Fascinating story
Powerful
A very interesting film about Churchill during the Darkest hour. He was hastedly put in place as prime minister, had a King who doubted him and his own war cabinet wanted to explore peace talks as the Germans advance on Dunkirk.
Gary Oldman will surely win the best Actor award at the Oscars for his amazing performance. This peek behind the scenes in the war rooms and Churchill in general at such an important point in the war is fascinating.

Gripping remake lets it's Scandi roots show.
Contains spoilers, click to show
A truly excellent thriller, this U.S. remake of a Norwegian film retains the feel of it's Scandinavian genesis.
Tense, twitchy and enthralling with fantastic performances, potent settings, and a great script and direction.

Pacino plays an L.A. cop hiding from his own guilt while investigating the death of a girl in Alaska.
Robin Williams is chillingly convincing as the manipulative bad man, proving yet again that he was a masterful actor as well as a gifted comedian.
  
I really need to remember that if I wouldn't want to hang around with the main character, I'm not going to enjoy the book. The girl is an idiot I would ditch in less time than it would take her to update her Facebook status. I'm assuming this thing was ghostwritten, as is normal for most books released by actors. I hate seeing an actor whose work I enjoy associated with something so puerile. I hope she gets some honest acting work again soon!

"Get your ass to Mars."
So, I didn't actually see this film until the remake was in the process of being made. The film is based upon 'We Can Remember it for You Wholesale' by Phillip K. Dick (which is excellent). Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't an award winning actor, but he was completely entertaining (as he is in most films). The weird, early 1990s SFX where a little bizarre, e.g., the face generator. Overall, it's entertaining and well paced, and I may just watch it again this afternoon.

Well, the remake was a poor interpretation of Total Recall, BUT, I liked it as a sci-fi action movie.

There are roles that feel like they were written for the actor. The main character feels like he was written for Matt Damon. I did read the book first and it was easy to picture Matt Damon as a witty braniac botanist. Probably because at the end of the day that's just who he is.

This movie is about a man's surviving, not only the untamed dessert wasteland that makes Mars, but also the crippling aloness of being the only human for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Sweet timekiller
I haven't read the book so went in with an open mind as it was recommended by Netflix.
Definitely an enjoyable watch but heavily predictable.
Watch if you're looking for a feelgood girly movie to kill some time.
Also personally a little conflicted as Lara Jean was fab but didn't believe Janel Parrish as her sister and although she's a great actor it felt as if she was cast just to raise the profile of the movie.

The timeline and research blew my mind
I didn’t know if I was going to like a book purely delivering a take on Greek mythology, turns out I loved it. Circe is pretty much the sole actor on stage and she captivates you with her thoughts, decisions, deeds and most of all her growth into the goddess she was destined to be. The writing was superb.

I recommend this to all my friends to just give it a go, even if you think it’s not your thing.

Feel like this has been underappreciated
I really find this funny! I'm a huge fan of John Malkovich too, which is coming from someone that had seen Con Air about 10 times before realizing he is Cyrus the Virus!! (Fantastic actor!) Helen Mirren isn't your usual Older British lady either, she's elegant, classy and DEADLY AND BELIEVABLE. It's the right mixture of action and comedy would definitely recommend.

This early slice of Van Damme action is one seriously cheesy movie (you know you're in trouble when he's the best actor in the movie) containing some laughably bad moments (the kid trying to do the JCVD accent in a flashback scene to name one of many). Despite all that it's actually allot of fun and doesn't take itself that seriously, once the tournament and the fighting starts the action scenes are very entertaining with a memorably satisfying final showdown. Switch your brain off and enjoy.
