The BFG is marvellous - absolutely loved it. They've got exactly the right feel for the film, in particular the sets such as Giant Country, Dream Country and the BFG's cave. The CGI for the main character is also great - the best CGI character since Gollum IMO.
There are a couple of slight changes from the book but that never bothers me if it's done well and makes sense for the film, and I think that's certainly the case here. Went with my GF and the kids and we all really enjoyed it.

Trainspotting 2 not really based on Porno novel. Interesting:

Cloud Atlas. Baffling and entertaining in equal measure, bit like the book. Loved it.

Been debating whether to get the book or not.

Today's Special
Fantastic Indie movie about an Indian Restaurant in New York. Absolutely charming.

Didn't they have to reshoot loads of it it was so bad. Probably what they should have done with the ghastly JJ Abrams remake, or simply destroyed it and pretended they never attempted a remake.

Went to see War Dogs last night.
The story is bonkers, some strange characters thrown in there, it's a good watch but lacks a bit on drama at times considering there must have been some really tense times in what they were doing, then again it's told through the eyes of one of the perpetrators so perhaps the sort of 'laddy' narrative is intentional, some bit sort of come off making light of big issues and borderline bragging.
Might get the book it's based on to get more of the detail.
