Another vote for "The Founder"
If you ever get the chance to watch "Marvellous", it's a fantastic film. Real life account of Neil Baldwin. Was on BBC2 about a year or so ago but not seen it since.
Don't normally like Adam Sandler films, but I thought "Hustle" on Netflix was excellent, and showed he can play a straight character when given the chance. Yet to see SpaceMan
Lastly "MoneyBall" on Netflix is an old film that's definitely worth a watch, especially seeing as it's also based on a true story.
Road House (2024 remake of the 80s Patrick Swayze film) on Prime. Serve with a pint or two of wine, highly entertaining. Jake Gyllenhaal is great as a ripped, washed up UFC fighter turned bouncer. In fact he brings so much charm and melancholy to the role that it’s not immediately obvious how silly it’s about to become. But a series of entertaining villains, including a seriously bulked up and surprisingly naked Conor McGregor, plus some great over the top fights soon make it clear that this is roughly as serious as The Gentlemen. Probably not for everyone but if that sounds like fun, go for it.

Watched Wind River again last night. Worth a watch.
"East of Boulder Flats, deep into the vast and unforgiving white territory of the Wind River Indian Reservation, the seasoned game tracker, Cory Lambert, discovers the frozen body of the young Native American, Natalie. As this is a federal crime, the F.B.I. dispatches the inexperienced but courageous agent Jane Banner to lead the investigation, however, the unprepared outsider will soon team up with Cory to unravel the mystery of Natalie's murder. Before long, Cory will inevitably have to face his own past, while at the same time, both he and Jane are thirsting to see justice done. In the end, will this be a fruitful alliance"?
Civil War, Alex Garland’s gut wrenchingly visceral take on an alternate present day, or near future American civil war. It deserves to be seen in a cinema, at full volume. It’s had some mixed reviews, with some criticism of the apparently apolitical take on the conflict, avoiding signposting what the war is about. But the clues are there, as the president is well into his third term when only two are allowed, so he doesn’t seem all that interested in democracy. Sounds familiar?
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD: If there’s a criticism, it’s that the heart of the movie, a study of a hardened war photographer passing the torch to a new generation, seems almost disconnected from the provocative American civil war premise. However it does work as a narrative device to give us a grand tour of the conflict, while musing on our progressive desensitisation to violence, and the potential consequences of divisions in contemporary America. But in the end, there may be more to this than meets the eye, rather than less as some critics have suggested. As the film builds to a climax, it’s impossible to avoid getting sucked into the action, experiencing the rush of a video game style assault, and perhaps some catharsis too. And all the while the photographer’s dispassionate camera shutter is clicking, asking you who you are identifying with, what you are feeling, how complicit are you in a brewing civil war, on either side?

Collateral
on film 4 catchup atm
It is the best role that I have seen the diminutive scientologist Cruise in.
B
Had a bit of down time recently and watched a couple of movies and really enjoyed them both
'Finestkind' with Tommy Lee jones & Ben Foster. Drama/thriller, no great surprises but an enjoyable watch
'About my father' with Robert De Niro, family comedy, you know where it's going but feet up for an hour or so with a couple of laughs, one of the main characters wears a Panerai (111 or similar) Mrs T. even commented 'is he wearing a Panerai?'
