeny kind of way

Naked (1993)
5/10
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107653/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_10
Directed by Mike Leigh.
A bleak unpleasant movie with a theme of sexual violence.
A real downer.
Not for me.

It was a downer but I remember it being quite good in a bleak way. It was David Thewlis's breakout role.

Saoirse Ronan well deserves her Oscar nomination for her performance in this tale of an an Irish immigrant torn between her old country and the new.
Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters are superb in supporting roles.

After five-year-old Jack and his mother escape from the enclosed surroundings that Jack has known his entire life, the boy makes a thrilling discovery.
The boy, Jacob Tremblay, was exceptional in this movie!
Overall, great feel-good movie, but being a crime movie addict, I would have loved a bit more background on how the situation began and evolved. This is probably a completely personal thing.

I must admit I am not much of a reader, but this type of story is incredibly interesting. Is the book THAT much better? Have you read it?

No I haven't a clue, but if you want more detail this is probably your best bet.

Began watching Amores Perros yesterday evening. Solid 9/10, just as good as I remembered from when it first came out.

how harsh is the dog-fighting stuff? I've seen the other parts of the "trilogy" but avoided this one because of the dog-fighting scenes.

It's pretty rough to be honest, but.. well you don't actually see dogs being harmed, that happens offscreen. But there's a reason they preface the movie by saying that no animals were harmed in the making, because if you didn't know better you would swear that they'd just let the dogs loose and filmed what happened afterwards.

Spectre was kark. 3/10 Feels like they just shot some action in random parts of the world. Can't really see how the story was driving the locations etc....just a pain to watch.

Absolutely Anything 7/10 One of Simon Pegg's better movies.
