Last film you watched.....

We took our 6 year old grandson to see it last week. Mrs D cried

 

Oh great, so what your saying is I've got a mental age of a 6 year old.

 

Haven`t we all?

 

You raise a good point.

 

Love/Hate. Not a movie but a TV series about drug dealers in Ireland, it's not a recent show but I would highly recommend watching it, 28 episodes of great Tv.

 

Epend4bles.

Gave up it was so bad. Everything obviously green screen. It was like a shoddy parody of itself.

 

Not a film but the latest output from the incomparable Sir David Attenborough, Asia.
This was in the mountains and was spectacular. The snow leopards are beautiful.

 

The new Day of the Jackal - great drama

 

Just watched Bee keeper with Jason Statham - superb action film

 

Saw Blitz yesterday - obviously a tale about London during the blitz. This shows a much more diverse population than you might expect - reviews say it's an accurate portrayal of London during the war years rather than just "inclusivity" at work, but it might come as a bit of a surprise compared to traditional "stiff upper lip" British war films. I enjoyed it, if that is the right description for watching London get blown to bits! And Paul Weller is the grandfather!!

On a lighter note, I saw Red One last week - a "Marvel generation" Christmas tale, but enjoyable hokum none the less!!

Gladiator 2 next week.......

 

We just finished binging the second season of The Diplomat. Couldn't help ourselves (you know how it goes...."just one more episode then we'll go to bed"--at midnight). Now we have to wait for the next season and the last episode (last 30 seconds really!) of season 2 was a doozy!

 

Watched this last night.

Brilliant blues playing

 

Well, today was Gladiator 2 day....... loved it! I'm no historian, so I accept it may play with historical facts a fair bit, but it was a good romp of a movie and the 148mins passed easily.

I'm a fan of the original Gladiator anyway, I've read the Simon Scarrow adventures of legionnaires Macro and Cato, I passed the remains of a Roman Bathhouse on the way to school every day and now live a mile or so from the route of the Antonine Wall and the remains of various Roman camps, forts and bits of the wall, so maybe I'm just into Roman stuff!

The granite "benches" and lines of cobbles in this photo mark the Antonine Wall across the main shopping street in my local town, Kirkintilloch.

 

I saw "Gladiator II". It is a follow up of the first one. Great pictures, cool fights and ...
