If you haven’t seen this classic, watch it or set it to record. Its a beauty. I thought " Aliens" was better. Just marginally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what she said... 7/10 Just watched it purely from your post and as an avid golfer. The obvious greatest golf film is of course Happy Gilmour. This is a little beauty though and based on a true story. It’s charming, beautifully acted, funny, sad and very very British. Cried my eyes out at points. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never has a sequel been so different from the original. Like comparing cheese and Iphones. Both brilliant but different genres with the same bit in the middle. Aliens!

rudi must stay Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Nativity Lovely film and the chap in the Office is superb. Very low key understated character that tests him as an actor and he passes that test with flying colours. Im going to give it 10 as it really cheered me up, it has a script that adults can tap into as well so I would urge anyone that's not seen it to give it a shot 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the kids in it hadnt done any acting before and most of their scenes were very loosely scripted with lots of improvisation. We were at Thomas Land at Drayton Manor theme park a few years back when they were filming one of the later ones. It was the one with Martin Clunes and my son was chuffed that he got to see and talk to Mr Poppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just kicked the can down the road and he went from hospital to hospital. Highly recommend both the film and the docu.

Cade Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 All Quiet On The Western Front (2022, German with english subtitles) A modern adaptation of the famous anti-war novel published in 1929. Bloody, gruesome, shocking, bleak and claustrophobic. 9/10. Also watched Tár (2022) Cate Blanchett stars as a world-famous orchestra conductor having to deal with the consequences of her controlling and abusive behaviour over many years. A great psychological drama, touching on "Me Too", cancel culture and how those in power can exploit that power in nasty ways. A very slow burner but well worth the time invested. 9/10.

Pans Jambo Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 The Wonder. Netflix. late 1800’s (or very early 1900’s I couldnt tell). A child in Rural Ireland is claimed to have not eaten for months with no ill effect to her health. Locals think its a miracle or a “wonder” so they invite an English nurse played by Florence Pugh to watch the girl to make sure its true. Pugh is good, rest of the film is as dull as dishwater. 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite brutal from the offset. Christian Bale plays a US army captain weeks away from retirement. His commanding officer orders him to complete one more task before retirement which is to escort an Indian chief and his family, who have been imprisoned for a number of years to a reservation, the chief has been diagnosed with cancer and not long left to live so he’s been granted his freedom. However, the chief and the captain have history……the journey is quite brutal with many twists…………it’s a worthwhile watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Lost Highway (1997). David Lynch directs Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette in a slice of neo noir. As it's David Lynch, the film makes absolutely no sense and is an incomprehensible vignette of images and sounds. But Patricia Arquette looks utterly amazing and gets her kit off all the time, so it's not all bad. 6.5/10 Edited December 13, 2022 by Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
