Yip, I also watched another film with the same title last month , similar stories both involving Hoffa the Teamsters union boss.

Overall, I was a little disappointed. Although, the performances were top notch, especially Pesci. As you’ll be aware, it’s very, very long. It’s also very dialogue heavy. Maybe it’s just me. Not sure if I was envisioning a Goodfellas style approach.
The CGI or whatever it is that’s used to make them looker younger was a bit distracting. Couldn’t lay my finger on what it reminded me of, until my little one was watching the Polar Express this afternoon. It just looks weird.

Flicking through Sky last night, ended up watching The Warriors, not aged that well but still loved it and is still a classic.

Just a little excited
we watched it at the weekend... OK, but a bit long winded TBH, and by the look of the actors, should have been filmed 30 years ago.

There hasn't been a decent Bond film since the Casino Royale remake, imo of course ?
I enjoyed Skyfall but they have been iffy since then. A good starter would be a villain that wasn't completely hammy with dreadful lines to repeat.

Also my opinion to, think that was a good gritty film the ones since have been terrible villains and not great stories.
New trailer does look good though so hoping for something that will make Bond good again.
Also saw Black Widow trailer yesterday, have to admit as much as Scarlett Johanson looks good in leather I thought the trailer made the film look a little unenticing. I’ll watch it but I’m not convinced it’s gonna be any good from that little preview.

Saw Le Mans 66 last night. Outstanding film, not a story I was familiar with Christian Bale is superb in it, but I may just never buy a Ford again.

Watched the Polar Exoress today, the kids watch it every year but today was first time i managed to sit and watch it with them. My verdict absolute crap film, don't get the fascination with it at all, its all over the place and drags on..

Motherless Brooklyn. Slower paced private eye/city corruption story set around the 50's I'd guess. Good story with a few twists and a decent cast, Edward Norton doing a very good job with the lead. I enjoyed it, Mrs BiM was less convinced.

jumanji; The Next Level. A level too far for me. Danny DeVito continues to make a living out of being an irritating pain in the ass. The highlight was looking at Karen Gillan.
Sadly the final scene appears to set up the next one. No, just no.

I had a big pile of ironing to do, nothing on the tv so I went onto Netflix. 'Trending' was CHIPS, film about the 80's tv show. Perfect ironing tosh I thought so on it went. Not sure what to say. Perfectly decent 80's style B movie tosh. What surprised me was it's 80's style attitude towards women, lingering women in tight jeans butt shots, cleavage shots (including one of a comedy actress who I read afterwards did not breast feed her baby 24 hours before that scene so she was pumped up), boobage, clear boobage 
. It was like CHIPS meets American Pie. This was definitely done before the Me too movement!
It shows how attitudes have changed that I noticed this and felt slightly uncomfortable when in the past it would have been standard fare.

i totally agree on The Irishman. I read the reviews on IMDB and everyone was raving. I was a little underwhelmed and a bit bored at times - the CGI and ages of the characters was annoying and you struggled to follow how old they were supposed to be any any point. Overall a good movie - a solid 6.5 to 7.5 - but nowhere near the quality of his past masterpices
Frozen 2. Okay but no more. The songs were so theatre style, over the top really, compared to the best Disney films. Not a patch on Tangled or Moana but perfectly okay. They needed more Olaf and Sven, less Elsa and Anna .
I'm sure Disney will do a storm with merchandise but no Frozen 3 please.
(a combination of Vue low prices and Meerkat voucher meant that two of us went for £5. No real gamble at that price)
They did show a trailer for a new Dr Doolittle film coming out it February with Rober Downey Jr. That looked seriously good. The sort of film that used to go to Jonny Depp and he would ruin. Thankfully RDj has the role and it looked in safe hands.
