Intense portrayal of the CIA's hunt for radical Islamic terrorists in Jordanie. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, directed by Ridley Scott.
- How To Be Single (2016)
Mediocre comedy drama about a group of New York based young adults going in- and out of different relationships. Starring Dakota (daughter of Don) Johnson and Rebel Wilson as the comical sidekick.

Witch Hunt - I just wanted something naff that I could stare through before bed. So when I saw a film called Witch Hunt from 2021 on the horror channel I thought it would be the perfect pile of crap. Instead I got a very thoughtful, interesting modern day witch trials flick. I'm well impressed! 8/10

Skyfall - I am so glad this wasn't my first Daniel Craig Bond film as I don't think I would've bothered with the other 2 I've seen and really enjoyed Casino Royale and Spectre. It was the first time I've watched any Bond that felt like a massive chore. And those running scenes were proper cringe. Tom Cruise coulda done three laps in the time he took to do one. I only woke up in that end section when the majestic Albert Finney appeared. 3/10

I thought Skyfall was Daniel Craig's best Bond film it also gave us an insight in to his past, I agree the running scenes were poor but there's always something in most movies that makes you cringe a little Posts: 315 | Registered: Sep 2019 | Site Updates: 0

Interesting. I haven't seen any Bond films since roger Moore.
Saw forever purge. Some of it anyways. Predictable. Didn't interest me enough to make it through it to the end.
American Psycho. Pretty stupid except for the line by the psycho about having to return some videos.
I am apparently bored out of my mind watching these newer movies. Perhaps I'll stick with pre 1991 movies from now on.
Also saw a lot of Phonebooth. Super stupid movie. Stay away. Forest Whitaker was awful in this.

Phonebooth was poor, I watched it once on release but never felt like giving it another go.

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel
From 2009, it's a bloody lovely little movie where a couple of nerds (sorry, imagineers) and their cynical but equally pathetic friend discover that time travel isn't really all it's cracked up to be.

Done on the first take, by a regular member of the crew because the stunt driver was scared to try it....

Decent but standard action fare, with a La Femme Nikita type of story, somewhat elevated by A-list performers Jessica Chastain, John Malkovich, Colin Farrell, and Geena Davis (who has precious little to do as the titular character's hospital-bound mother, even though she proved to be quite the a$$kicker when she starred in The Long Kiss Goodnight).
The War With Grandpa (2020)
Okay comedy with an elderly Robert De Niro moving in with his daughter's family setting off some sort of turf war with his young grandson. Some laugh out loud moments when the two constantly try to outsmart each other and the family home gets demolished in the process. The film reunites De Niro and Uma Thurman (Mad Dog & Glory), De Niro and Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter), and De Niro and Cheech Marin (Machete). Hilarious funeral scene has De Niro accidentally dropping his cell phone in to the deceased's coffin while Marin tries to hook up with a woman who -unbeknownst to him- is the deceased's wife.
Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas (2021)
Feature-length follow-up to the (at times painfully woke) TV series about a San Francisco computer programmer who is able to hear people's inner thoughts by way of heart songs. Zoey and her family are preparing for their first Christmas without her father who passed away due to a rare neurological disease (as seen in the first season's final episode). Jane Levy shines (as she did in the TV series) as the slightly neurotic Zoey Clarke, Mary Steenburgen returns as Zoey's mom, Bernadette Peters as mom's best friend, and Peter Gallagher (as Zoey's dad) makes a guest appearance.
One tiny bit of historical inaccuracy occurs when the family is discussing the last time it snowed in San Francisco, which -as it turned out to be- was in 1976. Maggie (Zoey's mom) remembers coming out from a Grateful Dead concert at Winterland but couldn't figure out whether the snow was real or imaginitive as she was high on dope. The Grateful Dead played Winterland many times, most famously in '74, '77, and '78, but NOT in 1976, so i guess mom was too high after all.
