What film did you watch last night?

[Saluki]

Hubster has found Mortdecai on Netflix/NowTV or something.
If anyone is thinking of watching it, it's remorselessly unfunny. I keep looking at it, hoping that Johnny Depp's performance will improve. I am surprised that Paul Bettany and Ewan McGregor didn't insist that their names were removed from the credits, let alone Jeff Goldblum.

Just looked it up on Rotten Tomatoes. Oh dear.

Having said all that, I watched Edge of Reason the other night. Tom Cruise dying, repeatedly was very satisfying.

Bone Tomahawk - 8/10

Inbred cannibal gruesomeness. If you ever want to see a guy get scalped and have his scalp fed to him before being ripped in half then this is the film for you!

We're watching The Man in the High Tower at the moment. It's an Amazon original based on a Philip K Dick book about America after the Nazis win WWII, Pretty good actually, great sets and mostly decent acting.

McGregor was happy enough with the Phantom Menace et al, a chap has to eat/add a conservatory to the east wing after all.

sounds interesting... I'll have a look out for that.

You've just reminded me of an excellent TV drama a watched a couple of months ago... can't recall the title but will have by the time i've typed this. Filmed and set in the late 70s, the story follows the production crew of a TV drama (Sullivans type thing) and it's getting a bit sticky when they try to depict the characters accurately at the start of the second world war... because in 1977, Britain has been a province of Germany since the 1940s and the accurate depictions are considered disloyal to the government... can't for the life of me recall what it's called though.

Last night i finished watching series three of The Bridge/Bron?Broen! ...no comment so no spoilers

edit... An Englishman's Castle

Badlands - just terrific. Charlie Sheen is great...

Martin Sheen, surely?

They're both in it.

I find it difficult to express my admiration for that film too...

It's brilliant. Basically an extended car chase, which sounds lame but it's absolutely quality.

I liked Mel Gibson as Mad Max and before he became a nobber: how doesTom Hardy fare?

I'm watching Carry on Screaming at the moment which is a way more entertaining film.......

He barely has any lines which is a good thing. Charlize Theron is the main focus.

i thought he was fine... Fury Road is basically a remake of the 2nd half of Mad Max 2... but it's still a hell of a lot of a fun if you want a proper MadMax film... shy on plot and character, heavy on vehicles, speed, stunts and bangs
