    I just watched the wild bill movie, thoroughly recommend. Good British cast, good plot with a not too corny an ending.

    Easy viewing thumbs up

    A Quiet Place pt II

    You get a bit more back story and it’s not as dialogue free as the first film. It leads directly on from the moment the first film ended.
    I quite enjoyed it.

    Just finished watching 'Saint Maud' on Prime. It's the only film that's managed to bore me then scare me to the point where I had to turn all the lights on. May have to re watch it soon.

    No, but saw a shit movie at the cinema today: New Order, a dystopian view of a collapsing Mexican society that becomes an ugly mess at the hands of writer/producer/director, Michel Franco.


    You've been warned!

    I watched this series years ago.
    Just watched it again.
    Ranks up there with the best (in my opinion).

    I’m in the utter boredom phase of this. Am only watching further as have not had a film scare me in years. Although a bright sunny day probably isn’t the ambience for it.

    No doubt been mentioned before but I enjoyed 'Sicario' and 'Sicario: Day of the Soldado'. I thought Emily Blunt, Benecio Del Toro and Josh Brolin were excellent in them.

    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I watched Man of Wrath last night, old Jas was awesome along with the rest of the cast. For Guy Ritchie, it was a very pleasant surprise to see him break away from the lock stock and snatch mode.

    Very good

    Agreed, do love a bit of Kick Fk action, I also watched wild bill last night as recommended above. Was a good British film. No doubt Low budget, arguably better than Wrath of Man flick. Some classic comedy moments as well.

    Watched Wrath of Man last night. Statham/Richie movie which could have gone either way. Turns out it was very unlike a normal Guy Richie (his are hit or miss for me!) and was really good. Not his usual style at all, felt a little like a Tony Scott type movie. Won’t win any Oscars but very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

    I watched it a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was decent but not his best. It did feel like the trailers covered a lot of the good bits.

    Yesterday

    Watched 'Yesterday' last night.
    Not sure if it was good or bad really, usual rom-com stuff with a Danny Boyle/Richard Curtis input and a couple of 'pop star cameos' thrown in for interest.

    It was one to watch with the family/wife, decent enough way to spend a couple of hours but probably not one I would personally watch again.

    Yep... BTDT.

    tbh I thought S3 wasn't up to S1/2 but it was still very good and some of the best TV I've seen this year.

    Agreed both are very good, Cool Hand Luke is one of my favourites. I do like Paul Newman.

    I think this is the first mention of Argo in this thread (from 2012!) and it has since been noted by many others, so I am very late to watch this. But I agree with this original assessment.

    I also liked the cinematography (Rodrigo Prieto shooting on film, using zoom lenses and deep colours to emulate the 70s/80s look well) and the direction by Affleck, surely emulating his acknowledged influence Sidney Lumet, whose 70s masterpiece Network is referenced in the script.

    Sense and Sensibility - interesting background as Emma Thompson wrote the screenplay over five years (adapted from the Jane Austen novel) with a hand from Stephen Fry (he rescued the nearly lost draft on her computer).

    Directed by Ang Lee (Crouching tiger, hidden dragon) this being his first English language movie and maybe not the obvious choice for a 17/18th century period piece.

    Quite enjoyable with solid performances, Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman and Emma herself.

    Went to the cinema last night for first time in 18 months. Small independent place and about 12 people only in there well spaced out. Saw The Father and the acting is sensational, albeit the topic rather thought provoking especially as my old man passed away earlier this year at 92 having suffered from dementia for the last few years.

    Watched "Nobody" this eve starring Bob Odenkirk. Done by the same people that do John Wick. What a cracking film of it's type - really enjoyed it. Great choice of music for the soundtrack. Even better it is not stupidly long either.



    Kermode love it too

    Film from my childhood last night, 'Restless Natives' from 1985, or as i used to call in 'The clown and the wolfman'
    It popped into my head yesterday for some reason, quick search on the sky box and there it was. I was amazed at the picture quality, was expecting something very grainy for 1985, but it looked great
    Good soundtrack by Big Country too

    F9 (Fast & Furious 9) is #1 in the U.S. right now. Vin Diesel & Co. are up to even bigger tricks in this edition. Full Disclaimer: although a big movie lover, I am also a 73 year-old cynic; hence my review! You should note that as of today, Rotten Tomatoes reports that 83% of more than 5,000 audience reviewers liked F9.

