Watched 'In Order of Disappearance' on Iplayer films.
Really good Norwegian based revenge/gangster thriller with a very slight comedic slant, with subtitles. The always excellent Stellan Skarsgard is lead.
Very satisfying watch.

Coco. Pixar's latest. Absolutely brilliant. Back to Pixar's best with fabulous animation, laugh out loud funny with some great ghoulish slapstick. Really touching story. Must have had a bit of dust in my eye by the end.

Watched Coco with my daughter last night, we both thoroughly enjoyed it.
At one point she was like "Are you crying Daddy?"..."No of course not, it must just be the light" :whistle:

I wanted to see this but heard the reviews. Too many dust in the eye scenes put me off 😁. It's bad enough blubbing at adult films but when it's animation.........still not over Big Hero 6.

Red Sparrow. It was like a 1970's spy thriller. I was waiting for Michael Caine to appear, never did though. No car chases, no gun fights, no CGI. Proper script, proper story.

I can't make out if Jennifer Lawrence can do more than one expression, Hunger Games x 3 and this all had her frozen, expressionless face, but she absolutely dominates the film. She has star presence.

The rest of the cast were excellent apart from two Brits, Jeremy Irons and Ciaran Hinds, who did dreadful mock Russian accents. Luckily they are not in it enough to spoil the film.

Go and see it.

It's been absolutely panned by the critics :D I'll watch it if it comes on Film 4 in a couple of years ;)

Maybe the sight of Jennifer looking hot for 2 hours addled my opinion :D.

Like many films it depends what your expectation is before you go in. I enjoyed it, never felt the need to check my watch.

Peter Rabbit up next, trailer for Deadpool, released on May 16th, shown last night. The excitement builds.

If I was to go and see it, my expectation would be to see Jennifer Lawrence in the nude.

Doesn't she get her kit off in it?:clap:

I can confirm she does once. It is a power scene, those who have seen it will understand.

She also wears some nice skimpies on a couple of occasions which, because of the context of the scene, are far nicer scenes than the one above. Killer swimming costume as well.

Enough about that, dirty old men.....
