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.


Second that, wasn't expecting a lot but got much more out of it than I expected. (y)

Saw Captain Marvel yesterday. Pretty decent. Nice that they didn't make it too long and over-laboured as they have with some of the superhero films. Nice extended role for SLJ as Fury, rather than the smaller roles he's normally had. The cat though, just.. what??

I'm two thirds of the way through Oceans 8, daughters film choice. Hellfire it's bad. No likeable characters, incredibly smug, utter nonsense. Please let it be over soon.
Put your foot down! The match is on! :p:p

Just watched Death of Stalin. Absolutely loved it. Horrifying and hilarious in equal measure. I'm a big fan of Armando Ianucci's work and this is right up there with his best. Made me quite interested to find out more about the history of the period too.

Watched Venom last night.
Watchable,but not great.
I’m starting to think that Tom Hardy is over rated as an actor.

The Mule - Clint Eastwood Stars and directs, not bad, not your usual drug cartel film, but a decent watch.

Thumbs up for Fishermans Friends, thought it would be corny [great pun] but a nice storyline running throughout.
Busiest I have seen the cinema in ages average age around 70 I guess.:love:

I remember singing Trelawney at school, what a great song, it should replace the British GSTQ as England's anthem

Watched The Miami Band Massacre last night on Netflix.

It was presented with a definitely bias towards the Nationalist side of the Troubles in Ireland but it was still a clear example of the collusion between the armed forces and the loyalist terrorists during the Troubles. Whatever their motives, they were happy to see innocent blood spilt.

Watched Triple Frontier on Netflix, a decent enough heist film. Ben Afflek and Charlie Hannam make it pretty watchable even if the plot is a bit predictable (ex US army rob a South American Drug Lord)

"The Highwaymen" on Netflix. The Bonnie and Clyde story told from the side of the Texas Rangers who hunted them down. Kevin Costner is magnificent, Woody Harrelson simply plays the same character he always does in films now. The story is superb and a very different angle to the Warren Beatty/Faye Dunaway movie that most people have seen. Definitely recommended.

Fisherman's Friends; easy to watch, a very good comedy, well worth a watch.

White Crow; a film about Rudolph Nureyev's career & defection. Not bad but very heavily subtitled, if that's not your thing.
