So, inspired by Dan's film watching over xmas, I wondered whether we could get a movie recommendations (bad or good) thread together. I'm quite into movies, so have watched loads this year, but I rarely go to the cinema and watch them on Kodi instead - which means a time delay before I can watch them. I'm also not interested in analysing them too deeply - I've got the feeling that if I did that I might become too critical and fail to enjoy them for what they are.
For anyone who doesnt know what Kodi is, I can start another thread about that, or maybe take it to a group PM (@Paul - is it OK to talk openly about Kodi and it's add-ons on here?).
Anyway, my reviews of 2016 films I've seen - I won't bother going earlier than that, but anyone else can obviously feel free to do so):
- Green room - 9/10. It's a hard hitting thriller with Patrick Stewart. the basic plot is about a punk band in America getting accidentally tied up with a group of neo-nazis. It's brutal in parts, but a fantastic film.
- Hell or High Water. 9/10. A modern take on the Western theme - bank robberies, with heroes and antiheroes.
- Grimsby. Gash/10. Didn't make it very far into this before giving up.
- The Magnificent Seven (2016). 7/10. A good reboot of the same story as the original.
- Suicide Squad. 7/10. Comic book things aren't a genre that I really like, but this was quite fun watching. the plot is a government agency bringing together a bunch of comic book villains from prison and making a team that can defeat a supervillan.
- Midnight Special. 8/10. This one is a strange one. On the face of it, it's a sci-fi story, but underneath that it's a story about relationships between parents and children. It won't be for everyone, but I really liked it.
- Inferno. 6/10. Tom Hanks doing a Dan Brown (author of 'The Davinci Code' fame) film. Sort of a mystery / thriller combination.

Come on guys, surely pinball is not 100% of your lives? Our general-forum should be absolutely full of other hobbies, this place must be full of people who have loads of hobbies like me.
The one I've been waiting for ever since the original three ended....
