LOL at the dunderheads who said "The Emily Blunt character was totally pointless "Best described as a big mess.

The Sisters Brothers. Was a bit concerned about Jacques Audiard making a film in English, but this really is great stuff. Joaquin Phoenix, John C. Reilly, Jake Gyllenhaal, Riz Ahmed... a great cast, and all on great form. While it often feels familiar, Audiard brings a fresh eye to the western genre, and the whole thing comes together beautifully. It only opened yesterday but I don't think it'll hang around too long, so go and see it while you can. One of the year's best.

The hobbit is a horrendous cash inI’m not too fussed how accurate it is if it’s a crap film. The Hobbit is brilliant and that isn’t anything like the book.
If its a book someone loves they will want to see loyalty shown to the source material and a genuine representation of characters painstakingly created. If you are working from someones material you probably owe them at the very least the respect of not misrepresenting their workWhy do people get so concerned about following what was in the books, film is a different medium and concessions often have to be made.
I actually quite liked the Hobbit films, mainly because I rate the LOTR's trilogy by Jackson and the Hobbit films weren't that far off the mark.

I remember seeing a stage adaption of it years ago, i think it ran 3 hours which seemed about right as a fan of the bookIf they made a film directly accurate to The Hobbit book it’d be an hour long.

I'm fairness, he is actually excellent in it, it's just a shame the film doesn't match his performanceI really enjoyed Sicario 2 at the cinema. Might be more because of the score (and Benicio Del Toro being Benicio Del Toro) than the actual film, tho.
