Le Mans
a decent watch - 8/10

The Devil all the time
great cast, great acting, bleak as fook, slow, picks up pace 2nd half, different from the usual shite, enjoyed it - 8/10
 


Watched a film called Funny Cow based around the life of Marti Caine. For the young uns a comedienne who also competed New Faces which Simon Cowell now calls it Britain’s got Talent

northern workingmens clubs from the 70s trying to entertain them. A very hard task to achieve. Loads of British actors in it and the humour 2as very near to the knuckle

8/10
 
Everest
7/10
Rewatched, tense true story about the Adventure Consultants company, who charged people $50k to take them to the roof of the world.

Host
7/10
Short (55mins) tale about a seance held over zoom during lockdown. Canny

Circle
6/10
No explanation horror, a room full of people are steadily electrocuted by a weird device in the centre of their circle. Bit like a tales of the unexpected episode
 
Enola Holmes

Canny, but just seemed like another excuse to keep films PC by inserting a sister in between the Holmes brothers.

The Sisters Brothers

I like a good western type film, ok in places but slow and drawn out a fair bit
 
Slacker 8/10
Linklaters debut. “My” era exactly. Really took me back, pre-grunge and pre-Friends which kind of made it even better

where's your avatars gone mate? Looks a bit dull the old G-in-a-square?
 
After cancelling sky movies for never really watching anything, over the last few weeks on film4 I’ve watched, Mandy, a crazy nic cage film with ken barlows son as the baddie, shot caller, prison film, excellent and criminal sort of face off type film with all star cast, got terrible reviews but I enjoyed it!
 
Wanted to watch a feel good film on Sunday night so opted for "Pride"

The story of an LBGT group who fund raised for Welsh miners during the strike.
Very funny and moving, based on a true story
 
Watched What’s Up Doc last night with the bairns ... 1970’s ... Ryan O’Neill and Barbara Streisand....

Proper laugh mind... def worth a watch...some of the chases are legendary
 
This Happy Breed (1944) Set just after WWI follows a working class family struggling through the events of the 1920/30s. Canny interesting film to watch, especially when you compare attitudes back then to today. 7/10
 
Calm with Horses (might be called The Shadow of Violence in the USA).
Brilliant film this, really not what I expected and the acting by the meathead lead is superb.
9/10.
Sherlock Holmes Faces Death.
Sherlock Holmes gets the train from Euston to Newcastle to solve some murders at a Northumberland stately home. Really enjoyed this Basil Rathbone version (even though he looks suspiciously like Angus Deayton). Shot during the War years and the very last scene sums up exactly how they thought society was going to rebuilt when it was all over. How wrong they were.
7/10
