Godzilla, better than I thought, actually tried to have a storyline behind the monsters fighting.
Great one for the kids and it looks like there are more in the pipeline.

Why do you keep putting numbers at the end of your posts?

Craving attention.

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.

Did have a grudging admiration for his admission that he'd been a little "unpleasant" since 1975 and some of the end title stuff, but no, the film doesn't endear him to you, does it?

Last night I watched “the dirt” - it’s the story’s about motley crue. It was written by the actual band members and it’s amazing they lasted as long they did given the amount of drink and drugs they got through

After hearing a glowing review on Radio 5 last Friday I watched Thunder Road earlier.
The opening sequence poetic and mesmerising, what a cracking film I can't recommend it highly enough.

Watched Tin Cup for the first time in about 20 years, still an entertaining movie. More suprised that Costner actually has a pretty decent swing in it.

I think he was already a keen golfer but had a real overload of lessons in the lead up to filming.

War Dogs is well worth a watch on Netflix.

X-Men, Dark Phoenix, good film, decent plot, good action, even showed a couple of new ways to kill baddies
Overall probably a 6-7 out of 10 for me.

Quality film inspiration for my forum id

Watched "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" with my daughter last night. Utterly brilliant and some real laugh out loud moments. Can heartily recommend it 👍👍👍

Not for everone. We watched it last night. 2/10 and 2/10.

Tough crowd, me and the family thought it was superb.

Searching on Sky Cinema. Not bad, with clever editing showing the influence of social media.

Sky premier, Upgrade. Really enjoyed this. Nothing that new, but a good watch.

Crazy Rich Asians. A real disappointment. I was expecting something over the top, laughs etc but it was pretty serious and fairly obvious. A couple of good characters but considering the hype when it came out it was a let down. Perhaps my expectations were wrong.

Stars Wars The Last Jedi. Not bad, nothing more though.

Day of the Jackal...

A tiny bit dated but still a great story well told...

We watched it a few months ago, very formulaic but ever so slightly better than I was expecting

Nutz, this has got good write ups and was edging towards my watch list

I was talking about it with my daughter. I was expecting it to be a comedy but she suggested it was really a Romcom with the emphasis on Rom more than com. If you go into it with a different perspective you may enjoy it more.
