What film did you watch last night?

[biggs682]

@swee'pea99 glad you agree we have yet to watch Paddington 2 .

We watched the Elton John rocket Man last night which we also thought was good

 

[Smudge]

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2
Not as many laughs as the first one, but still enjoyable nonetheless. The 70's music was also welcome like the first.

Also watched Alice Through The Looking Glass.
Which was nowhere near as good as Tim Burton's previous Alice In Wonderland.

Last night was mockumentary night...

David Brent, Life on the Road followed by Kenny (2006)... an Australian film about a plumber who specialises in delivering and maintaining portable toilets to festival and other events. Documentary cameras follow Kenny as he juggles his family life with his excrement-soaked travails. Despite the off-putting synopsis, this utterly charming gem of a movie is recommend to everyone.

edit... looking at the cast on Wiki, it looks like Kenny's brother, dad and son are his real life family

Shane Jacobson as Kenny Smyth​

Clayton Jacobson as David Smyth​

Ronald Jacobson as Bill Smyth​

Jesse Jacobson as Jesse Smyth​

In the interval we watched an episode each of Cunk on Britain and W1A, but they're not films so I'll not mention them.

I went to the cinema and watched The Rise of Skywalker.
I’m not a Starwars mega fan. The film was formulaic and the ending fairly predictable. The franchise has run its course. There are only so many lightsaber fights and jumps to lightspeed that you can do. I would have liked a non standard ending but Disney could never do that.
It’s a 5/10 from me.

'Zootopia', with daughter

Surprisingly good!!!
With lots of little jokes, & at one point, in Chief Bogos office, a great dig at Frozen

Idris Elba totally nails it, as the Chief Of Police

Its called Zootropolis in the UK but it's the same film

I bought all the toys for this (from Home Bargains) for my youngest son, when the film first came out.

They were surprisingly cheap at the time, probably because the film flopped at the cinema.

I'm holding on to them though. Could be worth a bit in the future

Kenny is an absolutely brilliant film. Thanks for reminding me, I need to watch it again.
