Yes, it's good I thought, there was one thing though and that's one of the fellas chasing the Army lad has a jacket on that I don't think they had in 71, he looks like he's from these days, you'll see what I mean. 

Yeah it's alright. 

Haha I'll look out for it.

71 is brilliant.

Would I have to have seen the first 70?

69 is never a bad place to start.

I watched that Tony film again today, weird movie that but good. 

[RedKnight]

Last Christmas - Emilia Clarke is a woman who... has lost her way and finds it when she meets a charismatic, kind stranger? I dunno, I suppose that's it and all the while soundtracked by George Michael. I expect Christmas films to be sentimental but this bends the premise to fit the line of one song and it doesn't really work. Clarke's character is an unlikeable flake for reasons that aren't spelled out enough to care and the supporting cast are just thinly-sketched characters including, and not restricted to, cheeky chappy homeless people who all have hearts of gold, a stern, straight talking boss with a heart of gold and a stern, eccentric Eastern European mother with a... you can guess. Having Emma Thompson play her mum with a generic Eastern Europe accent seemed a mistake as did shoehorning Brexit references in. It's not good, it's not bad, it's below average though. 4 out of 10

Is that the one where the boy goes on about custard creams & He Man all day before lashing a Russian robot's head into a crowd?

 

There is a sequel where he eats toast with a knife & fork.

Haha, it's rather disturbing.

Finally got around to watching Jojo Rabbit the other night.

 

Fuck me.

 

Everything about it is sublime. I've got no words to do it justice, so I'll just give it eleventy million out of ten and say if you've not watched it, watch it.

[Duff Man]

The Dark and the Wicked - decent little horror, with lots of tension and a few genuine scares. 8/10

[Dougie Do'ins]

Jojo Rabbit 10/10

 

One of the beat films I've seen in a long time.

 

Think I'll give Mandy a go next.

 

And then watch the film.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Mandy 5/10

 

I can see why others rave about it but it just wasn't for me.

 

Maybe a little LSD would have helped.

Just watching Fifa World Cup. 86, probably the last time I really enjoyed the competition, I know there was some good moments later in others, I don't know why maybe because it was on the other side of the world and commentary. 

Last time I had  World Cup chart too, on the kitchen door, a 27 year old kid.

I also enjoyed Italia 90. That made great television.  Was it 94 in USA? That for me was when it became a political competition rather than a football competition. America make great tv and film but their sports tv is glitz and glamour rather than the sport itself.

Your right 90 was sound, I nearly went, not to support anyone in particular, I thought Romania were good in the USA tournament, think it was that one.?

Mosul - 7/10

 

Not bad at all. Combat flick on netflix about the Nineveh SWAT team fighting ISIS in Mosul. The combat scenes are really very good - decent story too.

[John102]

Gremlins

 

8/10

 

An absolute classic from my childhood, I must have watched it a dozen times or more as a child. 

 

Stil absolutely fantastic. Was a bit of a bizarre experience though. Some of the scenes I had completely forgot about, though when I watched them they seemed so familiar and important to me as a child. Was a slightly odd, worrying feeling really. 

[Mendoza]

Let Him Go- solid enough modern western- 7.5/10

 

Possessor- not bad- 6/10

[easytoslip]

I watched Violent Playground yesterday, just watchable, trying to look out for shots of the city. 

The Mersey Tunnel, Overhead Railway and I'm sure it was the Legs of Man in the distance, I missed the first 40 minutes so I'll watch again, how things have changed.

Beverly Hills Cop - Ace. Hadn't seen it in years and i'd forgotten just how brilliant the young Eddie Murphy was. Plus seeing Ronny Cox not playing an absolute b@stard was an eye opener.    

 

Although, like most films from that era it always baffles me why "henchmen" are so woefully inept at shooting people that are right in front of them.

Anyone would think they have banana shaped guns and the bullets just go anywhere.

Doing a Pixar catch-up. Stopped watching them but Disney+ has just been sat there idle and I've started going through the ones I've missed. So far:

 

Inside Out - 8.5/10

Coco - 8.5/10

 

Both just great Pixar animations.

You could be on to something there.

Let Him Go

 

Diane Lane is fantastic and Costner just keeps on invoking the grizzled gravel voiced cowboy in this top class Western road movie.

 

After racing through The Mandalorian it's such a refreshing change to see proper acting, real subtlety and a fresh script rather than that kiddie Star Wars guff, no action toys being forced on us here, no childish likkle cuddly toys and grown men balls deep in a green screen cash in.

 

No franchise and no 40 years of regurgitated sequels here.

 

Really very good.

 

8/10

[Carvalho Diablo]

Chasing Mavericks

 

True story of snot nosed surf punk Jay Moriarty and his dream of riding the waves at Mavericks.

 

By the numbers, schmaltzy acting and a crappy script, the surf sequences looked decent I thought .

 

Beware though, Gerrard Butler is in this.

 

Much better than the childish Mandalorian

 

3/10
