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.

Very good so far was just very, Will finish the rest tonight

I've started watching The Immortal tonight - thanks for the heads-up Bolty!

Only watched an hour or so just so I can save an hour for tomorrow night. Got to ration, innit.

Anyway, all I'll say is it feels just like a long episode of Gomorrah... and anyone who watched Gomorrah will know that's a good thing.

(I found it on the Cinema HD app where all the links are subtitled.)

Glad you're enjoying it Daz. I have finished it but will be watching the whole thing again tomorrow!

Fucking loved it!

Cheers for the Cinema HD tip. I'll be getting that app.

Watched the drop again last night. Really good film and worth a watch 

Kajaki - true story of British soldiers out in Afghanistan. 100% on rotten tomatoes and keep your ears peeled for the wanderers link towards the end. 
 

*Netflix btw

Just watched Ultra's after seeing a 'related movies' link on The Immortal page. Think someone may have mentioned this on here last year?

Not bad, Hard to reconcile with English firms but some truth from what I've seen in the past.

Crazies.

The gentleman - 9.5/10. Absolutely tremendous and right up my street. 

Weve got top gun on

Kelly McGillis...utter filth

Was just about to post the same

If you like Lock Stock and Snatch then its well worth it

Gave it 8/10 as there were maybe one too many twists, but, Hugh Grant was excellent

One of my all time favourites. I fast forward the kissing to get to the F-14s though.

I thought personally the twists were bang on, suitably funny as well. I don’t re-watch many films but that one will be getting an airing again for sure

if you haven’t seen invisible man give that a watch very good

I watched the first half this afternoon

Then started it again so the mrs could watch it, she found it hilarious

Was just what we needed, after watching little else but the news in weeks

Coffee and Kareem on Netflix. Daft, but very funny imo. The kind of film my dad would've loved

Yep I’ve been trying to give it a miss last few days and is helped massively. Becoming an obsession for many folk.

bit of humour always helps 

I don’t think Denzel Washington has done a film below 7/10

Training Day though has to be close to 10

It's a spin off of Gomorrah isn't it? Look forward to that. Did you watch Fauda on Netflix? Sort of Mossad/Hamas thing  filmed partially in Nablus. Good story although a lot of the characters get blown  up, tortured and/or shot. Struggling to find decent films ATM so these suggestions appreciated.

With the kids being 7, 10 and 13 it’s always hard to find something we all agree on as a family to watch in the evening during lockdown. Last night we had Hotel Transylvania 2 for the little one - which is great still - and then we watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower which the older two loved. Deals with some pretty big stuff but I really enjoyed it - certainly recommend for those with teenagers. Going to try them on the Way Way Back tonight.

However, today is Festival Day - Camp Bestival are doing an online festival so we’ve put a tent up in the living room, gas stove and BBQ outside for today’s cooking, kids are wearing my old band tshirts, set up a donut stand...it’ll probably take about 30 minutes before they’re all bored.

Very good, but "Get Carter" , despite its age, still wins it for me.

Marginally 2nd best 🙂, but Ben Kingsley's " Don Logan " is one of cinema's best ever characters.
