What film did you watch last night?

dune 2
much better than the david lynch effort as i found chamalet a more believable character , spreading over 2 films certainly gave it chance to work more of the story in although you can expect some changes like the fact that paul`s sister is still unborn at the end and paul kills the baron himself .Nit picking for sure

I'm not sure it is nit picking, that and Chani leaving Paul will make the story in the third movie deviate significantly from the cannon.

A man called Otto,
starring Tom Hanks. A rather beautiful comedy.

Ventoux,
2015. A movie about 4 friends who ride up the mountain like they did in their younger years. It's not just about the ride, but the whole story of their friendship and goings -on in their lives contrasting from when they were young to the current time. A Dutch movie with subtitles.

How was it? I've read the book and watched the original Swedish movie. Have they fully sanitised it? I don't understand why they had to change the name of the main character, what's wrong with Ove?

Dr No. still as great as the first time we saw it in ‘63.

I haven’t read the book or seen the original.
The Hanks movie was a sweet feel good film, I knew what would happen at the end as soon as the film began.
The suicide scenes were fairly well sanitised.

Joker: Folie a Deux - not as good as the first and a bit of a musical. Story really doesn't move on, but watchable.

Most of the Bond films are on Prime at the moment, I was almost tempted by From Russia With Love last night, my favourite Connery film.

Hitman 47

A man who works for an organisation that takes young children and trains them as assassins is chased across Europe by a British detective whilst his own organisation have now also decided to kill him.

It's pretty much John Wick without the over corergraphed fights.

5/10.

The recent 1 & 2 are both excellent films, watched them several times.

But I did also enjoy the previous efforts, not only the David Lynch one but also the Si-Fi Channel attempts. All have their limoitations but all good efforts to tell a complex story. Latest 2 part most successful so far.

never read the books so it was good to discover that stupid idea was a Lynch insert... my name is a weapon ...feck off!

The new Dune is just so much better than the 80s version, but the SciFy version is still my favourite.
