April 29, 20205 yr I finally got around to Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa the other day (it's on the BBC iPlayer for 25 more days) and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I've loved all of Alan's series but was always hesitant to watch the film as a lot of British TV shows haven't translated that well to the big screen. I actually think it'll become one of my favourite films with a couple more watches. :lol: I also started Love & Mercy last night (got about half way through), about Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys (on the iPlayer for 26 more days!) and I'm really enjoying that as well. I was expecting to not enjoy the 80s scenes as much, but that hasn't been the case and I was properly gripped until I remembered I had to be up early. :lol: Next up I'll likely watch Claude Barras' My Life as a Courgette as that's on All4!
June 3, 20205 yr Some good films I've watched in the last couple of weeks: Gorillaz: Reject False Icons (2019) - 7/10 Tintin and the Mystery of the Golden Fleece (1961) - 9/10 Onward (2020) - 7.5/10 Action Point (2018) - 8/10 The Incredible Hulk (2008) - 9/10 I've finally got around to watching all of the MCU :lol: up to Thor next!
August 10, 20204 yr Finished Knives Out this movie will gives you the next level suspense on the murder mystery or suicidal, and movie will start with a very interesting rhythm but as it gradually advances. highly recommended.
August 10, 20204 yr Will Ferrell's Eurovision was great fun. On DVD, to be honest you can't go wrong with any animated DC movies, always quality. Better than most DC live action films - though the closer they stick to the original animated movie (like the first Wonder Woman) the better they turn out. I'm looking forward to the Snyder cut Justice League film broken up into 6 installments. Should help me get some sleep, judging by his usual angst-ridden extended-yawnsome-battlescenes snoozefests.
January 17, 20214 yr Some I've seen since recently (finally getting through the MCU :lol:) Soul (2020) - 10/10. Absolutely loved this, definitely need to give it a rewatch soon. I can certainly see it being up there with my fave Pixar films over time Ant-Man (2015) - 10/10. Bit of an underrated MCU film I feel? But definitely my favourite so far, excited to watch Ant-Man & the Wasp soon! Pulp Fiction (1994) - 7/10. Watched this in film studies before Christmas, definitely feels like one I need to watch another time to properly "get". Very interesting to analyse so far though, and I certainly wasn't bored during it. The SpongBob Movie: Sponge On the Run (2020) - 5/10. Really disappointed by this, I adore the two previous SpongeBob films. The plot for this just didn't seem to be grand enough for a movie, I did enjoy the live-action sequences though and the animation is gorgeous. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019) - 10/10. A very fitting end to the series, with an ending I frankly didn't expect which made me quite sad! :lol: The Grinch (2018) - 6/10. Distinctly average really, animation was fun but I can't see myself choosing to watch this over the 70s TV special or Jim Carrey movie. I'll Be Home for Christmas (1998) - 8/10. I was very pleasantly surprised by this :lol: Nothing groundbreaking but a lot of fun, and has a lot of laughs. Definitely one to check out in December!
March 25, 20214 yr Deadpool 2 By times, crude, juvenile, irreverent, and really clever, Deadpool 2 is perhaps not as good as the first one, but has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and fun action none-the-less. Worth a watch 8/10
March 31, 20214 yr Hi, I am watching The Queen's Gambit and I am totally recommend it if you like chess.
May 3, 20214 yr Author Tonight I watched „Barb and Star go to Vista del Mar” and 10/10 highly recommend. It’s ridiculous camp fun.
September 10, 20213 yr I'm watching the Amazon Cinderella after my husband begged me to... and it's terrible lol even he is regretting watching it.
February 3, 20223 yr 2 i picked up this week Ghostbusters Afterlife Enjoyed it, good how they included the originals. Wombling Free (1977) The film that introduced the world to Bonnie Langford and first used the phrase "To Me To You" so it seems the Chuckle Brothers nicked it from The Wombles lol 2 of the voices of the Wombles in the film were David Jason and Jon Pertwee. This film hasn't been shown on mainstream TV for decades a quick look at Twitter told me it was shown on London Live (London area only) in 2019. Very enjoyable film. The DVD also contains archive interviews with Bonnie Langford, Lionel Jeffries and David Tomlinson. Edited February 3, 20223 yr by Mark.
February 17, 20223 yr Just a heads up Saturday 9.05pm on Talking Pictures TV an absolute classic! Kes https://twitter.com/TalkingPicsTV/status/1494333692612734977
