Gladiator must be one of the best films out there.

We're going to watch Glad 2 tonight on the big screen, very much been looking forward to this so hope it delivers. I know there are lots of sequels that tend to not live up to the hype, but there are lots that do such as Aliens, Godfather2, Bourne supremacy and The Dark Knight. Fingers crossed.

Joy, IVF story of the first test tube baby born in Oldham, pretty easy watch and I like dthe footage at the end of the real stuff 5/10
 
Sands of the Kalahari (1965) starring Stanley Baker, Stuart Whitman and Susannah York. Filmed on location the story of a place crash many miles from civilisation. The 6 survivors have to contend with very high temperatures, limited food supplies and a pack of wild baboons, angry at their water supply has been discovered. Throw in the sex angle and Whitman's paranoia and loss of control there is an explosive finale. Highly rated and rarely seen drama.

Star Trek 2009

Really enjoyed it (Watched it when it came out and loved it then) if you like Star Trek you should like this set of films too, the cast has been superbly picked IMHO.

I downloaded the 2 later films Beyond and Into the darkness to watch tomorrow evening.

Absolutely Brilliant Chris Pine is superb it’s just like watching a young Bill Shatner

Really good movie - I prefer it to Flight of the Phoenix, which has a superficially similar plot.

Fact - Stuart Whitman invested his money in building properties in Malibu at the start of his career when the place was a few dozen houses and when he retired was one of the richest people in Hollywood. He didn’t need to act financially, he just did it because he loved hanging out on film sets.
 
Nosferatu. 7/10

Really do love Robert Eggers and think he has a masterpiece in him, but this isn’t it. It’s beautifully shot but it’s lacking in places and has a tendency to over explain.

Willam Dafoe turns in a great performance, Bill Skarsgård is once again a brilliant villain but my god Lily-Rose Depp does her best to ruin the whole thing by totally over acting throughout, found myself laughing as she groaned and convulsed her way through nigh on every scene.

Still, enjoyed an afternoon out at the cinema. Next up will be ‘Bird’.

Just watched it. An excellent movie. I can't imagine what it was like in those days or that I'd have the bravery to do anything about it.

A great tale of how peace is so precious but also how ethics are completely different in troubled times.

Maybe it's just me but take WWII and the Holocaust out of that story and there was precious little difference between freedom-fighter and terrorist.
