Ender's Game. If you like watching kids play video games, and you're still a fan of Harrison Ford, and you don't care too much for plot logic and you really want a twisted message for kids (genocide is ok, really) then you will love this movie.
I sense some some sarcasm, but it does sound like the kind of film I'd like, and I'm certain that my 9 year old son would like it.
Went to see Gravity last night. Disappointing. Great special effects but a weak storyline and in the end pure Hollywood. It's getting rave reviews as well which I just don't understand.
If you enjoyed the first Thor, you will definitely like the second. If you were on the fence about the first, you should still see the second - it's a similar style but improved in every aspect, to different degrees admittedly. If you did NOT like the first, definitely avoid the second, it's more of the same, albeit done better.
Good acting (seriously), the action is easily as good as Man Of Steel/Dark Knight Rises/Iron Man 3, and there are a good few genuine deep laughs to be had as well. Highly recommended by me!
watched prince avalanche the other day. Not a bad film. both characters were really great to watch, they played of each other brilliantly. but if you can't stand a slow film don't bother watching.
Captain Phillips......the build up to the boarding by the pirates ensured that the film was tense until the very end....excellent film.
Agreed. It's testimony to Paul Greengrass that even though I knew what was coming he managed to maintain the tension throughout the whole film. Wouldn't be surprised if Barkhad Abdi gets a best supporting actor nomination in next years Oscars either. Scary man!

Very scary indeed.....great film that will stand the test of time.
Saw captain phillips last week, enjoyable if perhaps slightly too long. Hanks excellent as always. Seeing philomena later this week, sounds good.
Agree with this. As an aside (without giving too much away) I thought Tom Hanks was, for most of the film, good without being excellent, but towards the very end, in quite an emotional scene, he pretty much won the Best Actor Oscar. Those who've seen it will know what I mean.
I saw Capt Phillips recently. Thought it was very well done and tension maintained throughout. Sometimes Tom Hanks annoys me a bit, but not at all in this, he is excellent. I'd give it 8/10 as though it is a well done film of its type, it doesn't stand out that much for me and wouldn't make my top 5.

When you say top 5 Hans , do you mean of the year , or all time?

Really interesting film that had me hooked really early on.
7 out of 10
Good cast , Christopher Ecclestone , Idris Elba & of course Natalie Portman ... whats not too like!
8.5 out of 10 for me , took my 13 and 17 year old sons who loved it.
Loved the scenes round London , especially Greenwich , can't believe they almost picked Croydon on the map! :-0
If you do go to see it , make sure you stay till the credits go up as theres an extra bit too watch at the end.

It's a bit silly but enjoyable
Captain Philips is getting some really good reviews on here , have yet to see it, interested in marks out of 10.

Nothing much to recommend here. Lots of shooting but that's about it.

Made me laugh out loud three or four times but it could have been much funnier.
