'Good' is obviously very subjective. It's a bit like wine.
Watched Rush last night, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It did go a bit cinematic-holywood at times but overall I thought it was good.

Finally saw Watchmen the other night.Having read the book as a lad I didn't think a film could do it justice. Happy to be proved wrong.Surely the best adaptation of a comic book ever, or have I missed something better?
Any opinions on Dallas Buyers Club?
We also watched Dallas Buyers Club which was really, really good. The subject matter was quite hard going in places and the actors are shockingly thin, they really look awful, but it's well worth a watch. I can see why it's up for / won so many awards.

Watched the first episode of that True Detective series with him and Woody Harrelson last night and he was excellent in that too.
Oscar for Mconaughey!!
Watched recently...Monsters University - Amusing enough to not be a pain in the arse to sit through when used to entertain several kids but not anywhere near as good as Monsters Inc or indeed.....The Lego Movie - Saw this in 3D at the pictures on Saturday with the sprog. It's the best kids film I've ever seen, in fact it's probably unfair just to label it a kids film as (like the Toy Story films but more so) it works on lots of different levels. Superb. Glad Mrs S didn't come with us as I've a good excuse to watch it again when it comes out on DVD.
