I just finished watching Still Alice with Julianne Moore.
I don't think that I'll ever be the same again......a very emotionally charged film.

Watched the Hobbit 3 last night.
I enjoyed it but for me the second movie in the trilogy was better.
If you are into the series already - no way out you will have to see it's conclusion

Lords of London...........what a heap of shite, expected a gangster movie instead got this, I understand the concept, but with the cast etc the last thing that I expected was this piece of shit...up to yourselves, but my advice is to avoid at all costs.
Curiosity kept me watching and hoping, but a big fat fucking NO! for this one.

I watched a sci-fi movie with Ethan Hawke called Predestination. First hour or so it wasn't anything like a sci fi. Just a character narative then it took a hit of cocaine or something and started to lay on the twists and they kept going and going. One of those time travel paradox kind of movies. It did a real number on my brain which I've said before I really like in a film so I guess it was ok.

The first Green Street was good when I was about 15, I'd probably not watch it now though. I definitely won't be bothering with any of the sequels.

Green Street is a 2005 independent drama film about football hooliganism.[1] It was directed by Lexi Alexander and stars Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam. In the United Kingdom, it is called Green Street. In the United States, Australia and South Africa, the film is called Green Street Hooligans. In other countries, it is called Football Hooligans or just Hooligans. In the film, an American college student falls in with a violent West Ham football firm (the Green Street Elite) formerly run by his brother-in-law and is morally transformed by their commitment to each other.
The story was developed by Lexi Alexander, based on her own experience in her brother's firm. Unwilling to shoot the film with German speaking actors, Lexi decided to adapt the heart of the story into the world of English hooliganism. While researching the subject on British internet forums, she came across a self-described hooligan who urged her to contact author Dougie Brimson. Brimson later admitted that he had been the hooligan who had initially made contact and had used a false identity to sound out Alexander and establish both her identity and her credibility.
Brimson wrote the initial script but Alexander later recruited another writer, Josh Shelov, to assist with structure and plot, while Brimson offered technical advice. However, little of his rewrite made the final cut on account of Shelov's lack of understanding of both soccer and the hooligan culture.
Throughout the film, the Green Street Elite, loosely based on West Ham's Inter City Firm, fight other "firms" such as Chelsea F.C's Headhunters, Tottenham Hotspur's Yid Army, Birmingham City's Zulus, Manchester United's Red Army and Millwall's Bushwackers. Two sequels followed in the form of direct-to-video releases. The first called Green Street 2: Stand Your Ground was released on various dates throughout the world from March 2009 to July 2010 while and the second called Green Street 3: Never Back Down was released in the UK on 21 October 2013

Football Factory is much better as well to be fair.

Rise of the foot soldier is the best I think, true story as well based on Carlton Leach.
