I'm struggling with that one, especially as they keep dropping into French subtitles and i'm watching/sorta while working too.

Yea, subtitles don't work if you can't give it full attention. I found the same watching The Bridge. It's worth it though, I found it very gripping as it was based in true events.

Just finished Behind Her Eyes, whilst not really my sort of thing but well done and I never saw the twist coming, despite multiple clues!

Just started Your Honor, looking really good...

Just watched The Mule with Clint Eastwood the other day.
I reckon I could do a season of his movies, easy.

Finally watched Blade Runner 2049 last week, mostly cause it popped up on Amazon for free.

If you don't like the first one you probably won't like this either.

I liked it though, I could probably watch it just for the cinematography and soundtrack.

Seen it, he starts off as a right cantankerous old knacker in that one.
Brilliant film.
He's directed quite a few slightly subversive movies in his time as well, Flags Of Our Fathers springs to mind.
He's a director that I look out for.

Really? I've never seen such a roll out of cliched sayings, grunts and looks! It was one of those films where I kept thinking, turn off now, but i watched thinking he's Clint Eastwood, it must go somewhere, but it didn't (for me). I ended up annoyed at myself for watching it to the end and feeling embarrassed for him for making it! I guess those vigilante/hero ex vet films just ain't my thing!

I avoid any films with him involved.

Escape from Pretoria. Made my nerves bad!

Papillon, the new one.
First thing first, I love the original film with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hofman. Its a long film but fills the time well and when I first heard there was a new version I scoffed at the idea.
What the hell could they do to improve one of my all time favourite films?

Well, the answer is they didnt improve on it but for me anyway it was still a good film.
Basically like a well known story being told by a different person, the story is the same but they put the emphasis on slightly different areas.

I liked it, but not as much as the original.

Blinded by the light.

Lightweight and definitely a feel good movie but okay to pass a couple of hours with.

Sort of a rock Mamma Mia.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Especially if you are a Springsteen fan.

Finished Your Honor. Very good but crap ending. Started on The Flight Attendant. Looking very good after a brilliant opening episode!!

Nope, can no longer recommend now I know there's no fifth season

Tales from the Loop, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8741290/

Only 2 episodes in, but that's some weird depressing stuff right there.

I liked that one, series of well told interconnected sci fi stories.
Slow pace and thoughtfully done.

Just watched The American.

Slow burner, with some lovely eye candy. Didn't end as I expected.

8/10

Best of Enemies. Very good.

Mare of East town is a big recommend, small town hicks, family relationships and grief with no filters.

Oh and Winslet doing a bang up job.

Also enjoyed the ride - film about a white supremacist kid who got adopted and took up bmx

All finished now.
8 episodes, only one which was dire IMHO (gay / parallel worlds episode) overall a rather good mini series, for some reason the last episode tugged on the old heart strings
