Films

Watched Spartacus again over the weekend on Sky Movies. Almost 60 years old now. Still a masterpiece in film making. Still can't work out why only one person is listed as playing him in the credits yet about 200 people all claimed to be him in the film though.
 
currently watching ALIENS the second of the series ,and the best.

Alien is on at my local cinema at the moment. Very tempting.

Went to see On The Basis Of Sex last night. The pacing isn’t quite right - the first hour is patchy at best but once it moves onto the crux of the story, it really comes into its own.
 
Also got tickets to watch Captain Marvel, tomorrow evening. Dont' really know too much about the character, other than there's a big link to Avengers Endgame, which is why were going.

Exactly the same for us 😁.
Can’t wait for End game.

Not going until Sunday,so no spoilers please.
 
Captain Marvel, really good both as a stand alone movie and links to other Marvel films, no spoilers, you’ll enjoy it.
7/10 for me. Okay but not brilliant. Without the numerous Marvel film in-bits I think it would have struggled. I can see the potential for it to be very good but the lead needs more than a steely glare and lovely flowing hair. I'm sure there will be a sequel, hopefully they work the script more.

I agree the scope for the lead is big, like you say, this is more of an introduction to better things, still worth a visit to the pictures rather than waiting for Sky/DVD release imo.
 
The other night I watched American Psycho for the first time. Bale's performance was really entertaining, but I'm not a big fan of endings like that one, I didn't find it that satisfying. I feel like it's a tad overrated now that I've seen it.

The book is better than the film, but I enjoyed both a lot.
 
If you’re looking for a feel good, good humoured, easy to watch film, go see “Fighting With My Family” based on the true story of Paige the WWE female wrestler from Norwich.
Son’s choice, have no interest in Wrestling and I’d never actually heard of her.
Good film, great mix of British and US humour.
