glemiln Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Particularly for the generation wishing to revisit the 60’s, a film produced by and in the company of Michael Caine with his personal journey through London. The events will have influenced many northerners, including myself! The younger generation may like to experience time travel! My Generation (2017) - 80 minutes, BBC2 tonight 11pm - probably on IPlayer thereafter. Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais- the rock ‘n roll explosion inc. Beatles, The Who and the Stones; fashion,etc. Off screen interviews with McCartney, Daltrey, (Dame)Twiggy, Marianne Faithful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Stein Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hunt for the Wilderpeople - a New Zealand comedy drama about a delinquent boy and a crotchety old man avoiding the authorities in the bush on North Island. If you like the wry somewhat surrealist humour of Taika Waititi, you should enjoy this. Good performances by the leading actors (Sam Neill as the old man) and the usual bizarre cameo from Rhys Darby. And best of all, two mentions of rugby league (and one dismissive one of the All Blacks). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josef K Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I took a couple of my grandkids to the pictures just before Christmas as they wanted to watch Spider-Man. The last Spider-Man i watched was the cartoon from the 70’s. I didn’t have a clue what was happening in the film, but i did manage to have a nod whilst they watched it. The kids gave it 9/10, i gave it a 2/10 but my forty winks was a 7/10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirlin Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Autopsy of Jane Dow First time on British TV according to my listing magazine , Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch as father and son coroners. 3 people found slaughtered in very grisley fashion , but it is the half buried dead body of a young girl in the basement with no visible injuries that the film concentrates on. Film 4 so will probably be on again in a few weeks , or now on catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans82 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Watched a film called MASS on sky the other day , got good reviews , but it was absolute garbage , one of those arty ones where nothing happens and the dialogue is dire . Don`t waste 2 hours watching this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hallucinating Goose Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Been in a bit of an action mood of late. Watched the first two Rush Hour films a couple of days ago, watched Beverley Hills Cop 1 & 2 yesterday and today and am gonna put in Speed now. Don't know why I'm in this mood but I'm really enjoying myself even if Mrs Goose isn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Evans Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I sat through the ghostbusters afterlife..... grandad taking one for the team.

Shadow Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Mrs Shadow's had a rough day or three and wanted something funny and mindless so we flicked through Netflix and spotted this We had an hour left to watch and gave up. Drivel doesn't even begin to cover it, it's full of actors who should, as we've invoked the spirit of Kermode, all be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Guz Khan, David Duchovny, Karen Gillan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rob Delaney, John cena, John Lithgow, Peter Serafinowicz, Daisy Ridley. What were they all thinking?

Oxford Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I find an awful lot of films so easy to give up on. And when I add the gratuitous things in the mix as well as remakes and poor scripting I feel like I've found buried treasure whenever I find a decent movie. Hens' teeth would be an upgrade. 2 warning points Non-Political Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
