Creed
- pretty much alike the Rocky movies, but with Stallone taking a back
seat a little as a trainer. Not as good as earlier Rocky movies though.
2.5/5

The 5th Wave
The 5th Wave - very disappointing, very predictable (I guessed the
slight twist as soon as troops drove into refugee camp - hint where did
they get their power from?). Aimed at teenage audience who may like it. I
guess there will be a sequel as it is so poor. 2/5
Exposed
Exposed - very poor thriller starts with a hint of supernatural, but turns out t be a damp squib. 1/5

Solace
Solace - A psychic detective tracks a psychic murderer nice twist of an idea. Not a bad thriller either. 3/5

The Revenant
The Revenant - is another movie tipped for awards. That explains why you
could easily loose 40 mins from this (did Tarantino direct this LOL)
and still make more sense of the story. 2.5/5
The Big Short
The Big Short - I would advise anybody who still does not fully
understand what happened with the financial collapse in 2008 to watch
this. It tells in simple terms using acting what happened and terms to
understand. The summing up at the end is simply what I have been saying
since it happened. But I still find many who do not fully get it. It was
fraud on a massive scale to the taxpayers. Well worth a watch! 3.5/5

Black Mass
Black Mass - well acted but not that exciting as it is based closely on true events surrounding gangster Whitey Bulger. 3/5

The Hateful Eight
The Hateful Eight - I am not a big Tarantino fan and this movies
reinforces that. You could easily lose the first hour of this movie as
it is mostly superfluous to the story, which as usual is played back out
of order, flashbacks if you like. Probably the last hour of the movie
is where the story is at and it is a kind of western whodunit? With the
usual bloody violent scenes that Tarantino loves. 2/5

The Intern
The Intern - was surprisingly a good watch with a very human story, the ending though was too sudden and unexpected. 3/5
