Last Film You Watched

That looks great/grim. Will watch. Reminds me of Still Alice with Julianne Moore, she is absolutely unreal in it. I worked for many years in a dementia care ward and it was uncanny how much she nailed the portrayal of it

I reckon you`ll think the same about Hopkins performance in this.

I’m not usually into feel good films, but I really enjoyed this - Champions. ( on Netflix )

Woody Harrelson plays a disgraced pro basketball coach who gets caught drink driving and is sentenced to 90 days community service, coaching a basketball ball team, made up of young adults with learning difficulties.

Harrelson is wonderful in his role, as are the actors who make up the basket ball team.

You can see the end coming a mile off, but that doesn’t matter as it’s such a heart warming film and really funny too.

A really good film to watch if you’re on a bit of a downer, as it’ll cheer you right up.

Peanut butter falcon is also very good if you get the pertinent link to this.

Watched "Elevation" last night. Fairly hum-drum sci-fi post-apocalyptic number with a faintly interesting idea about humanity being restricted to living above 8000 feet ("The line") and the mysterious unstoppable monsters that lurk below. It wasn't great...passable I guess.

In other news, Bond franchise is now owned by Amazon. I liked Connery and Moore, anyone after that.....nah.

The format has gone really stale and repetitive - maybe Amazon can do something new and interesting with it. A "Q" branch movie techno-thriller with loads of cool gadgets and weapons would be cool. Or one about "M" in his younger days as an agent who did just as much killing and goosing as Bond....

Anthony Mackie seems to have found him type cast in this type of film.

He`s a better actor than the films he usually finds himself cast in and possibly as he gets a bit older, he may get some decent film roles.

Yeah.... he deserves better material. He was boss in "8 mile".

Dreadful actor

I think he’s better than the roles he gets given.

Watched it aswell. Post apocalyptic sci fi by the numbers. Very earnest, every character was the same dour archetype

I have to say, I agree with Bryan. I think he's very poor. His looks seem to have carried him far beyond his acting talent

Someone in Amazon will be suggesting it’s time for an older, shorter, balder Bond.

Is that Michael Barrymore? Thought he was doing the panto circuit these days?

Just got back from Bridget Jones 4 with mum. Absolutely loved it. Wasn’t emotionally prepared at all though.

Also saw a trailer for The Salt Path that looks bloody brill
