I watched a strange programme last night on Really. It was like Most Haunted but with American People. It featured this place: Scary for some, a home from home for others...........
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.
Which would you suggest I start with? Revenant seems obvious, I haven't seen any of them yet.
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.

In the Foreign Film category:
A War - Danish.
Looks very promising.
Seems to be starring a young Mesut Ozil...
Is that a Turkish ethnic look, Outcast, or just coincidence?
