MOVIES 2019 BEFORE AND AFTER
|
MOVIES 2019 BEFORE AND AFTER I love watching movies so I am going use this space waffle on about what I have seen and enjoyed or not as the case may be. Had watch The Gentleman again and now I have it on DVD, it really is that good. I finished watching McMafia last night and am having withdrawal symptoms already, loved Alex's quiet transformations to get done what needed to be done, brilliantly acted. Am now watching Normal People which I discovered while researching what live sex chat shows there are out there, episodes in and the lead are quite enthralling watch. Like everyone else during lock down I have been watching a few series that had not been picked up on my radar, Mistresses which was Ok but I got bored with the drama and Killing Eve , this I am enjoying immensely, murders solve and travel from your settee, the main characters are so immersed in their subjects it is eerily disturbing with comedic twists. There is a lot of dross around at the moment so finding something worth watching has become more of a favorite pass time of mine than ever before, thank goodness for Peaky Blinders which is not only excellent<b> viewing </font></b>but men in suits with attitude will always have my undivided attention, they even make smoking look sexy. Another very high scorer in my book goes out The Gentlemen,, an intelligent, funny, beautifully put together and the choice of cast excellent, it was a pleasure to go the new movie complex and a lot more than I normally do, watch a movie that is instantly addictive, from the dialogue the very adult humour and even a respect and decency that has been lost from so called polite society of today. It is a grown ups movie from another time and a total delight that I shall be pursuing again and again, it moves, arouses and delights on so many levels. And where the hell has Charlie Hunnam been hiding and as for Hugh Grant, this part was written for him and has allowed him to become the fully fledged actor that he has always been on the verge of but not quite, a beautiful birth of naughtiness and wickedness. Actually got a decent copy of Venom and absolutely loved it, the humour and the action and of course delicious Tom Hardy. Cannot believe I have only just discovered Younger , I have gourged myself on the first 5 seasons and just cannot get enough, the team from satc have definitely done it again. Love, love, love Captain Marvel, anything to take our minds off of the monotonous routine of our daily lives and the boredom that is, especially at the moment, being a British subject. GoT, WTF, have the writers lost the plot or has the plot lost the writers, what an absolute mess, after all the character building, plot building, no matter how heartbreaking, there was a flow of continuity and a semblance of fictitious believability kept us hooked. Now there is just emptiness.....do we even want to watch the last part, as we as fans, have been so betrayed. GoT.....what are we gonna do when this comes to an end....I know go back to the beginning and catch all the bits i missed first time round, at least until Last Kingdom, Vikings or Outlander comes bac I cannot praise Star Trek Discovery enough, season 2 has encapsulated every emotion and takes one on an adventure every outing, I really did hope we would be this civilised by now, maybe I will come back in 500 and we might be there, at least if I can join Star Fleet I will be happy. I recently saw Bird Box with Sandra Bullock, I do enjoy her movies and this was no exception, edge of your seat stuff and is any body watching Knightfall so wonderful see Mark Hamill in a marvellous role, I always thought he was a much under acknowledged actor and I do adore the Knight Templars, again a romanticising of a bygone age, where men were men and............ As for the new episode of GoT, well always confused, can never remember who is related to who and how, but the characters are glorious and the dragons, bring on the dragons. Why do I love the Transformers movies so, Bumblebee was amazing, I am just a big really and what is it about submarine movies I love??? I have just watched the Green Book, what an amazing moving movie, I laughed and cried, absolutely wonderful, anybody need a movie critic, what a dream job. Sean Evans continues to encapsulate Morse brilliantly along with a convincing cast and story lines. I do enjoy period dramas and Mary Queen of Scots was very good, The Favourite however, I just skipped through in the hope of finding something worthwhile it was lousy, noisy and a waste of some very good talent. Bradley Cooper and Lady Ga Ga need a vehicle of their own to make their own not a bad remake of something already over done on so many levels, do we really need another reminder of the destruction of drug and alcohol , let alone the degrading and emotional turmoil that ensues. Anybody else watching Strike Back, very addictive. Robert Redford what a cool guy, even at eighty something, his presence, his ease and grace with a gun robbing banks, what an absolute delight. Aquaman what an absolute whirlwind of a movie, I shall definitely be watching it again...and probably again. Bohemian Rhapsody Wow what an adrenalin rush, or perhaps its just the love of a band and a man with so much talent who has carried me through most of my life, the highs and the lows. Fantastic Beasts 2 - Very disappointed and what has Johhny Depp done to himself? The House with a clock in its walls I thoroughly enjoyed, twice, mind you I do have a soft spot for Jack Blac I am a James Bond Fanatic and love most of the movies, my favourite Bond, Daniel is very watchable and Pierce was very convincing, Skyfall is my favourite....so far. Sci Fi really does it for me Star trek will always be my first love but I enjoyed the Han Solo movie, it reminded me very much of the first Star Wars movies. Star Trek Discovery is fantastic, I know its not a movie but its my blog lol Anything do with Sherlock Holmes or Shakespeare always gets my attention. I am always on the lookout for the ones go under the radar and deserve attention, Hampstead last year was quite beautiful as was This Beautiful Fantastic. I did not enjoy The Shape of Water at all, although the graphics were amazing. Hugh Jackman though RULES along with the rest of the cast of Showman of course, I have lost count how many time I have seen this movie and I shall continue do so. Anything out of this world will always interest , I watched Attraction recently and if you fancy jumping into an ET's skin this is a must. |

I too love the movies especially scifi. But the whole movie going experience is great. I saw the Queen movie bohemian rhapsody recently and that was good fun. Do you do the marvel stuff? I also listen to a great movie podcast from the bbc. Just search for kermode and mayo podcast. Its really good.

I recently enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody. I have always enjoyed Queen and learned alot about Freddy Mercury. I never knew that he stuck out on his own and did solo albums! As you may have guessed...I enjoy westerns! I just saw "The Mule" with Clint Eastwood...what a good flick! I also saw Hostels when it was in the theater a while back. That one was Great!! And it had references to Montana in it.

There is a documentary on NetFlix called "Sad Hill" Unearthed... It is about the 50th anniversary of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and how a bunch of local Spaniards, along with lots of help from others, found the Sad Hill cemetery filming location and restored it! What an awesome tribute to an old Clint Eastwood legacy. Hard to believe that "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is 52 years old!!!

Keep an eye out for Lady Bird, I saw it twice last year, an excellent drama focusing on a mother, daughter relationship and Religion in small town America. Sounds dry but it is an excellent film...

If you really like SciFi, and Star Trek, then check out the tv series Babylon5 with Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian and all the rest of the cast. It is my favorite, even over Star Trek DS9, which was my favorite Star Trek series.

Hi Lance, Yes discovered Babylon 5 years ago and eveything in between, thankfully there are still many programms that I have yet to discover and even more that are in the pipeline. It is an exciting time being a SciFi avid watcher and seeker. My favourite atm is Star Trek Discovery, blows my mind every episode and I have serious withdrawal.
