Films

Cardboard Gangster on Netflix. Irish local gang rivalry film. I had to turn on subtitles as the Irish accent was so thick. Not bad.

Trying News of the World with Tom Hanks tonight.
 
Have managed to squeeze in, between watching poxy Bridgerton, a couple of half decent films...
News of the World with Tom Hanks a gentle PC take on the western genre...
The Judge with Robert Duvall, Ironman and Billy Bob... A really good watch more than worthy of its 7+ IMDb rating...

We really enjoyed watching This Happy Breed (1944) - this evening - recorded from Film4 couple of weeks back. If its on again we can recommend it. Story of a London family between WW1 and WW2 and fascinating insight into home-life and attitudes of the times with really interesting views of London (Clapham) in technicolour.

Watched To Olivia on Saturday night, the story about Roald Dahl’s oldest daughter who died off measles.
A complex movie, judging by the story it’s something that he never got over, I thought there would be a bit more about his story writing as it was books I read growing up.
Definitely worth a watch in my opinion.
 
Watched Tenet on Saturday. Completely daft concept and plot where you just need to stop even trying to understand it and blindly accept the film's internal logic I think. Had some good action scenes and good acting performances. I think I'm getting too old for films I have to concentrate on though. Inception was child's play compared to this.
 
The Italian Job (remake). With Marky Mark.

Never seen it before, but it was on twice over the weekend and I watched it twice. Probably won’t remember much of it but was entertaining.
 
Watched Larry Olivier's King Lear (1983) last night...dug up on YouTube - I can go back and re-read it now that I know what it's all about...not that it's a bundle of laughs...

Coming 2 America. Not going to win any oscares but a reasonable, low budget stocking filler in the vain of (but no way as good as) the original. A 5.5 on IMDB sums it up - and worth watching given the dearth of alternatives atm
