The Lighthouse.

An engaging watch - not sure if I loved it or hated it, but it sucks you in, akin to Deliverance in that regard.

Made by A24, same folks who did The Witch, which I enjoyed a lot and was Anya Taylor-Joy's breakout role.

The first 3 were classics, the second one didn't age well imo, I confuse the others so much I'd have to search to remember which one is which

[justme]

the 3rd one was with Samuel L Jackon. simon says etc. I liked the second more than the first.. but been a while since i saw them. The last one ie the 5th was John McClane and his son was in it. Only watched it the once so it may be better the second time.But i thought it was naff on first viewing

Spiderman NWH. I'm in a small minority here but to me it was a huge disappointment. Boring in the middle and a pretty meh battle at the end.
Got around to watching Endgame though and was well impressed, I'd got a little tired of Marvel movies but this is great. Captain Marvel is absolutely next level beauty.

Started watching Book of Boba Fett. 2 episodes in and its as awesome as I would expect from the same team who write and direct Mando.

Kid loved the new spiderman and felt it was action packed.

For me it was a bit weird in that it felt like a group therapy session for the spidermxn and very much like a Hollywood direction on the superhero universe.

Tom Holland decrying a lack of diversity in the aftermath, spiderlass I suppose needed and in the film they pondered where's the black spiderman, Miles Morales.

So there's a very Hollywood feel to the film for me. Even the direction of we need to cure the badmxn rather than to fight them. A desire to eradicate the concept of evil when it comes to psychopathic criminal minds.

Yeah I know what you mean. If they were going to do the whole multivesrse thing ( something Im not overly loving) then Spider Gwen and Morales should have been in but an Into the Spiderverse sequel is due out this year.
I'm not keen on Holland, I find him irritating whereas Garfield and Maguire I like.

Literally everything was better before smart phones, they've ruined so many things. People say its better for things like streaming etc but for me personally I rarely watch movies now whereas when I was in my teens and into early 30s I'd watch them regularly.
I had hundreds of VHS and Dvd's of classic movies. I used to love going to places like HMV or virgin megastore and taking my time to pick some movies. You'd spend uninterrupted time watching them, taking time to watch everything in the movie,characters,script,scenes etc. No distractions. All part of the movie experience. Streaming doesn't do that for me now, there's too much choice if that makes sense?

Never got on my radar, that's an animated film/series, right ? Think they'd have to had an actual movie to get in on the act.

Spider Gwen :D the lack of invention is astounding. As said it had too much hollywood politics in it for my liking.

I'd put lego batman up against most of the big budget marvel/superhero genre. A great laugh 😃 All good movies start in black...

I didn't watch any of the series, but I did watch the last episode and also thought it definitely left a great deal of scope for follow ups, then so do a lot of other multi series programs

I think Game Of Thrones left scope but it will never happen and I'm still pissed off at the ridiculous way they chose to end it and that they rushed through so many things without all the machinations and machiavellian scheming and build up to them happening that had made the show so great. It left me feeling completely robbed and disenfranchised

Varys and Baelish were the prime Chess players in that show until the writing got stupid.

Such a shame.

I watched Taboo. Enjoyed it well enough but I and the same criticisms of it that, funnily enough, stopped me from watching Peaky Blinders some time back. Think Stephen Knight (could be mis-remembering the name) did writing on both, so that would make some sense that I have similar gripes with both.

Taboo was superb I thought, I really liked it. Second season in the offing for a while but not heard anything for ages. Tom Hardy and Stephen Graham probably too busy.

Where it slightly falls down for me (I did enjoy it too, overall) is in two areas - both due to Steven Knight (think it's the right name, he worked on Peaky as well)

1. Style over substance occasionally - so many shots of Tom Hardy stalking through London looking hard in his big coat. Granted, he pulls the look off, but I find it got stale. This happens in Peaky Blinders as well at times.

2. Main gripe (happens with Thomas Shelby in Peaky too) is the whole thing of the main character always playing 4D-Chess. The grand Masterplan (by default making acquaintances pawns in their Chess game) character ends up having a reductive effect on the influence of other characters. Largely just there to do what Thomas Shelby/James Delaney says.

