I need to catch up with some of these mentioned. Sounds like there’s some good entertainment around.

D/l'd the new Terminator film, not normally my cup of tea, but it was quite good! Arnie's Terminator after killing John Connor 30 years ago had no purpose but to carry on living and learnt to become more human, eventually marrying and starting a Drapery business. Sounds daft but Arnie carried it off quite well and the now-demure, old Arnie/T-2 was quite effecting, and sorry for what he had done. His last line was 'I won't be back...'

watched the gentlemen last night, good film, a bit slow and boring at first but eventually pace picked up, some great comic lines, I did think some c-unt ;) copied a few bits from other older movies though or so it seemed to me, the Russian high jacking car scene at the end is reminiscent of the long good Friday with bob Hoskins, hughs character and the way he spoke reminded me of ben kingsleys character in sexy beast for some odd reason

Ditto on scum, great film managed to get a copy on DVD years later, "where's your tool, what fooking tool, this fooking tool" :lol:

Do you remember by any chance "party party" film as well, hilarious

back to the gentlemen, sexy beast could so easily be mistaken for a guy Ritchie fill considering all the profanities, if you're a snowflake or easily offended don't watch this clip ;)

Bait, cracking movie, about contemporary Cornish Fisherman but filmed on an old 16mm hand cranked movie camera, audio dubbed later some poor acting and not much of a story but captivating to watch, like a 50's B&W movie about now!

Ooh liking this one very clever and probably some hard truths in there too.

Hesitating to suggest this today, of all days, but on the other hand ....


Dramatisation of the Wannsee Conference - based on the only known transcript to survive. Excellent cast - it was chilling to watch.