    First of all, I love action movies. John Wick, James Bond, Mission Impossible, Atomic Blonde - - love them all!

    But F9 goes WAY too far! First, the plot is preposterous, as if the real world and logic have been neutralized. Case in point: two F9 team members are 'launched' into earth orbit in a Pontiac Fiero strapped to a rocket to disable a dastardly satellite. When their 'magnetic' weapon doesn't work, they decide to crash into and destroy the satellite. Later, in the after-party, there are the two guys drinking Coronas without a scratch between them (I'd like to see what their earth re-entry looked like).

    Second, the acting is terrible (as is the trite dialog). What do you expect from Vin Diesel and former pro wrestler John Cena. The dialog feels like it was written by a 15 year-old.

    Third, there's a bit of a problem with height differentials. Credible sources list Diesel as 5'11.5", and Cena as 6'0.5," which is how they appear in the film (and the trailer below). But, the 20-something flashbacks of them (both as adults), show the young Diesel played by a 6'2" actor, and the young Cena played by a 5'8" actor. So...old Cena is an inch taller than old Diesel, but young man Diesel is 6" TALLER than young man Cena. Holy smokes!

    Seriously, I was shaking my head throughout the movie and ALMOST decided to walk out...three times! I'll be interested in reading other reviews.

    I think I gave up on F&F films around #5.

    Not really sure how they managed to keep the franchise going this long and why (quite a lot of) people seem to be hooked on it.

    Yes it's an action flick and I love action films but so far removed from any sense of reality, that it might as well be science fiction.

    One of my favorite war films.
    Battle for Sevastopol
    Russian woman sniper who amassed 309 kills and became a national hero.
    Beautifully filmed with excellent cast.
    Highly recommended.

    No doubt already mentioned, but this film reminded me of Enemy at the Gates

    I like the F&F franchise. Yes it’s brainless stuff,and yes the acting is always terrible,but I find them generally diverting. I have to say the earlier ones where they were basically very naughty street racers were much more enjoyable. It’s certainly been a huge jump from street racing to global super spies.

    F&F9 is probably the worst of them all though. They’ve magically resurrected Han with some fairly weak ‘explanation’,they’ve gone through all the old cast lists and given them random appearances. How the hell did that Good Ol’ Boy from Tokyo Drift suddenly become a rocket car geek? The whole Pontiac into space bit was total and under rubbish....even for F&F that was pushing the boundaries of utter nonsense. And when did Brian’s missus suddenly become some sort of kick ass capable of taking on trained mercenaries in hand to hand fighting?

    Would I recommend anyone going to the cinema to see it? Only if you have a young son whom desperately wants to watch it,otherwise wait for it to appear on Sky.

    We have been watching a series of British movies on Netflix starring Bill Nighy as MI5 agent Johnny Worricker. Easy to watch and engaging. Turks & Caicos, Page Eight, Salting the Battlefield. Derfinitely recommended.

    I watched 'Last Picture Show again', Peter Bogdanovich 1971.

    A favourite, but hadn't seen it for a long time. Stands up well after 50 years.

    First or very early appearances for Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Randy Quaid, Sam Bottoms, Tim Bottoms.

    Revisited ‘Heat’ the other day, I couldn’t believe how young Pacino and DeNiro and Kilmer looked, then realised it was out 25 years ago. Mental. Great film though.

    Was nearly as good. Didn't have any of the really wrenching scenes such as the bathtub scene or the tread on nail scene from the 1st film but it did outline the story a lot more about the origin of the monsters and was a cracking follow up

    The Tomorrow War (on Amazon): surprisingly watchable
    Together on BBC iPlayer (ok not really a film): Excellent, very pertinent and superbly acted
    Fatherhood: the usual feel-good easy watch.