These are nitpicks I know and I'll hold my hands up to the fact I can be very nitpicky with films/dramas, but if something is so close to brilliant I get a bit frustrated when it can't take that final step.

I came by - a bit of a real life horror movie set in London. Quite good though funnily enough most of the characters are flawed sjws. Worth a watch 👍

Vikings Valhalla - season 2 girl power - watchable at best, even better give it a skip.
A tragic effort after the vikings tv series. Just leaves me wanting to watch the original series which had some bad ass bitches. Some awful main characters, particularly freydis.

The crown - interesting cast of characters - princess anne seems quite cool - princess Margaret played by HelenaBonhamCarter seemed totally at odds with the younger actress - Charles, you'd drown him in a bathtub - didn't realise Philip was such a philanderer, Diana comes off as a right bore and the Queen seems most mundane in a charming way.
Declines with each passing season, perhaps due to the arrival of younger members.
Got to the start of the season with middle/older aged Charles but haven't gone back to it yet as it's like watching a migrane.

Benidorm - very enjoyable and entertaining, recently got a 50c coin with a benidorm red dragon branded sticker attached. Now residing in my collection of treasures.

Cost a concordia - a fun and fascinating documentary by internet historian, a youtuber,.telling the tale of the ships crash in the Mediterranean. A great wee channel.

Close to the end of my first "cycle"of chemotherapy, so I've been resting quite a bit recently.
Came across a good BBC Series from 2003 on UK TV / Dave - "State Of Play".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Play_(TV_series)
The Yanks made a film of the same name in 2009, I think it was, with Ben Affleck and Russell Crowe.
Yank film storyline is similar but not as much meat to it (90-120 minutes compared to 360 minutes plus).
Mystery/Thriller - right up my street.

Hope the chemo is going alright Redeb ?

2 weird recommendations

I'd recommend getting the entire Adam West batman tv series on dvd if you've time to spare in recovery.

And on golden pond if you want to drift off with a less intense/surreal theme

Used to be my Sunday recovery viewing after a rough weekend, when the brain was drained

I can remember watching some of the Adam West Batman series (was it in the 60s/70s?) - they were nicely light-hearted.
I really enjoyed the "recent" films with Christian Bale - meaty.
Chemo's up and down, I occasionally feel shit but mostly OK (ish!) - thanks for asking. The football, and this forum, keep my spirits up a lot. I've just bought a Liverpool Echo publication - Kings of Europe, celebrating 50 years of LFC in Europe. Really enjoy reading it - some good memories. I'm 69 so have some great memories to look back on.
Thanks, CCTV.

Good to hear Redeb, sounds like you are taking the chemo relatively well and are in good spirits. Hopefully you get the all clear and get to build on those great memories.
Some of you older lads have obviously seen LFC at its greatest and nice you've seen Klopp bring back the PL title and no6.
Those batman episodes are funny as fuck and very light hearted and comical. The dark Knight series was excellent, still second to the kerpow era for me.

[Nineteenx]

Watched 'The Martian' surprisingly entertaining

[vin]

I watched a film called "Vengeance" on Amazon. It's a directorial debut from a BJ Novak (The Office). Didn't really know what to expect but it was unexpectedly good.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/1GT1jFsNnPw

Also, I've been watching Breaking Bad while on the treadmill. I didn't watch it when it came out. I think it's a really good story.

[CCTV]

Gonna watch this Catastrophe, saw an episode and it looked funny enough.

[fiordearg]

Watched the Overlap on Tour. Roy Keane Carra and Neville in Ireland. Very funny.

[CCTV]

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - a rather enjoyable movie that pulled on the heart strings, a little lacking in some parts for consistency and quality of direction. But a definite worthwhile watch if you like all the superhero type movies.

[CCTV]

Dark waters - features the Hulk actor, and looks at the history of a lawyer up against dupont over the hazardous impacts of teflon. Slow enough paced, but a decent watch. Hadn't heard about this before.

