SALT. Ridiculous,implausible etc blah and not my type of film at all, but I enjoyed it!

Salt is like a million years old, you'll be watching Mr & Mrs Smith next.

Needs a new thread, what's the bestest B&W film.

I mean it's obviously Yojimbo, but your milage may vary.

Inn for Trouble with Peggy Mount!

Metropolis.

Bailed on so many films lately. They seem to be churning out so much crap for Netflix, Prime et al lately.

On the plus side I watched a brilliant Italian film in the week, The Children's Train (Il treno dei bambini). It's both funny and moving and has outstanding performances from some child actors, think Cinema Paradiso. I bet Korky (remember him?) would love it if he hasn't already seen it. It is of course better subtitled, than with dubbed english, if you can follow that, but there's no guns or green screen special f/x.

Went to see Weapons this afternoon - I can't say that I 'enjoyed' it as such but I'm definitely glad I saw it. If that makes sense.

I lasted 30 seconds of trailer. Personally hate Sci-Fi

Alien Earth.......bloody brilliant.

Perhaps I should elaborate.

The usual suspects, and some new additions. What makes it worse is you know how bad it's going to get more than the characters. In some cases I'm not sure who is worse, the xenoc's or the humans. Mild Blade Runner touch as well. Blinky the eye octopus is a clever little fucker. Guest star is a Young One. I had to google who it was.

Also... the closing music on every episode. Brilliant.

Octo-eye is gonna be the star of the show.

Just my kind of irreverent film.

The Narrow Road to the Deep North.


It’s not an easy watch …

Currently loving Foundation on Apple tv.

If you had a thing for Dedra, Demerzel should be right up your street.

First couple of episodes are a bit average but it soon gets going.

Atomic https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32386301/?ref_=ttrt_ov_i

More flop than fission / 10.

Toscana. Basicallly a poor mans A Good Year. But I'd be hard pushed to chose between Marion Cotillard and Christiana Dell'Anna...

Shogun on Disney, lovely series so far, half way through the 10 episodes and hope if gets picked up for a 2nd

The film is about a chef turned death metal musician and he used those wheels for his sound deadening when practicing. Honest Guy!
Thinking about it, that may have been a better plot!
