Watched It's a wonderful life for the first time this afternoon, really good imo & Jimmy Stewart was a brave actor for taking on the role that was so unusual (apart from Harvey) and away from his regular leading man role; If you haven't seen it then you are missing a classic BUT JS is a true "great" and has a catalogue of top films 8/10.

Then onto the cinema this evening for The Last Jedi, not bad, over long a felt that 20 minutes editing could have sharpened it; some good cgi but really the story and characters are more important than speed and size and noise, a reasonable continuation of the franchise with out being stand alone good. 7/10

I also had a triple big mac, 2 pints of coke, fries, popcorn and a macflurry; gave me wind:sad:

Thanks Dave, good review!
 
1. Detroit. Very good 8/10

2. Brimstone. Very good. Guy Pearce is excellent. 9/10

3. Valerian and the City Of a Thousand Planets. Pure escapism and enjoyed it greatly. 7/10

4. Spotlight. For about the 6th time. One of my all time favs. 9/10

5. Bastille Day. Not bad. 7/10

6. Tulip Fever. Superb. Alicia Vikander ......well, what's not to like. 8/10
 
Finally managed to see TLJ, take the Mary Poppins scene out of it and it was a good film
 
The last Jedi. 8/10

Quite a few non Star Wars style scenes and a few too many out of character smart arse comments from Luke.

The bombardment of the retreating rebel fleet was a bit **** as well.

It added nothing to the overall story.

  Spoiler:  
They broke in. They got caught as DJ was a baddie. 30 mins of CGI for that?

Will expand when on pc at some point but I thought it built a new world, showed another side of tye galaxy to Finn and expanded the overall theme of failure.
 
Ladybird - Saorise Ronan plays the titular character in being a 17yr old American teen before she goes to "college". Not much happens, but it's decent. 8/10
 
The Darkest Hour - UNMISSABLE- not even going to rate it. One of the finest films I’ve seen ever. I hadn’t seen any previews, just watched it here on impulse. Pretty much dialogue all the way and not for one minute did I look at my watch.
 
Coco - Latest Pixar. Now whilst it's beautiful to look at, I felt unmoved by the actual story - which for Pixar is usually not the issue. May need a second watch, but initially 6.5/10.
 
Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Crime/very black comedy tale of a grieving angry mother and a town of useless, racist cops. Jolly good. 8/10
