What film did you watch last night?

[Saluki]

Agree with both recommendations. One is a standard spy movie, yet has enough brilliant moments to transcend the genre, not least the knife incident you mention. Geena Davis is great in the lead role, and apart from having ninja warrior skills acts like a normal woman, and doesn't look like a Bond girl. And Samuel L Jackson not playing the tough guy for a change. Great stuff !

Field of dreams - sentimental tosh of course, yet has a magic about it and brings a tear to my eye despite not being in the slightest interested in rounders.

I have upset a few Americans by calling Baseball, Rounders and pointing out that, in the UK that it's played by school children and mostly girls at that

It's a shame to waste the open goals though isn't it ?

Hubster said that 'Yank-baiting' is not a fair sport, as they mostly turn up unarmed . Bless.

An American colleague, who's lived here a long time and married a Brit said she still had to remember that if she was mocked or been rude to by friends it was because they liked her and she was "in the gang"

Bit simple, but good hearted & 'one of us'...

KIds watched Maleficent. Disney stuff used to be far simpler in my day - good was good and evil was evil but not any more!

I have found Bicentennial Man on Sony +1 (Field of Dreams has finished now). It's one of those films that I have never seen, I've missed the first 45 mins but such is life.

Watched "The Man who shot Liberty Vallance" earlier today.
Can't beat "The Duke".

One of my favourite Asimovs, and yet another example of the book over the film. Sadly.

Nothing, but nothing can quite descend as low as Will Smith's Detective Spooner though.

Just watched Far from the madding crowd.
6/ 10 it gets an extra point because the children left me to it.

Don't forget Brian Cox, he's tremendously funny in TLKG and that 20 year-old part seems to have kick started his career in America. It's usually a good film if Brian Cox is in it. Older viewers may remember his tremendous punch up with Minder on the top deck of a bus.

Just saw Laugh Killer Laugh, an excellent black humour gangster thriller.

Didn't get very good reviews on the 'net, but I thought it was worth 9/10.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Mockingjay, Part 2.

Quite enjoyed it actually. Lots of political manoeuvring, less physical action than previous films. 8/10

Forrest Gump

 

[John the Monkey]

Clerks

Seemed, to me, to be a large portion of smug glibness, with a leavening of decent jokes that occasionally raised a smirk. Didn't much like the characters, and failed to understand how in the name of all that's holy, Jay and Silent Bob became a spin off.
