Although I doubt those that might benefit from it would bother watching it.

Just watched Bridge of Spies again (I'd seen it on a plane somewhere, but my wife hadn't seen it, I tend not to rewatch films) and it was excellent (great performances by Hanks and Rylance,...

I watched it too, but I though the animated version on YT was better, to be honest.

The aircraft renderings were pretty good, but it seemed a bit...

We watched Kandahar and The Covenant over the last few days.

Pretty similar stories, although I think the latter was better.

I really enjoyed Fall one evening.

I hate heights and I genuinely felt vertiginous sitting on my sofa at times.

Not a huge amount of plot, but worked really well.

I've felt the John Wick films have been a downward spiral all along

I quite enjoyed the first, but the second and third were each less enjoyable and this one's trailers do look very samey.

I watched All Quiet On The Western Front last night.

Some great, harrowing scenes of WW1 battle, but in the end it didn't have the emotional impact I thought it would.

Some of that was...

Sexy Beast and, of course, Mona Lisa

I find Netflix and Prime to have horrible interfaces for finding stuff.

Netflix seems to continually offer the same films under different categories.

One of Hopkins best, I think.

Yes, an enjoyable (not particularly funny, though, if that's what you're after) film.

Also watched Infiesto - Spanish detective movie set during the early days of the COVID pandemic. Interesting...

We watched that some time ago and I agree it's a very good film.

Could have been a heavy handed agenda film, but it gets you right on the main characters side and has you right behind them without...

Having just read the book, I rewatched A Bridge Too Far recently.

Incredible cast and some brilliant set pieces from the book, but it's too big a story to do justice even in quite a long film.

Tora, Tora, Tora definitely wasn't released in 1941, it's about 1941...

Finally got around to watching Unbroken, the true story of Louis Zamperini.

Gruelling, but excellent and ultimately uplifting.

Got around to watching The Courier this evening (one of the two Americans in the first scene of the film was a neighbour of ours as a child).

I really enjoyed it, tense and exciting, but not in a...

I watched Virtuoso on Netflix.

An interesting, tense film with a small cast, including a very old Anthony Hopkins.

Worth checking out if you like a tense thriller, not if you dislike...

I finally got to watch Tenet last night.

I'm a fan of Nolan's films generally, but wasn't that impressed with Inception.

I found Tenet more enjoyable and, while still heavy on the effects, to...

Watch the documentary. too, if you get the chance.

We watched Thirteen Lives last night.

I was skeptical that it would add anything to the documentary on Nat Geo, but I'm glad to say it did.

Even if you're seen the documentary (and we all know...

It's called Le Mans 66 in the UK.

Just came on to say I enjoyed this far more than the Gray Man.

Watched "Don't Look Up" recently.

Quite funny in places, horribly believable in others, with some good performances.

Still not 100% sure whether I would call it 'Good' or just OK, but I didn't...

Quite enjoyed the action film 'Close' recently.

Did you see it live? I did and I rate it as the best gig I ever saw, although I'm not sure it really fits into the category of a simple gig.

I've got the DVD, but am yet to watch it.

I've read...
