Last Film You Saw

was flicking through Netflix last night and watched 'A time to kill' I'd actually forgotten just how good that movie is.
 
Must see film?

"Watchmen- Director's Cut" If you've ever read the comics, easter eggs/ homages everywhere, if you've not, deep symbolism about the state of the world.

"No Country for Old Men"- simply superb and deeply disturbing.

"Man on Fire" (the remake with Denzel Washington)- Noblest redemption arc I've seen on screen.

"The Book of Eli"- Not sure ANYONE ELSE on the planet could carry this nondescript film the way Denzel Washington does!

"Rope"- Excellent Hitchcock thriller dealing with unspoken taboos.

Finally "Fury"- intense claustrophobic war in action.
 
Tigers

Story of a young lad who gets signed by a big club to be a pro footballer.
But it's not as expected. I recommend all lovers of football watch it.
Really well made, thoroughly enjoyed it.

9/10

Really enjoyed it.

Petite Maman

I liked it but thought it would be a bit better given the reviews. I would still recommend it.
 
Watched ‘When we were Kings’ for the first time in years yesterday.

Really enjoyed watching it again - there’s probably 5 or 10 minutes worth of stuff that doesn’t add that much, but there’s a good narrative to it and it’s worth watching just for the footage it has of Ali.

Just under an hour and a half, so definitely worth a watch given the lack of games this weekend. On Amazon Prime at the moment.

The paperback by Norman Mailer "The Fight" covers the period leading up and including the fight itself of the Rumble in the Jungle in extraordinary detail.

spoiler alert
who did it?
Watched it twice and still cant figure it out
 
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Two drag queens and a trans woman go across Australia to perform cabaret. On BBC last night. Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving. I really enjoyed the film 8/10.
Guy Pearce is a good actor and he’s been in some cracking films.

Actually the actor's name is Guy Pearce. Guy Ritchie is a well known film director - Lock Stock and Smoking Barrels - and once married to Madonna. Still a decent film though - great performance by Terence Stamp.
