The teaser trailer for the new Power Rangers movie. It looks like I shall be enjoying this one!

Also, they have everything but a Twitter account to promote it? Weird.

**Edit** Forget that. They are using @ThePowerRangers... :belm:

It's neat that Bryan Cranston is back, after having done some of the voices for the monsters in the original series. Dunno why they didn't put him in the trailer.

If you haven't watched the Siege of Jadotville, watch the Siege of Jadotville. And then read about it. As an (half) Irishman I'm slightly embarrassed I'd never heard of it. Really really quite astonishing and sad story (particularly the aftermath).

Saw 'Demolition' last night (free on Google Play for O2 customers at the mo if you have the priority app thing).

Not a bad film, but not great either. As it's essentially about how a bloke (Jake Gyllenhaal) works through his grief after the death of his wife, there isn't a huge amount of story in there, so two-thirds of the way in and I was starting to lose interest, but it does build to a good ending.

Some good stuff in the soundtrack too, like Free's 'Mr Big' which I'm listening to at the moment. :)

I should get round to watching The Force Awakens at some point, but have found it hard to drum up the motivation to do so. It's sat there on the NAS, Mrs Hearthly and Jnr saw it at the pictures and also at home and say it's very good.

If you're not interested to the extent that you have to "drum up motivation" then it's probably best to not bother.

Not true. I did this with the first Avengers movie. Missed it at the cinema, never bothered to download it but caught it on channel 4. I really enjoyed it!

Haven't watched the second one yet though...

Room (2015) - sort of like a super bleak Kimmy Schmidt. Brie Larson (who got the best actress Oscar for the role) plays the mother of a five year old boy; they are living in captivity in a soundproofed shed. Up until ten minutes from the end, I couldn't have guessed if it would end hopefully or shatteringly depressingly. And I'm not going to spoil it by telling you which. I don't want to say any more, the less you know the better.

Strongly recommended. It's on Amazon Prime streaming.

The Girl on the train

Bit of a slow burner but picks up speed, a great ending.

I watched BLOOD FATHER with Mel Gibson in it.

Overall the film was good but this is mostly down to the better cast members, particularly Gibson himself who may be a bit of a questionable chap IRL on occasion but can certainly deliver a fantastic onscreen presence. Unfortunately the character of his daughter is either written a bit wrong or acted a bit wrong and she's something of a weak link in what needs to be a convincing and pivotal role.

It's very much a by-the-numbers genre piece in many regards, elevated to the status of a recommended watch by virtue of great performances from (most of) the cast, along with some lovely cinematography and well constructed action sequences.

Also it should be more violent, I note it's got a 15 off the BBFC and some of the violence felt a bit curtailed, maybe some snips to get the R rating in the US, not sure - I definitely wanted more crunchy and squishy stuff going on though.

7.5/10 - Definitely worth a look.

After the ridiculously long blood and torture porn of his Christ movie, I don't think there's any chance of that.

At a compact 80 minutes or so (when the credits are discounted) I felt it was paced about right, when you bring it down to brass tacks the story is very simple and not a huge amount of 'stuff' actually happens - so the running time seemed fine to me.

I also felt the story arc was spot on and it ended as it needed to. Although once again the weak link of Gibson's daughter really didn't help on that count.

Just to bring some sanity back: I watched Blood Father and it was dogshit. Narrative, cinematography, editing, characters, portrayal and dialogue: dogshit. It's 80 minutes long and still took me 3 sittings to watch it in its entirety. Dog. Shit. 1 steaming dogturd out of ten.

It had about 20 minutes left and I was bored.

Anyway, if you like daft horror films you could do worse than "Don't Breathe." It has the dubious honer of being the only film I know where there's a sexual assault by turkey baster.

Sounds to me like Ian should cheer himself up with a further viewing of Discopathe.

Welcome back as well old chap :)

As for Blood Father, it's a comfortably above average film, mostly thanks to crazy old Mel but also a good percentage of the cast, and I think it'd be hard to argue that it isn't very well shot and generally well written/directed/etc.

The general critical consensus out there is about the same, so I'd suggest folks give it a watch and make up their own minds. At 80 minutes minus credits it's not like a 'The Dark Knight' exercise in dreary tedium that never delivers a payoff of any note whatsoever, which you only get to realise after two and a half hours that feels like a million years.

Had a rare night out with my wife Friday and went to see The Girl on the Train at the cinema.

It was a compromise for me as my wife didn't like any of the other options.

Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, good film and a pleasant change from what I normally watch.
