Nice visually 7/10 Just watched that today, and was surprised to see Portobello Beach get a mention! In the scene at the party where the younger version of Clooney's character Augustine meets Jean, she asks him if he's ever been to "Portobello Beach near Edinburgh", and describes it as "beautiful" and a "tourist attraction" that he has to visit it if he can Edited December 24, 2020 by PortyJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC01 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Just finished an entertaining rerun of the back to the future trilogy. 9/10 I understood where they went at the end. Though the doc' didn't say where, you get a hint of where earlier in the third one. Never really understood before. Having watched (not read) jules verne movies helped. I think the first movie in the trilogy is Christmasy, only for a moment, you get a date in the delorean car early before marty travels. Apart from that, wasn't a Christmas movie 😁 Enjoyed them 👍 all.

luckyBatistuta Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Fatman...A movie about Santa, very dark though. Don’t watch it if you want a warm fuzzy xmas feeling inside, it’s not for you.

Low budget, no name actors, no special effects but thoroughly enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Fredrickson Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Soul - the latest Pixar feature length film It failed to hold my kids attention (aged 5 & 10) but I loved it.

Do you mean the investigative lawyer types as the folk from the other side? Was a gripping and tense ending though, I watched it earlier this year. I enjoyed it. I always seemed to stay clear of it because of the constant impersonations of Nicholson "you can't handle the truth" line. I always anticipated it as a bore fest. The end is the best bit, but you need the build up of the movie to get there. I'll give it 7/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered if that really was the case at Guantanamo? I get you now. Jack's character seemed forthright enough he could be truthful. Whether it really happened at all is another question. Just part of the adaption of a true story, perhaps. I never went that far myself to find out. Although I thought the people got military support during hurricanes and other disasters. So I would think they wouldn't antagonise them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Brown Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Jack Reacher, have watched the 2nd (Never Go Back) a couple of years back and didn't particularly enjoy (I'd read the book first) This one, I've not read the book and really enjoyed it. Dr Sleep, again enjoyed the book and found the movie utterly dreadful. Pity, as I recently rewatched The Shining in preparation ( great movie of its day).

HMFC01 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Richard Jewell: 9/10 Watched it last month. Thought it deserved a mention. Based on a historic real event, real charachters. I am glad I watched it, I had no idea just how hard the person accused got it. Very emotional, quite a range of emotions for the viewer, I felt for the guy and his family. Another clint eastwood quality movie. Probably not a great choice if you're looking for something cheery and fun. If you like like true movies with real life drama, it's a great wee movie, informative as well for ignorant folk like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd paid money at the cinema for that, I'd have been tempted to press charges for robbery. Oft that was all over the place as a movie. Just seemed like they had no clear direction for the film.

Lovecraft Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Heat - Directors cut on Amazon Prime. Bizarrely, I had never seen it before.
