Bit cryptic?

The Phantom Wheelie-Bin of Old Cottage Lane.

 

[GSV Ethics Gradient]

Knives Out on 4k - very cleverly constructed.

 

[GSV Ethics Gradient]

Raiders of the Lost Ark on 4k - still fun, but I don't think that the years have been especially kind to it!

Last Crusade is the best of the series - will be watching that soon.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on 4k. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it - great performance from Nicholson. Watched it 5 or 6 times in short order as it was part of my English course at school, introduced to it by the same teacher who played us Monty Python's Oscar Wilde sketch, which literally had me in tears.

Just about to watch Nuremberg on Sky Cinema. I hope it’s good.

An annual watch for me, along with other McDonagh brothers' films - Calvary. Top marks.

Bought a t-shirt off them which turned up yesterday! The Betamax one (watch whatever whenever).

20% off all items in January!

Turned out to be very good and much better than the trailers for it. Highly recommend.

Alien3 - a reasonably regular view. I know it's not popular (probably because Newt and Hicks were killed off), but I love the bleakness that pervades.

I like it.

Shaun of the Dead on 4k. Can't decide whether I prefer this or Hot Fuzz, but both great films.

Hot Fuzz for me.

 

[Angle Poise-Lamp]

Hot Fuzz for me.

Hot Fuzz for me too. Not just the better film for me but, I was born in and grew-up near Wells where it was filmed so, I know all the locations and, my mother worked for a number of years in the supermarket, which was then a Somerfield.

Watched the trilogy again tonight. Hot Fuzz gets top marks from me, and Shaun and The World's End both get 9/10.

 

[GSV Ethics Gradient]

The Zone of Interest from C4 - mostly excellent, but I'm not entirely sure about how it ended. Will need to rewatch at some stage.

 

[GSV Ethics Gradient]

One Life - it'll be on iPlayer- Anthony Hopkins as a stockbroker who organises the rescue of nearly 700 Czech children just as WW2 breaks out. Great performance from him as the man in later life still struggling to come to terms with things.

Suffers just a tiny bit from what often affects films dealing with very sensitive subject matter in that they have a single, very serious tone throughout, but the end is beautiful.

Agreed..and certainly a fine performance from Mr. Hopkins
