I heard a funny review of this. The studio said 'this was a film that studios used to make'. The reviewer added, 'there was a reason studios stopped making this type of film'

Even the missis said it was very cheesy and she binge watches every cheesy film known to man

Speak no evil.
James Mcavoy was excellent,decent enough film.

Good timing. I was looking for an easy watch for a Sunday evening

One Life
The Nick Winterton story.
I am old enough to remember the original That's Life story so no stranger to the story line.
Remarkable film about a remarkable man.
Serious tear jerker.

We watched this over the weekend. Like yourself, I remember the original That's Life story. A remarkable story of a remarkable man. It even brought my missus to tears, and that takes some doing for a film. Me? I shed a tear at lots of things.

Plane was perfect Sunday evening viewing...

Except - Gerard Butler. Weirdly always sounds like an American trying to talk with a Scottish accent!

This Beautiful Fantastic - lovely.

Agreed. I like watching British films. A lot of them are a lot more thought inspiring and "real".

100%. If I don't realise, but see in the opening credits, I'm always reassured it will be one I watch all the way through.

Batman (1966). If you haven't seen this yet, treat yourself. Wonderfully tongue-in-cheek but I laughed pretty much all the way through. I'm not sure how Adam West and Burt Ward kept a straight face.
You can also watch all the old Batman series on That's TV. Such fun. Now, where do I find Police Squad..........

The Radleys. Boring would be me being kind about it.

Sleepers (1996). One of those "sounds good, have I seen it?" films with a stellar cast. It was very good and no I hadn't seen it.

Not seen it for ages but it’s a brilliant film


Watched Mystery Alaska again recently

Highly recommended for a great feel good film

Have you seen Mystic river?

No. It's on Prime so will watch. Sounds good.

I watched a couple of films this week

Prey (Channel 4) another in the Predator line of films. Very good variation on the premise set in the early 1700s, Indians (one in particular) verses a Predator with a gang of Frenchies thrown in for good measure.

Polar (Netflix) quote " Polar is an extremely gory and ultra violent film that is so over the top and wacky, that it makes for a bloody good watch!!!!"
You have been warned. Wish I had got a similar warning about Hostel.

On my theme this week of older, darker films. The Unforgivable (2021). Excellent. Another one I hadn't seen...

 

[PaulMdj]

Taking Chance, superb film, based on facts, about a USMC Colonel (played by Kevin Bacon) escorting the body of a Marine home to his family.

Made in 2009, but only just come across it.

Looking forward to seeing this when it comes out https://news.sky.com/story/london-f...fers-view-of-war-through-childs-eyes-13230578

Joker 2. Nowhere near as bad as the reviews have made out. The singing is a bit pointless, but quite entertaining.

Good story, and a good ending, solid 7/10

(That said, the woman behind me said it was the worst film she had ever seen in her life)
