Trainspotting 2 today. Great movie . Not as fresh as the first but a great film neverthless. Begbie is terrifying in it

Just saw this one. It is the genuine article and the real deal, and the film you mustn't miss this year (unless you've recently suffered a bad bereavement, like the main characters in this one).
Affleck is as good as everyone says. Blink and you'll miss him cameo from Matthew Broderick. The only thing wrong with it - if I have to say that there was something wrong with it - is that the nephew character was a little too good to be true. But with a film this good, I really don't care.

I didn't think the nephew was too good to be true, he struck me as quite realistic. He was generally a good kid, reminded me a lot of my younger brother when he was that age, but he had flaws too and was in no way saintly.
May Kasahara

Sing. It was brilliant!

I saw that Dev Patel was nominated for best supporting role, but after a quick Google, I am mystified as to why. It sounds like he's the lead. Why is he only deemed to be a supporting actor?

Blame Weinstein.
Dev Patel is the star of 'Lion'. So why is he nominated as a supporting actor? Gives a reasonable overview of the issue

One small step for me
Manchester by the Sea - thoughtful and moving grief-pic, great performances by Casey Affleck and Lucas Hedges, flawed only by the lousy, lazy choices of whoever was responsible for the music in it.
Jackie - brilliantly cast and executed portrayal of Jackie Kennedy's life following JFK's assassination, with Natalie Portman putting in an Oscar-worthy performance in the central role, and a nice cameo by the late John Hurt. The only brain missing in this production is the President's.
T2 Trainspotting - better than I thought it would be. Some of the plot devices stretch credulity, but the characters carry it - they're all the same as before, but now with 20 years of regrets and resentments inside them. Some great scenes, often really funny, but with more depth than the original, and a nice twist to finish it off.

The King of Comedy. Hadn't seen this before. De Niro is excellent, as is Jerry Lewis. Slightly disconcerting that the audience was belly laughing all the way through -- didn't feel like that kind of funny to me -- though the 'I made a mistake.' 'So did Hitler' exchange did make me laugh and think of this place. 
To Have And Have Not. Casablanca does Martinique. Not as good as Casablanca but I could watch Bogart and Bacall all day.
La La Land. Think this is probably a controversial view but... I enjoyed it and thought the leads were likeable and charming and all that but I didn't think it was a very good musical. Reckon it would've been better as a straight film.
The songs just aren't strong enough (I'd go so far as to say they're not very good at all) and it seemed to forget it was meant to be a musical for quite a while halfway through. And really obviously referencing Singin' In the Rain seems like a very brave move...
I'm pretty surprised by all the superlatIves this is getting. It's enjoyable and all that but I just don't think it's a very good musical.
