Films

Remember The Titans. An old favourite that I should watch more often.

Right up there with Any Given Sunday, Varsity Blues, and Friday Night Lights, 4 really good American football films, which if you like, you also have the ever awesome Friday Night Lights tv series too.

Been on a little Denzel Fest over the last couple of weeks. Last night we watched Man On Fire, my favourite of his.

Whilst it is about American Football, I see it more as a film about life. So many great truths in it.
 
Fantastic film. Don't need to say much more.

First watched it in Florida as respite from the theme parks. Thought I had some understanding of race relations & the depth of feeling over there; when Coach Boone responded to the brick through the window I realised just how much I'd underestimated that. :oops::oops:
 
15 of the 23 Marvel films done now - Civil War made a lot more sense having seen the others in the right order leading up to it. Endgame is going to be the epic way to end this adventure. I had not seen either of the Guardians of the Galaxy films before - those are both so tongue-in-cheek they are fantastic.

I have been doing the same but missed a 4 out by not getting the order right. Sadly with Sky losing the rights to the Disney ones I am now in to buying DVDs or might consider a subscription to Disney for a while

Looking for another opinion - is Iron Man 3 worth bothering with now I have seen up to and including End Game.

I can recommend Disney but Iron Man 3 is pretty weak. Neither Spiderman not Hulk are on Disney so had to miss those but they are weak films. I had seen many of them at times over the years but doing them in the sequence and one every couple of days has been excellent as it does all fit together pretty well.

I agree not much miss to by not watching Spiderman 1, 2 was the best and I gave up watching Spiderman 3 less half the way through. This is about what my daughter told me about them.
 
One film I watched this week is Wave.

It's about a very straight laced lawyer who gets talked in to going out for a night on the town and takes a mind blowing drug.

Very funny in places and has you wondering what exactly is going on. All makes perfect sense at the end.
 
Watched Seven Pounds again. I know I've seen it but couldn't remember most of it...not a bad film but clearly not memorable either!
 
Watched extraction on netflix last night, Chris Hemsworth movie.
Omg how violent! Really gripping edge of your seat stuff but wow, brutal!
Concur, half decent intense actioner with reasonable plot and a high body count for sure. Pet hate is indecipherable dialogue though, really struggled at times with the mumbling..

watched it last night, really enjoyed it. Agree, the sound volume when talking seemed to drop on a few occasions making it hard to hear. But, wasn’t really watching for the dialogue, didn‘t make it less watchable.

a good couple of steps up for Netflix own movies from Spenser Confidential
 
I watched Yesterday this week good enough to keep going to the end but more of a Sunday afternoon film than a late night blockbuster.

I watched Yesterday as it was largely filmed in and around Gorleston where my old Mum saw out her days... With her being a fan of the Beatles also... The whole film brought back many happy memories...
