A different film stuck away in Hidden Gems on Netflix is Burnt.
It is a film to watch with the other half but I enjoyed it.
Basically Bradley Cooper heads up a cracking cast in this 2015 film that got buried in A Star is Born hype.
Bradley plays a washed out extreme version ex junkie Gordon Ramsay type.
It features the only fine dining UK noshery Mrs P_F has ever been to - The Langham and charts Bradâs rehabilitation into being Michel Roux - or his pursuit of 3 Michelin Stars.
It is a good film. Some twists. Some cookery shit.
Different and enjoyable.
You overpaid.
I hear the Pizza Express in Woking is the new hotspot for the hoi polloi

It was paid for.
You should know that by now 
The only Michelin 2 star Iâve paid for & it was unbelievable
News of the World. Netflix.
Directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Tom Hanks
This is a simple yet deep and an old fashioned movie. Almost a historical drama as much as a âWesternâ.
It is quite marvellous.
Vibes of True Grit & The Searchers, two classic films that step out of being just âWesternsâ.
Tom Hanks in any other year would likely get an Oscar nomination for his role as the battle weary post civil war Confederate Captain travelling across the dystopian countryside of Texas as it comes to terms with losing. The only way he can earn a living is to Read the News to local audiences. He stumbles across a lynching and a lost girl who had been captured by Kiowa Indians and ârescuedâ.
The film itself could make a run at Best Picture.
It is that compact, depressing and uplifting and beautifully filmed & constructed.
9.5/10 first proper film Iâve enjoyed in lockdown

Weirdly Iâve read that the film wouldnât stand up there with other great Westerns.
Mrs C_S and YoungAdult#1 thought it was OK.
It is different to others the feel is different. Maybe thatâs why I liked it.
Seen Space Sweepers yet?
Iâve seen the trailer & itâs on the list.

Watching Total Recall 2012. Itâs set in the future, and theyâre all wearing masks.
How remarkably prescient

I believe the 2012 bit refers to the year this version was made, mâlud. In order to differentiate it from the schwarzenegger one.

The Constant Gardener for some reason. Superb
For the Love of the Game - Kevin Costner Baseball drama. Meh, Sunday afternoon sh1t when the Great Escape isnât on. Too much drama not enough Baseball
Meh! Any cheap shot
Have no idea what youâre on about or what Iâm wittering about. Too many shandies 
True story.
On a drunken âbusiness tripâ to Galway we had a stop over in Dublin on the way back. In a pub in Temple Bar and met THE actual âextra/actressâ who played Sylvester Stallone AND Colin Farrell going through Passport Control.
Possibly my most random name drop moments ever.
She was a bloody good laugh and no, we never got THAT drunk
Actress- WTAF???
It was touch & go. Luckily, myself & Damascus Saint had filled our boots with a Beef Boxty at Gallaghers Boxty House. Bashirâs Bazza just had a smoked Salmon salad.
It took all of our experience and some funky moves while some Brit murdered Danny Boy at Karaoke to stop Bâs Bazza marrying her on the spot & taking her home.
The things i had to do for Corporate 'MuricaâŚ
