Watched About Time yesterday on Prime and enjoyed it. Typical Richard Curtis film
Just watched The Mountain II.
Turkish war movie.
Excellent.
I watched Hyena Road last night - a movie about Canada's military campaign in Afghanistan's Kandahar province.
Well worth a watch IMHO

Watched Le Mans '66 (2019) Ford v Ferrari - enjoyable film with beautiful cars - well worth a watch, and an interesting story for those of you (like me) that don't know the full story of what happened.
I watched Le Man 66 at the weekend also. It was a really interesting film and brought to life the squabble between afford and Ferrari. There aren't many films these days that can see me still awake st 2309hrs so it must have been good!
I also bathed The Death of Stalin which was quite quirky but consistently amusing.

I didn't bathe it. I watched it.
I saw the recent Guy Ritchie film The Gentleman yesterday and thought that was good, well worth a watch. Wasnt 100% sure about Hugh Grants character but overall very good.
I watched Thunder Road on Netflix a couple of nights ago, purely for the fact the mrs is a massive Springsteen fan and the title caught her eye.
I still can’t really figure out how to describe it, but it is worth a watch for the long take of his mother’s eulogy right at the beginning. I think it’s about a 10 minute uninterrupted shot. The acting is phenomenal.
Your mileage may vary, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Blinded by the Light is quite an enjoyable watch, speaking of Bruce Springsteen.
Shades of Gregory's Girl.

I got around to watching "The Darkest Hour" the other night.
Gary Oldman deservedly won Best Actor Oscar for playing Churchill in what has to be one of the most remarkable pieces of acting i have ever seen. Quite incredible.
A very watchable film.
So clever my foot fell off.
Best films I’ve seen in the last 12 months.
1917.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Darkest Hour.
Joker.
Knives Out - great fun.
Doctor Sleep - Sequel to The Shinning , part horror, part super hero flick, very good.
Currently watching Rise of Empires. Ottoman.
I don't know anything about the others in this series, but I am enjoying this six-part mini series very much. Fascinating.
It's an old one but I watched "the bridges of Madison county" last night, forgot how good it was.
Another vote for Knives out. Not amazing but good enough and good fun. Hell of a cast as well.
Also watched the 80’s classic Iron Eagle which was obviously brilliant!

Black Klansman. Superb and devastating. The final 'epilogue' scenes knocked me sideways.
Dark waters. An eye opener.
I re-watched the Bill Withers documentary last night ‘Still Bill’ only available on YouTube as far as I can see
I finally got round to watching - There Will be Blood last night. Amazing character study. Definitely worth a watch if you have not seen it.
Spenser Confidential NetFlix
Speaking of Walhberg.
Not a movie but I really enjoyed “Entourage” a series loosely based on his rise up through Hollywood.
A bit “jock” but very watchable and a few laugh out loud moments. Also some very hot women. Jus sayin.
Someone mention Adam Sandler? The one dimensional actor. I watched one of his recent goes the other night and dare I say it he was ok in it. Film is "Uncut Gems".
Also watched "The death of Stalin" last night which I found pretty entertaining and would recommend.
Blast from the past, we watched Naked Gun this evening. A proper laugh out loud movie. Hilarious.
Whiplash
Finally watched it, and it's extremely good. Really rather stressful though.
Just watched a 2019 film called "Burn". Entire film set in one petrol station at night, enthralling, dark (not because it is at night), and well worth a watch.

Knives Out, Whiplash, Blackkklansman, the Departed all great.
Spenser Confidential? I'm actually a Mark Wahlberg fan and have to say I found this total garbage. Not even rating as light entertainment for me, just plain bad.
I did enjoy Long Shot with Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron - a really good comedy on Netflix.

This looks to be an enjoyable watch on Amazon prime.

It should have been titled:
James Cameron stars as James Cameron in James Cameron pontificating...featuring a tiny bit of the phenomenal engineering involved and very little nature.
It was basically all about him; every opportunity to show himself and he did, and his narration was stilted and the 'descriptive' language used could have been found in the diary of a teen who had recently found a thesaurus.
I really wish more focus was on the submarine itself, the team that worked on it and the actual seafloor.

Sexy Beast on Filmfour right now. One of the best films ever made followed by Quadrophenia.
Brian Banks - on Netflix, a film about the American justice system, a good watch and based on a true story.
Has anyone seen the 1979 Russian Sci-Fi film Stalker? It was made by Andrei Tarkovsky who also made the highly acclaimed Solaris.
Stalker is on many Top 10 Sci-Fi film lists and has dozens of 10/10 scores on IMDB and a rating of 8.5/10 on Rotten Tomatoes.
I found the film available on Youtube, in Russian with English sub-titles and watched the entire 2 hours 35 minutes.
Well, how it is a Sci-Fi film is beyond me. The original book it is based on 'A Roadside Picnic' is clearly Sci-Fi, about objects discarded by visiting aliens having magical or deadly properties for the earthlings who find them. But none of this is apparent from the film - just a mysterious zone, caused by a crashed meteor, outside a town in an unnamed country which has, according to local legend, a room at the centre, where your desires will become real.
The film is just three men - the stalker, who is a kind of guide across 'the zone', a writer and a scientist. Who all spend a lot of time talking and being all existentialist.
If there were metaphors or allegories about God or self-discovery or stuff like that, then it all went whooshing over my head.
I'd be glad to hear from someone whose mileage varied, as they say. I'm all for a bit of arty film-making, but this missed the mark by a country versta.
I've recently enjoyed Good Bye, Lenin! Quite possible already mentioned as it dates from 2002.
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
Fantastic film, especially if you knew Berlin in the 80s.
'Against stupidity, the gods themselves struggle in vain' - Schiller.
Rewatched Meet Joe Black last night...excellent!
