Carl Fredrickson Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood. A wonderful feel good film with Tom Hanks excellent as Fred Rogers. Based on a true story, I had to Google to find out who Fred Rogers was. A very enjoyable film that may fly under the radar of many Rhythm Section Started brightly and promised much BUT about half an hour in it started to deteriorate. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Watched the BAFTAs last night. possibly the unfunniest jokes cracked by everyone in the earths history. WTF was Graham Norton smoking ? Crucified The Irishman in his opening ramblings when Pacino and DeNiro were there positively raging. As for Gillian Anderson’s attempt at humour 😂😂😂 Joaquim Phoenix deservedly winning best actor but fek me what a rambling speech. Think I’m done with these award shows tbh. only saving grace was Scarlett Johansson who looked edible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Ordered Joker on amazon a few weeks ago and it got delivered this afternoon by courier for some reason (meant to be out the morn). Nice surprise. So watched it tonight (saw it at the cinema and loved it). Even better second time round. Utterly fascinating but a dark dark film. Loved it. ** For anyone who has a 4k telly and player your in for a treat if you get the 4k disc.

I'd give it a solid 8/10. Just watched this. Thought it was brilliant and a top notch performance from Adam Sandler in a role completely different from any other I’ve seen him in. I know some folk don’t like him or his movies, but don’t be put off.

rudi must stay Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Birds of Prey Decent watch. Something different DC wise and it worked better than Suicide Squad, I thought Margot Robbie put in a good shift acting wise as well (full of energy) not the take the money flat performance I expected.

rudi must stay Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Gemini Man Good looking movie, I felt that was Will Smith's best effort and that was great to watch but it's an odd script and I found the humour unnecessary and it didn't always hit the mark.

It's what Dunkirk should have been imo I saw "1917" this evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good acting, plenty of suspense, great cinematography. The story line was a bit improbable a couple of times, but that didn't detract from the film. "Dunkirk" was a disappointment to me, and is not in the same league.

Dark, long and very violent crime thriller from the director of Bone Tomahawk. Enjoyed this and, despite not usually being in a fan of his, I must say Mel Gibson was excellent in it.

He was unbelievable in it, incredible every scene every second. One dimensional because he was evil, perhaps, but actings acting and it's all about not breaking character and he never did that. Just my opinion, it's up there with Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I’ve just watched Hitting The Apex a documentary about MotoGP racing. Very well made with some great footage and access to the riders featured. There is a very moving segment about Marco Simoncelli but I have to say I was a bit shocked that they actually showed his fatal crash and the camera shots of him lying dead on the track after his helmet had been ripped off in the impact. I remember how shocked I was watching it live and didn’t feel any need to ever see it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
