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.

Just watching unhinged with Russell Crowe . Missus just said I should be able to relate very closely to his  character 😁

She’s now apologised. This is one fucked up film 

Asked my missus what she'd do without me, without blinking she replied "Drink Less"

Just watched the trial of the Chicago 7 , a decent watch.

 

A couple of older ones I watched a while back that I enjoyed are Whiplash and Mickybo and me 

Chicago 7 very good. Cheers for recommendation.

👍👍

Watched David Attenborough documentary last night. Whilst it isn’t going to turn me into a placard waving vegetarian demonstrator it is absolutely fascinating.

aye, not into happy endings, other favourites include Leon, Seven and Donnie Darko - all nice and dark

Requiem For A Dream - seen it many times before I read the book, hard to say which is better though

(Hubert Selby Jr appears in the film, the prison guard when Tyronne is in the deep south prison)

He’s an absolute wildcard DDL.

Spent the entire time my left shoot was filmed in the wheelchair, off set as well. 
Spent a year learning how to track and hunt animals and build canoes for last of the mohicans

Spent time in jail researching for in the name of the father

Didnt bathe whilst filming The crucible 

Learned to be a boxer and actually had amateur fights for his role in The Boxer

When filming GONY he refused to wear a coat, caught pneumonia and would only want medicine that was available in the times when the film was set.

Stayed in character the whole time he filmed Lincoln and even text people as Abraham Lincoln

Lived away from his family in a shack for a year filming The Ballad of Jack and Rose

The only man to win 3 oscars for best actor.

Then he retired from acting to become a cobbler

Any decent horror films on Netflix recommendations? Just watched the Invitation, was ok. 

Enjoyed Borat, the end scene with the politician has caused a stir

Watched His House, really recommend it.

The big ugly 

1917. Pretty good. 

Watched Manchester By The Sea last night. Brilliant.

The Hateful Eight is incredibly underrated especially in QT’s repertoire. Superb

An Inspector Calls. Nipper's idea, GSCE English lit this year. 

Was bleeding fantastic. 

Calm with Horses on Netflix, really good Irish film 8/10.

Just watched The Rise and Fall of a White Collar Football Hooligan 2. Hadn’t seen  the first but I’m guessing you don’t really need to.

The very few minutes of football holiganism were shockingly badly acted. 
 

Lads plucked off the streets with the promise of £50 or so for looking hard as nails for a few minutes. 

Fanny Lye, Delivyr'd.

Fucking strange. But in a good way

 

Stag do on Saturday. Besides other entertainment, they screened 'Bikini Jones and the Temple of Eros'. I was surprised to find it was streaming through normal channels and not from a porn site. If you like 'normous norks, you will enjoy.

Watching 'My Octopus Teacher' tonight. Rave reviews from my son and a work colleague. Will give it a score out of 10 tomorrow.

Le Mans 66.  
 

solid 7/10. Watched on Sky Premier. 
 

Do not have to be a petrol head. 
 

Also watched Blinded By The Light. About an Asian lad growing up listening to Springsteen. Really enjoyed that as a 8/10. 
 

Neither or new films just lockdown films ! 

The HUNT is worth watching

Springsteen one is a cracker

Accents seemed iffy, though
