40 years since Escape to Victory.
Good joke going around Scotland about the film plot of bias refs, bent officials and hostile crowds but 'not for here'.

The Last Letter from Your Lover, a 2021 romance, drama film, keep the tissues handy if you're sentimental

 

[Patster1969]

Jolt on Amazon - ridiculous but quite entertaining (we didn't turn it off after half an hour, so that's our benchmark)

We watched Guns Akimbo on the weekend. Starring Harry Potter as an internet troll who gets two guns bolted to his hands by bad guys and has to deal with repercussions of that. A kind of gory action comedy. I would file it under 'so bad it's good', it was alright and filled an hour and a half.

Proper brain out movie. I turned it off when halfway through and finished it later. Worryingly its set up for a sequel.

Completely - the plot was easy enough to understand. Totally agree re the likelihood of a sequel.
Do enjoy seeing Ms Beckinsale kicking butt though - I don't think I've seen her in a film where she does any actual acting

OPEN , a 2021 drama, romance, golf film, a bit slow/sloppy but still looks interesting after 20 minutes .
Update , Boring

Soul. Disappointing, easily the weakest Pixar film I've seen.

Really? Enjoyed that film.

We have watched this week

Cruella
Space jam 2
Black widow

Space jam was a what the hell ride lol but brought back memories of the first

Cruella brilliant

Black widow half way through but so far just a film about a supporting character rather than a proper hero unlike the captain marvel film which I can't wait for the second

Black widow gets better. For me the sister steals the show, she is brilliant.

Soul, too much of the animation was flat, black and white. That was dull for me, not interesting. The scenes of piano playing were superb, there was just not enough of it.

 

[PNWokingham]

Colombiana on Netflix. Thought it was foreign language but mainly English - so acceptable to the Mrs!! Surprisingly good. Worth watching

 

[PJ87]

After finishing black widow it has confirmed my thoughts for many years

Ray Winston Is a terrible actor

Ray Winston did the best impression of a Russian with a Cockney South African accent I've ever seen.

Other than that, Black Widow was a great movie.

Can't stand the mockney

Terrible actor

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

I am in a phase where I just have one of those older movies on and actually watch it rather than just having it on.
This came along on teh TV, I have 'seen' it plenty of times, but not sure I ever seen it all the way in one go.

We watched The Dead Don't Die the other night. Had a great cast, including Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Danny Glover, Tilda Swinton, it's a zombie comedy type of thing which admittedly has been done to death (no pun intended) but I thought the cast would make it decent. My God, it was terrible. So so bad. It had some promise, then it was as if the writer got bored and/or drunk and just tanked the end of his own script on purpose. So disappointing, absolutely no pay-off at the end at all, just a mess of stupid ideas that didn't work. One to avoid.

 

[AmandaJR]

Summerland. Wonderful.

When I see BFI in the opening credits I'm optimistic and this exceeded expectations...tissues needed.
