Anyone seen Greyhound yet? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6048922/ saw a trailer so have it on my watch list for one night this week, I do love Tom Hanks.

Its on my list for one night this week, really looking forward to watching it

Watched it last night, not too sure if I’m honest, Hanks is very good and there are some decent moments of suspense, but just seemed to be missing something, something I can’t quite put my finger on.

Just seen this. More holes than..............pretty much any other film I've seen ?. Had the potential to be quite good but needed a better script editor, director, basically someone to point out the enormous plot holes. Ah well, nothing else was on so not much lost.

I’d second that opinion. Was really looking forward to it and just felt a bit let down.

Watched The Greyhound last night. Definitely worth a watch!
Has Tom Hanks ever made a bad film?

Old Guard Action film with Charlize Theron on Netflix. Bit weird about immortals who do die but then suddenly heal and carry on as normal except eventually they stop being immortal and have a final death if it's their time..

Saw it pop up and was interested - so will give it a watch

The lack of a story? It’s like they watched Das Boot and had to put the Jerry’s back in their can. ‘We won the God damn war! Get Hanks, get it done, get it out!!,

Watched it last night, was an ok bit of nonsense, light relief from all the murder drama's we've been watching. But even the mrs Wedge asked if it was Highlander, suggesting the CIA guy was one of the "watchers"....

I gave more thought to that post than they did for the entire film ?

SPOILER ALERT - Old Guard
Watched this last night, quite enjoyable and a good cast but gaping plot holes that could have been easily addressed - i.e. how do they cross borders? - seen in an old russian drug runners 'Dakota' flying secretly over Afghanistan then cut to suddenly they're outside Paris? How did Theron's character get into the US Afghan military base to remove the newbie immortal, just casually walking along in one of the most secure military installations you could get? The Asian lady immortal that was 500 years on the seabed in an iron maiden thingy and had gone insane was seen at the end credits looking and acting pretty normally - was sure some part of the film would involve her rescue but no, annoying.
Seemed set up for a sequel.

Equaliser 2 on Netflix - Denzel back and exacting justice exactly how you'd expect - really enjoyed this one.

Van Helsing ,got poor box office due to a major event happening on its opening day ,who goes to the cinema when the twin towers have just been destroyed .shame as it's a great film and would have loved to have seen a sequel to it..

Been having a bit of a Tony Scott week with Beverley Hills Cop II, Days of Thunder and Crimson Tide...

Watched Greyhound on Apple TV.........very good. worth the £4.99 a month for that one film.
BTW the sods at Now TV had raised the price to £11.99 without telling us.....Now TV No More.

Ad Astra. Not as bad as I was led to believe. Did feel like it was made up of Interstellar and Gravity editing cuts.

Hmm, I am recording this. Not sure it's for me. Interstellar was tosh, and Gravity was ludicrously flawed.

If you didn't like those, then can't see you liking this!

Master and Commander is today's choice ,seen it loads but still a good bit of escapism .

 

[Beezerk]

Onward, great little Pixar film ?

Hang em High is tonight's viewing, Clint getting revenge on those that tried to hang him

Finally caught Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Very long but enjoyable. Pitt and Di Caprio bounced off each other well.
