Tazio Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Violent Night. Not as good as I thought it would be given some revues I’ve seen but an enjoyable enough romp about Santa smashing baddies to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Amsterdam on Prime TV. Got panned by most critics and only made 10% of its budget. But pretty remarkable performances by Christian Bale and Margot Robbie. It is based on a Trump influenced true story of rich businessmen trying to mount a coup against Roosevelt in alignment with Hitler and Mussolini. The story is patchy and falls apart at times. But if you like Bale and Robbie, it's worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Chicken Run - Dawn of the Nugget Younger kids will love it. Lots of throw backs to the first film and I must admit I laughed at a couple of the puns. It is listed as being 1h 42m long but the time flew by due to the many puns in it. My daughter wanted chicken nuggets for her tea after watching it yesterday.... 7/10 if you have young kids. 3/10 if you are an adult with an adult sense of humour.

JudyJudyJudy Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 " Wonka". We went to see this today at the Dominion. It was very enjoyable. Very funny and great performances from an all star cast. All hamming it up. In particular Hugh Grant who almost steals the film playing an OOmpa Loompa. Hes hysterical. I say almost because Timothee Chalamet really is outstanding. Such a good actor and no bad singer. I really felt he was linked to Gene Wilder in the original film. Loads of hummable songs which carry to narrative along and brilliant effects and loads of chocolate. Lovely moral story to it too. 8/10 from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 “ The holdovers “ A cranky history teacher at a remote prep school is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a troubled student who has no place to go. Nobody likes teacher Paul Hunham (Giamatti) -- not his students, not his fellow faculty, not the headmaster, who all find his pomposity and rigidity exasperating. With no family and nowhere to go over Christmas holiday in 1970, Paul remains at school to supervise students unable to journey home. After a few days, only one student holdover remains -- a trouble-making 15-year-old named Angus, a good student whose bad behavior always threatens to get him expelled. Joining Paul and Angus is head cook Mary (Randolph)-an African American woman who caters to sons of privilege and whose own son was recently lost in Vietnam. These three very different shipwrecked people form an unlikely Christmas family sharing comic misadventures during two very snowy weeks in New England. The real journey is how they help one another understand that they are not beholden to their past-they can choose their own futures. (. From IMDB) This was an excellent film . Great performances from the cast and certainly award winning , very moving as well as acidly funny . A great soundtrack too. Well worth a watch at Xmas time .
