Just watched 'London has fallen' on Prime tonight with low expectations TBH, most will hate it no doubt but I really liked it..some iffy CGI but proper brain out 90's style 'Good guy makes wise cracks while killing bad guys, everything blows up' kinda fun.

Nerve.
just brilliant, one of the best films I’ve seen in ages.

sucker punch

very odd..obviously bought the CGI from other productions but a very enjoyable hour and a bit of fantasy cartoon type weirdness!

I recently watched Kajaki on Netflix. I was ready to switch it off after the first few minutes, all seemed a bit macho bollocks and wooden acting but I'm glad I stayed with it. The sense of fear and panic captured in the scenes in the minefield were as good as in any war film I've seen, really brought home that that  courage is being shit scared and somehow still being able to function.

We watched Yesterday last night - a Brit/Danny Boyle fie about a pub singer who wakes up from an accident and he's the only one that know about the Beatles.  Really rather good with the exception of Ed Sheeran's poor acting.

How have I never seen Training Day before?? Always had it down as some naff action/cop movie, but it’s brilliant. Makes me wonder how many other films over the last 20 years I’ve dismissed and are actually worth watching!

Watched The Platform last night - it had hints of being a great movie but was ultimately, a turd.

2/10

I have never seen a Denzel Washington film I didn't enjoy.

I watched Blinded By The Light the other evening, and it was, well, meh.

Love a Danny Boyle movie, love the idea of the movie but Beatles music makes my ears bleed so can’t bring myself to watch it unfortunately

Trying to think of one and drawing a blank. Watched the Equaliser again the other night. Setting the finale in a hardware store was a stroke of genius.

I’m not ashamed, I’ve just watched Trolls World Tour and it was fab! Not as good as the first but very entertaining.

I'm hoping to add to this thread after watching Bandidas later.
Penelope Crux AND Salma Hayek! What can possibly go wrong?

Oh wait...
Writers: Luc Besson, Robert Mark Kamen

How long before tits out? Not that I'll be complaining if it is important for character development.

32 minutes before they fell in a river together and got soaked...

A pleasant enough film but unlikely to be watched again.

Watched Midnight Express for the first time this week. Always been aware of its cult status but never felt compelled to actually sit down and watch it.

Was bloody good. Can see how it angered the Turks at the time.

Also thought the lead was a very dashing chap who wouldn't have looked out of place in a contemporary photo shoot.

Not brill but very watchable and free. Code 8 on Netflix.

Also a dark and moody one called A Bluebird in My Heart with the very lovely Lola Le Lann
