About to watch 'The Hills Have Eyes'. Not seen it before. Hope it's not too gory. :)
Just watched Jojo Rabbit
What a great final film of the year.
Really enjoyed it
Two very different ones last night.
Beverly Hills Cop. One of Eddie Murphy's finest.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Kids wanted to stay up until midnight so we ended up watching this, which I enjoyed more than I thought I would. I have probably seen it close to a dozen times, but not in many years. I once attended a fancy dress party costumed as Mr Wonka, but that was another life time ago.
Dredd just came up again on Netflix, good old shoot em up bloodfest....
This is an awesome action film, such a shame a sequel was never made. If you can handle subtitles, worth watching as a double-bill with The Raid. The Raid and Raid II are amazing action films based in Indonesia, featuring a local martial art called Pencak Silat. The director is a Welshman who was living out there. The fight choreography is some of the best you'll ever see and in The Raid II there is a top-class car-chase/fight scene which lives long in the memory.

The Gentlemen. Realy enjoyed it.

Pixar’s Soul.
Although rated for nearly every age, not suited for young kids. (Death, After-life etc). For adults a movie with a message.
Half way through "Paint your wagon".
It's a long film, haven't seen it for years but really enjoying it again.
“Death to 2020” on Netflix, a very funny satirical film about all that happened in 2020, Samual L Jackson commentates. Very funny observations, COVID, Trump, Johnson etc.
I watched the equaliser last night. Thought it was a good one. Going to watch the 2nd one later!

Mr Sherlock Holmes (2015). Watched this on terrestrial TV - rather poignant, dealing with loss of memory. Ian McKellen is excellent.
Partly a favourite, due to Apis Mellifera (honey bees) being centre to the plot...
Watched ‘Games Night’ last night. Great comedy thriller whodunnit twisty film.
Escape to Athena
Free on YouTube and worth every penny.
Roger Moore, David Niven, Telly Savalas, but the star of the show had to be Stephanie Powers.
A sort of 'Allo "Allo with live firing.
Gremlins
Yes I know 1984 is a long time ago, but I always thought it wouldn’t be for me so avoided it.
Anyway, watched it on New Year’s Eve and I have to say it was the most I’d laughed in the whole of 2020. Think Alien with a Muppet cast and you won’t go far wrong.
Watched 'Without a Clue' yesterday. Forgotten how funny it was.
Jo-Jo Rabbit is excellent.
Couldn't really get on with 'Midnight Sky', thought it was very ponderous.
Going to give the new WW2 Greyhound film a watch tonight. Has really good reviews.
The Queen's Gambit. I wasn't sure about this one, but I'm very glad I decided to watch it. Very good.
Steve McQueen's 'Widows' is superb. Available on Prime now.
Rewatching the 'Alien' series - every one of them was good
I can't stop watching Guy Ritchie's "The Gentlemen". Hugh Grant is just hilarious!
Mystery Road (2013). The film not the series (which is also very good)
Excellent Australian film with what is probably one of the best final shootouts around.
Rewatched Mad Max just now - very entertaining still
Doctor Sleep was very good, just watched it.
‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ is on Film 4 at 11.05pm this evening - one of my favourite films, a real gem from Shane Meadows & Paddy Considine.
Outside The Wire on Netflix.
Near future US Military Sci Fi. Starts well but flags a bit. Makes a couple of half hearted attempts at morality and philosophy, but doesn't really say anything profound. Probably a bit long. Overall though, OK to good.
Not helped by having seen, just yesterday, the main supporting character as the new trainee Policeman in Death In Paradise.
Watched this last night.

Worth a look.

1917 on Amazon, pretty grim in places but worth a watch.

We just watched The Next 3 Days on Amazon prime. I personally enjoyed it, the wife not so much!

Snow White and the Huntsman
Going back a bit to 2012 but surprised how much I liked this; not usually a fan of fantasy stuff but the twist of it being dark thriller was pretty cool. Great cast too, although must be said I have a soft spot for Kristen Stewart - I'll say again she'll be more admired as she gets older, a fine actress tainted by the Twilight nonsense.
No idea if it's available anywhere, I taped it off terrestrial over Xmas (whatever the current word for taped is!).
50 Dead Men Walking and The Captain.
