Hi guys,
You may recall the great 'Saturday night film club' formed by our very own Liquid a few weeks back.
Are you a film buff? Do you like discussion performances, themes and symbolism in your movies? Or you do just enjoy exploding robots? Sound off below and get involved!
This week we have a wide choice, and I have highlighted a few below, but feel free to post your suggestions, the more variety the better and it doesn't not matter on the day, we film buffs will watch a great movie any time. Also, are these films worth watching? Post your reviews 
1). Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Directed by Martin Mcquand
Sat 10th Nov. 14:45-17:20 on ITV1
The classic trilogy concludes. It caters to all of your Sci-fi needs; Tiny bears, uncomfortable family interaction and space battles. What more do you need?
- David Lynch turned down the chance to direct this movie
- The biggest grossing film of 1983
- Kenny Baker, who played R2 D2 also played an Ewok named Paploo.
2). The Polar Express
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
Sat 10th Nov. 17:55-19:50 on ITV2
The acclaimed director of Back to the Future bring us his first effort using performance capture and a great multi-performance from the great Tom Hanks. If you can get past the strange eyes on each character, this is an enchanting little movie that may get you in a slightly festive mood
- The main character's (the boy) name is never mentioned
- All the train tickets in the film have the number 1225 on them; Christmas day
3). Valkyrie
Directed by Bryan Singer
Sun 11th Nov. 21:00-23:25 on Five
The untold story of an assassination plot on Adolf Hitler by the men in his command. A wonderful cast from both sides of the pond. Even though the outcome is predictable, it is a very riveting watch.
- Many scenes were re-shot because a large part of the film reel was destroyed by spilled chemicals.
- 3 of the cast members also starred in the German film d\Downfall, chronicalling the last days of Adolf Hilter's life

OK, so going back to Xmen,
The sequel will be based on 'Days of future past', where the team gets taken into the future and meet the xmen team there who are are much older and live in a society ruled by sentinels.
There are rumors the original cast of the 1st 3 will interact with the new team
I like Green Lantern in comic form and the film had its moments, but the race track bit was the final straw for me!
What do you guys think of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool? Its apparently still happening.

Not a fan of Ryan Reynolds if I'm honest. Every character he plays he seems to take the mic out of it haha.
I'd of loved to have seen scott Adkins as deadpool incredible martial artist and has the really dry style of acting I thought would be necessary.

Love watchmen it was a much darker movie than any previously released.
Everything seemed so sinister

I was put off to be honest... looked really tacky and i heard from everyone it could have been done better.... and hugh jackman makes a lush Wolverine, all that effort he has put into his body...
