It has been out a couple of months, so won't be around at cinemas for much longer (I think that it still is at cinemas, says something about how good it is), but catch it when it appears on Netflix or your preferred streaming service. :) |
Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
I'm not sure if I mentioned Parasite in the 2019 movie thread, but I was reading the news this morning and noticed that it won best picture at the Oscars last night. I know some of you philistines don't like movies with subtitles, but this is definitely worth a watch

Highly recommended! |

Watched JoJo Rabbit the other day on a plane. Funny, Poignant, sad. Worth seeking out.
Also Terminator Dark Fate. Ok if you want to unhook your brain for a couple of hours but nothing more to it than that, |
Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
I went to the movies on Sunday and watched Guy Ritchie's new movie "The Gentlemen"
If you enjoyed Snatch & Lock stock, you will enjoy this. 9/10 from me. |
Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
Watched "Red Joan" last night. Based on a true story of a young woman who passed atomic secrets to the Russians in WW2, then finally got caught in 1999. It was OK, quite enjoyable way to pass an hour and a half.

Went to see 1917... don't understand what all the fuss is about.
The story is absurd, the characters one-dimensional and the whole thing is overly sentimental. The cinematography is very good but I felt I was watching the movie version of a play. Underwhelmed.

1917 is disappointing Jings! I had high hopes!

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
No new films, but watched Midnight Cowboy again as it's been put on Netflix. Probably a good 30 years since I first saw it (which is crazy, because it predates then) and it's definitely a lot more psychedelic than I remembered. Also interesting to see John Voight as a young man, and flashes of his future daugher Angelina Jolie in his eyes. In fact on one scene, Dustin Hoffman even foreshadowed his performance in as Rain Man. Movie making has definitely come a long way in the decades since Midnight Cowboy was made. Anyway, was glad to see it again.

Don't I know it! Gosh you have a good memory Bristol. I quite liked the episode, but there was a bit of a 'here we go again' feeling. A new but familiar plotline about to be rolled out, and Carrie solving it all. Anyway, looking forward to finishing the series.
Season 5 comes soon so that may resurrect past seasons, otherwise the usual unofficial streaming sites. |

I've not seen it yet but you should take a look for the French equivalent Le Bureau des Légendes (The Bureau) Once I discovered it, I was hooked and watched every episode so far without watching anything else. Never done that before.
