    I woke up randomly at 3am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so watched Deadpool, it was good, not worth watching twice but ok.

    Watched Shooter with Mark Wahlberg yesterday, really enjoyed it, easy watching, not very believable but loads of good scenes the last half an hour was brilliant.

    There'll always be folk who think films are **** unless they're oscar-worthy but I reckon this one has been made just for the fun of it.

    Watched Under the Skin tonight, now that is a strange film. I thought it would be a bit offbeat but it was full on madness, can't say I liked it.

    It was unsettling I'll give it that and Scarlett Johansson is naked quite regularly which were by far the best bits.

    So do I we hardly ever get a chance these days. Wish I hadn't wasted my opportunity on that one.

    I get plenty of chances, mate. I just find it really difficult to stay still and concentrate on just one thing for a couple of hours, or more. I get agitated and have to move about and generally do something different.

    Rarely I do watch a film right through and when I can do that, that's when I know it's been good.

    Great Gatsby was the last time at the pictures for me before that it was Bonnie and Clyde. Only watch them on tv now, The Reventavist sic was on the other night and it was ok with surround sound, the fight with the bear was brill.

    I've just had a read about that. Sounds like a good film.

    Well I have enjoyed it so far, I only watch films in stages (pun), it might be slow moving for some (another), it is a very bleak film but well cast, and probably very close to what it must have been like at the time.

    Thank you very much. It's always been **** or bust for me with movies. Why didn't I think of this, it will suit me down to the ground <ok>

    I didn't used to like DiCaprio but to be fair, he's been in some great films and seems to be getting better with age.

    Not a patch on the 70s version where Richard Harris took the main role. Unbelievable that it was a true story.

    Richard Harris, real class and a great era for the movies. Too much choice today. <ok>