[Martyboy]

I'm not a huge film watcher...Watched 'Cocaine Bear' the other week though...Wasn't bad...:)

[ianlfc]

Phoenix nights, Max and paddy, Partridge, Early doors, The Royale family. All brilliant box sets. Definitely the 90/00's comedies were the best.
Making of the mob(Chicago) unreal.

[teesred]

The Arnold Schwarzenegger three part documentary on Netflix is really good.

[Martyboy]

Watching 1970's 'The Water Margin' tv series....Bought the DVD set a few years ago,giving it a re-run atm....:)

Been watching "I, Claudius" on BBC iplayer. What a superb series. I've seen it before, many years ago and I'm finding I appreciate it more this time around.
How accurate do people think this is, to what went on in Rome back in those days?

I'll give that watch. I'm currently watching the Last Kingdom which is really good.

I remember a clip on the fast show where Caroline Aherne is a pub quiz compere and she asks the question "who starred in 1 Claudius".
Lolz.

[teesred]

I watched The Equaliser 3 at the cinema.
Quality as you'd expect from Big Denzel, Makes it a great trilogy.

[Nineteenx]

Watched the Denzel Washington week/season on Film 4 never bothered with any of his films years back as he was so constantly massively overhyped, but it was all pretty good to be fair

[ianlfc]

Love and death on ITVX. Based on a true story in America in the late 70s About a murder within a church congregation .
Let's just say, only in America.

[redebreck]

Watching Official Secrets (again) on BBC iplayer. Powerful little film supporting the claims that USA (supported by Blair) lied about Saddam Hussein having WMD.
Politicians and intelligence agencies, eh?

[Kev0909]

Saw X

really good family movie, great day out with the kids and grandparents etc in the cinemas

fully reccomend.

Watching "Old Dads" on Netflix.
I'm not sure, but possibly, maybe, this film rips the piss out of today's Woke culture.
Sorry if this offends anyone.
Seriously.

[redebreck]

Been watching Ozark on Netflix over the last few weeks. Its coming to the end - many of the main characters are being killed off!
Seems well made, but puts the USA (and Mexico) in a poor light.
Has anyone else watched it?

[teesred]

One that I keep meaning to start but keep forgetting to.

[ianlfc]

Ricky Gervais Armageddon. A proper comedy stand up, nobody got left out. Everyone got abused 🤣🤣

[eggy81]

Viking’s. The original history channel series. It’s on Amazon now. Epic for first 3 seasons anyway. Close to early game of thrones for me. Maybe not quite the shock value.

Wait I thought it was a different "vikings" haha

Watched "Lost", only saw a few episodes when I was younger got to watch it as a box set on Disney. Have to say I throughly enjoyed it

People who I've told who watched it back then, were all really disappointed with the ending of the series, must ask them why :)

[teesred]

I watched We own this City. Six parter about police corruption in Baltimore, true story too. Very good and I expected it to be as it's written and directed by the same guys who did The Wire which is probably my favorite show ever. Got lots of faces from the Wire in it too.
Well worth a watch.

The last season was a bit rushed. but was still good all around, Loved it.

[redebreck]

Too Good to be True.
Channel 5 catch-up.
Crap. So predictable. We could work out exactly what the main character, Elliott - a psychopath/sociopath - was like by the end of the second episode of four.
Stay away.

[ianlfc]

Our Guy in Columbia.
Guy Martin going around Columbia seeing what its all about.
Really enjoyed it also he's a really likeable character .

[redebreck]

In the Land of Saints and Sinners.
New on Netflix.
Liam Neeson. Cracking film, one of the best I've seen on Netflix.

[Insidious]

Dune Part Two.

All 6 of us in the cinema.

Loved it.

Watching Dexter. Saw it years ago but more focused watching it this time. Very bingeable & entertaining 👍

Watched part 1 a few weeks ago and thought it was really good. My son said part 2 is amazing so I'll watch that when it's in Netflix.
I've never seen the original Lynch one, have you?
