CS - He's back in one of his old roles soon in the new Bridget Jones film

Agreed, its a watchable film, but nothing more, Grant has really come into his own since he ditched all the Romcom shit.

Watched Dogman (2023 one), if you like dogs, its a good way to spend a couple of hours.

Watched a horror film called The Damned with Joe Cole in it recently. Pretty good. 

Watched Back in Action last night on Netflix starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz who is on screen for the first time in ten odd years.  Think it was during the filming of this Foxx was taken ill, hence a 2025 release date.  It's ok, an enjoyable enough action flick.  I thought it was similar to the two RED films Bruce Willis did.  Thought Jamie Demetriou was very good and it also stars Glenn Close although was surprised Helen Mirren didn't pop up in that role!  Worth a watch if nothing else is on.

Looks like Warner Bros are putting a selection of their movies for FREE on Youtube to watch.

Watched a very good low budget Italian movie A Classic Horror Story with the gorgeous Matilda Lutz,  

Watched Nosferatu luciky at home for free. Very disapointed in what is basically the Dracula story with no additional  twists and a terrible ending, I wonder just why they made it in the first place. I thnk the 20s and 70s versions were better.

 

Red One: Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans star in this Christmas tale, trying to find the kidnapped Santa Claus and save Christmas. Sound familiar?
A pleasant way to pass the afternoon.

Nothing to do with West Ham.

Lake George - Good little crime thriller 

I thought Kraven was very good. 

Now looking forward to Nosferatu. 

Talking of Liam Neeson films: I thought Absolution was a pretty good watch! A couple of his more recent films, this one included, have been very watchable. The other one being ‘In the land of Saints and Sinners’

Never going to be a classic but worth a watch if you have some spare time and fancy an action film. 

Totally agree.
