Goggins was also in Django Unchained. He looks to have been added to the Tarantino roster. QT plans on making at least one more Western, because he claims they're always done in threes. My main issue with it was I could largely work out what would happen. We get the wordy opening where we meet most of the principals, then there's a double cross and some blood letting, we get some non linear stuff which tells us what went before and fills in some of the blanks, then the final blood soaked ending where hardly anyone gets out alive.

Spoilers............... no-one gets out alive.
 
Saw Spotlight last night. It doesn't blow your socks off, but you don't realise until the end how compelling a tale it is, and how convincingly it is performed by all involved. It's not a thriller, not Hollywoody...it's real. It makes you feel something. And stays with you past the ending.

It's hard to choose between that and The Revenant, which did (slowly) blow socks off. I'd take Spotlight, mainly because I would happily see it again.

Spotlight was well made, no doubt but I felt it ran the numbers and we all knew the outcome ie there were (are?) a lot of pedo priests.

You liked it? I battled not to turn it off. I'm all Tom Hardy'd out.

Yeah, I loved it sans the pitstop in the middle. Will go down as one of the greatest action movies of all time - an outrageous tour-de-force with a woman as the co-lead. Thought Max was one of the weaker links but Furiosa, Immortan Joe and The Doof Warrior were superb.

Yep agree, definitely one of the best action movies I've seen, just non stop balls to the wall.
 
The Mad Max action is awesome, but the plot is wafer-thin and the obsession with the orange/blue contrast fad made me want to punch George Miller in the face.
 
Just watched The Elephant Man (on the IQ) for first time in about 15+ years.....brilliant film but still depressing...

It had a plot? I enjoyed it as an extended chase scene, but thought it was highly overrated for all the buzz about it. My favourite bit was the guy with the dual guitar flamethrower.

Ha ha - what was that all about? Strange indeed.

The scene where he is first featured is my favourite of the year. Chopper coming in, music blaring, pans in front of the speaker-laden truck and The Doof Warrior lets fly with some flames. Epic.
 
Vin Diesel is more powerful than the Catholic Church!

I just watched 'Spotlight'. It left me angry and depressed so I watched 'The Last Witch Hunter' to lighten my mood, however Vin Diesel's portrayal as the immortal Kaulder left me in tears of anguish.

There's nothing in that movie that would make me even think about watching it.

I did enjoy The Wire with JGL.
 
I see Ghostbusters is due out this July with a all girl team. Certainly going a little different from the original movie 30 years ago.
