Films you've watched recently.

[CaptainSmudger]

She must be pushing 70 now .

It was her first and last film. As Baldy says, she went missing never to be seen again.. Reportedly now Deceased, I still Dream about her ???????

Debbie Does Dallas 10/10

That did the rounds at work back in the day. A very well used VHS video that that more scratches on the tape than soundtrack. Probably down to the dodgy Fish and Chip shop that the original owner obtained it from. Had to be watched though otherwise you were not in the know.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

I know I’m not cool or indeed trendy but I personally thought that Belfast was gash but each to their own.

Too touchy feely for you Tony? Or forgotten about the troubles (1968-1998) already?

Baldy :-I have seen it twice and I simply loved it....

Indeed.Incidentally I saw it with my wife who loved it too apart from the occasional scenes of violence.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Baby Driver 8/10 - didn’t really enjoy the last act but interesting enough

I thought Jon Hamm was really miscast.

 

[Napster]

I thought Jon Hamm was really miscast.

Yeah. always good to see Toby Jones though.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Liquorice Pizza earlier with cameo roles from Sean Penn and Tom Waites.Thoroughly enjoyable with a great soundtrack.Nostagia (in this case for 1973) works for me.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Jane Campion's excellent The Power Of The Dog yesterday.A thought provoking and minalmist Western staring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keith Carradine in a cameo role.

 

[Dutch Branch]

The Gentleman ???

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

@Tangled up in Blue, yours is about the first, and only good report I have read on "Dog" film, most seem to give up after 30 minutes or can't get past some awful accents.

 

[BALDY]

I saw "Parallel Mothers" an excellent film.
Penelope Cruz stars (run that cold shower!)

Brokeback Mountain it's not (much more subtle than that and will probably lose out at the Oscars accordingly).I liked Jane Campion's first film The Piano (with Harvey Keitel).Don't think I've seen anything else she's done.She makes what used to be called art house pictures -so probably not everyone's cup of tea.Didn't notice a problem with the accents.

Yeah she is rather good looking ,isn't she? (but sadly happily married -to Javiar Bardem-saw both of them at the (3hour + Goyas ceremony on Sat.nite-had to turn over for an hour for MOTD much to the wife's disgust).

The Courier (Amazon) with Benedict Cumberbatch.... Great film...

 

[lreed567]

Watches the hitman's wife bodyguard on prime, nowhere near as good as the 1st but worth a watch if want to kill some time

She sat on a table next to me New York many moons ago and I can tell you was top draw. Exactly, what it says on the tin

Talking about accents heard from a friend that someone we both know had a problem with the accents in Belfast.I certainly didn't nor did my wife.

Saw Kenneth Branagan's remake of Death On the Nile yesterday.Enjoyable.

The Duke.I really liked it.Great performances from Helen Mirren and particularly Jim Broadbent who was hilarious

Got a good review from Mark Kermode in the Observer/Guardian.Definitely on my to see list when it gets a release in Barna.Saw Broadbent and HM talking about it on the box the other day.Looks fun.

Rise of the foot soldier “Marbella” Netflix. Southend gets a mention.
