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.

Still pleading their innocence, although probably deserve doing time due to them being gangster cunts and causing a load of misery.

Steele was an importer of drugs  so yes got a away with a lot even if he wasn’t involved in the killings . the other guy whomes was a mate of is a mechanic and down for being the shooter definitely not a gangster type . He is actually working in Ipswich somewhere on day release now so looks like to be released shortly 

the evidence is pretty flimsy on both no dna or witnesses both had alibis and phone records to say they weren’t there just a grass With a criminal record who possible was the killer says he dropped them both off at the scene and picked them up after the killings . 
the police definitely wanted Steele out of the way so it suited them

Tate was a 6ft 4 18 stone steroid head bully who had been shot once and survived so probably thought he was invisible. Tucker was is mate business partner and also the minder for Nigel benn on is ring walks .

There is a lot to the whole story bloggs19 is the book but is the official story by the grass Darren Nichols but his original story changes that much by the time he gets to court it’s hard to believe.
He is even driving a different car in is original police statement to the one he says he is by the time he gives evidence at the court for the crime scene 🤨

the whole story involves drug dealers bent coppers and even a police sting operation were the police pretend to be the IRA in phone calls to get Steele to confess to the killing by threatening to kill him for money that tucker/ tate owed them .
It’s a good story

The Stone Roses film was shit, as was Dead Mans Shoes. 

Shane Meadows' Stone Roses film was a documentary (iirc imaginatively titled 'Made of Stone') following the band as they reformed/rehearsed for the Heaton Park gigs - it ended with footage of folk clamouring for the free tickets for the Warrington Parr Hall warmup gig, then the actual gig itself. He did a good job (Meadows).

The fictionalised one was the work of Chris Coghill I think, he's the bloke who took over in the role of Anne Marie Duff's character's love interest in 'Shameless' after James McAvoy pissed off to Hollywood (a different love interest, not McAvoy's character).

Think he portrayed a groomer in 'Eastenders'.

He's also in it (Spike Island) as well, one of the twins who played the middle son in 'Shameless' is too.

It's pretty shit, some of the 'period' touches are good though (orange buses etc.) - but anyone Mancunian or who was around Manchester at that time will cringe, dialogue is particularly naff, especially considering Coghill is a proper Mancunian.

Emilia Clarke looks lovely as ever in it.

As an aside I've not seen one single minute of 'Game of Thrones'.

I used to think 'Dead Man's Shoes' was terrible but it's grown on me.

You used to be right 😉

And yes, I think I was mixing the SR film up with the terrible Spike Island.

Starts with the history of them, debut album, record label issues, the underrated second album, split then the reunion gig, Ian Brown calls our Reni a cunt then the Heston Park gig which was one of the best gigs I’ve been to.

Cracking film that. (It’s the if it’s the one about Paul Ferris)

my mil works with someone who is married  to his nephew. He’s a well known Ex world champ boxer. She still lives in the family house but they are separated. She tells the story he won’t let her leave. He’s got another bird who he goes to her house to see her. But she is expected to stay and look after the kids until they’re all past 16 etc. she’s asked what will happen if she leaves  

shes been told to try and it and see 

rumour is she did and went to stay in a hotel. Only  took a few hours for him to turn up at her door with a key and let himself in and take her home

Oh i don’t need a book for that. Mani sold a vintage lambretta in pristine condition to watch that shower in the champions league. The model is going for about £30k now. 
Thick twat

Currently watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang that was on earlier today

Dont mind admitting how much I love this film. It’s my childhood 

Took my mum and the MiL to see the performance at The Lowry a couple of years ago with Jason Manford. It was very good. But nowt beats the film

Sadly I know the words to every song 😀

The Trial of The Chicago 7. 
 

Wow what a story, what a film

Bee Gees documentary 

Always had a soft spot for them in a guilty pleasure type way

Some journey though, fair play to them 

Never knew there was a 4th one doing his own big thing

We’ve talked about it before but their earlier non disco stuff is exceptional. 
 

Dunno if it’s the same one, but i watched a feature length Bee Gees documentary on Sky the other week. Started from the very beginning of their careers as kids, right through the height of their fame and ultimately to the deaths of 3 of the brothers - Maurice, Robin and younger brother Andy who tragically  died at 30 years old. I was transfixed from start to finish, fucking brilliant it was and i wouldn’t particularly class myself as a Bee Gee’s “fan”

Aye, that's the one 

Basically, the rise, fall, rise again, fall again and another rise via song writing for others before rising as a band again 

They're about as close to genius as you can get in terms of artists 

Particularly enjoyed this interview in it

Where do I find this? Looked on Netflix Amazon Prime but can’t see it. If it’s Sky Movies I’m screwed.
