Thommo414 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Just out of OUATIH and unfortunately have to agree with the criticisms on here.

Shanks said no Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Inna de Yard 9/10 Was fortunate enough to get free tickets for a preview showing of this earlier today. It won't be everyone's cup of tea but if you love Jamaica and reggae then you will enjoy it. It's a documentary capturing a remarkable group of reggae legends (including Ken Boothe, Winston McAnuff, Kiddus I, Cedric Myton and Judy Mowatt) as they gather to record an album of hits in an unplugged style that harks back to their roots.

Margot Robbie is very good and surprised there was criticism of her portrayal. Different. No way is Tarantino just doing one more film.

luckyBatistuta Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Went to see ‘Yesterday’ today. Was really looking forward to it, as the story was something just a little bit different. It was about a guy who was failing as a musician, until something happens and suddenly nobody has heard of the Beatles. He then starts to sing their songs and make out they are his work.It started off alright, but found myself halfway through praying it would just end (didn’t help that Ed Sheehan was in it) It was meant to be a bit of comedy too, think I laughed twice. 5/10 Edited September 4, 2019 by luckyBatistuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
