Shanks said no Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 How I fell in love with a gangster 8/10 The life and times of Nikos (Nikodem Skotarczak), notorious Polish gangster. Gave it a couple of extra points for being about a Eastern bloc bloke who bought a football club, Lechia Gdansk. Probably give it a 2nd viewing as there were quite a few WTF moments but recommend if you are into gangster films. Netflix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Magic Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 In The Name of the Father. Absolutely brilliant. DDL just doesn’t pick bad films or put on a performance anything other than amazing. He’s managed this through out his career and this is an early indication he f his ability and film choice. Supported by an equally brilliant Pete Postlethwaite it’s all about the Guildford 4.

Francis Albert Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Seconding a couple of recent recommendations. The Father. Not a huge fan of Hopkins but he is brilliant. The confusions and twists have you wondering about your own sanity. Belfast. Some might find it a tad sentimental bit it is Branaghs tribute to his childhood home town. Told from a protestant families perspective and illustrates how that side of the religious divide were as much the victims of their own fanatics as those of the other side.oving and a great soundtrack.

Carl Fredrickson Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Beauty & The Beast (1991) at the Odeon yesterday. The Odeon will often have older films for a single screening, which I love as I missed a lot of films on the big screen. My kids and I have went to see older Star Wars films, Jaws, Muppets etc and the latest one is a film that I dont think I have ever watched all the way through, despite it being one of my daughters favourites. It was well worth going to see as my daughters face was glowing with joy. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgundy Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Belfast - enjoyed it but felt it ended rather quickly. The Requin - Wow, just wow. Not a good wow. The special effects were a highlight. Not a good highlight. I stuck with it for longer than I should just to see how bad this could actually get. Avoid. Both on IPTV.

Carl Fredrickson Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Moonfall @ the Odeon. The latest disaster blockbuster. This one is so bad it is good. Terribly bad. Loads of storylines, awful lines, outrageous storyline, more plot holes than any film I can think of but I couldnt look away from the screen. It should be a 4 or a 5 out of 10 but for it being totally mental, I will give it a 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
