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.

It is. Not bad, but the book is brilliant.

It’s so unnecessary. An British detective would have been perfect.

The Mrs has got the bug for courtroom films so it was a few good men last night. Excellent. 
 

Any recommendations?

"To kill a mockingbird".  The book's a classic but, trouble is, i can't remember if the film is any good or not.

The judge is decent on Amazon prime with Robert Duval and Downey Junior

also got Billy Bob in it

i think that is where they picked him up for that Goliath series if you like a courtroom drama

Knives out...Daniel Craig in Agatha type whodunnit

For some reason he has a deep south (usa) accent

Next on the list, official secrets is now free on prime

Saw that last week. Not bad.

Couldn't decide if there was a bit of a send up there, but not the best, not the worst.

Best not, it might ruffle a few feathers on here. 

I was just winging it anyway.

For reasons I can't actually fathom I've rewatched The Long Good Friday, Stir Crazy, The Blues Brothers, and Barbarella so far this bank holiday.

Blues Brothers was far worse of a film than I remembered, good bits but never a film.

Had forgotten exactly how incredible Jane Fonda was though in Barbarella, might have to rewatch that again.

I watched sully 

Again

If the representation of the inquiry is anything like accurate, folk want their bollocks booting in

I understand the reasons why but i made it a tradition that i only watch the long good Friday on good Friday

That seems a far more sensible approach.

Two things came from rewatching it, Harold makes an impassioned remainer speech long before remaining was a thing.

"The Mafia? I've shit 'em" is still one of the all time great lines.

I only first saw it 10 years or so ago

Didn't even recognise Charlie from Casualty though did spot Jacko from Brushstrokes

And Pierce Brosnan (in his first film)

Plus that bad guy from raiders of the lost ark and the top dog in lock stock

Helen Mirren obvs and that Scouse black lad from full monty

Basically everyone except Charlie

 

Oh and not saying he's type cast but there is a young Brick top playing a London gangster

Best British gangster film for me

The lead investigator guy was a moody fucker. The blonde alongside him who, mid-hearing nonchalantly declared that the engine they’d previously declared to be ok was, in fact, as fucked as Sully had told them...

It just had to be dramatic license.

and they had tried 17 times in the sim to prove he couldve made the runway

mamma mia 2 last night

What

A

Film

The christening scene, deary me

Iirc, there was some controversy over the film sully, as it didn't reflect reality. Bit like jfk. Not sure by how much, but a pinch of salt required.

Watched the Tottenham thing on amazon last night, 3 episodes. Good stuff.
