Anyone seen Parasite? It's on Amazon now but I'm not sure it appeals. Is it worth diving in?

Personally not, but others thought it worth it. Had its moments but there are others I'd much rather watch in preference such as Just Mercy or Green Book.

Guardian of the Galaxy. Next one tomorrow.
Well, mmmmmmmmmmmmm. We did not make it to the end. Without giving anything way we reached the point when the family were returning from their camping trip and we agreed to bale out. I struggle when I watch a film with pretty much no redeeming characters. I get the point of the film, see why it won awards etc but it just did not do it for me.

That surprises me, i thought it was the best film i saw last year and one that kept me engaged all the way through.....then if we all liked the same things the world would be a boring place

Rebecca (2020) on Netflix. Soulless and completely lacking the atmosphere Du Maurier wrote. If you've seen the Fontaine/Olivier version from 1940 don't bother unless you are a Kristin Scott Thomas fan (she's good as Mrs Danvers and that's it). If you like the book (and even if you haven't read it) and not seen the 1940 version then you should watch it

I need someone to root for in a film, or TV for that matter. There was no one in the film that I could feel empathy for. I know the poor family should have received that but they were just horrible. If I don't care about anyone in the film then it doesn't engage me.
As I said, I do understand the plaudits. It isn't one of those where I throw a hissy fit and call the film rubbish. It just didn't work for me.

1917. Did not do it for me. Well filmed and could have been great but never really connected with the main character for some reason.
I gave up on it before the end, probably about 20 mins left.

Just Mercy. Really good. Based on a true story. Tough watch at times - I just cannot imagine my life, my opportunities, how I'm perceived and treated being defined by the colour of my skin...the words escape me...

Hostiles. Saw it at the flicks, just watched again on Netflix, fantastic film, great performances by Christian Bale and Wes Studi.

It's more than tough in places but it is absolutely brilliant.

As I'm self isolating I'm planning Officer and a Gentleman, Top Gun, Noting Hill, Four Weddings, Saving Private Ryan, Dirty Dancing and many more...or at least until Thursday when The Masters starts!
