    Pearce's, I've been following it with the US broadcasts and it continues to be very dark. Much better than the first season imo ;ok

    Outcast yeah last season was too much set up and not much story this season has already been much more interesting

    Any thoughts on the likely Oscar for Best Film?

    Missed out on The Martian but hope to see Spotlight,
    The Big Short and Room this week.

    The ones I have seen:
    Bridge Of Spies - very well-acted, very worthy and rather dull.
    Brooklyn - A nice film, I was informed. All I probably needed to know.
    The Revenant - Overstayed its welcome despite a sadly understated cameo by The Bear.

    In the Foreign Film category:
    A War - Danish.

    I loved bridge of spies, but the story is so strong that Tom Hanks didn't have to work that hard. It's bound to pick up a bauble or two ;ok

    Which would you suggest I start with? Revenant seems obvious, I haven't seen any of them yet.

    Just watched the first episode of Mr Robot.

    Looks very promising.

    Seems to be starring a young Mesut Ozil...

    Is that a Turkish ethnic look, Outcast, or just coincidence?

    Of the three that I have seen I don't think I would suggest any as "must-see" but I've enjoyed all of them. The Revenant could have been easily trimmed by about 20 minutes, Brooklyn was nice, Bridge Of Spies didn't have much tension because I knew the outcome in advance.

    Faced with a choice I would opt for Spotlight but then I haven't even seen it myself yet.

    Also The Assassin. I don't think it's on any Oscar list but it's about a 9th Century Chinese girl who is kidnapped by an order of nuns, trained to be a killer and then sent out to rid the land of corruption. Based on a true story, apparently.

    Deadpool was good

    In preparation for the new X Files, Chris Carter has selected 20 episodes of the original series as a sort of 'essential prequel'.

    Going to start on them tonight. ;biggrin

    My local independent cinema did a screening of Labryinth as a tribute to David Bowie. I was too young to see it the first time round so talked his nibs into taking me. Was so good to see it in the cinema.

    Next week they are showing Galaxy Quest as a tribute to Alan Rickman. Why they've picked that film and not Die Hard or Truly, Madly, Deeply I don't know!

    The Martian is excellent, but I suspect that Matt Damon is going to lose out to Leonardo DiCaprio for the Best Actor Oscar. I'd really like to see both of them win at some point, but Matt Damon did win Best Screenplay for Good Will Hunting.

    Good choice!

    I'd imagine Truly Madly Deeply would have more limited appeal, and he's not really the star of Die Hard.

    But I'm biased, as Galaxy Quest is one of my faves. ;biggrin

    What about Robin Hood Prince of Thieves? He stole that one from Kevin Costner ;biggrin
