Hi All, I watched via (Sky Cinema) 'Kingsman' Don't know what all the fuss was about it being a spectacular film just felt like I was watching a chav version of a James Bond rip off in it! Having said that a good bit of escapism..... What I did notice about the film was for the first time ever in my case, it appeared to have a political agenda about it with the Samuel Jackson character continually banging on about global warming at every opportunity which detracts I think from the film itself sad to say......
Starring:-Taron Egerton,Alex Nikolov,Colin Firth,Samuel L. Jackson,Mark Strong,Michael Caine,Sophie Cookson,Sofia Boutella, Samantha Womack,Edward Holcroft,Mark Hamill,Jack Davenport,Tom Prior,Jack Cutmore-Scott,Lily Travers,Richard Brake, Hanna Alström,Andrei Lenart and Corey Johnson.
Gary "Eggsy" Unwin (Taron Egerton), whose late father secretly worked for a spy organization, lives in a South London housing estate and seems headed for a life behind bars. However, dapper agent Harry Hart (Colin Firth) recognizes potential in the youth and recruits him to be a trainee in the secret service. Meanwhile, villainous Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) launches a diabolical plan to solve the problem of climate change via a worldwide killing spree.
Geoff. I liked this better than the last James Bond outing SPHINCTER which was like an advert for every product known to man.The trouble with the latest Bond movies is that they actually try to take themselves seriously but the bad guys still can't hit fcuk all when firing a gun at 007.One of the best things about Kingsman is that he's a Millwall supporter whereas 007 has QPR written all over him.

Hi All, @dolliebloo - My daughter never watched Sing after all, Amy is allegedly she is off to watch Trainspotting 2 of coarse like any sensible parent would (Me ? ) I advised her to watch T1 first as T2 was a continuation just got a blank look and said not bothered ...
Anyway last night I watched via (Sky Cinema) another low budget Sci-Fi/Drama Narcopolis a drugs and time travel film featuring recognisable British actors. Although not a lot of action and just a smidgen of CGI it is watchable be warned pretty flat and a bit confusing at times for the first 1hr, after that it starts to make more sense with a good twist at the end. I actually quite enjoyed the film as far as it went....
Starring:-Elliot Cowan,Élodie Yung,onathan Pryce,Robert Bathurst,Harry Lloyd as Ben Grieves Louis Trefgarne,Nicky Henson, Rufus Wright,Molly Gaisford,Cosima Shaw,Adam Sims,James Callis and Kerry Shale.
In the near future within the UK, Frank, a police officer, discovers that the legalization of all recreational drugs comes with a price.

Hi All, Finally got around to watching the Mad Max reboot (Sky Cinema) a good watchable film that stands alone from the previous three that starred Mel Gibson I must admit though these will always be my favourites well 1 & 2 anyway The film is another fast paced action film that although quite long passes quite quickly and can easily be watched again, only one personal negative is I am not a big fan of the jerky sped up scenes apart from that enjoyed it thoroughly and I am looking forward to the next in the rebooted franchise.........
Starring:-Tom Hardy,Charlize Theron,Nicholas Hoult,Hugh Keays-Byrne,Rosie Huntington-Whiteley,Riley Keough,Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee,Courtney Eaton Josh Helman,Nathan Jones,John Howard,Richard Carter,Angus Sampson,iOTA,Megan Gale,Melissa Jaffer,Melita Jurisic, Gillian Jones, Joy Smithers,Antoinette Kellerman,Christina Koch,Kellerman,Quentin Kenihan and Jon Iles.
Years after the collapse of civilization, the tyrannical Immortan Joe enslaves apocalypse survivors inside the desert fortress the Citadel. When the warrior Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) leads the despot's five wives in a daring escape, she forges an alliance with Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), a loner and former captive. Fortified in the massive, armored truck the War Rig, they try to outrun the ruthless warlord and his henchmen in a deadly high-speed chase through the Wasteland.

Hi All, I watched the excellent biopic about an Indian math genius Srinivasa Ramanujan via (Sky Cinema) I well recommend this to any biopic fan in particular or a drama fan for that matter. Great acting from all the cast and the story plays out well from beginning to end....
Starring:-Dev Patel,Jeremy Irons,Devika Bhise,Toby Jones,Stephen Fry,Jeremy Northam,Kevin McNally,Enzo Cilenti and Arundhati Nag.
The Man Who Knew Infinity is a 2015 British biographical drama film based on the 1991 book of the same name by Robert Kanigel. Srinivasa Ramanujan, a mathematician who after growing up poor in Madras, India, earns admittance to Cambridge University during World War I, where he becomes a pioneer in mathematical theories with the guidance of his professor, G. H. Hardy.
