Watched The Hitman's Bodyguard yesterday - Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. Lots of "Mother Hubbarding" from the latter - as you'd expect - but a good take-your-brain-out action comedy movie - 7/10.

Joker.

Story was decent enough, better than average. Few twists and turns to keep your attention.

Without spoiling it, the ending is up for interpretation on so many different levels, which is what I really liked about it. I’m still thinking about it now, and working out the the different possibilities.

Phoenix was truly superb and is nailed on for the Oscar. Hauntingly convincing performance.

Hoping to see him reprise the role at some point in the future - and the fact that it’s made so much money would surely indicate that he will.

The Lion King. Stunning and well worth a watch.

I haven't seen this yet but I watched Aladdin the other day. was pretty good I thought.

It went a little strange towards the end but overall it was a lot better than expected it to be.

Watched Papillon the remake not as good as the original but they never are but still watchable

Fire in Babylon

On amazon prime at the moment. Story of the west indies cricket team of the 70's and 80's going from perennial losers to unbeaten in test cricket for 15 years! Being a child in the 80's I don't have any 1st hand memories of the team. Clive Lloyd and Sir Viv Richards are amazing men, if you are a cricket fan it's a must watch and even if you aren't I'm sure it will entertain.

Probably, it's a 2010 film so expect it has been on terrestrial TV

I do remember it being jolly good and I'm not the biggest cricket fan in the world.

Great film, in terms of social and sporting history. And a cracking soundtrack!

Avatar - Saw it in 3D at the cinema when it first came out and it blew me away. Got the DVD and this latest viewing tonight must be the 3rd or 4th time we've watched it since. Absolutely great film which I never tire of. 9/10.

I really liked this film so dark and well acted and I agree the ending leaves so much to viewers interpretation.I read they have no plans for a sequel but as you say the box office figures were massive and plenty more to explore with the character so another film must be likely somewhere down the line

I think I have to install him as my favourite Joker of all time, narrowly edging out Heath Ledger.

I can see Joaquin reprising his Joker for the latest Batman reboot series.

They’ll offer him a blank cheque, to sign up for it.

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Nick Broomfield's excellent documentary Marriane & Leonard :Words of Love last night .A wonderful documenary on Leonard Cohen's love affair with his muse Marrianne Thein.Hydra looked stunning.

Diego Maradona - A documentary about the rise and very large fall of DM. Addicted to drugs, in bed with the mafia, loved & hated in equal measure. Great film, definitely worth a watch.
