Manchester by the Sea:
This well depicted drama from writer/director Kenneth Lonergan deals with the trials encountered by an Uncle (played by Casey Affleck) on having to raise his 16 year old nephew (Lucas Hedges) on the death of his father and returning to the community where he grew up.
Already lauded by the critics, this movie should be in everyone's minds come Oscar nomination time as this real life drama and its incredibly talented casts performances promise a movie that will resonate with its audience long after the movie ends.
At Home:
Captain America:
Civil War: One of the big blockbuster hits of 2016, Captain America's second outing is worth viewing alone, for its superhero compilation mash up half way through. The special effects drive this movies ratings up a notch and with Anthony Russo at the helm you are guaranteed a snappy script with an engaging cast and swashbuckling effects.
Not what more could you want from a movie than that?

Trainspotting:(Channel 4 Sunday 22nd Jan 10:05 pm)
With T2:Trainspotting just around the corner, there is surely no better time to refresh the memory as to why this harrowing yet sometimes comical tale of drug addiction in Edinburgh was such a hit, launching the career of Danny Boyle and his acting compatriots.
Irvine Welsh's writing, accompanied by the directorial style of Boyle and the solid performances of his cast (and lets not forget that kick ass soundtrack) ensure that Trainspotting has remained a classic, years after its initial release.
