Rice is having a mare already.

Not the only one apparently! ?

I just went to a 'cinema', at least I think it was called that.. went to see Nobody. A fun action film, think John Wick but with the guy from Better Call Saul instead of Keanu. And a sparkling cameo from the legend that is Christopher Lloyd. Very enjoyable action flick. ??

Ive.seen that , enjoyed it too

 

[Fade and Die]

Outside the Wire. Another disappointing Netflix film. Trailer looked good but it was really just Meh.

A Town like Alice. Currently on iPlayer and as B&W easily overlooked or dismissed.

Based on the Nevil Shute novel of love and suffering (I’m a bit of a NS fan) of a group of British women and children in WWII Malaya after fall of Singapore to the Japanese...quite tough in parts. But of course it wins for me also as it has a 25yr old Virginia McKenna in the main female lead looking her absolute loveliest and most stalwart and beautiful English ’rose’ - with Peter Finch playing the best sort of Aussie bloke opposite her. Filmed in 1956 on location in Malaya and Alice Springs gave for me some really interesting historical insight. Excellent.

Ice Road. Amazon Prime film with Liam Neeson as an ice trucker trying to get equipment to trapped miners in time. Filed under 'reasonable'.

The Hitman's Girlfriends Bodyguard. Well, what do you expect? . It did what it does well. Take your brain out, £5 a ticket, Selma Hayek looking wonderful , all's good. If you want a film with depth, meaning, to stretch you, don't bother.

 

[Beezerk]

A Quiet Place 2, very good and doesn't let the first one down.

Still Alice, a 2014 film about a language professor developing Alzheimer's .

....... went to see Nobody. A fun action film, think John Wick but with the guy from Better Call Saul ...............??

I was hoping you meant Mike (Johnathan Banks). I thought he was great in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. I'd love to see him playing a similar character in a movie or series of his own.
I do like Bob Odenkirk as well though.

Black Widow - Very good, enjoyable. Not quite what I expected but then that isn't necessarily a bad thing . Nice to see a money no object film again

One of the leads, Florence Pugh is an absolute star in it. Not emerged on my radar previously but one I will definitely look out for in futre.

One of the trailers was for the new Disney summer action film, Pirates of Jumanji (it may actually be called Jungle Cruise ). If you liked Pirates & Jumanji then this is one for you. Looks fun.

A Quiet Place 2, very good and doesn't let the first one down.

Was that at the cinema?
Cheers

Life on the Rocks 2021 film , 5 stories in a bar setting. Nothing special but enjoyable.

Erm no ?

Seven, trying to educate my son ?. Annoyingly, by trying to give nothing away we set my son up to expect a twist or shock and so when it came he was ready for it ?. Still a good film though, it stands up well.

Finally got round to watching Promising Young Woman. I'd avoided finding out too much about it but was expecting great things from all the hype. Now that I've seen it I'm feeling slightly conflicted about it. It wasn't what I expected, so was a bit disappointed about that. On the other hand I really enjoyed it for what it actually was. Glad I've seen it now and would definitely watch again.

Obviously not relevant to me but this may resonate with some of you

The Doorman........ummm...... so bad I started to fast forward it, and still gave up. Don't waste your time

Summer of Soul, absolutely amazing.
If you're a music fan it's a must watch, not just the story, the standard of musicianship on show is utterly out of this world.
I need to watch it again ?
