[Tangled up in Blue]

Suffragette.

Interesting film .

Pity it wasn't made 20 or so years ago.Vanessa Redgrave would have been much better than Meryl Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Alistair Sim in Christmas Carol - never bettered.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

45 Years.Tom Courtenay and Charlotte Rampling at the top of their game.

Nice to see some Norfolk (ie non-London) scenes in a British film.

The Martian - it's ok, obvious how it's all going to pan out. The humour saves it from being a bit dull. 7/10

 

[Mad Cyril]

American Sniper.

8/10

How very sad, just watching The Dambusters, and they've had to give an apology for "offensive language". :sad:

I assume you're talking about the name of the dog, which in the modern day it is clearly offensive.

When I was young every black dog had the same name .

The film's not set in the modern day though, it wasn't just the name of the dog, but also the code name for when the dams were breached.

I'm pleased no one's worried about drowning three thousand German civilians...just the name of a dog

sure, but they want to play the film before the watershed, and so they need to provide a heads up.

I guess, as someone said to me earlier though, the word for "black" in Spanish is "negra"!

I'm not sure what that's got to do with anything.

Just finished Oliver - the musical film version. Must have watched bits of it many times over, but never from start to finish without breaks. Stand out performances from so many, but Ron Moody was absolutely brilliant as Fagin. 9/10

No. Have you been hacked by Barna or something?

This is a brilliant film, Oliver Reed, Shani Wallis, Ron Moody and Jack Wild all give fantastic lead performances, I love it! We did used to make some fantastic films!

Barnes Wallis had a mouth like a toilet and was particularly fond of the C word.

The Danish Girl - Stephen Hawking becomes the first transexual. S'alright, bit of Oscar bait. 7/10

Wind it in Luis.
