The Northman, was ok but I wouldn't really recommend it to family and friends as a must watch.

Only managed half of it ? ?

Yes it was OK, but a bit of a letdown if I'm honest, the trailer had all the good bits. I'd suggest just watching that.?
Best film I’ve seen in a long time but I do like black comedies, specially those where it’s more of an examination of the person/persons. Hate crash bang wallop, car chase, shootout films, they bore the life out of me.
The Plane, new Gérard Butler film. Not the glossy, by numbers, film I was expecting. Quite raw and brutal. The flight scenes are very nervy, very well filmed. A good watch.
Good trailer wasn't it? It's not in the 'Fallen' style as the trailer suggests, it's grittier.
One trailer that made me smile today, Cocaine Bear ? ?. If they can get this to work........?

I've seen a very mixed bag of opinions on it. For me and the wife, we don't really like extremely depressing films, so she didn't enjoy it at all, and while I appreciated some of the dialogue and performances (particularly from Barry Keoghan who was the star of the film in my opinion), I found it too bleak to say I enjoyed it overall. I wouldn't watch again, put it that way. And I absolutely loved In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths, where it was more comedy and slightly less darkness.
Couple of my mates thought it was incredible though. They obviously don't mind a film that makes them terribly sad. ?

Went to see 'Till' - fact based drama on the life & murder of 14year old Emmett Till in America's deep south, and his mother's (Mamie) campaign for justice. Racism today is bad enough, but it's horrifying to know that such vicious racial hatred existed within our own lifetime. And frequently went unpunished. By no means a jolly, feelgood film, but well produced and definitely worth a watch.
Watched Bank of Dave last night.
Citizen Kane it isn't, but jolly good fun!

Just watched All Quiet On The Western Front, I need a lay down for a month.
Absolutely brutal film, I can't say I've ever seen a war film like it. Must watch imo.

Really enjoyed this. Great cast as well. Was a bit surprised the reviews were a bit meh. Glad I never read them before watching.
1923 [ On Paramount]
Not a film but a modern western range war series with Helen Mirren, Cars and Tommy guns.

To Lesley 2022, interesting film, a female alcoholic who once won the lottery.
With some country songs.

Wakanda Forever. Actually pretty good, best Marvel film in a while. That says, it tells a story that I am a massive comic book fan and Marvel films have become something I wait for on Disney plus rather than get me to the cinema like they used to.
