I watched Edge of Tomorrow last night, good imo, fair plot, lots of holes in it but very well filmed.
Sci fi seems all about time travel loops at present.

Just finished West Side Story (yet again) on Beeb2. No matter how many times I see this film I never tire of it. Absolutely brilliant film.

Alice Cooper used one of the songs on his Schools Out album .

Dunkirk (2017)

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Summer of Soul earlier.This is a wonderful film for anyone who likes/remembers black music circa 1969.Some of the concert footage is superb.

 

[Supershrimper]

The Red Sea Diving Resort on Netflix. Has Chris Evans (Played Captain America not the ginger haired radio guy) Was a pretty good watch

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoyed Judas and the Black Messiah last night.It's an excellent political thriler about the assination of the Black Panther's Fred Hampton by the FBI in 1969.

The Revenant, long, generally grim and nothing much to like about any of the characters….

Yes, not very pleasant, the initial ambush of the boat scene is well filmed, Saving Private Ryan style but from then on it just grinds along.
Possibly DiCaprio's best acting to date? And I understand he didn't use body doubles for many of the stunts.

 

[kaymac]

Quite probably, he certainly lived the part during filming and believe he found it a very demanding role to play.. Saw it at the cinema but wouldn’t watch again.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Nomadland again yesterday.Wonderful fim.Still a bit mystified as to why they changed the ending from the boo.Cheaper I suppose.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Parts 3/4 of Lonesome Dove yesterday.Absolutely wonderful.old style, epic western.Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones were outstanding.Many thanks to MG for the heads up on this.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Ice Road, Liam Neeson. First 20 minutes or so setting up the story, so bear with it, then it all happens. Very enjoyable.

It is, imo, very very good. DUVALL is immense.

recently watched Tommy Lee Jones in 'the missing' 2003 Western - he's such a good actor.
Dulvall is excellent in 'Open Range' - love a good western - I feel a John Wayne film coming on

Hadn’t heard of that, just watched the trailer and will now seek it out- ?

I saw it on DVD (which I'll be lending to our younger daughter and her partner).IIRC it only got a 2 week run at the cinema earlier this year in Barna.It's a seriously good film in its own right and quite deservedly won an oscar for the lead actor.

Solomon Kane. Good fun
