Sin City 2 It passed an hour and a half but - to be honest - I felt like I was watching a compilation of cliches.:(
 
Die Hard is the best Christmas film.
 
The new TMNT film. Better than I'd expected. But it still mostly made me angry. Will post in the TMNT thread when I find it.

Any comments to offer? Since it's based on an excellent novel (Conjure Wife by Fritz Leiber, later the basis for the very good film Burn, Witch, Burn AKA Night of the Eagle) I am curious about this adaptation.

I really enjoyed it but I am a fan of Lon Chaney Jr so I may be bias. I only gave it 3 stars on Letterboxd though. I watched it on Svengoolie so it's likely better without the commercial interruptions. I've only caught a few scenes from Burn, Witch, Burn on TCM so I'm not sure how they compare. I did add Fritz Leiber's Conjure Wife to my to-read shelf on goodreads as a reminder to check it out later.
 
Da (1988) One of my favourite films. Charlie (Martin Sheen) - a New York playwright - gets a call from Ireland about the death of his father (Barnard Hughes). Once in Ireland he encounters his Da's spirit and remembers times both good and bad. It's a wonderful movie and Barnard Hughes would be the absolute star of it, were it not for the dog who hates all things Catholic.
 
Just watched Turtles Forever. Which is an animated TMNT film. Probably for fans only, as it's like different versions of the turtles coming together, so you've got the 2003 versions meeting the '87 ones, then all meeting the original comic ones. Really good, except, as a watcher of the 87 version, the way they were shown as constantly irritating and stupid was a bit sad.
 
Hey Mouse, I did see part of that one. I agree, they made them seem really dumb. I'll take the 80's turtles over the 2003 ones any day!
 
Yeah, they were daft but they weren't completely stupid and silly all the time! I do like that they kept 80s Raphael 4th wall thing in though. :D
 
Inherent Vice.

The wife's comment on leaving the cinema sums it up. "Well that was odd".

Great cast, cinematography and costumes with some very funny moments but exactly what was really happening is a mystery.
 
I've been struck down with flu so watching DVD's is the order of the day.

I watched the new Godzilla which was ok, Life Without Beth, Inbetweeners 2 and Party Down, Series 1.

Watching Eerie Indiana at the moment.
 
Fury (2014). A bleak, gritty and at times quite unpleasant portrayal of a tank crew during WW11. Reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan, but with a more realistic attitude. Tough movie but worth the effort, imho.
 
MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT. Good almost fantasy with Colin Firth as a debunker of the supernatural. Woody Allen wrote and directed. Well plotted and enjoyable.
 
Jupiter Ascending

Ignore the critics; this movie was actually really good. I will admit that the ending left a few threads hanging loose, and I wish the winged lizard creatures had more to do. Other than that, I found the movie really enjoyable. Loved the visual effects--well worth the 6-month postponement.
 
The Maze Runner, I really enjoyed this tremendously, good story, action and suspense with great visuals. Not read the book yet but would like to.
