What are you watching tonight?

Just got back from of Bridge of Spies.

What a really excellent film! Spielberg back to his very best and Tom Hanks as good as I have ever seen him. I can just about remember the events of 1960 portrayed in the film, and the tension of the times, and that might be a part of my enthusiasm for it, I suppose, but well worth viewing!

The most amazing film I've seen in absolutely ages. 'Wild Tales' from Argentina. 6 short very dark, very clever and very funny stories. Brilliant.

Little lad has got me into watching "Impractical Jokers" (although he watches the pre-watershed version), really childish but properly laugh out loud funny.

Walking Dead aside, that show is the best show on television. FACT.

Its definitely one of the funniest TV series I've watched, thoroughly recommend it.

The American version is ace. The British version is awful.

I've never played a game of chess in my life. If anybody had told me I'd watch a film about chess I'd have laughed. I just watched Pawn Sacrifice - apparently based on true events about the rivalry between Boris Spasky and Bobby Fischer - and it was absolutely fascinating. I won't say anymore about it except I really enjoyed the suspense and background story immensely. Recommend.

I watched that too. Not bad at all except Tobey Maguire was totally miscast as Fischer.

Have I dreamed this up? Wasn't there once a Chess player who complained that his opponent was being given cryptic messages via pots of yogurt?

Don't know, but after seeing Bobby Fischer's story I could believe anything.

I think I probably need to watch that film, Tango. It's just.......... you know, putting an evening aside to watch a film about a couple of blokes playing chess

But then I read this!

I suspect that he was making excuses, as he was Muller-ed in every game. Sorry, that's the best/worst that I can do.

My initial view too, but I think you should have a watch anyway. I enjoyed it.

We watched Spooks last night, an enjoyable spin off from the TV series. Three of the finest actors were in it. Tim, Mac and Ernie I think they were called.

[Gary the Enfield]

Watched Gran Torino last night. Very enjoyable. If a little obvious.

always look forward to Kermodes top 10 films of the year to see what new titles i need to add to the list. pretty obscure bunch this year tho. a black and white iranian vampire flick, a couple of japanese anime's and a pixar blockbuster! couple do look good tho, esp looking forward to seeing The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson. No mention of Wild Tales either!

1. Inside Out - Pixar’s perfectly realised psychological animation is a joy.
2. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night - Ana Lily Amirpour’s Iranian vampire western.
3. Girlhood -  Vibrant tale of girls in the Parisian hood from Céline Sciamma.
4. Carol - Todd Haynes’s note-perfect Patricia Highsmith adaptation.
5. The Falling - Swooning tale of mass fainting, written and directed by Carol Morley.
6. Song of the Sea - Tomm Moore’s timeless blend of musical and visual magic.
7. Brooklyn John - Crowley directs the flawless Saoirse Ronan.
8. Sunset Song - Ravishing Lewis Grassic Gibbon adaptation from Terence Davies.
9. The Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson - Julien Temple tackles a matter of life and death.
10.The Tale of the Princess Kaguya - Sublime Studio Ghibli fable from Isao Takahata.
