Wild Target starring Emily Blunt, Bill Night and Martin Freeman. This was a fantastic little ball of nonsense and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A veteran assassin finds it very difficult to carry out his latest target and gets caught up in a bit of a mess.

We Can Be Heroes was enjoyable enough. Another Rodriguez film like the Spy Kids films and Shark Boy and Lava Girl.

Just finished watching babyteeth. Little bit slow to start but an excellent movie and highly recommended by myself and the missus, wasn’t a word said or phone looked at throughout!

Enjoyed that tonight, also watching Messiah on and off to fill time, not bad.

Looking for something easy to watch and found it. Not the worst movie. Moves along at a good pace. Good enough cast.

RobAMerc · 02-01-2021 11:56PM

watching The end of the f***king world" - enjoyable
didnt think much of death to 2020, the queens gambit could have been knocked out in a movie - not 6 episodes imo. v slow, but at the end of it, when I look back, I enjoyed it

Watched Yes, God, Yes this evening. Enjoyable coming of age film about a devout Catholic teenager who finds themself dealing with "temptation" after seeing some naughty stuff in an AOL chat room (it's set in late 90s :pac:).

Natalia Dyer from Stranger Things is in the main role and it's written and directed by the same person who wrote the really good Obvious Child from a few years back.

Is breaking bad worth investing time in? Never seen any of it!

Also just finished. Lovely film. Reminded me of something you'd catch on TG4 or RTE 2 at about 11pm on a Wednesday evening back in the early-mid 2000s.

Watch the first episode and if that doesn't have you questioning Wtf is going on here then I wouldn't bother:D

Watched 'Babyteeth' this evening and really enjoyed it, an Australian film about a teenage girl with a terminal illness and dysfunctional parents falls for a drug addled boy. Unusual storyline but good script and well acted.

Bowlardo · 03-01-2021 02:55AM

Dredd is a great film. Hopefully it getting a run on Netflix and more people enjoying will result in them finally Making some sequels

Hercule Poirot · 03-01-2021 08:36AM

Watched Death to 2020 - it was a bit of a mixed bag, some of the characters were really funny but most of them were awful (ahem, Hugh Grant, ahem)

All Is True

After his beloved Globe Theatre is destroyed, legendary playwright William Shakespeare retires to Stratford-upon-Avon and his long-neglected family.

Another vote for Wild Target

We watched it last night and enjoyed it very much. Fun, light hearted, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

guapos · 03-01-2021 12:45PM

Has anyone watched Better than us? Is it a remake of Humans or does it bring something different.

Enjoyed Safe House and Good Morning Veronica although the latter goes off on one towards the end.

And Imelda May features heavily on the soundtrack.

One episode into Baptiste and I’m hooked!

Really liked it I have to say. The new season is coming this year seemingly to the BBC.
The missing (which Baptiste was a spin off from) is also really excellent if you haven't seen it

Basq · 03-01-2021 09:06PM

I absolutely loved 'The Missing' but heard such poor things about 'Baptiste' that I didn't bother watching when BBC aired it.

May watch after Cobra-Kai, which somehow managed to be equal parts brilliant / terrible / ridiculous / cringe / hilarious. Loving it!

Well after a day of doom and gloom I decided to watch Bridgerton with a whole different outlook ! I just relaxed and saw past the awfulness and actually enjoyed it .!! Its so bad its quite good!!

I hope it improves, just started the second episode and it seems a bit silly. Period dramas aren't my thing but I have watched and loved Downton Abbey.

We were going to watch Mosul but felt it’d be too serious of a watch... would anyone recommend it as it looks quite decent..

It'll pass an evening, not terrible.
One serious "WTF" moment that took from it.

The trailer looks good.

I really enjoyed it, maybe not as tightly scripted as the missing, but kept me gripped.

I have only watched a couple of Cobra Kai but it's a lot of fun.

Whestsidestory · 03-01-2021 10:14PM

Just finished part 2 of Sanpa, interesting story

fin12 · 03-01-2021 11:50PM

Semi pro (film) with Will Farrell and woody harlesson. Very funny. Would recommend.

Watched 2 episodes of C Kai a few months ago . Thought it was awful ( loved the Kk movies )
Went back to it at end of November . Watched two more . Same verdict
I REALLY want to like it . Does it get any better ? The acting is terrible .......

It's a lot of things but if you're watching it expecting good acting given it stars kids and a bunch of "Hollywood has-beens", you're definitely expecting too much!

It's good fun but William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence) is entertaining in it - it's light, breezy, cheesy and filled with nostalgia.

Maybe give it a few more episodes..
