Sisters with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Very funny. Some of the humor may not be everyone's cup of tea but I thought is was great.
Also saw Stars Wars:The Force Awakens which I loved - almost cried in one scene but I am a Stars Wars tragic.
A while ago I watched Trainwreck with Amy Schumer. Like Sisters some people may find the humor a bit crass, but I have seen her stuff on TV and enjoyed the film. Cameo performance by LeBron James was great.

Saw sisters last night at a little theatre in yarraville, (yes I missed Tarantino and OMG Kurt Russell in the flesh by less than 24 hours, bugger) not bad, never seen such an audience reaction, the whole place was laughing its head off! I'll have to buy the DVD even with a hearing aide I missed at least half the jokes. And afte pr what we went though last year, I had a bit of a problem with certain bits of the story! Good night though, good company, my first glass of wine in two weeks!

Watched a few over the last week:
Creed 7.5/10
The wife and I both enjoyed it, and inspired me to show her Rocky.
Rocky II downloading now. Good performance by Stallone and really good by the kid.
Concussion 7/10
I don't really like Will Smith and wish someone else did this movie.
Was a little hollywood mushy but obviously important to us, and did a pretty good job introducing the technicalities of the condition and the history, particularly the NFL reluctance.
Spotlight 9.5/10
Super performances so must have been brilliantly directed and cast.
Great story and will go down as a classic movie about journalism.
Really got local and gritty and never over did anything.
Totally loved it.
Best I've seen since 12 years a slave.
I just googled and happy to see its nominated for heaps of oscars.

The Revenant.
Took me a while to figure out if I liked it or not, driving home in a sort of trance, like, what did I just watch? But answer is yes, I liked it. Bit gruesome in parts, but in keeping with the story, not gratuitous. Leo was very good.
Time went fast too, usually with longer movies I'm ready for them to end ages before they do, this one surprised me when it ended.
I'd give it 4 out of 5 I think.

I still love watching that, and other Rodney Dangerfield movies. Much like the Chris Farley movies as well.stui magpie wrote:Back to school with Rodney Dangerfield.
ROFL.
I watched a fair few movies lately, I confess to a Netflix addiction, it was my hot Valentine's Date the other day.... Anyway I watched 'Just Friends' with Ryan Reynolds, and also 'Waiting...' enjoyed both, and then last night I watched 'The Change-up' with Jason Bateman, Leslie Mann and Ryan Reynolds.
Another one of those switching type movies where Ryan and Jason (Mitch and Dave in the movie) switch lives after pissing in a fountain and wishing to have each others lives. I watched it late last year but watched it again last night.
I've also watched some documentaries, 'The Bridge' about suicides from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco, and also Trophy Kids a documentary about parents living through their children and pushing them towards 'greatness' in sports, and damaging their relationships etc.
Both were quite good, very sad seeing actual footage of people leaping from the bridge to take their own lives though and hearing the stories of those left behind.
Trophy Kids was a bit sad as well, seeing one child (Justus) abused beyond belief by his dad for having a girlfriend and then not wanting to talk about that, and also at training him not understanding a play. Then hearing one dad wanting to punch out the coach losing the opportunity to see his son play etc.
Both are on Netflix right now, and I watched them both over the last few days.

Shame. last two films were great to watch - although they could turn the air con up a bit more.David wrote:^ Andrew Bolt's favourite film, apparently. Not even joking!
Lola was there too. I had Ingmar duties for the second Wednesday in a row.
Last night was magnificent.
Truly a masterpiece. I was worried I might get bored but this was enchanting, wonderful & skilful all in one.

I really must see it! Only ever watched the one Visconti film, Rocco and His Brothers. I've heard this one is stylistically very different, though. Maybe I'll come along next week.
Also, TP, lol. Very funny.
