RobboM Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling On demand on Sky Documentaries It's a 4 hour documentary directed and presented by Judd Apatow across 2 parts. I'd guess the 4hr part will put off any casual viewer but for anyone who watched and was a fan of The Garry Shandling Show, or The Larry Sanders Show then this is for you. It's a look at his life and works and is both very funny and brutally honest. It's a 10/10 for any Garry Shandling fans and a wtf for those who aren't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The Mule - Amazon Prime clint Eastwood playing a drugs mule for a cartel. Predictable but decent. Amazing he’s still acting. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley Cooper is fantastic, Lady Gaga is even better. 10/10. Didn't think I'd like this but I gave it a shot. 7.5/10 from me, very decent. Was expecting it to be a bland love story tied with a pop star's rise to fame and with a crap soundtrack, but it's as much about a man's battles with alcoholism. Both leads were excellent. I was right about the soundtrack though. Not my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 News Of The World on Netflix. Set in Texas in the 1870’s with Tom Hanks as a man who goes from town to town reading newspapers to people who accidentally ends up looking after a young girl who has been brought up by the Kiowa Indians and needs returned to her white family. Very good film and one of those you watch where the casting is perfect, it could only have been Tom Hanks. The young girl is fantastic as well. A solid 8/10 from me.

Really enjoyed it, had a good amount of tension and the acting was pretty decent. 7/10 Liked the premise of the film but thought it was a bit dull. Plus points were good acting and music score but disappointing ending. 5.5/10 If you like a good space film with drama I'd suggest watching Sunshine with Cillian Murphy and Chris Evans amongst others. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good version of a classic story . Judy Garland version still the best though in my pinion . Barbra Streisand version is just dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Unforgiven - on disc clint Eastwood in fine form. That final shootout scene is awesome. Great music and cinematography as well as Gene Hackman playing a bad ass sheriff.

rudi must stay Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Nomadland My thoughts on it are it's an original film (the Nomad lifestyle has never been depicted on the big screen) and I had no problems with it from an editing and continuity point of view. I just found it depressing and dull 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchez Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Collateral (2004) - 7.5/10 Got immediate Heat vibes from this - another enjoyable Michael Mann film.

Documentary telling of his rise and subsequent disappearance off the face of the earth with a huge sum of money. Loved the stories around his gang v the Italians. As many of the contributors were old associates, who had clearly sampled the goods, some of it had to be taken with a pinch of salt. available on Amazon Prime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as good as the "dragon tattoo" but still excellent Had a couch day yesterday - Sky+ rerun of "Tomorrow Never Dies" . One of Brosnan's best.
