I haven't watched it yet, but it is now available on iPlayer. I think I will watch it over 2 evenings rather than trying to sit still for 3 hours!
What film did you watch last night?

‘Ship With Wings’, 1941. Swipe through the first hour and ten minutes to catch period footage of Gladiators, Swordfish et al, then watch the remainder for the glorious model work in a British carrier attack against the Italians (not Taranto).

The Package (2012) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Package_(2012_film)
Complete drivel. I doubt the budget was as high as £4.47. I want my 1h30 back.
Even AI storylines and scripts would be better than this twaddle.
If I'd been watching on my TV I wouldn't have lasted.

Look-up "bitter sweet" in an Irish encylcopedia - this is it. Worthy "successor" to In Bruges (and about time!)
Great film. Couple of look away now moments, but otherwise hugely enjoyable, with some very funny moments, all very understated.

I have managed to see several bits of ‘In Bruges’, but never the whole film.

John Wick 4
Kinda fun. Could probably have been edited down to 90 minutes and been an excellent film. Don't expect anything new after the others (or indeed if you've only watched the first one!) I'd rather rewatch the first film, in hindsight.
I'd say they're the best fight scenes you'll see this year buuuuuut .. all those people being shot at point-blank range and shrugging it off stretched the suspension-of-disbelief thing just a little too much :-( Perhaps it needed to be put to bed. RIP!

That was pretty much my review at the time. Would have been far superior if cut down to 90 minutes. Far too much repetition.

Pretty much the same as "Ballerina" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballerina_(2025_film) a sort of spin-off film with less active appearances from John Wick (Keanu Reeves).

I think I made a good move dodging that bullet!
Get Carter and The Long Good Friday are bookends to a particular era, most of it during the 1970s. The fact that they made this social commentary through the medium of the gangster flic is commendable.
I think of it as the era that started with exposed water pipes and Ascot gas water heaters in the kitchen, and ended with universal central heating and double glazing.
