Good to see Tom Hanks in a role where you don't have any empathy for him as well,

I felt that way about Big.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

its certainly not a feel good film. I totally understand why it’s not recommended, as “the man in the street “ may think that some of the main themes happened ( German children being 100% unaware of any anti Jewish behaviour, let alone concentration camps and wider implications that the average German had no idea at all on what was going on).

But if you know the subject material, which clearly you do then you can watch it as a “fictional “story and enjoy it.

While I accept it's not a feelgood film as such,having seen the trailer, it's certainly not a film I'm interested in seeing.

I felt that way about Big.

My wife used to show it to her students at the French Lycee.After several viewings I got to quite like it.

I watched the Empire Strikes Back dubbed in French as part of my GCSE.

I rather doubt it would have been a rewarding experience in either English or French.

I watched Scream 6 I enjoyed it.The format is always the same but was very watchable non the less. 65 I found that boring and wouldn't reccomend

Have noticed that Soldier Blue on chanell 41 . First saw it down the Classic Westcliff in 72 , I was 17 and my future wife was 14 . If I remember rightly it had only just been let into Southend after being banned everywhere . I know it was X rated but nothing prepared us for the end . I still find it very hard to watch it again .

I saw that aged about 14 or so. A very disturbing watch. Once was enough.

I always liked Westerns with an edge from being a teenager. But Soldier Blue and A Man Called Horse, had scenes in that even shocked me, and were disturbing to say the least. And that word Electrifying on the poster, should be changed to horrendous. And yes, he is being hung up by his man boobs.

Official secrets
Very very good.
I still can’t believe that Blair has never been prosecuted.makes Borris’s lying look reasonable

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Silver screen this week was I wanna dance with somebody. A Whitney Houston biopic. Very sad but a little airbrushed I think. Wasn't Bobby Brown a complete and utter ****. Acting very good. Her father was in The Wire Clarke Peters and the singing was brilliant if you like that sort of thing. Okayish but not a waste of time.

Where the Crawdads sing,
On Sky, an entertaining watch, bit of a slow burner with a twist at the end.
Had very much the feel of "kill a mockingbird ". 7.5/10
