The Joker Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 On 27/12/2021 at 06:04, wearysmith said: Later this morning going to see Spider-Man for the 3rd time. Getting my cinema visits in before the inevitable lockdown. I watched Spider-Man: No Way Home recently. It’s definitely aimed at kids (like all the Spider-Man spinoff movies) but it’s chock-full of fan service so even big kids like me can enjoy it. The scenes with Dr Strange going all Inception did make me feel queasy. Verdict is 8/10, including one bonus point for bringing back Tobey Maguire.

Rockers rule Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Nightmare Alley (2021) Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchette. Neo-nor Psychological thriller - that isn't. Long winded, with a twist to the end that can be seen coming from 10 minutes in. Well filmed but nothing new story wise. 5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRESLEY Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Peacemaker with George Clooney, unlucky for us this actor wasn't born in the UK, definately would have been the next best Bond after Sean Connery, Nicole Kidman co stars, it is easy to imagine Clooney playing Bond if you see this film. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockers rule Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) 'Parked' (2011) 6.5/10 In theory the story is there. Homeless, down on his luck and resorting to sleeping in his car. (Been there - usually down to being too drunk to be in any state to drive back to the B&B ) Colm Meany plays Fred Daly, can't get dole money because of 'no fixed abode'. Film has everything, political interest, love interests and a much younger fellow car sleeper with his own problems in the next car. Unfortunately the film fails almost as if, 'we've done enough, the budgets been cut, lets go home'. Shame could have been as good as 'The Lady in the Van', 2015 or 'I Daniel Blake', 2016. Worth watching? yes, but don't expect too much. Break (2020) 6/10 If a films about 'snooker surely it should conjure up the magic of snooker. Too much of a remake of 'the Karate kid' and any other film that deals with coming from a council estate where drugs, broken family's and gangsters rule are the norm. The 1984 film 'Number one' with Bob Geldof did the same story even better. Aileen Wuornos: American boogeywoman (2021) The perfect a compliment to the 2003 film 'Monster'. The Boogeywoman film is from the prospectus of taped interviews with American serial killer Aileen Wuornos before being killed by lethal injection in 1989. Can her claims on further killings, the reason for her other crimes be taken as truth, or just further proof of the state of Aileen's mental state? Gonna give this a 8.5/10. Worth watching. Keep safe out there . Edited February 6, 2022 by Rockers rule - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Beware some strong language) Enjoy. Number One TV Movie 1985 Part 9 (Final Part) - YouTube Just watching the end of the 'Number one' again emphasises my point about the lack of feeling in the film 'Break'.

Guest Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 The Tinder Swindler 7.5/10 This Netflix documentary is captivating- victims of a very smart conman, tell their story of how an Israeli fraudster took them for a ride. I still find it astonishing, that successful women like these, actually fell for everything- I mean, when a 'son of a billionaire' asks you for money, it's time to run the other way! DUH!!

Anna B Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 'Sorry we missed you' by Ken Loach, about Newcastle family working their socks off for low pay, (he's a delivery driver for an Amazon type company, she's a care worker.) Not an easy watch and depressing, but Loach is trying to realistically portray the lives of the working poor in Britain today, along the lines of 'I Daniel Blake.' Well, somebody has to. 10 /10 for worthyness and information, and 2/10 for enjoyment, but that's not the point. Everyone should watch Ken Loach's films to see how the other half(?) live.
