"Project power spoilers... Not sure if it was explained how but she somehow naturally had powers so they took her to take her dna and figure out ""the pill"""

"I watched that Project Power, some good special effects but ultimately a bit of a popcorn no brainer. In fact I lost the plot a bit, why did they have his daughter?, did she really develop the formula?"

"Watched project power the new netflix film with jamie foxx and joseph gordon levitt, entertaining enough but the same story that's been done a hundred times before, man has to save his daughter from big corporation, just with a few random superpowers thrown in"

Great film that BRANDED son...

"Watched “Dark Waters” last night. It’s a film about DuPont dumping vast amounts of chemicals that cause cancers and other health problems including birth defects. Might sound grim and it is but it’s a real story based upon this article https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/10/magazine/the-lawyer-who-became-duponts-worst-nightmare.html This is a striking couple of paragraphs at the end of the article. Where scientists have tested for the presence of PFOA in the world, they have found it. PFOA is in the blood or vital organs of Atlantic salmon, swordfish, striped mullet, gray seals, common cormorants, Alaskan polar bears, brown pelicans, sea turtles, sea eagles, Midwestern bald eagles, California sea lions and Laysan albatrosses on Sand Island, a wildlife refuge on Midway Atoll, in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, about halfway between North America and Asia. ‘‘We see a situation,’’ Joe Kiger says, ‘‘that has gone from Washington Works, to statewide, to the United States, and now it’s everywhere, it’s global. We’ve taken the cap off something here. But it’s just not DuPont. Good God. There are 60,000 unregulated chemicals out there right now. We have no idea what we’re taking.’’"

The Nightingale... Errrr... you can see why people walked out the cinema... As graphic a film I have ever seen... but highly watchable

Very boring film. The story is brilliant but the film is dire.

"After watching the VJ stuff, I watched Midway - the recent one. 6/10 - plus points being that it’s an incredibly realistic portrayal (as confirmed by veterans), the performances of Woody Harrelson, Patrick Wilson and Dennis Quaid, plus it looks and sounds superb. Negatives being Ed Skrein in the lead role who simply cannot act at all, and some truly terrible attempts at an American accent (Skrein again, and Luke Evans)"

"Bought “ If Beale Street CouldTalk” , “ Outside the Law”and “Dark Waters” from FOPP in SoHo this afternoon. Looking forward to all of them."

"We also watched ""Greyhound"" the other night as I like Tom Hanks ..... Verdict ....Steer clear.(No pun Intended)"

"We also watched ""Greyhound"" the other night as I like Tom Hanks ..... Verdict ....Steer clear.(No pun Intended)"

"Finally got round to watching Greyhound. Have seen better, also far worse. Liked the way they got straight into the action pretty much from the start. Also probably some of the best special effects I've seen, maritime effects being notoriously difficult to replicate. Am looking forward to Christopher Nolan's new film, Tenet."

"Thought I would bump this after watching Al Pacino in ""Scarface"" last night. Absolutely no idea why I have never got round to watching it but for anyone who hasn't seen it - absolutely outstanding."

"Nagel 3:21 Tue Jul 21 I stand corrected, should have added the word ""good""!"

"""Play Ja Ja ding dong!"""

"Midnight Run is an absolute classic... by far the best comedy that De Niro has done... so many brilliant lines... `I'll tell you what: if you don't cooperate, you're gonna suffer from ""fistophobia"".` `You're goddamn right I am. Now here come two words for you: Shut the fuck up`. `You put Marvin on this case you fuckin' piece of shit? You fucking, deceptive - You VERMIN! You SLIMEBALL in a SEA of PUS!` Love the banter with Alonso Mozley... aka Agent Foster Grant !!!"

"Grodin was in around 40 films and I reckon at least 35 of them were comedies. Most of them weren't much good though, including notoriously bad films like Ishtar. The Heartbreak Kid is probably the best of the rest."

"medwayhammer1 8:33 Mon Jul 20 He came across as that but depending on which source you take I think a bit of poetic licence was used. Not sure but I ""think"" the brothers might have received their percentage IRL but it showed how brutal business can be. Midnight Run is fantastic. Charles Grodin is brilliant in it and not sure why he didn't do more comedies."

"Saw the Eurovision movie yesterday. Bit of a long form version of the Song For Europe, Father Ted episode, but made me chortle a few times, especially it's poking fun at the whole Eurovision thing. Plot wasn't too tricky to follow either."

It’s a couple of years old now but Hotel Mumbai is very good. An intelligent all action film.

I watched The Post tonight on Netflix. Hanks and Streep at their very best.

Midnight Run is just the bollocks. A must see for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Manip. I love that film

Ghosts of War well worth a watch

"zico 5:07 Mon Jul 20 Re: 2020 Movies Not new but stumbled across a film called The Founder last night which stars Michael Keaton as Ray Croc - and the film portrays the story of his creation of the McDonald's fast-food restaurant chain. Decent watch actually and always found Keaton quite under rated. Excellent film zico, like yourself stumbled upon it and thought I would give it a go and really enjoyed..bit of a cսnt old Ray wernet he!"
