We finally got to see Dunkirk Friday night.. Thought it was terrific and fraught with tension, arcing towards desperation, from the opening scene.

Yeah, that is the general consensus on it. Maybe having read alot about the actual event killed any suspense for me.

Could not agree more Steve! To me with seeing it in the theatre, with the dolby sound etc. it made the tension palpable!

Default Christmas Day.....
Went to see " Downsizing" I thought it was very good, visually a masterpiece solid work from Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz I thought was very funny in his role, and an Oscar nomination for Hong Chau's performance has got to be forthcoming she was brilliant. Director Alexander Payne has established an amazing body of work, films like Nebraska, The Descendants, Sideways, Election among others. I cannot think of a film he's directed that has disappointed and Downsizing is no exception.

I agree with you, I think Downsizing is very good but not better than 3 Billboards, and I also would place Lady Bird above it and perhaps more pictures I am still needing to see more contenders. Might see Shape of Water today, not sure quite yet, and I also look forward to seeing Molly's Game, I am a big fan of Aaron Sorkin's writing and this is his directorial debut.

Red Sparrow. This should have been called Red Snapper because it was like watching bad soft core porn. The only thing good about it is pictured below. Lots of sexual innuendo and boobs. Lots of boobs and arse. Otherwise just a really, really bad movie.
