Watched Best of Enemies. Based on the real life stort of Ann Atwater and CP Ellis, a black woman and a ku klux klan member during the 70s in America. Was excellent I thought, great performances from Taraji Henson and Sam Rockwell

It’s a film that turns out to be much better than you think it’s going to be.
Sam Rockwell is a great actor.
Jackie Brown is defo the most underrated Tarantino film. Love it.Had a bit of a Tarantino-fest during the international break.
The Hateful Eight and finally caught up on Jackie Brown.
The former was overblown, self indulgent but well written and entertaining enough, 45 minutes too long though. The latter was tremendous, absolute sin that it took me so long to watch it.
Also, for all of you catching Seaspiracy or anything related to fishing, massive book recommendation for you: Mark Kurlansky - Cod, the biography of the fish that changed the world. I can't speak highly enough of this book, it's genuinely one of the most interesting things I've ever read and I go back to it at least once every 18 months.
This. When I watched Homeland, Always found it unbelievable that anyone would be unfaithful to her.View attachment 123133
Surprisingly, very good. Dials down the spectacle and goes for a more intimate, character driven apocalyptic drama and that helps you forgive some of the 'hang on a minute' moments. Well, apart from having you believe that Shurrup Buttwad's marriage is on the rocks 'cos he cheated on Morena Baccarin. There is no universe in which that happens.
On Prime.
Tombstone with Kurt Russell & co, thoroughly enjoyed esp the scene where they appear to be leaving town, only Wyatt isn’t on the train.
Might rewatch Unforgiven next, prob my fav western of them all.
Unforgiven seems to get forgotten about when people talk about the best Westerns.
It`s close on being the perfect Western.
Tombstone is one of my fave films of all time. Love the scenes with Doc H & Johnny Ringo.
This. Its certainly right up there with my favorite westerns.
Unforgiven is one of my favourite films ever.
Wow.
Two I watched recently,1st one is "The boy" on Netflix,theres two films with this title, the one I watched was the one with a picture of a burning building,the boy in the title is a budding serial killer and this is about his early life
Its an odd one,very mundane and slow paced but fasinatining to watch the build up to the end,wont be to everybodies taste but worth a watch if you dont need cars and guns to get your thrills
The 2nd one was Empire,losely based around a real life robbery in NY,it stars the Rock so you know what kind of film its going to be,the part I remember most is as the credits rolled,the Rock actually has a personal hairdresser on set,what a cushy job that is
I hadnt seen the reviews, just lashed it on and really enjoyed it,its more of a thinking film than a popcorn oneI’ve got The Boy saved, good reviews.
Watched a half decent one last night - Lost Girls.Two I watched recently,1st one is "The boy" on Netflix,theres two films with this title, the one I watched was the one with a picture of a burning building,the boy in the title is a budding serial killer and this is about his early life

For me, Unforgiven is overrated.
Tombstone my favourite ever western![]()
Not seen Unforgiven for donkeys so I'll have to get round to it as I can't really remember much. Tombstone is ace.Tombstone is great. Westerns are one of my favorite genres. I LOVE older films like Once Upon A Time In The West, The Ox Bow Incident, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Winchester 73. Unforgiven (as much as I love it) is only my third favorite Clint Eastwood western - For A Few Dollars More and Plate Rider top it.
And yes - I love Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight, more modern and a completely different style, but still fabulous!
Right - off to play Red Dead Redemption II now!
