Rather boring emotional "comedy" drama. A pregnant teenager and her grandma bounce around town from one eccentric character to the next trying to get money for an abortion. The disjointed scenes give the feeling of a weak amateur theatre show and despite feminism, vulgarities and some laughs it's still pants.

Warm, funny and much less serious than I thought it was going to be. The Martian is long but doesn't feel it, bleak without being miserable, and epic in scope and scale. Damon is magnificent as the stranded astronaut who refuses to give up. Supporting cast also great. Thumbs up!

Oh dear. What should have been amazing was instead laughably disappointing. Paul Rudd is inoffensive enough as the titular burglar-turned-miniature-superhero, and some of the action sequences are pretty cool. But the jokes are SO BAD, and the dialogue is SO BAD that overall it's a total waste of time.

Harrowing, gruesome and not at all enjoyable, The Revenant is still undeniably an excellent film. DiCaprio is sublime as the horrifically wounded hunter who must fight for survival in seriously bleak conditions. It's fairly unbelievable in parts, and too much of a slog to ever rewatch, but absolutely fantastic nonetheless.
