What film did you watch last night?

[simongt]

it’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, plenty to laugh about in this one.

Still a complete madcap classic even all these years later.

Sicario 2, following the original last week. Both solid, somewhat thought-provoking and engaging action flicks centred around the US' meddling with its neighbours. Stories were decent, acting good, nice cinematography and a great, suitably ominous soundtrack.

I think I'd give them both 7.5 or 8 out of 10.

As an aside I watched these on Youtube where they're officially "free with ads"; or indeed "free without ads" if you have a decent ad-blocker.

IMO this is well worth checking out - there's a fair range of free offerings on there; ranging from absolute dross to some really decent films

War Machine on Netflix..

A definite @Drago special featuring Alan Ritchson (Reacher) as a soldier on a training mission that doesn't quite go to plan.

Think Predator but low on plot and acting ability 🤣

5/10

It was laughably bad wasn't it. At least the injured black dude had an easier ride with his script.

Admittedly it's 50 years since I saw it but I remember it being very funny. Top notch cast - pretty much all the comedy character actors of the day plus the likes of Spenser Tracey.

And when the survivors were 'flung' down the very steep slope getting bounced over hefty rocks etc., not over many injuries considering.
Just sayin'.

Part way through Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were Rabbit.
Any W & G film is always worth a watch - !

I don't need to say why you should watch this, awful time for Cambodia and they are still suffering the after effects today.

A friend's daughter worked in the Government as a barrister and was seconded to Cambodia a few years ago.

She came back saying that she had never been anywhere before where the sight of dead bodies lying unheeded in the street was treated as something entirely unremarkable.

A busy day yesterday so once cleaned up, sat on the bed relaxing, I'm gonna see what's on.
Prometheus...yep that'll do, seen it at least once but don't mind rewatching films. That did me perfectly till sleep time

The Killing Fields

Came home late and saw this was on, switched to the +1 and watched from start.

A very powerful film..

I watched and enjoyed it, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't bother to watch it again. Got rave reviews when it came out including a couple of Oscar nominations and one win, but really, it is a beautifully shot, fabulously acted, borefest ...

War Machine.

Reported as above. A cheap Predator rip-off.

4/10.

Just seen a preview of "Project Hail Mary". My son keeps enthusing about 70mm imax projections on a very large screen, but this is the 1st time I've appreciated quite how impressive it can be.
It helps that i enjoyed the movie too! I'll give it 4 out of 5.

The Naked Gun.

Absolutely woeful. Liam Neeson has none of Leslie Nielsen's comic timing, acting ability or charisma. Just appalling.

0/10.
