The Undoing , series on Sky Atlantic with Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman, looks good after 3 EPs.

I'm polar opposite, think The Green Mile is an excellent film, seen it a couple of times, whereas Shawshank doesn't really float the boat for me. Seen it once and not really interested enough to watch it again.

Seen Episode 1 and a good start. Had to block my ears during Gogglebox last week as they watched Episode 2!

Green Mile and Shawshank were both good...preferred Shawshank, only because I like to end the film feeling good. My general rule....don't watch the movie unless it makes you feel better. But then again, there are some people who like being whipped to feel better......

Interesting to see what Sky do for Christmas film releases this year. Normally they have a stack of massive releases in the build up to and over the Xmas period. Problem is that they are normally the big cinema releases from the last 3-6 months and, of course, there have been no big cinema releases over the last 3-6 months and those that were released will want to rake a bit of Xmas cash in from DVD sales before going on to streaming channels.

I am now up to Avengers - Age of Ultron.
I definitively prefer the Captain America / Ironman centric movies more than the space based ones.
Antman next, not sure what to expect there.

Not necessarily better (don't need to be whipped either
) but to feel something, or to be made to think. Eye in the Sky challenged my views on something I felt strongly about & wouldn't be swayed on; Just Mercy made me angry; The Untouchables makes me feel good; but all the films that would be near the top of my list make me feel something, just not necessarily better.

Nothing wrong with that. That's why there are lots of different types of movies. My favs are all happy feelie action packed ones.....Star Wars, The Mummy, Stardust, UP, the good guy wins. Very limited.....I know....I am a warped person.Not necessarily better (don't need to be whipped either

Quite like the rewatchables pod. Of all the contributors i find Chris Ryan the most listenable.
It's certainly a good sidebar to the films themselves.
Simmonds seems to have quite a following in the US, but his ability to incorrectly predict sporting outcomes must make him popular with the bookies.
we watched "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" last night, i quite like off the wall films but had no clue what this was about

I worked with Bill and Cousin Sal a few years ago before Bill's "departure" from ESPN for his comments about Roger Goodell. Sal's book on gambling is going to be the book of 2021 when it comes out. And if there is a funnier section out there than "Parent Corner", then I have yet to hear it.

Captain America: Civil War
totally unexpected, not really sure who the bad guys are. Enjoyed that one as well.
(I think it might be Thor ruining the other movies for me, bringing to much space stuff along)

Just progressed to that one as Spiderman wasn't on Disney+. Seems a lot more like Gardian of the Galaxy than the other Thor movies.

Spiderman isn't on Disney plus? Ffs lol I thought they had them all. I know there is the Sony rights issue but for crying out loud it's an important movie link

They missed Hulk towards the beginning and now Spidy. It doesn't feel like I missed something between Black Panther and Dr. Strange, but maybe once it goes to the Avengers movies there might be a little gap there.

They should only have 1 hulk movie on there I believe ?
I hope it's there I still never saw that one
