Yeah I'm going to check those out  Just watched "Gone Girl", better than I was expecting. This generation's American Beauty? Makes me feel all warm inside that I'm single.

Dare I do "Gone Girl" and "Closer" in one night? Yes I dare, I need to feel extra vindicated for some reason.

Justice League: War - Animated film that makes Man of Steel look thoughtful. It's almost a full film of people getting put through masonry*... Has the same tonal problems n'all; you can't have both the silliness of a kids cartoon and characters who swear and say whore  * Steady, Bratty  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I thought I'd totally hate it, but in the end I found it to be a semi-enjoyable mess. It's basically a bunch of character actors showing off. If it had explained what was going on with Keaton's character initially it might not have seemed so wanky in places. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

The Voices - rather dark but that's kind of what I was expecting for a film about someone with psycological problems who goes a bit stabby, mainly on instructions from his evil cat. Combination of bi-polar disorder and psycosis. I would be interested in hearing a professionals opinion of the portrayal of the condition(s) in the film. Thought on the whole it was a good film.
Insurgent - sequel to Divergent and carries on the story fine alothough not up to the caliber of the first film. Also pretty much entirely predicatable.
I will be thoroughly narked if they split the final part into 2 films as seems to be the way of things these days.

Gone Girl - better than expect. Won't say too much. Good evening film, pretty gripping throughout.

Divergent - Not bad, though I took a break halfway through because I can't stand two leads dancing round each other and the film's a bit stretched. Worth watching though a lot goes unexplained - I assume this'll be tied up later in the franchise _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
