whats the other 3 for me to avoid? 

A clockwork orange is number 2. FMs is number 4.

I have two that are banned from my head. (5)The lassie who plays Sarah Connor is in one. And an other with a memory lose theme, (3)Momento. All dross. 

 

 

I have others that should be in my top 5, but they're just rotten, these are contemptuous.

suure it was not later John

 

Partners: Lou Adler (1972–1974), Rod Stewart (1975–1977)

 

If 1972 you were 10, if 1975 you were 13 and probably done something you shouldn't have when you got home.

Trust me it was Rod and Brit in 72. He had taken her to a Hibs v Celtic game which Celtic won 4-2. I had been at the game with my pal George Reilly from Pirniehall primary School. He recognised Rod, I didnt.

Six weeks later saw their picture in the Sunday Post. I was nine lol. Born April 63.

To be fair to John it could have been any of Rod’s many girlfriends over the years. He definitely has a type.

Oh he likes his blondes. I didnt know who either were at the time. George ran into a newsagents and was saying to the woman behind the counter, I've just spoken with Rod Stewart. I was at the door thinking. Who is Rod Stewart. 

Six weeks later so a picture of them together in the Sunday Post.

Tenuous to the thread but I’m watching a documentary about the history of comic book movies. 
And just discovered that hilariously Dougray Scott was cast as Wolverine in the original X-Men film but had to drop out as he was signed up to another film and couldn’t get out of it. Then they offered it to Russell Crowe but he wasn’t available so suggested his mate Hugh even though he was mainly a stage actor in musicals. And the rest was history. 
Nae luck Dougray. 

Think Dougray was still filming mission impossible 2 with Tom Cruise and couldn't film x men.

 

Missed out on a career changer and saw his team get pumped off the big team 🤣🤣🤣

 

(Did get married to Claire Forlani though 😎)

The Land Of Steady Habits

 

Boring film

 

5/10

[HMFC01]

Blindfire 7/10   Was boring for a bit.   Then it unravels.   Not bad, not great, it's different which gives it a pass.   

 

It's about a us cop who gets into trouble...  I'll leave it there. 

 

The Iron Mask:

 

Started off well with the introduction, a short detailed story of the films purpose.   Was feeling excited at that point, then got disappointing.   Jackie Chan, Arnold Swarzenegger have parts in it.   That kept it appealing but not great either.   Not my kind of film, others might like it. 

 

6/10

 

[Lovecraft]

The Irishman.

 

The length of film at 3 hour 30 mins had put me off this, as I wanted give it a straight run through, but it never felt long to me at all.

 

Great movie and great performances by everyone.

 

8.5/10

 

 

[Jamhammer]

Quite enjoying the Small Axe series of films on BBC. Well, first and 3rd ones. 2nd one was about 50 mins of people dancing. I like a bit heavy dub and toasting but was bored by the end. 

[Greedy Jambo]

Don't watch that new George Clooney film on netflix, it's utter pish. 

Can't even remember the name of it, it's that bad.

I thought the last hour or so was a bit slow - but I still enjoyed it.

Superfly

 

Thoroughly watchable action film on Netflix. Quite nicely visually, just an exciting film

 

7/10

[Roxy Hearts]

For something different I'd recommend Behind the Candlebra. Great performances from Michael Douglas and Matt Damon. Liberace wasn't my thing but fascinating insight into showbiz and what it can do to people.

Sorry. Triple post. Server dropped.

Assassin's Creed

 

It's a better film than given credit for in my opinion. Fassbender and Cotillard are decent, but it does feel a slog watching it and it misses something, what I think it misses is humour to be honest. It's on netflix

 

6/10

Watched Terminator 1 and 2 for the first times yesterday 😂😳

 

Both excellent and Arnie was cool as fk 😎😂 Heard not to bother with the rest though... 

Terminator 2 is one of the greatest films of its time, it has everything, action, humour and emotion

Greenland (cinema HD)

On advice from my oldest son.

My advice, don't bother.

God damn disaster movie, and a very poor one. Gerald Butler in lead role.

My son has been ridiculed in no uncertain terms. 

 

Lost Girls (Netflix)

Earthy, true story drama in New Jersey.

Good watch, but disturbing.

 

 

I'm also still stunned @ri Alban

Slagging off Dead Man's Shoes.

Yeah waited ages for a decent stream to come on cinema hd, then when it did realised it was just a typical Gerard butler movie

[Madjambo21]

New film on Netflix called Beyond the wire starring Anthony Mackie (Falcon in the marvel movies)

 

Absolutely pish. Don't waste your time on it.

Terrible acting from the other lead and the story is crap like a kid wrote it.

 

Be warned it is shit

[Muppetboy]

Promising young woman, 6.5/10. Vengeance thriller that wasn’t up to much until the last 30 minutes, quite enjoyable

The Dark Tower

 

Same as Assassin's creed, missing a bit of humour. But it is what it is and it's better than the reviews give it credit for, it kept my attention certainly

Captain Fantastic

 

A really interesting film. Unique in every sense and I really enjoyed it. It's on netflix

 

8/10

[Tommy Brown]

Green Book (free on Amazon Prime)

Finally got round to this one and so glad I did. Really enjoyed it.

[John Findlay]

Watched an officer and a Gentleman for the first time in years last night.

Have to say I think it has stood the test of time well. 8/10.

[Harry Potter]

The Equalizer 2, 2018, 8/10, great acting by Denzel Washington.

[Weakened Offender]

Butt Boy on Now TV. 

 

Funny as ****.

Watched Tom Hanks new movie News of the World last night.

Big fan of Hanks. 7/10

Just finished series 2 and 3 of cobra kai. They have stepped it up from the first series and I can't wait until the next series

[Disser Pointon]

Jungleland - A slog, 5/10

[rudi must stay]

True History of the Kelly Gang

 

A really interesting piece of work this, every scene bold and creative. And MacKay is quite fantastic. As I plus it is a very good looking film too

 

8/10

BBC added load of great stuff during the first lockdown. They may be doing something similar. I find I am watching more on Iplayer & More4 than on Netflix.
