Films

Finished two films this weekend - could be a record! Escape Room and The Keeper. Thought I knew the Bert Trautman story but not some of the tragic events in his private life.

Escape room any good?
I watched one recently,but not the one that’s just come on sky cinema.
 
Get Out

Recorded it a few months ago, watched it last night. Thought it was great. Jordan Peele is shaping up to be a really good director, Us is excellent as well.
 
6 Days, really good recounting of the Iranian embassy siege. Jamie Bell & Mark Strong the 2 main lead characters performed brilliantly and very gritty. Also surprising to find out during the post credits one of the gunman survived and was paroled in 2008, I always thought they'd all been killed in the attack.

odd I watched The keeper last week and enjoyed it. Full stadiums as well ? had a read on Wikipedia afterwards. Its sad that Germany would not let him play for the national team as he was not playing in Germany. He may well have had a World Cup winners medal. Saw him a fair few years back when he came out at half time at one of the games. Me old man was at Wembley when he broke his neck. Another part of our clubs “ no history”. ??

My Dad told me the story when I was a kid. He admitted to shouting at the TV "get up you Kraut" etc (he had fought in the war)...said he felt terrible when the news he'd broken his neck came out.
