William H.

We were there on Sunday to see it and the sound was LOUD I was at the Odeon tonight to see Sir Alex Ferguson Never Give In. The film isnt about football achievements as much as about him as a man. Some amazing old footage especially from his Aberdeen days. At just over two hours long it had a lot to cram in. One of his sons was the driving force behind it and I think he produced and/or edited it so it is very much through Fergie tinted glasses. Well worth a watch and we are very unlikely to see a manager as successful as him again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montage In 1998, a woman loses her daughter in a kidnapping case that was never solved. Another really good movie imo.

JudyJudyJudy Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) “The woman in the window “ Really what can I say about this ? An impressive cast is the only good thing about it . Amy Adams , Gary Oldman , Julianne Moore and Jennifer Jason Leigh ( whatever happened to her ?) This is more like a rip off of “ Rear window “ and “ Vertigo “ than a homage . The director tries old Hitckcockian camera tricks etc but it’s an absolute joke of a film. A totally implausible plot and a waste of outstanding acting talent . None of them can save this stinker . For the Jambos who saw through it and gave it less than it’s running time , well done . I’m watched it to the end to see how bad it could get and since I’m a fan of Hitchcock I even predicted the fight scene at the end would be Hitch rip off . Dire . If directors want to copy Hitch least do it with style and panache like the great Brian de Palma has done with films like “ Dressed to kill “ “ Body double “ or “ Raising cain “ or Claude Chabrol with “ The butcher” ! or “Blood relatives “ 3/10 Edited May 28, 2021 by JamesM48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 “Doubt “ with Phillip Seymour Hoffman , Meryl Streep and Amy Adams . 2008 Outstanding film about a priest who may or may not have abused a child . It’s very ambiguous about his guilt or not . It’s left in “ doubt “ . It’s up to the individual viewer to decide if he was or not , based on their own interpreting of the information and perceptions and inner prejudices. However the nun played by Meryl Streep believes he is and starts the ball rolling with her own investigation into his potential abuse . She never waivers in her belief despite the fact he may be innocent and she has no evidence . She just “ thinks “ he did it based on her own feelings anc prejudices really. If anyone has ever seen it I think she is a complex piece of work in it . She’s Jealous of male dominance in the Catholic Church ( still the same ) and the subjugation of women as mere servants in the church and sees it as way to bring him down ? Anyway Hoffman was always a superb actor and real loss to acting when he died so young . Amy Adams is terrific as the questioning nun who believes he is not guilty . Streep is great as usual but I’ve never really taken to her as an actress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
