    Black Mass

    6.5/10

    Watchable but slow. There is a storyline but not enough made of it ...

    American Hero

    7/10

    Silly story and a bit clunky but an entertaining film (I was quite stoned though)

    It came out recently I think? It's about some dude that spends his time getting smashed but it turns out he has the power of telekinesis.

    I like the fact that the whole film wasn't based on that, was more sort of following him around doing his day-to-day stuff. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it entertained me though.

    Tbf that sounds like the kind of film I might watch if I was stoned, just to go with the flow. That or Naked Gun <laugh>

    I watched Memento when I was stoned once.... never again

    Selma - 7.5

    A little dry at times and about half an hour too long, but a powerful film nonetheless.

    I like the sequel myself... Strokeback Fountain.

    All about what the women got up to then.

    Predestination

    Time travel drama with Ethan Hawke, based on a Robert A Heinlein short story.

    Complex and thought provoking.

    I took a while explaining it to the mem sahib.

    I never cared for Heinlein much, I'm more of a Dick man (Philip K).

    I like them both, have you ever read The Forever War by Joe Haldeman?

    If not, you should, before they make the movie and spoil it slightly.

    How would they handle the subject matter? I read it a few years ago along with the Accidental time machine.

    I used to read SF till it was coming out of my ears as a youth and still for me no-one can touch PKD for ideas. It makes me laugh when they talk about Ridley Scott's Blade runner as though he'd actually written it.
