U Turn.
Typical Oliver Stone acid flashbacks style & assorted cinematographic horseshit; he used the same tricks he used (to better effect) in Natural Born Killers. A good cast wasted in this self-derivative foray into... ?
Estragon: I can't go on like this.
Vladimir: That's what you think.

I liked Natural Born Killers. It's over-the-top in many respects (it's Tarantino's story, go figure  ::)) but in a good way. At least it was quite original in 1994.
U Turn is forgetable. Which is exactly what I did after watching it. I only remember Jennifer Lopez in a tight red dress.

... and Clare Danes skipping to catch up with Sean Penn.
I liked Natural Born Killers and found it's stylized story-telling very interesting. But since then I've come to the conclusion that Stone is a one-trick pony... Well, a two-trick pony factoring in JFK--which I also liked.

PS just returned from seeing Mr. Holmes. It was superb.

I saw Ex Machina the other day. Interesting movie. Very good performances. My advice would be: keep watching, all the "mistakes" you think you spot will fall into place later.

Fantastic Four (2015)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1502712/
Ratings: 3.9/10 from 28,851 users   Metascore: 27/100

Yeah, public opinion about this film is pretty much spot on.  Glad I didn't pay to see it.  Way I hear it, Fox is just making a film every 7 years to keep the licensing rights from reverting back to Marvel...bastiches.

Bad movie with surprisingly good cinematography and costumes.

We've been to the Caribbean Cinema here in St Lucia a couple of times this week.

The first time (Wednesday - the boy's birthday) we went a saw Ant Man.  I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this film as it made me belly laugh more than once - and that's when you're trying to hold it in as your in a public place.  The action was great too and there were little details that surprised me (the vinyl DJ keeping recorded in sync using the centre pin of a turntable - now that's detail). I'm giving this an 8.5/10

The other movie was Minions that sent the missus to sleep and had me longing for the games arcade on the foyer for much of it.  That said, the kids liked it so their vote for it would be around 6.5/10, mine would be nearer 3/10. Be warned, grown ups!
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

2 hours of senseless violence. 9/10

My gal liked the old ones better. They probably are better, but if you like action this one's OK. Just don't look for a deep storyline.

Shaun the Sheep.  Hardly to the level of Wallace and Grommit, but entertaining enough when viewed with small children.

I'm watching Citizenfour, a two hour documentary on Ed Snowden.  It's basically altered my opinion of him.  I see t has mentioned it above.
