Lots of atmosphere.
Yes, also being made in black and white adds to the atmospheric of the film.

Because it’s Sunday and I can.
...Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool. True story of a famous Hollywood star who spent some of her last days in Liverpool. Nostalgic and fascinating if you come from the City but perhaps not if you don’t.

Everton get a good mention
Although 45p a pint 1979/80
I had my first pint then and I'm sure it was 30p
And although jobs and money was tight scoucers dressed smart .
And Stephen grahams perm was a few years outdated.
Picky
Of course I am

A very silly film which, nevertheless, is worth a watch if you want something you don't have to try too hard with. A framed cop is released from prison to find that he still enjoys the attentions of the authorities and attractive women. He suffers beatings and wounds from flying glass shards from which he recovers quickly. That little graze on his forehead lasts for the whole movie. Lots of people get shot...

Bohemian Rapsody
Superb. Not ashamed to say I had a tear in my eyes a few times throughout. I love getting an insight in to genius, and to that end it was immensely satisfying.
The film could’ve been more hard-hitting re: Freddie’s personal life, but I’m glad it wasn’t because it would’ve overshadowed the biopic of Queen, as was intended.
Really demonstrates how creatively-redundant the modern music industry is, and by contrast, how more creative freedom back in the day resulted in absolutely brilliant, era-defining culture.
Also must mention the recreation of Live Aid/Wembley - truly fantastic.
Highly recommended.

Having watched Outlaw King (Netflix) recently, got into a discussion with my son last night re most historically inaccurate films:
My nominees:
- Braveheart (one critic pointed out that the Battle of Stirling Bridge could have used a bridge in the movie)
- U-571 (could America steal a British achievement more blatantly?)
- Pocahontas (she was 10 when they met)
His thoughts:
- 300 (rounded down from 7,000)
- Pearl Harbor - (what a piece of dung)
Thoughts? Other nominees? Honorable mentions?

Given that some of the lads involved were probably still alive, this has to be the most insulting re-write of history. I mean they are movies so I'm not all that fussed personally but that one was a bit much

My daughter and I last night watched The Guilt Trip (starring Seth Rogan and Barbara Steisand)...we both enjoyed it
