Errr. Now I’m confused. Simple brain, me. Thought I mentioned it’s other name. Anyway, apologies.

S'ok. I was taking the piss out of my own stupidity.

My brother called it that on Friday night in the pub and we got about 25mins of piss taking value out of it. Repped for reminding me.

The Shadow In My Eye (Skyggen i mit oje) Also known as ‘The Bombardment’ - 2021 1hr 47mins my rating: 8.5/10 (imdb 7.3/10)

 

Director: Ole Bornedal. Danish. English subtitles. Netflix.

 

Outstanding WW2 drama based on a true story. The acting, particularly from the younger kids (key characters in the plot) are superb. I’m always blown away by talented child actors, and there are some of the best in this film. One character, a complicated Nun, is played by Fanny Bornedal, who I suspect is related to the Director. Her performance is absolutely riveting. 
 

Some great cinematography, as well as good use of CGI (w/o being overbearing)  to reproduce a squadron of Mosquito Bombers on a special bombing raid. 
 

The tension builds well, and the ending left me gobsmacked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just watched this thanks to your review, so thanks mate.

 

Some ropey British accents aside (I watched the original Danish language version), an incredibly jarring and emotional film.

 

17/20

[lifetime fan]

Awakenings. 
 

Robert De Niro and Robin Williams star in the film based on the Oliver Sacks memoir of catatonic patients in a New York Hospital. 
 

Excellent film 8.5/10.

The Suicide Squad.  8/10

Funny as fuck in places and  cartoon violence.  

[Baltar]

The Batman. Thoroughly enjoyed this. A welcome change from the Marvel comic book movies filled with quips, humour and too much fantasy. A Batman movie for adults. 8/10

Totally agree.

Looking forward to when you review suicide squad 2. Absolute shite

The Way, Way Back - boss little coming of age film with a cracking cast. 8/10

Oh yes. Amazon Prime. 9/10 easily. 

 

Thanks for this princess. Absolutely awesome. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Cried. Mr rb14 loved it too. Praise indeed. Apparently from the same lineage as the extraordinarily brilliant Juno.

Just watched, very good (obligatory rating 8/10)

 

Curious though, what part did you cry at?  I'm trying to train myself to have feelings

Try Petite Maman or Lion.

[VladimirIlyich]

The Outfit 8/10.

 

Good little film set in the US but with mostly a British cast. Looked like it might have been based on a play.

[skend04]

Dr Strange 2 - really enjoyed it. It's actually got some pretty scary scenes and I'm surprised that it's only a 12A.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Morbius. Wow, complete shite. Was expecting something like Venom, a tier below the top but still good.

 

4/10

[Bjornebye]

Against the Sun (Netflix)

 

US plane has to ditch in the pacific. 3 of them trying to survive on a lifeboat with no food or water. It's based on a true story. From 2014 and I hadn't heard of it before so thought it might be shit but it was decent enough. 6/10.

I’m guessing they survived otherwise there’d be no story to tell?

If so that's a miracle worth exploring. Might even have potential for a whodunnit.

Better than I remembered actually. The screaming girl is very fucking annoying. I'd remembered that. Not a patch on the first one of course but easily a 7/10. 

 

I still can't look at Ellen Brody the same way since reading the original book. Schlaaaag

Hahahahaha he's got some gear thats for sure. Still a bastard. 

 

The scene where Chief Brody is up in his lookout tower and Larry and some other fella are speaking with investors. next think Chiefs ringing the bell, shouting everybody out and shooting at a load of fish.... Larrys face is superb. He fucking hates him. He wants Brody hung up by his buster browns.
