Concrete Cowboy

Directed by Rick Staub and starring Idris Elba, this film follows 15-year-old Cole (Caleb McLaughlin), who discovers the world of urban horseback riding when his mother sends him to North Philadelphia to live with his dad, Harp, played by Elba. Based on the novel Ghetto Cowboy by G Neri and co-written by Staub.

Can't take Idris seriously anymore after those cringe inducing Sky ads. I'd be expecting him to belt out a Christmas song at any minute.

Must check out Bitter Daisies. Will also be watching Sky High as Luis Tosar is great.

Bitter daisies is decent enough, I watched it a few years back when it was on netflix before.

Watched Run, as I really enjoyed Searching. No doubt director Aneesh Chaganty can put together a solid thriller, but alas this one doesn’t fully land. The biggest problem is that the directions the story goes in a way go against some of the things that make the initial setup so interesting. It’s predictable, yes, but in a way that undermines the characters in the process.

It doesn’t overstay its welcome at a tidy 85 mins or so, and there’s a propulsive pacing to it for the most part. One or two clever set pieces make great use out of the lead character’s limited mobility and sheer determination. Just don’t expect it to fully deliver on its intriguing setup.

Watched Liar Liar yesterday. Hadnt seen it since i was a teenager. Still hilarious.

In the name of the Father just added and I am going to watch it this weekend.

Also death becomes her has been added. Hilarious.

Haven’t seen death becomes her for years. Might be worth a rewatch.

It is still terrific fun.
I miss seeing Goldie Hawn in films

Bad Trip was good harmless silly fun..

.. some hits, some misses but unfortunately do think it would have worked best as a cinema movie with an audience. Shame!

Worth a watch for something daft and entertaining though.

Awakenings with Robin Williams and Robert Di Nero is excellent.

Turkish library.

If you happen to be in Turkey, you can watch it.

VPN yourself around the world and there happens to be a lot more content available on netflix.

I was probably the reason for this discussion. I just want to make it clear that when I asked what Turkish library meant, I thought it was a film or series. I tried to search for awakenings on Netflix and was so disappointed with the realisation that Turkish library was...etc

But i saw that the Mexican with Brad Pitt was added. Another film from my youth (well my early 20s) i love.

Awakenings is on Now TV, if you have that.

Watched sleepers today after it’d had been added earlier in the week and it’s great to finally rewatch it in full years after I’d first seen it. A few mentioned Dustin Hoffmanns performance and i can’t believe I forgot to mention him a couple of days ago, it was superb. Robert De Niro of course is superb and that final courtroom scene is the icing on the cake. And I’d forgotten about the airport shooting scene of the guard from the institution near the end. “They said he died of pneumonia. They said.”

Decided to give this a watch after hearing so many good reviews and it looks like I have previously watched the first 3 episodes and had started the fourth at some stage in the past few years although it’s only vaguely familiar. Really enjoying it though and the episodes are a perfect length for binging through a few each evening

peteeeed · 04-04-2021 04:55PM

highly recommend 'the last blockbuster' . plenty of nostalgia for those of use who rented VHS back in the day

dublin49 · 04-04-2021 06:20PM

watched Run last night.Its definitely worth a look with Sarah Paulson really good as usual.

Xaniaj · 04-04-2021 06:55PM

Thanks for the rec of The final girls, very very enjoyable, definite Cabin in the Wood vibes! Also checked out Run which was good overall but I wasn't sold on the ending.

Long weekend so I'll sneak a third movie in tomorrow!
