Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
The fith element. Very dated and the effects were quite funny. Like a lot of films, it hasn't stood the test of time.

Watched a few films over the last few weeks...Daughter was home from Uni so it was Netflix 🙄
Started with Fair Play about a couple who's relationship starts to go off the rails,set in America.Meant to be a tense thriller...I nodded off.
Reptile...Starring Benicio Del Torro always a bonus ! He plays a cop trying to solve a murder where nothing is as it seems.Worth a watch I thought.
Tonight's viewing is the classic,well one of my favourites Witchfinder General !
Went to a stage show Scarred For Life last night about folk horror so seems as good a pick as any,like I need a excuse to watch it for the 10th time.

One of my favourite films of all time!
Witchfinder General is class, Vincent Price is on top form with a typically OTT performance. I once described his acting as almost camp, but I think very theatrical is probably a better choice.

You don't realise how dark that film was,all those folk horror films,TV shows from the late 60s and 70s were mad ! I know most people's favourite was the Wicker Man but for me it was Witchfinder General.
Did you watch the sitcom The Witchfinder on BBC ? Thought it was good.
Never heard of that, just seen it on iplayer though so I'll give it a go.
It's a tough choice but I think The Wicker Man just shades it for me, although if you look at the British horror Facebook groups most seem to go mad for The Blood on Satan's Claw, proper loopy. 😂

I think I've been reading their marvellous twitter feed for a while - lots of clips of old public safety films (amongst other things!). And they have a podcast (with people like Muriel Gray!). Of course these may be unrelated things ...

King Richard.
Will Smith plays the father of Serena and Venus Williams, the tennis stars. It shows the tennis players' younger years. Highly recommended and Will's acting is spot on and the other actors work well too.
Rogue One. Yes, the Star Wars trilogy. Or whatever word you use for however many movies make up the Star Wars franchise these days. What happened between parts 2 and 3? Watch Rogue One. Want to know what happened before part one or how Bobba Fet can about or what Han Solo was like as a lad? There's a movie or even TV shows for you! I stayed away from most of them but Rogue One was pretty watchable.

Beyond Justice (1991)
An Italian film with ropey camera work, a score from the 1960s, and overall production of a similar time.
A wealthy American woman's son is kidnapped by his estranged Arab father and taken to Morocco to live with his tribe, so she hires an ex CIA agent to get him back.
Rutger Hauer is the man who gets the job done, he never seemed to get the same action hero status as others of the same era but always does a much more believable job without any theatricals, unfortunately he can't save this film from being a bit dire though, even with Omar Sharif in there as well.
4/10.
