The Frenchman Returns Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 News of the World 8/10 There was a novelty value to it that was rather sweet but some parts, gunfight in particular, felt drawn out. Helena Zengel deserves a mention or two, some performance from a 11/12 year old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stars Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling as a couple of Private investigators. I enjoyed it. The female actress that plays Gosling's daughter steals the film. Some very good laughs in it 7.5/10 Yes a good film, Crowe is a really good actor . So commanding on screen . Always reminds me of Brando Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HMFC01 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Hunter Killer 8/10 Watched it twice. With speakers then headphones. Better on headphones. Good action scenes, gripping drama, thrills. Some crap acting. Some scenes I thought could have went a different way. Didn't spoil it though. I expected different but was delighted with some scenes I didn't expect. Some stuff I've not seen before. It wasn't entirely about the submarine but was a good gobetween with what else happens. I think it could be beaten if another submarine movie was made, if it was more about the sub'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madjambo21 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Monster hunter Movie from Paul Anderson (resident evil franchise) that is another popular game made into a movie starring his wife Mila Jovovich. Never heard of the game and wish I never seen this film. The CGI is horrific for a Hollywood movie. Characters are non existent and the film sucks overall. 2/10 really like Mila Jovovich but this is on par with Ultraviolet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rudi must stay Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The Red Sea Diving Resort This one came up on Netflix and I thought sounds interesting. Won't say too much but a number of big names: Ben Kingsley, Chris Evans, Alessandro Nivolo (the guy in goal that's a playboy) put in creditable performances in an intriguing film that kept my attention. 7/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Frenchman Returns Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Songbird 5/10 Don't watch this to be cheered up, its Covid 23 and its much worse than now............... A few people are immune, you get sick and you go to the Q zone, basically a concentration camp. Peter Stormare plays the "bad cop" with an element of the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Demi Moore is also present but not as alluring as her younger self. Available on Amazon Prime Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Frenchman Returns Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I still believe 3/10 OK, need to say I didn't realise this was a Christian movie before I put it on. So it was absolutely not my cup of tea. Its a love story and I thought Mrs F might like it. Talk about depressing, boy meets girl, girl get cancer, lets pray, etc etc Probably should have switched it off. Available on Amazon Prime Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carl Fredrickson Posted Sunday at 12:53 Share Posted Sunday at 12:53 Snakes On A Plane is on Netflix. Watched it last night. Awful acting, scrip is poor and it isnt the best produced.

Muppetboy Posted Sunday at 15:28 Share Posted Sunday at 15:28 Wrong turn(2020) the first one had flaws,but I thought it was decent. This actually starts well and is quite menacing in tone but then it just goes south in a big way. 3/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rosamund Pike is wonderfully callous as she plays a legal guardian and has rightly been nominated for a Golden Globe. An intelligent film that shocks and amuses at the same time. Suberb.

The Frenchman Returns Posted Wednesday at 00:08 Share Posted Wednesday at 00:08 Da 5 Bloods 7/10 OK but very long, 2 1/2 hours. Found parts of it very interesting, black US soldiers in Vietnam war and their return many years later. Liked that they used the same actors flashing back and didn't try to make them younger, easier to follow. However it was way too far fetched and frankly ridiculous in places.

Tazio Posted Wednesday at 01:41 Share Posted Wednesday at 01:41 Pelé on Netflix, pretty much what you title promises, a documentary about the man himself.

Some tense scenes when the panic sets in. 6.5/10 (Amazon Prime) Same score from me. Decent as far as disaster movies go. First half was better. Butler's accent was all over the place at the start. Scottish one sentence. American the next. Then kinda Irish before slipping back to sounding mostly Scottish for the remainder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
