Last film you watched.....

I read this morning that English National Opera have added this trigger warning to their staging of The Pirates of Penzance - “Please note this production contains references to alcohol misuse and mild violence. Please speak to a member of staff for more information.”

There is a scene where they pour a glass of sherry!

 

So sad how Woke this country, and others have become.

 

Watched "Blitz" last night after being recommended by a friend,
what an absolute crock of wokey shite!

 

Red One, and then Thelma. Red One was the better one.

 

I haven’t seen Thelma, but Steve and I watched Red One last night and really enjoyed it. Those surely were some turbo charged reindeer!

 

We Live In Time - my wife suggested going to see this modern "rom-com", and I didn't have a problem with that, I enjoy a good rom-com.... some decent reviews, plaudits for the actors, I'll give it a go. Spoiler alert for the following if you want to see the film first!

If you like the idea of a once lesbian, former ice-skating champion chef meeting a weak, wishy-washy guy who just wants kids (and was probably bullied at school!), then this could be the film for you!

Throw in a non-binary chef's assistant, plenty of F-words (and nudity) from the "strong female lead", a guy who has some kind of a job at Weetabix (for some unrelated reason) but never seems to be at work, and a mixed up timeline where Florence Pugh at least looks different in each timeframe, but Andrew Garfield looks the same in every scene, and you will probably be able to guess, this wasn't the film for me!

 

Sounds like Brokeback mountain, couldn't understand one bloody word of it, and having to see a bloke take it up the you know what. The wife's workmates said it was a good. To be fair the best part was when the titles came up.

 

Well it's that time of the year that sadly we have to leave the bike indoors, and take the car. I'm not trying to teach you to suck eggs here, but I've said it before, and I'll say it again, don't forget to clean your windscreen before you set off.

 

Just seen my post above, what the hell did I post it here for. Oh well must have been a senior moment.
Well I've just watched all 6 episodes of American Primeval, bloody hell if you watch it, you'll see the Osmond's in a different light.
But ,VERY good none the less.

 

Resident Alien... on Netflix. Second time around for me, worth the while.

And today's film was - Here. The new Tom Hanks movie is filmed from a single camera point in the front room of a family home and jumps between different eras and families.... even some scenes from before the house was built.

It's from the same team as Forrest Gump so if you didn't like that, or something like A Man Called Otto, you might not like this. Critics have been iffy about it, viewers seem to be a bit kinder. I enjoyed it.

It certainly balanced out watching Civil War last night..... although I enjoyed that too!!

 

Watched The Shining again the other night, for only the second time. Saw it first just last year. Don't know why I've missed it for all this time given its reputation.
I didn't rate it that much. I did enjoy it more on second viewing but I don't think it deserves its cult status. It's good and some of the techniques were no doubt ground-breaking at the time, but (like most of Stephen King's books IMO) it's not the strongest storyline.
Jack Nicholson just plays Jack Nicholson, but Shelly Duvall is superb. her performance makes the film in my view. And she was perfectly cast.
I'm glad I gave it a second chance but it's not one for my DVD library.
