£3 a film on Saturday at all cinemas so we’re seeing Top Gun, Elvis and Nope all on the same day

Really liked Top Gun and Elvis not so keen on Nope

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Kenneth Branagh's masterful Belfast again last night on DVD.Had a few differences of opinion about this with people here and in Northern Ireland.IMO,you need to view it as a nostalgic personal memoir of the first year of the troubles rather than some sort of historical record.Wonderful Van Morrison soundtrack.

Another vote for Elvis.Haven't seen the others.

The Falklands play. On Prime and 20 years old. Assumed it would be nonsense but it’s outstanding. Who really knows what happened amongst the politicians but the women who played Maggie was brilliant.

Revisited The Dig again with Ralph Fiennes following our visit to Sutton Hoo. Great performances and a typically British film.

It is a very pleasant watch, very well filmed and has gravitas. Sad stories for the central characters in much of their lives.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Took the two eldest grandsons to see Bullet Train. Quality hokum.

The English Game (Netflix). Thought I'd watch it again, I first watched it a few years ago.... It's well worth a watch if you've never seen it.

Saw Good luck,Leo Grande earlier.Good film.Always liked Emma Thompson.

 

[Napster]

Top Gun Maverick was superb
Elvis was OK
Nope was decent

 

[BALDY]

I saw Paul Newman in "The Hustler" a fantastic film.

 

[united we stand]

I came by- Hugh boniville Netflix
Decent thriller. A little bit painting by numbers but worth a watch.
7/10

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Nope was watchable. A new take on a UFO. Slow for 30 minutes, but hang on, it does get better.

 

[united we stand]

Escape from Pretoria (Amazon)
Real life story of a jailbreak by three white political prisoners from South African prison during apartheid.
Something am sad to say I knew nothing about.
Unbelievable story, may be do some googling and apparently in principle it’s correct, normal issues of timelines to get 18 months into 90 min film.
The end of the a apparently totally accurate and the file used was the actual file( by a spoiler)
7/10 maybe 7.5-
My wife watched it all the way through which is a good sign

Didn't you have a childhood?

Interesting Godard double bill on France's Arte FV channel last night (Thank God-as an atheist -for French subtitles).Neither of which I'd seen before -Le Mepris (Contempt) and Prenom Carmen.Found the first rather prententious (though I enjoyed watching Jackie Palanace and the immortal Fritz Lang doing their thing.Has to be said that BB had a rather nice cul too. Quite liked PC -a typical 1980 JLG fim but not a patch on his early stuff,JMO:

Event Horizon. 9/10. Superb 90s sci-fi horror.

I have seen it once and that was more than enough.
