Shanks said no Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Caught by chance The Australian Dream documentary film last night on BBC2 Available on Iplayer I knew nothing of the Adam Goodes story, a bit of an eye opener to be honest. As sports documentaries go a 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, had been looking forward to it and it was a bit of a let down. Watched "3 from Hell" which is a follow up to "The Devils Rejects". Easy enough daft horror nonsense to watch.

Simo Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Bad Boys - Had never seen it but enjoyable watch. A few cheesy/funny lines, easy to follow if a bit ridiculous and decent action shots and explosions etc especially given it must be 20+ years old. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos_1874 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 American History X. A solid 8/10. Superb film with fantastic acting and a brilliant performance from Edward Norton.

1971fozzy Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Leon - ages since I watched it but recently bought the 4K disc and it’s such a great film. Gary Oldman is stark raving bonkers in it. Superb stuff and the 4K is a huge upgrade in PQ from the bluray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) The Peanut Butter Falcon 9/10 for originality Very unusual path for Hollywood to go down as it tells the story of a lad with Down’s syndrome. Has made an unlikely star of Zack Gottsagen. Although I was cynical when she put it on, as Mrs F is forever watching Undateables etc, it kept us engrossed, including our son, right until the end.

Supposedly it's not at all how it looks and is actually a really good film but the initial Netflix marketing just was obviously targeting their American viewers. This is the real poster which was used until Netflix got their hands on it. No such thing as bad publicity I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 “ brute force “ 1946 film with the great Burt Lancaster . Really good prison drama . Lancaster had a great screen presence . I also watched “ Spartacus “ for the first time . It was great apart from a fairly wooden performance from Kirk Douglas but a brilliant performance from Laurence Olivier . It’s great to contrast their acting styles . Charles Laughton was also great in it . Also watched “ Judy “ about the last year of Judys life . It was ok but left a lot out about this time and was a bit saccharine diluting the mess she was in towards the end of her life . However Zellweger really caught the Essence of Judy , her warmth , humour and compassion . I’ve been lucky to see both her daughters in concert and both are certainly chips off the old block .

Carl Fredrickson Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Took the kids to the cinema for the first time in months on Friday to see Jurassic Park. A film both of them love but they are too young to have seen it on the big screen. It is a film that I have seen lots but the big screen makes it so much better. 7/10 Disney+ is a favourite in our house. The One and Only Ivan was a decent watch. Kids will love it. I thought it was ok but it was inspired by a true story that got me looking on Google for it. Kids will give it 9/10, I thought it was 7/10 Magic Camp. Another one that kids will like. A few funny bits but very much a Disney formulated film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
