Kind of half watched that last weekend, was ok I guess. Missus loved it but then again she could watch Mama Mia on constant repeat 😂

Steven Knight is a top writer...
Whilst most blokes know him from the likes of Peaky Blinders, Taboo and Locke...
He also pens 'stuff' that you can watch with your auntie without feeling uncomfortable...
 
Watched Bright last night. It was OK. Had an interesting premise but then did nothing with it. Really obvious comments on race etc but the idea of crossing modern day with toleinesque characters could have been far more interesting than it actually was.

I watched the first 30 minutes and then turned off. Is it worth going back to and finishing off?
 
Not sure if i already posted about it, but watched again last week because its that good!

100 Meters. Its on Netflix, its a true story and in spanish with subtitles (i would usually immediately not bother!, but trust me!) From Netflix: A man who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis responds by training for an Ironman triathlon, with his cranky father-in-law's help.

Its so good, you will laugh, cry and have a look at your life i promise!
 
Watched 2 recently, both on BT films.

'Back to Burgundy', French film with subtitles, earthy family drama set on a vineyard. Reviews are mixed but we 3 who watched all enjoyed it. 8/10.

'Mountains' is good, especially viewed on a very big telly! Artily shot and Willem Defoe narrated documentary all about mountains. Sounds naff but it's pretty good, shot round the world with much drone filming - some buttock clenching moments watching mad climbers doing crazy things. Visually very beautiful. 8/10.
 
Just watched Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri... Stunning, complex, brilliant film. Possibly the best film I've seen for several years. Francis Mcdormand is almost perfect and should win the Oscar.

If you haven't seen it then I can only say that you're missing out.

Watched ‘Get out’ last night . Half decent but doesn’t deserve the plaudits it got. I figured out the ‘twist’ after about half an hour

It’s an incredible film and I don’t think there is a ‘twist’ it’s clear in all the trailers what happens
 
Kenny - Starts with Heysel and ends in 2017, great film, he’s been through some traumatic times both on and off the field, great watch for a nuetral, probably even better for a red nose, the man is a legend and deserves all the plaudits.
 
"This is your death- on Sky Cinema - a TV station creates a show where people commit suicide in front of a live audience. Really disturbing in places, eye-opening in others.

Stunning no, complex yes, brilliant maybe, Frances McDormand yes. Good but still doesn't trump Eye In The Sky or Spotlight for me.

Just watched Eye in The Sky, cheers mate, great call.
Maybe try Spotlight tomorrow :)

Glad you enjoyed it mate, probably even more in it for you than me given your background. Mrs & I watched it & then on a whim decided to watch Jungle Book on the way out as we've got the annual cinema passes & had paid a small fortune for parking. Came out of Jungle Book and agreed that it had been pretty much a waste of time because for the first half of it we couldn't stop thinking about all the issues raised in Eye In The Sky. IIRC Smiffy rates it as well & he's not a bad judge.
