Peter Daniel/10 The real lawyer from the film made about 150 million from the pay out with about 170 million being shared out between the residents of the town.Not a bad payday for him. Somehow he's gone bust recently owing clients millions. Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Nordic Noir par excellence - really enjoyed Daniel Craig's performance in this. TimRam and Rev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Rocky IV: Rocky vs Drago (the Director's Cut) They got rid of the awful robot so, whatever else, it's a massive improvement on the original. The movies are solid and dependable, with grit and occasional brilliance. Steve Buckley/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 No Time to Die I'm a HUGE Bond fan and have seen all of them at least 3 times, some a lot more. This was Craig's worst by some way. It's the first I can ever remember watching first at home since Connery was Bond, so that may have had something to do with it, but I was bored at times.SPOILER COMING WTf! You don't kill Bond! Everybody knows that Bond isn't one person so why do you kill him with a silly melodramatic ending? My wife was in tears. If she is blubbing you clearly went too far.

Steve Powell for the first half of his career/10 (Steve Powell for the second half of his career/10 if it wasn't the fact that it was Bond) I'm not much of a Bond fan, but I find it pretty interesting that in the previous 24 films the directors and writers felt confident enough in their ability to tell engaging stories, build interesting narratives and create drama without having to resort to the "nuclear" option of killing off the protagonist. To me that says everything you need to know about the combined "talent" of Fukunaga, Purvis, Wade, and Waller-Bridge. What I really don't understand is how the studio and producers green lit this idea. You have a franchise that prints money with one of the most recognisable names in fiction and you decide to kill the character off. It doesn't make any sense.

Anon Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Groundhog Day - 8/10 I really like this film. Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell are excellent and the premise is delightfully odd. Someone made a very interesting point to me about this film though, that I hadn't previously considered. We view the events from the perspective of Bill Murray's character, so the love story that unfolds makes perfect sense to us. Consider the final "perfect" day from Andie MacDowell's perspective. She has no knowledge of the interactions between her and Murray that caused them to fall for one another. To her Murray should seem like a weird stalker who inexplicably knows all kinds of private information about her. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Venom- Let There Be Carnage Enjoyed the first one and I'm not a superhero guy. I can't take all the seriousness about world destruction and self sacrifice whilst people use their powers to fly around etc. Much prefer the more tongue in cheek amusing ones like Iron Man, Thor and Dead Pool - which Venom definitely fits into. Thought it started really well and was funny and rattled along at a great pace. Its only a short film but I felt it started to flag 2nd half and become a little predictable. Preferred the first one but still a decent watch if you liked it. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew absolutely nothing about it before going, and was so surprised how good it was. Brilliant film, well worth it. Ted Mcminn/10 Went with a couple of big Ghostbusters fans. They were wearing the biggest grins at the end. I’m not a massive fan but really enjoyed it as a movie. Didn’t try anything complicated. Good mix of comedy and action, with a few jump scares thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Starsky and Hutch with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. Unbelievably terrible but gets marks for "Dancing Rick" taking Starsky (Stiller) down in a dance-off with meme-worthy comments from the judge (Patton Oswalt). If you were high and/or 15 it would probably be hilarious. Crazy to think this is directed by the same guy who made Joker. Connor Doyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 The Unforgivable. Not an easy watch, but a worthwhile one.

I know you don’t judge a book by the cover, but the purpose of a trailer is to entice you to watch the film. I cannot even determine a genre of film from it ?
