We watched three films last night....the first two didn't get past the first 5 minutes. Booksmart and Big Fish if you're interested. The third was allowed to go on. Great film...well I thought so.

At Middleton 8/10

Booksmart is very good. Not sure how you can judge the worth of a film after 5 minutes?

Hacksaw Ridge.

Knives Out is on Prime. Really enjoyable stuff.

The Judge, on Netflix, good film and great performance rom Robert Duvall.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Argo, Ben Affleck film from a few years back. Cracking film, nerve wracking to watch at times. Based on real events, the Affleck character must have had huge cahoonas.

 

[GG26]

Another ? for Le Mans 66.

 

[Orikoru]

Knives Out is on Prime. Really enjoyable stuff.

I watched that last week. I thought it was a very clever script. I just found Daniel Craig's southern American accent difficult to believe, maybe because he's too well known as Bond, I don't know. Clever film though, and a good cast.

 

[Beezerk]

Animal Kingdom, an Australian crime drama type film. Very very good.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Another Aussie film that is currently being watched
Crocodile ? Dundee.
Always good for a grin at the totally non pc language.

Midway.

Some of it ?. Some of it ?

 

[Pathetic Shark]

Found an absolute 70s classic on Five on-line last night - Capricorn One - based around a fake Mars mission and landing by NASA. Absolutely brilliant film with a tremendous final 30 seconds.

Midway.

Some of it ?. Some of it ?

I just about got through it, awfully cliched American nonsense. But I'm a sucker for war films so who cares

Greyhound is much better.

The Upside, (Amazon Prime).

Not normally my type of film, Brian Cranston and Kevin Hart are fantastic in this. Feelgood film based on a true story, thoroughly enjoyed it with some great laugh out loud moments in it.

 

[BubbaP]

We got through about 6 films yesterday. The first 5 were canned after 15 minutes top but we finall stuck with The Frozen Ground and really enjoyed it (if enjoyed is the right word)! 2013 though.

Several months later... yes know what you mean and agree.

 

[HowlingGale]

Animal Kingdom, an Australian crime drama type film. Very very good.

They have a TV series based on this on Prime. Pretty good. Set in USA though.

 

[need_my_wedge]

3 Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, again. On Film 4, superb film

 

[Beezerk]

They have a TV series based on this on Prime. Pretty good. Set in USA though.

I wanted to know more about the back story of the family after watching the film so I'll hunt this down

Harriet - On Sky, true story based on abolitionist Harriet Tubman who escaped slavery and then helped rescue others.
Thought it was very good, well worth a watch.

 

[Piece]

Bloodshot.

Vin Diesel takes “wooden-ness“ to a new level. Nice premise just totally naff!

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Just Mercy on Sky, true story of a lawyer who proves the innocence of a man on death row in Alabama.

Excellent film.
