Give Truth or Dare a watch.
It doesn’t get a great rating on IMDB,but I thought it was pretty good.
Sky cinema

A decent watch and one I'd skipped as the synopsis sounded a bit too scary for my liking (like that one about the video tape...whatever it was called, freaked me out). I sometimes think directors go too far with a theme and the gurning faces were such an instance! Probably made for a US audience so the baddies had to be blindingly obvious!

like you I rate a film if I manage to watch it to the end,this one I did.

Takes longer to choose a film to watch than it does to watch it ?
 
The Personal History of David Copperfield. Madcap, amusing and entertaining, I wouldn't rave about it but equally I don't feel I wasted my time seeing it. If it sounds like I'm not sure about it, that's because I am.
 
Another decent watch last night - must be on a roll. Mind you it started with ditching one after 20 minutes (Out of Blue) but then Can You Ever Forgive Me was a really good watch. Synopsis not that inviting but I'm beginning to realise that's often a good thing.
 
Watched two films yesterday:

1917, good film, enjoyed it, but if I'm honest, not really sure why it's getting so many plaudits and nominations.

The Dirt. Not remotely a Motley Crue fan, couldn't name a single song of theirs if I tried, but I watched it on recommendation from a couple of mates, and really enjoyed it. Wasn't a metal head when growing up, although I did like a few heavy rock bands, surprised myself by liking the music in the film. Wasn't until almost at the end that I realised the drummer is Tommy Lee of that Pamela Anderson tape fame. Similar vein to Bohemian Rhapsody which I also enjoyed, and worth a watch - beware, does contain some offensive material.
 
Just got back from watching Parasite. All I can say is wow, go and see it with knowing as little about it as possible, don't read any reviews and you are in for an absolute treat.

Just watched Crimson Tide for the first time. Decent film bit overly American in its delivery as expected but a good watch for an older film nonetheless
 
Does anyone know if any of the channels Sat&Dig or even Terrestial will be showing Sparticus and/or Paths Of Glory anytime soon as tribute to Kirk Douglas(or dare I say 'Cashing In'?
Can't see anything mentioned in the Press/mags saying anything yet that I can see.
Would be good to see them again after so long.
