Mikey1874 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I thought Munich - The Edge of War (Netflix) was a strange film. It argues that Chamberlain's 1938 signing of a non aggression deal with Hitler helped Britain win the war by allowing time to prepare. But there is no evidence Hitler was planning to attack Britain any earlier that he did. It mixes truth to stories with a mix of fiction and real characters. But if someone determined to stop Hitler had a private meeting with him while holding a gun in his jacket pocket then its stretching things. Not mentioning one even bigger obvious flaw in the story for spoiler reasons relating to the Hossbach Memorandum which to be fair is good to get a wider audience and partly could explain Putin's recent actions and what they are saying on state tv. The best parts of the film are showing the ordinariness of real life in Germany in 1937 and 1938. There's a good film to be made there. And does depict the Munich Conference relatively accurately. Disappointing overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Jurassic World Dominion. Lots of action, loads of dinosaurs, characters from the JP & JW films.

JudyJudyJudy Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 "Amundsen" I was struggling to watch anything the other night even though i have Netflix and Amazon Prime. I came across this on iplayer. Its about the explorer and his attempts to conquer the South pole and North pole . He reached both first. The British explorer Scott was beat to the first to reach the South Pole and the British in their arrogance and hatred of Amundsen maligned his achievement due to jealousy really. The film is really enjoyable and id recommend it. Stunning scenery too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyBatistuta Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Elvis Watched the trailer recently and thought that they could have at least got someone who looked more like him. After going last night to see this at the cinema, I was very impressed. The lad who played Elvis was excellent and the longer the film went on, the more he started to look and move like him to me. It was really well put together for me. They could easily have played out an expected from rags to riches fame story, but chose to highlight more of what went on in the background that most folks probably had no idea about. Thoroughly enjoyable and would definitely recommend. 9/10 oh, almost forgot to say….Tom, or whatever your ####ing name was, if you’re reading this from above…you’re a #### Long Live The King❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely a bit of artistic license in the film but it captures the big moments in elvis life well. For example, the Colonel did want the comeback special to be an hour of Xmas songs. And Steve binder, the producer did tell Elvis his career was in the toilet but that was when he was convincing him to take the special down a different route. And when Parker heard about the change of direction for it, he did absolutely put his foot down and insist on a Xmas song to end the special saying Elvis would not do a message song. Elvis and Binder basically ignored him and pushed on. But the colonel didn't turn up at the shooting of the last song and then have the cameras pan away from the Xmas scene to the iconic Elvis If I Can Dream background. It works beautifully in the movie and while it's not strictly historically accurate, the background was. Lots of little deviations from the complete truth, but it worked really well. And the last 10 minutes were very emotional. Seeing the real footage of the King in concert was amazing. Showed how brilliant and magnetic he was even at the end when he wasn't the great performer he had been. Great movie, really humanised the legand and it was an original take on Elvis' life.

tokyowalnut Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Jurassic World Dominion Entertaining pish. Perfect for Friday night at the cinema. I really enjoyed spotting all the nods to the first 3 JP films. Many plot holes, but it was fine. My main gripe is that the ending of Fallen Kingdom set the 3rd up to be a cracker, but the main action all took part on an island (again)! Also watched ‘Spiral’ on the Netflix this week. Part of the Saw franchise, as expected. Enjoyed it. Massive Elvis fan, can’t wait to watch it in the IMAX tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Jojo Rabbit. This will probably go down as one of my new favourite movies, certainly up there for comedies. Considering the story and themes (a wee laddie in Nazi Germany has an imaginary Hitler as his best friend), it could have turned out to be a totally crass. But it was brilliant done. The way it goes from funny/ludicrous one minute, to sombre/jarring the next, and then back again was really well done. Also, props to the all the kids (Yorki's delivery is ******* hilarious), Taika Waititi (first thing I've seen him in), Sam Rockwell, and the lovely Scarlett Johansson - wonderful acting from all of them. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes “ Judy” had various inaccuracies which annoyed me but I felt Renee got the essence of Judy , her warmth and empathy which was more important . However they didn’t get over how incredible she was on stage . That was disappointing .
