Can’t wait to see Siege of Jadotville, a great Irish Military achievement finally getting an airing.
In recent weeks, I’ve seen Star Trek, Jason Bourne, Finding Dory & Suicide Squad. I’m all movied out and going back on the beer.
@Jimmy Murphy: Need a wingman?
Lads this isn’t Grindr
What the f*** is Grindr?
@Jimmy Murphy: exactly. ;)
Just looked it up. Funny how he knew about it & I didn’t.
Dont care what it us, I’m game for anything at this stage.
Right with ya Chief.
Saw Siege of Jadotville last night. Very impressed and the first film I’ve ever been to which got a round of applause from the audience at the end (admittedly it was in Athlone and full of army and ex-army).
The Siege for me.

It’s rubbish.
Might watch narcos again. Great show
Managed to see a preview of the girl with all the gifts this week after winning tickets. It’s a great film. It’s sort of an intelligent zombie movie…with a great twists and turns – I don’t watch trailers so i didn’t have a clue what it was about going in. Great cast and the lead girl is outstanding.
@Tom Toms: looking forward to it. Paddy Considine is in it yay!
Come on now everyone we all know we will have to take the other half to see Bridget
Tell her to feck off and go see the Seige
That’s what her friends are for.
You should all see, ‘The Girl With All The Gifts’.
@Boris Defender:
Pourquoi?
I’m with you boris, finished reading it the other day & it’s a quality story but I did find the end a bit of a anti climax.
Mr Robot
@Ken Pepper: on soon from the beginning, tg4. fun!
Deadpool!
That joke is so old it was released on Blu-ray months back… and so was Deadpool!!
Every single week!
Chk out Green Room..feckin awesome..very tense and gory but brilliant. Anton Yelchin’s last movie.
Green room is terrific..but definitely not his last there a still a few to be released that he had filmed
Kudo and the two strings was surprisingly good. A very original story. And the stop-motion is actually amazing.
Kubos…too you
narcos was brilliant and finished watching bloodline i wish a homeland season 7 comes out
The INCREDIBLE true story of a girl who enters a flower show?
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
For once I genuinely couldn’t choose because o want to watch them all!
want to watch magnificent 7
Girl with all the gifts was a fantastic book, will hope the movie lives up to it, doubt it, but definitely a great story.
have your say
