  1. Donnie Brasco Great wee gangster film here. Not a fan of Johnny Depp but he is excellent in this along with Pacino. Pretty simple storyline but very enjoyable and unexpectedly funny too. 8/10
  2. What a fucking episode. Bit gutted Carl isn't dead though... Also realised that the black guy with the dreads played Dre in Straight Outta Compton.
  3. Straight Outta Compton - 8/10 Thoroughly enjoyed this. Great performances all round, especially Ice Cube Jr and the guy who played Dre. Obviously a great soundtrack too. Spotlight - 8/10 Another brilliant ensemble performance, albeit in a very different film. Sterling stuff from Michael Keaton once again. The Big Short - 8/10 It took a while to get used to the off the wall style in this but I found it rather refreshing. Quite a few chuckles to be had in this which I wasn't really expecting - it's not quite Wolf of Wall Street levels of good but it's getting there. Powerhouse showing from Steve Carell as well (there's a gut-wrenching moment when he's talking to his wife about his brother.) The Revenant - 7/10 It looks amazing and the acting is superb but I found it a bit of a slog tbh. Too long and the story just wasn't as gripping as it could've been. Reckon Leo will finally get the Oscar for it though.
  4. I'm pretty sure Avery's lawyers have said, although I'm not sure it was in the documentary, that he had made an appointment with Halbach through her employer's office. She, and the people she worked with, knew where she was going and who she was going to see. It doesn't mean he didn't kill her but the caller ID stuff therefore makes no difference.
  5. The Hateful Eight - 7/10 Enjoyable enough but a bit of a let down. Probably my least favourite Tarantino film. Tim Roth was brilliant but it was Walton Goggins who was the star of the show for me.
  6. The Godfather: Part III - 7.5/10 Finally got round to watching this and I was pleasantly surprised. It's obviously not on the same level as the first two but still a decent film with Pacino as good as ever. I've read a few reviews and a lot seem to be panning Sofia Coppola's performance but I actually thought she was good as Michael's daughter, might just be that I fancy her a bit though! Andy Garcia was decent as well but it definitely missed Robert Duvall.
  7. Nope, it failed to send. Oh aye. Probably the best single season of TV I've ever seen.
  8. Spirited Away - 7/10 This was a bit of a letdown for me, the animation is obviously brilliant but the story didn't really grab me. I much preferred Grave of the Fireflies. Felt the same about My Neighbor Totoro as well (7/10).
  9. Death Proof - 8/10 Another one I wasn't expecting too much from but I was thoroughly entertained. Great soundtrack, and a great performance from Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike. The lap dance scene isn't bad either.
  10. Tbh I just feel like watching the first series again in order to block out the memory of this series. The last two episodes weren't bad though.
  11. Miller's Crossing - 9/10 This caught me by surprise a bit actually, one of the best gangster films I've seen and probably my favourite Coen brothers film so far. Great performances all round.
  12. It's got to be It's a Wonderful Life for me.
  13. Well yeah Tywin was one of the most powerful people in the Kingdom but really he was only important to the future of House Lannister, without him everything has gone to shit for them, but the Kingdom can continue on...until the White Walkers invade.
  14. Tywin, Ned and Robb were nowhere near as important as Jon to the future of Westeros. Aye but what was happening with her pulling off all the faces and then the last one being her own? And then the Waif turning into Jaqen?
  15. I can confirm Melkweg is still fucking quality.
  16. Right: "Jon" might be dead but I've convinced myself that he's Azor Ahai, he is simply too important to be completely out of it. I just don't believe the producers when they insist he is gone, maybe I'm an idiot. Also don't understand why they didn't show Stannis dying but I don't see any point in continuing his storyline. Theon and Sansa will definitely still be alive. Can anyone actually explain what the f**k actually happened in the House of Faces? I agree with most that don't think this season has been as fucking amazing as most seasons before it but I reckon next year has the potential to be much better; The Mountain kicking shit up in King's Landing against the Sparrow nutters, the all out war between the Lannisters and Dorne, the return of the Greyjoys (hopefully they don't f**k it up like they have with Dorne so far), Bran hopefully being badass etc. No idea what's going to happen with Dany and the Dothraki though, hopefully it's not another full season of fannying about. Interested to see where the Tyrells go from here, as well as Littlefinger.
  17. I was wondering that as well but Rise Against and A Day To Remember are on at the same time so sadly I think I'll have to give it a miss. I would think they'll have the England game on the Sunday but not sure if they'll have our one.
  18. Yeah Stannis can die now, he had been a top guy so far this season but nope, he is an utter b*****d. Hopefully he defeats the Boltons with Melissandre's black magic then Brienne pops up and slits his throat.
  19. Phenomenal last 15mins. The Night's King and the rest of the White Walkers looked incredible. I think the guy on Thronecast said there is reckoned to be around 200 Valyrian blades kicking about, but that might be a load of shite. ETA: I think the final two episodes are going to be absolutely fucking huge.
  20. Sound. Keep an eye out for a purple Ayr top!
  21. Is anyone else heading down to Download? And is it still acceptable etiquette to wear a football top?
  22. I don't think you could really call it a snag in the sense that Mr. Echo and his merry band of slavers are literally going to be taking them straight to Mereen. Completely disagree on Cersei as well, in the long term this is a terrible plan.
