It might be on catch up ? It was so good . The tennis scenes were terrific , so realistic . The acting was superb too . It was great to see the contrast of the two players . Borg , cold , calm and methodical ,Mc completely the opposite . Reminds me of the contrast between Evert and Navratilova. Evert , the “ all American sweetheart “ , Pretty , Unemotional and ice and from a Capitlist country whereas Martina was well butch , not that pretty , wore her heart on her sleeve on court and initially from a communist country . Borg decided to quit as he didn’t feel he could appear on a court and lose . Winning meant every thing to him . Both players became good friends after their brief but historic rivalry similar to Martina and Chris . An exceptional film which really explores the motivation of sport and psychology of players . 9/10 from me Watched it last night on iPlayer. Loved it.

Ray Gin Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Yesterday (iPlayer) 6/10 It was alright. Probably better if you're actually a fan of The Beatles, which I'm not. Tempted to knock a point off for Ed Sheeran's appearances, but I'll be kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geomac Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 On 04/07/2021 at 23:15, Tazio said: The Dead Don’t Die on Netflix. Very quirky art house sort of zombie film set in small town America. Directed by Jim Jarmusch so you know it isn’t going to be standard kind of fare. Quite interesting if you like an odd film but as a whole doesn’t really come together. Great cast though with Bill Murray and Adam Driver as the main characters. I’d give it a 5/10. Quirky isn't the word I'd use, amazing that such a good cast got roped in to this! Don't know why I watched it to the end, it just got worse 2/10 Tilda Swinton's bizarre performance doubled the score😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see this tonight at the Odeon and on the big screen it was tremendous. Lots of action and fights with a decent enough storyline.

HMFC01 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Message Man (2018). 8/10. Sky movies. I had it on hdd since January. I thought it was going to be shit. Glad I watched it. If you liked John Wick you might enjoy this. Personally I thought it was ****ing brilliant. Possibly better than John Wick. Not a famous actor but didn't do himself harm in his career with this one. It's abit dull from the start but the dust gets blown away later on. Enjoy 👍 Warning: it's not for kids under 18. It's not for the easily disturbed with violent scenes and story line either.

Gene Wilder was such a lovely warm empathetic actor . It’s my favourite film from childhood . That and WIzard of Oz . The cameo often plays old classics . I’ve seem “ whatever happened to baby Jane ? On the big screen as well as “ it’s a wonderful life “ there and at Xmas time . It really made my Xmas time that year . I’ve never seen “ toy story “ ! But heard its good / great . Actually me and my adult female pal saw “ Paddington 2” at the pics and was superb , Hugh Grant was hysterical as the villain . Not seeing Toy Story is impressive.

JudyJudyJudy Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Im always amazed at the scoring on this for films . You know when people score a film out of 10 ? Surely if a filM is a 10 it’s a masterpiece ? I’m quite stingey with my scoring 😂 so it’s very rare I have given a 10 . However some 10 scores on this are laughable really but it’s I guess it’s one own taste . Just an observation from me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those marvel ones are horrendously long . I recently rewatched the great “ Narrow margin “ ( 1990) which is tight , taunt and face paced and it’s 97 minutes long .
