Watched the Godfather trilogy again over the weekend - it's been a while since my last viewing. I still prefer the first film, I know many like Godfather 2 which I do enjoy. The 3rd film didn't seem as bad as I had remembered on this viewing but stil not a patch on the first 2. Great trilogy though 
Loved the first episode. Beautiful set design, good acting, intriguing story- a new angle on the alienverse.

I love the Alien franchise and will watch most of the films very eagerly.What are your thoughts, so far? No spoilers!
The first episode had many nods to the original films and you knew instantly that you were on a Weyland ship.
I was a little concerned about how familiar this episode started as it ran a familiar narrative and was very frenetic but episode 2 settled down pretty quickly.
The cast is great (I can't stop thinking of Zuckerberg with the gifted boy) and the money that's been spent is pretty obvious in the sets and effects.
I think it's been well received and really hope it maintains this high bar…time will tell.

Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim
Animation style and look was great, similar style to Bakshi.
Story, script and language style were mostly nothing like Tolkien would have delivered, and yes, I get it, it's born of a small guiding bit of text from an appendix, but they should have done better.
Pretty much the only reason I watched it to the end is the universe it's set in, if this were a standalone fantasy movie it wouldn't have stayed on longer than 30/40 minutes.
To say I'm disappointed is something of an understatement given I've had this on my watch list for months.
