Re: 2020 - movies seen this year

Went to see The Fabelmans at the weekend. There's a lot of hype about it being Spielberg's masterpiece but I found it quite underwhelming. Very very slow, no real character development, and at 2 and...

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year

Two cinema trips in the space of a week.

First, "My Old School" - Alan Cumming stars in a comedy/docudrama which is the bizarre but true story of a man who returned to his old high school just...

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year

We went to the actual cinema (hooray!!) and saw "Boiling Point", a fantastic new movie starring Stephen Graham as a very stressed chef in a high-pressure restaurant. Shot in one continuous take, both...

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year

I presume you're happy enough for Bond films to be set in the current times, see him playing with modern gadgets and so on. Do you think a modern-day James Bond would or should still have 1953...

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...

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

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

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...

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
