Currently on my dodgy provider that @lifeintheslowlane uses
Love the use of AC/DC in it so far
Elvis.
Very sad.
Very brutal
Brilliant performances but such a horror show of how horrific some people can be. Brilliant but awful film/story
Watched American Gangster again the other night with me ma. Itās an excellent film with some stand out moments. Russell Crowe pulls off the acting experience of a lifetime by playing a man who doesnāt look like heās about to beat up his directors or fans.
However, this is Denzelās movie. As Frank Lucas, he can be charming and terrifying.
Itās going on my gangster movie rotation list.

Finally got round to watching Midsommar last night.
Apparently telling Kid G: āthatās what the hostels will be like on your gap yearā wasnāt appropriate.

True Story
And brilliant.
Zac Efron on a journey from a NYC suburb to deliver beers to boyz from the Hood in Vietnam.
And boy does he lear some lessons on the way.
Marvellous if you have a way of look (ing at movie(s)
On a bit of an 80s kick at the moment.
Last night I watched Better Off Dead, a teen comedy starring John Cusack. Itās a black comedy about an obsessed ex-boyfriend dumped by his girlfriend who makes numerous failed suicide attempts.
I watched it loads as a kid, but Iām surprised at how well this one holds up. It is a silly film which commits to its silliness. There are in-jokes that run the length of the movie, such as a psychotic paper boy constantly on the hunt for a delinquent two dollar sum. His motherās inability to cook being so legendary that she manages to make sentient slime and gives out TV dinners for Christmas.
My favourite character doesnāt even have a line in the film. This would be Laneās younger brother Badger, a silent genius who makes excellent use of available reading materials.
I shall be moving onto its spirtual successor, One Crazy Summer, this weekend. There might also be a bit of Cannonball Run on the horizon.

What a load of utter bollox.
Marvelous
Every Saints fan should watch this steamingly wonderful pile of turd instead of the game tomorrow
Much more fun.
Love it
The Neil Baldwin film?
A great watch - the autobiography is a good read.
No, he was replying to me about Bullet Train

And yes, having watched it for the 2nd time, Top Gun Maverick is just perfect Hollywood film-making.
Wonderful nonsense, beautifully filmed
Three Days of the Condor.
Never seen it in all these years, had it recorded for some time and just watched it. Cracking film.

Marvellous nonsense

Uncharted is a Treasure Hunt thingy. More poor National Treasure than Indiana Jones.
Decent cast hams it up and clearly itās intended t launch a new franchise.
In itās favour is that it is in the Top 20 highest grossing films of the year but in reality with a 6.6 IMDB rating it isnāt pulling up any trees.
Iād file it under ābuggerā should have saved that for Christmas Day after Lunch when I just want to sit on the sofa, fart and stare blankly at some nonsense
Sounds like the sales pitch for a retirement home.

Watching the rest tonight. It offers nothing new to the Franchise.
But I still sprayed Vodka at the NO SPOILERS bit
There is NO version of reality where watching All Quiet on the Western Front (Netflix) is enjoyable
However, like visiting Auschwitz, it is something you MUST do.
Not as good as the original but Jeez
