The "review" was actually an interview with the German star of the film.An excellent actor whose name I can't recall.You shouldn't be prejudiced against the Guardian. It's an excellent paper

Thank The Lord that I read The Times lol.

Having seen the amazing original (and the "made for TV" remake) "All Quiet On The Western Front" (2022) is the finest war film that I have ever seen.

I saw it at The Curzon Bloomsbury (of course films are best seen at the cinema).

No accounting for taste.Can't abide Tory papers myself.

Oh I am sick and tired of politics...I skip those pages!

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Baz Luhrman's Elvis again (on DVD ) last night.Probably the best American film I saw in the summer.It's undeniably flashy but unusually strong on content for a BL film.I'd expect it to generate some Oscar buzz when the nominations come round in December.

Elvis didn't marry an underage cousin or rape anyone (as far as we know) but he did do drugs.As Jack Lemmon (in drag) said at the end of Some Like it Hot "Nobody's perfect".

Your ratings are harsh.

 

[The Original Tribal Chief]

'Guilty' - Jake Gylenhall thriller. Well acted and tense but disappointing ending.

'Woman at the Window' - well acted, nice premise (basically 'Rear Window' with a twist) but unsatisfying. Great cast.

Saw Lewis Milestone's 1930 All Quiet on the Western Front again last night (on DVD).Hadn't seen this since I was a teenager.It remains a wonderful anti-war classic but I couldn't help wondering why it wasn't filmed in German.Still that left the door open for the 1979 TV remake and the recent film remake I suppose.

I see the new one on Netflix and I really liked it brilliant film

 

[Lancashire shrimper]

The Bombardment, Netflix, a Danish film based on the true tragedy of the RAF misadvertantly bombing a Copenhagen girls school instead of a Gestapo headquarters. A gritty Scandanavian noir type film with some clever twists and storylines based on civilians and their families in the run up to the raid and the aftermath. PG rating, but must admit I dropped an F bomb once or twice in appreciation. Rotten tomatoes 100%, imdb 7.3/10, google reviews 4.7/5.

 

[The Original Tribal Chief]

I'm watching 'The Chestnut Man' - another Danish Netflix production. It's a six episode series and I'm on Episode 2 - very good so far.

It's good fun that.

Enola Holmes 2 (Netflix) is worth a watch, good cast and enjoyable.

Your ratings are harsh.

So you wait until I rate a Fellini film!

At The Hackney Picturehouse today "Living" (Bill Nighy)...A super new release!

Top Gun - Maverick. It's taken an age to get round to watching this, but I'm glad I have now. Up there with the original and a fabulous film.
