my Mrs has just watched a film called "before we go" with Chris evans in it. Chris evans of captain America fame, looked a chick flick to me but just listened to the sound track and there's some cracking songs on it

I'm off to see The Revenant tomorrow, I've been looking forward to it near enough as much as Star Wars, and looking at the praise it has received hopefully it will end up being my fave film of the year.
I presume you mean Diesel-led film, because he's been in some good films. Saving Private Ryan, The Iron Giant, Guardians of the Galaxy... That's... that's it, actually, the rest is pretty awful.
I don't even remember him in Saving Private Ryan, The Iron Giant is a cartoon (so the fact he can't act was irrelevant) and I've never seen the other one.
Just checked and I remember now, I don't mind him in that one as he's barely in it and ends up dead, which is exactly what should happen in all his films.
I can't believe that Mad Max film has ten nominations but then again the Oscars mostly is a big pile of bollocks anyway. I remember Vin Diesel playing a supporting role in Saving Private Ryan.I know some people love that film but I really hate it, after the landings segment which is brilliantly filmed it just turns into gung ho USA USA type nonsense, watched it again recently.
Mad Max is brilliant, and considering most of those nominations were in technical categories it deserved all of them. Saving Private Ryan is still a good film after the Omaha Beach stuff. Not amazing but still perfectly fine.
It does look good Mad Max, I didn't enjoy it much as a film though. There are a lot of inaccuracies historically wise with Saving Private Ryan but it's not as nonsensical as something like that Fury film was lately where Brad Pitt takes on and defeats an SS Batallion all by himself.
