watched The Irishman the other night, the 3 hr duration made me cautious, needn't have as it was a very compelling story, beautifully shot by Scorcese, really sucked me in. The mafia type stuff always has a bit of black humour in it too. Not sure why but I had thought it was linked to Goodfellas given DeNiro and Pesci in the cast but it's nothing to do with that. The whole Jimmy Hoffa thing which remains massive in the US is a key part of the tale and Pacino is his usual brilliant self playing him. De Niro, Pacino and Pesci are all terrific in it. The Scouse actor Stephen Graham does a great turn too in exalted company. 9/10.

Watched Pitch Perfect again yesterday as it was on TV. Surprisingly decent, if you haven't seen it. The two sequels were trash though.

Got Contagion to watch but currently watching Philadelphia for the umpteenth time - brilliant film. Feels some current elements though as the fear of catching AIDS was very real back then. When Andy (Tom) meets his lawyer and they shake hands and then the lawyer (Denzel) feels contaminated...
Braved Contagion last night - far too close for comfort at the moment! Some of the dialogue about hand sanitiser and social distancing...scary!
I found it scary, too close to what's actually happening just now , seems like we're following the same script :eek:
