Book of Eli - Denzel Washington - took two attempts to watch it all the way through - a bit of a duff Mad Max type film. Watchable. 4/10

 

Green Zone - Matt Damon - enjoyed it, always like films based out in Middle East, etc. 7/10

 

Planet 51 - was enjoying it til I nodded off, kids liked it - must be good. 6/10

 

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - see above - 6/10

 

Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon/Robin Williams - look, there was fook all else on this Saturday just gone, never seen it before - quite enjoyed - the scene were Robin Williams was going on about his late wife farting in bed had me in tears - half decent. Oh, and Minnie Driver looked far better than I can ever remember. 7/10

 

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its Swedish so no famous actors/actresses - great thriller - didn't bother me that it was in subtitles great revenge scene on the pervy Probation Officer- looking forward to the 2nd in the trilogy in the next week or so - well worth the watch and highly recommended. 9/10

 

That's me, Jonathan Woss, over and out.

Watched My Father last night 

Pretty descent film Anthony Hopkins is excellent in it

Watched Roadrunner about Anthony Bourdain on Netflix. Very good.

Enjoyed that, gets a bit dark in the second half

Watched the Elvis film on Sunday. Bloody loved it. 

Saw this on FaceAche.

I remember going watching Rollerball when our home game against Liverpool had been postponed in about 78/79. It was so futuristic… set in 2018

 

 

Watched the new Predator film Prey, really enjoyed it. Scaled back story from the daft last couple and is better for it. Some pretty brutal kills!

Watched King Richard last night, maybe I wasn't in the mood but didn't really get what all the fuss was about.

Told my missus I won't watch it after the slap. The reality is I just do not fancy it.

Just watched it, wasn’t to impressed. 6/10

George Michael film/doc. Was ok. Talented guy. Died too soon. I did like his “fuck you” attitude to authority and the record industry.

Assuming it's the same one I saw a few years back, it was a good watch, never realized just how talented he was, and got proper bummed, so to speak, by the music industry

Its a new one (2022) - produced by himself (pre-death obviously). I’ve now seen both. Does that make me his biggest fan?

Building Jerusalem. Only watch first 10 minutes so far. I am going to enjoy this one.

Just watched it, not really an Elvis fan but a creditable 8 out of ten from me

Elvis was OK. 6/10 at best.Liked the guy who played him but not enough of the live performances which were the best bits for me. Tom Hanks was shite mumbling about under prosthetics like some manic Malcolm McLaren ' I invented Elvis' etc. Col Parker apparently didn't even speak with an accent like that, so why. He's same in everything now over acts like Meryl bloody Streep. Never explained why he had such a hold over Elvis as he was a complete shithouse to him in the film.

Also not to go all Cheesyfied but the black characters were woefully under explored. What did BB King really think about Elvis nicking his dress style and more over nicking black folks songs to get wealthy?

Won't be rushing back to watch it.

Yeah, King Richard is about the williams sisters Dad.

The King (film) starring Timothee Chalamet is about Henry V who fought at Agincourt, King Richard III fought at Bosworth and can be seen on film either as Oliver's famouse hunchback version (y'know...Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this sun of York....) or McKellen's 1995 version where he plays him as a sort of Nazi.
