The trailer looks like it's an enjoyable romp. It also looks very familiar and I'm wondering if I've seen it and forgotten.
What film did you watch last night?

The tv guide showed that the fillum Nobody was on the Beeb. Not having a tv licence I watched it on Netflix instead. Very black humour in this violent comedy thriller - the scene where the russian gangsters pull guns on Hutch Mansell only for him to then reveal the Claymore AP mine he is holding had me tittering. Pleased to see Nobody 2 is due this year.
Christopher Lloyd is typically brilliant as the OAP who near the end also turns out to be badass and surprises two assassin's with the shotgun he keeps under his blanket.
Not much plot, and what plot there is exists as a vehicle to link one stylishly violent scene to the next. But watch it for what it is, a violent comedy thriller, and set expectations accordingly it's pretty good.
7.5/10 on the Drago scale.

Arthur then addresses the German as "Taffy" later on, as a continuation of the gag.

Moana 2 - 8/10
Just as much fun and visually brilliant as the first one. A little bit darker too in places which is never a bad thing.
I also think it's very cool that they've done Polynesian dubs and The Rock hasn't had to Americanise his accent to play Maui.

It has its darker/segregation era moments too
The Bar segment has a very different style of playing

I watched last night and I'd agree.
One weird thing I've never seen before was whenever there was a scene where they were drinking and small banner appeared bottom left along the lines of "Drinking can be bad for your health". Similarly when smoking in a scene another warning appearing. Was watching at a friend's house so not certain if DVD or subscription service.

Entertaining but derivative. John Wick meets A History of Violence. Back in the day, this would have been a straight-to-vhs vehicle for Steven Seagal but fortunately the cast is made up of actors.
I think I might have watched Nobody a while ago but it wasn't very memorable, if it's the one I'm thinking of does it have this type of plot -
An everyday bloke's family/pet/friend is attacked by a gang of nasty boys, and it turns out that normal bloke is really an ex navy seal/green beret/SAS who sets out for revenge.
With such a unique story as that I'm surprised that I don't remember much about it. 😂

No, it has virtually no plot and what plot it does have is the reverse...
Retired CIA assassin feels repressed living a normal 9 to 5 life and suddenly snaps, badly slapping a gang of youths as he does. Unfortunately one of those yoofs is related to a Russian mobster who gets jolly upset, and thus an escalating tit-for-tat of part thriller/part comedy violence ensues.

Better Man @ the local flicks last night (The Brewery, Kendal).
Fantastic, cleverly told tale of fame induced addiction, recovery and humility.
Great CGI, soundtrack was cleverly edited in places.
Quite an emotional film to watch.
Not a big Robbie fan, although Angels, Feel etc were cracking tracks imo.
I have always thought of him as a bit of a twat but my opinion has now been 100% reversed.
Definitely a big screen watch to do it justice.

One of the best/most thought provoking film I've seen in the whole "you killed my pet/family" genre is Red starring Brian Cox. Definitely recommended.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Probably the best Bond film of them all and the music composition is just perfect for the Ski chase. Diana Rigg a fantastic performance, Telly Savalis a great villain and Lazenby a good performance as Bond.

I've written before about A.T.M.O.M.
I think the first half of the book is an absolute masterpiece in the way it sets a forbidding mysterious scene; but for me it lost all appeal when they go underground in the city and the story turns into a weird lesson in lovecraftian history.
I might have seen that one, older bloke living in a log cabin somewhere semi rural whose dog is killed by a spoilt rich kid?
