Watched it yesterday although we did stop it at 2 hours to cook food for the family. Actually enjoyed the movie although the dream sequences at the end were a bit odd and didn't really understand what the joker was going on about.

Those scenes leave it very only for a sequel and for other characters to have more of their own standalone movies that will then blend into that dream sequence at the end!! Did you allow Junior to watch that movie as well? Edited March 20, 2021 by Sherlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as Kataleya knew Wonder Woman was in the film she wanted to see it, must admit I was happy to see Wonder Woman too lol She managed about 2 hours before losing interest. I cooked and then watched the last 2 hours after also putting Kataleya to bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Penevil Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 A different kind of war film: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Penevil Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Another different war film, about Turkish special forces rescuing a female journalist from ISIS. Very brutal and realistic scenes of violence. No sympathy for ISIS in that film! I watched it on Prime. It has English subtitles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Boy Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 I watched this one last night, wasn't expecting too much but it's well-filmed and very interesting. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5045746/ If you've read the news about Thailand over the years then you'll have come across the stories about slavery on Thai fishing boats and the cruel and inhumane conditions aboard. That's what this film is about, and it's presented well. I remember back in my Phuket days, I used to sit on Patong Beach and watch the oddly-shaped fishing boats chugging along the horizon. Hard to believe that I was enjoying an ice-cold beer while unfortunates like this might have been sailing past in the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched another Bruce Willis B-movie a few weeks ago, Cosmic Sin. What a waste, the guy's still got considerable talent and persona, but he's wasting it on all these crappy films he's taking on nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he is doing it to pay his ex wife's maintenance, will take anything offered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed that one too, it's an interesting story and quite intense, old Russel has still got a certain magic. Here's another recent one of his that I enjoyed, though it's scarcely credible that he could have got away with all that it broad daylight. Still, it might make you think twice in future before flipping the bird at some other inconsiderate road user, lol.

Toy Boy Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 This is the best coming-of-age movie I've seen, as well as the best teen gay sexuality/angst film too! It's amazingly well-cast, even the minor players are perfect for their roles. Well-acted and with a nice story and a gentle lesson about finding yourself, rather than what others want or expect you to be. Amber's blossoming through the movie from a nettle into an Irish rose is also well done. I'm not much of a fan of either genre, to be honest, but this film is so good I can't recommend it too highly. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7886936/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lie, every time the action ramped up, the plane also shook. Never been so happy for a plane to touch down in my life....

It is exactly the same as footballers who once played proper footy going to Scotland for a retirement boost by signing for Celtic or Rangers for a season or two.

Sherlock Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Just watched Riders of Justice, with Mads Mikkelsen. A Danish movie, but with subtitles. A good movie but with a few unexplained arcs and storylines. A solid 7.5/10 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy Boy Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 I watch a lot of documentaries and a week or so ago I saw one of the best ever, "Ocean to Sky", about Sir Edmund Hillary's final major expedition, from the mouth of the Ganges, across the sub-continent and into the Himalayas by jet boat. This was way back in 1977 and the quality of the photography for a documentary of that era is astounding. It's also wonderful to see India and the Gangetic Plain as it was almost half a century ago. The film has quite a dramatic end. and the whole experience of watching it is moving and interesting, educational and uplifting, it's really got a little bit of everything. I can't recommend it too highly. It scores 8.2 on IMDB, so I'm not alone in having enjoyed this one. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11197384/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
