I watched The Road (from 2009).

I had a burning urge to watch the 1977 theatrical print of Star Wars last night, so I did. It really is very good.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

We've spent the lockdown weekends watching the series with the kids. They loved them. We're now bracing ourselves for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour.

Sabotage (on Film4 if I remember correctly). Typical take-your-brain-out blood-fest type Arnie movie. 4/10 at a push, worth a watch only if there's naff-all else on.....

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

CC, let me introduce your to Fargo, The Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Pan's Labyrinth.... Works of art....

Loved Fargo, the film and the TV series. Both Brilliant.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Saw Tony Richardson's wonderful A Taste of Honey again last night.

As you're watching all those gritty working class types we used to watch growing up, try Spring and Port Wine 1970. I'm sure you've seen it. If not, you're in for a treat. Well worth watching again anyway.

Four Kids & It.

Two families come together on holiday and find a sand monster who can grant wishes, It's ok, family friendly. 7/10

I watched Hotel Mumbai recently

 

[GBJ]

Watched a couple of films recently;

- Sonic. It was OK. The comedy moments were fairly laboured, and Jim Carey’s better days are behind him. It’s an easy watch though and kids will enjoy it.

- Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Being a Tarantino fan, I was fairly excited for this film. Who would have thought that a Tarantino film starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, set in the late 60’s and mainly centred around the infamous Manson Family, could be so hit-and-miss.

There’s some great moments & some that just feel like filler for the sake of it. It’s a long film, so be prepared for a drawnout - and at times, tedious - storyline, but the payoff is good.

- Blue Story. Obviously my interest was piqued due to the negative publicity it received. Thought it was ok, but a poundshop version of Kidulthood.

TV wise, I’ve recently finished all 6 seasons of Brooklyn 99. Love that show. Just started Ozark, which is fairly promising.

Cracking film that. Shocking levels of violence, along with tension and suspense that is palpable. I can’t bare to think how frightening that must have been in real life.

And the sheer heroism of the hotel staff.

I watched the 1988 john Carpenter film 'They Live' the lead actor was atrocious but what a great story line.

I like all John carpenter films V ( although this is not one of my favourites), I could never understand why he was never given a bigger budget.
Quick film buff question, what was the biggest error on “assault on precinct 13”( my personal favourite, plus love the music).
