I saw it at the cinema before covid Thought it banal. Sorry. :(

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I watched this move this afternoon, "The Dig" based on the true story of the excavation of sutton hoo

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3661210/'

Solid 7/10 from me.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

We watched The Dig yesterday... a perfectly pleasant "Sunday afternoon film". Sutton Hoo isn't that far from us, a very interesting place to visit.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I just watched the his and agree. Fantastic movie and well acted!

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Same reaction. Really enjoyed it. Haven't been to the site, but was incredibly impressed with the craftsmanship of the AS jewlery in the BM. Also thought RF did a supberb acting job (as usual).

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Same for The Dig. Also another was Palmer in the same vein.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

White Tiger. Netflix. Interesting and funny Indian drama about a servant's journey to freedom.



Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Greenland on Prime. Gerard Butler end of the world survival saga. Gloriously crap in a watchable way.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

This was absolutely awful. Worst movie I have watched in ages, and it was over 2hrs.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Straight Outta Compton (Netflix)

Been meaning to see for a while. Watched it in a few sessions. Interesting to see the formation of a genre that I dismissed as a fad at the time.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Bliss - Awful
Supernova (2020) - Very good watch
Blithe Spirit - Stick with the Margaret Rutherford version
I Care a Lot - Yet to watch

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I watched this last night on Amazon prime and I really enjoyed it.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Looks interesting...I shall take a look tonight. Thanks.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I enjoyed the film. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

"I'm thinking of ending things"

I don't stop watching many movies, but I could not make it past the initial 25 minutes of them talking in the car. Not for me, and it was filmed in a really weird aspect ratio. I turned off and watched this instead 'Red Dot" much more entertaining.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Very good film, but needs to be watched in its entirety to be understood.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

We watched The White Tiger last night and it was absolutely outstanding. If you liked Parasite you will like this movie too. Recommended.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

And if you liked Parasite you will love 'Old Boy', it is one of the best Korean movies I have ever seen. It's part of the The Vengeance Trilogy.

If you Google it, watch out for spoilers.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Will check that out, thanks for the heads up

The White Tiger isn't a Korean movie, it's Indian, but a (very broadly) similar theme to Parasite, a poor outsider working his way into a rich family. It's really great stuff.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I watched this last night, absolutely brilliant. If you liked John Wick, you will enjoy this.
Available at all good torrent sites ;)

Nomadland. Understated. Melancholy.

Ironically, won't be investing in a van anytime soon.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I've tried to watch that twice. Hard to get into.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Hubby keeps saying he would like to see it. Not my kind of movie though…so I guess he will not be watching it anytime soon. :sneaky: :D

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Manchester United did that and it's not been going very well so far.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Understandable. Surprised it won the academy award.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Stowaway on Netflix. Another of the space survival genre, but I enjoyed it. 8/10.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I watched "the wrath of man" the other night, a Guy Ritchie movie. Pretty enjoyable.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I reviewed this last week over in The Lounge. Not a brilliant movie, but entertaining and worth watching.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Stowaway on Netflix, great cast, absolutely awful plot.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I watched The Suicide Squad last night. Good Lord it was violent, extremely gory but in a comedic kind of way.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Ludicrous, but fun. And I never get tired of Margot Robbie.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Talking of whom, this weekend I finally made time to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I'm not exaggerating to say that it is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. Absolutely tremendous stuff.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

Talking of Tarantino movies, my Daughter watched Pulp Fiction the other week and now she gets why I still recite lines from a 27 year old movie on a daily basis. For example, when I am sweeping the floor and she is in the way, I ask her to "step aside Butch" or when she is playing deaf I shout "do you hear me talking hillbilly boy" at her :lol:

I love that movie.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I watched the latest James Bond the other night - No time to die. I thought it was good.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I wasn’t keen, but I am not really a JB fan anyway.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I'm only really interested in his wrist watch, his car, and whatever gadgets Q gives him. Can't wait to see who they got lined up for the next 007.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

If you Van Morrison you’ll like Belfast.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
 

I never understand why it has to be 007. I mean all this talk about black or female actors. We already know there are Double-O agents (Sean Bean was a 006) and we have already seen a replacement 007 for the period Bond was inactive and we've had white and black actors playing Felix and male and female as "M".
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. with Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin was supplemented by The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. with April Dancer. Mission Impossible has successfully been rebooted with a completely different character in Ethan Hunt compared to original Jim Phelps.

There's even been a Jason Bourne movie without Jason Bourne. :lol:

I think Daniel Craig has been utterly brilliant as Bond and acting wise, as well as character wise, why not retire the number 007 just as sports teams retire a number worn by a legend?

There are 8 other Double-Os to be used or they could even come up with a different name in rebranding; my main civil service grade had three different names in my DSS/DWP days, but no gadgets better than this.



I'm sure the Intelligence Services can think of something different to call their top agents.
