Sky Movies - "Unfriended Dark Web" - social media/computer thriller/horror - you won't see the twist that comes near the end. If you liked the Black Mirror episode where the kid got blackmailed by text message, you will love this one.

Saw John Wick 3 last night. For the first two thirds I thought it was amazing, some of the best action scenes I've ever seen. I thought it got a bit ridiculous towards the end (way too much breaking glass tbh), and the ending wasn't particularly satisfying as they very clearly set it up for a 4th film. But overall it was very enjoyable.

My favourite line for those who've seen it:
Halle Berry: "He shot my dog!" Wick: "I get it." :LOL:

Watched it & haven’t a clue what happened at the end 😳

Another John Wick viewer. Utterly daft, silly film. Incredibly gratuitous. Some of the action sequences went on too long but the one liners were good fun. Ian Macshane looks to be having a ball.

One question, what the heck do you have to do to get an 18 rating now? The violence in this was extreme yet it was only a 15 rating.

End game.
Think I was expecting too much.
Enjoyed it but walked out of the Cinema feeling slightly disappointed.

Plus Cineworld is a complete rip off.

Agree with the rating, I guess it’s a sign of the times given the video games being played these days. Having practiced a martial art for some 27 years or so, and being a couple years older than Keanu, huge kudos to him for the effort he puts in to the fight scenes though. Halle Berry also did a lot of training for the fight scenes, part of what makes the film so good for me.

Give the first two, not sure why anyone would expect anything more than it was, a much better than average daft and silly Friday evening beer and popcorn action flick. 🍺🥋🤼‍♂️😄

Totally agree. You know what you are going to get with a John Wick film and it certainly delivered.

Also agree with you comments about Halle and Keanu. There were some really tiring scenes and they must have put in some real work in. Don't think I've seen anyone walk or run as pigeon toed as Keanu mind. He must wear out the soles of his shoes in a very odd way 😁

Moneyball on Netflix, 2011 I think but hadn't seen it - enjoyable absorbing sports drama about Oakland Athletics baseball team and how the management changed player recruitment methods drastically using a young economist and computer analysis to compete successfully with much bigger teams by recruiting out of favour cheap players but with specific skills. Great cast and performances.

Rocketman 🤔🤔. I'm still trying to work it out. Far more downbeat than Bohemian Rhapsody it is more of an Elton John therapy session. He certainly puts the boot into a few people, his parents in particular.

Taron Edgerton was excellent, as was all of the cast. I just don't warm to Elton John and this film didn't change that view.
