Finished off #downcemeteryroad which was ok, at least two eipsodes two long, implausible in so many places. It so wanted to hae the vibe of Slow Horses but misses the mark by not being confident in what it really wanted to be. m.imdb.com/title/tt3213...

Watched #TheRip on Netflix and decent action film and well worth a watch. Kind of film that should be on a the cinema but we are where we are and it's still a good solid film. m.imdb.com/title/tt3264...

Finally got around to #Frankenstein a very faithful adaptation by Del Torro with both of the Isaac and Elordi giving good performances and of course it looked great. Best film so far this year. m.imdb.com/title/tt1312...

Second film in a row which was a bit meh.... #ifihadlegsidkickyou while Rose Byrne puts it all out there performance wise and deserves the plaudits she's getting i found the film tough to get through, giving up halfway through but getting back to finish. m.imdb.com/title/tt1838...

Following last years films and TV list we start again with #OneBattleAfterAnother and will admit was let down by it. Sure it's interesting and has some good stuff in it, but why is it on so many best film lists I'm note sure. Disappointed. m.imdb.com/title/tt3014...

And following Murphys performance another one by Ethan Hawke in #Bluemoon which should trouble the award season this year. Wasn't fully taken by the film but interesting nether the less. Andrew Scott also very good. m.imdb.com/title/tt3253...

Cillian Murphy goes through the ringer in #Steve a terrific performance in tough film about troubled kids in a run down, understaffed special school. Great turn by Tracey Ullman as his assistant and the main lad is excellent. Catch it on Netflix well worth it. m.imdb.com/title/tt3298...

Steve (2025) ⭐ 6.4 | Drama

1966MJG @1966mjg.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Watched the new documentary on Netflix #1975breakdown bit of social history mixed alongside film history. Doesn't quite hit the mark and a bit all over the place but enjoyable as a look back to the 70's and snippets of great films is always good to see. m.imdb.com/title/tt3898...

Enjoyed the #springsteen film, yes slow paced, a bit of a downer, and all the hotter for it in my eyes. I think if you like the album your get the film. Can see why it didn't do as great as hoped, but Jeremy Allen White captured him well. m.imdb.com/title/tt3192...

What a Hidden gem #deathbylightning turned out to be. Four part mini series about the 20th president of the USA and his assassin. Interesting as I didn't know the stroy, good performances especially by Matthew Macfadyan. Not sure been much in UK but worth checking out. m.imdb.com/title/tt3112...

Clearly enjoying the role, I just felt he was secondary in this film and phones it in. If they make a fourth he needs to be front and centre

Wake up Dead Man or Knives Out 3, was better than the second film, less intricate than the first and less for the supporting cast to do. Josh O'Connor steals the show, Craig I felt rings his performance in. Close may get a supporting nod. Passes the time. . m.imdb.com/title/tt1436...

Finally got to see Alien: Romulus after a couple of flash starts since it came out. Clearly made by someone who loved the first two films and could see all the references to Alien and Aliens and others, almost like a greatest hits film. Enjoyed it,will their be a sequel? m.imdb.com/title/tt1841...

Enjoyed #jaykelly and as a Clooney fan I knew it would be self indulgent but in all honesty I couldn't care less. Adam Sandler is good and fun to see a load of but parts played by British actors. If you like George then.itsnfor you, if nit you're probably hate it. m.imdb.com/title/tt3044...

Joel Edgerton is excellent in #traindreams a beautiful film, reminiscent of Malick at his best. A story of one man's life, loves and losses. Much talk of Netflix type bland movies and this is completely opposite to that. One of the best films of the year. m.imdb.com/title/tt2976...

Train Dreams (2025) ⭐ 7.5 | Drama

1966MJG @1966mjg.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Well #houseofguinness was good fun. Steven Knight treads the same plot lines as he did with Peaky Blinders by weaving them into this tail of everyday irish family who run a brewery. Im sold on it. m.imdb.com/title/tt1354...

Caught up with the walkers on #thelongwalk a really good adaptation of a Stephen King book. The young leads carry the film well, with plenty to keep the viewer interested. As good as i hoped. m.imdb.com/title/tt1037...

Watched #theroses a decent remake/adaptation, Colman and Cumberbatch good in the leads and great dialogue between them at times. Maybe last 20 mins a bit too much OTT but overall decent film and all down to the two leads. m.imdb.com/title/tt3197...

On to #ahouseofdynamite which really liked, tense, split into three sections, yes the ending will upset many but for me it all fitted in well. Big fan of Kathryn Bigelow films and this up there as one of her best. m.imdb.com/title/tt3237...

While away finally after a couple of false starts finally did a double bill binge of #Dune 1 & 2. Epic filmmaking and visually brilliant. Distilled a complex story into quite a simple arc and with plans for a third this exceeded my expectations m.imdb.com/title/tt1160... m.imdb.com/title/tt1523...

Complete opposite with #F1, was fun, Pitt was in full charm mode, driving sequences were good. Of course it fell into cliche mode few times, but overall a rocking bit of entertainment. m.imdb.com/title/tt1631...

Did a double.bill recently not #missionimpossible and #F1 With MI i could see what Cruise was going for but far too complicated,over long stunts and in the end I got tired of it. A pity as I really enjoyed the previous film. m.imdb.com/title/tt9603...

#Oceangate.... Or when CEOs go mad. Fascinating documentary on the #Oceangate tragedy, a tale of a CEO who just wouldn't listen to others and ploughed onwards to disaster. How anyone sane would get into that that sub is amazing, but they fell for his hype. m.imdb.com/title/tt3562...

Titan: The OceanGate Disaster (2025) ⭐ 6.7 | Documentary

1966MJG @1966mjg.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Watched #Materialists was a bit...no it was...a slow burn. Old fashioned film in many ways, time for characters to breathe, exploring relationships. Not very likeable lead played by Johnson but she does well with decent support from Pascal and Evans. m.imdb.com/title/tt3025...

Grace I stick with only for Simm and Brighton, beyond that not much more is a draw.

One for the wife #Thesplit Barcelona, shown last Christmas but we watched it this week....taking up space on teh recorder...watch or delete time. Walker is good and it's all very glossy and fake,certainly could have been done over 90 mins instead of two one hour shows. m.imdb.com/title/tt3478...

Season 5 of #Grace finished. Enjoyable and i think they do a good job with the budget they have and i have soft for Brighton, so always looking to see where they filmed it. But plot holes aplenty and lots of things just happening by coincidence. m.imdb.com/title/tt1163...

Watched #Inception the other day, excuse being my wife had never seen it. Have dipped into over the years when i catch it on sky, but a full watch you remember what abloody good film it is and films recently with only one or two exceptions are nowhere near as well made. m.imdb.com/title/tt1375...

Bosch spin off #Ballard was solid without doing anything special. Maggie Q lead the show well with good support. Maybe the cast of Bosch dropping in occasionally felt a bit like a crowbar being used, but wasn't overdone. I'd watch a season 2 if done. m.imdb.com/title/tt2667...

Finished it off last night, I was not sure either to start with and there are lots of holes and criticism you could throw at it, but I did find it very enjoyable...but as already mentioned that's down a lot to Tom Hardy.

1966MJG @1966mjg.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

Finished it off, really enjoyed it, hope it's gets a second series. Close to end of Mobland as well, which ch certainly has some good moments, mostly involving Hardy.
