Bit late to the party, but just finished This City Is Ours.

Loved it.

Banksey has, potentially, a great back story.

Would love to see more of him and Bonehead.

Watched Sinners at the cinema. Enjoyed it even if it gets a bit weird in places. The young lad who plays Preacher Boy is incredibly talented and it’s a unique take on vampires. Reminded me of Dusk Til Dawn in a good way .

Want to watch Thinderbolts as I’ve heard it’s an actual half decent Marvel movie for once. Off to see Holy Grail at the cinema tonight looking forward to it.

Saw Sinners yesterday too. I thought it was alright…not amazing. It’s basically as you say.
I dunno how you do the Spoilers blur thing but thought there was a scene that was also pretty much lifted from a John Carpenter film.

The first trailer of Sinners didn't give any clues about what it was actually about.
Annoyingly I saw the second trailer and so I already knew the premise.

Thought it was really good anyway, I like that they followed the traditional "rules" of having to be invited in, etc

Yeah I wasn’t sure. I’d read stuff online so knew but my missus didn’t and I thought it was a nice twist for her so didn’t want to spoil it.

Anyway, watched Holy Grail at the Odeon last night, man that was a crowd. Let’s just say all the comic book shops were empty in Nuneaton from 4pm yesterday. Fun experience though, watching a movie everyone in the cinema knows and enjoys, the build up when you know a reference is coming, etc.

Has triggered me and the missus to get Odeon Unlimited £20/mo and you can watch anything apart from the live theatre/concert stuff they do and the unseen screen previews. Going to start just catching a movie when I’m bored, might do Thunderbolts today. Considering it’s the price of about two tickets and there’s a ton of movies coming up we want to watch seemed a no brainer.

I’ve long considered this. A bloke in work does it and says it’s really good.

Odeon limitless is an absolute steal.

Take your own snacks and drinks, and it's practically free if you enjoy cinema.

Edit: Screen/Scream Unseen are included in the limitless price.

Just a shame it has gone from fiction to a documentary now though.

Did watch Thunderbolts last night. It’s OK. Decent middle of the road fare that Marvel used to put out like Ant-Man or Dr Strange. Couple of tie ins but nothing too crazy. Florence Pugh carries it but it’s a fun low stakes superhero movie.

The Sound of Freedom.

Got recommended this one by a mate.

Based on a true story, Jim Caviezel plays an American law enforcement officer, who is involved in investigating and bringing to justice paedophiles in the USA.

During an investigation, he finds a massive paedophile operation, that is shipping kidnapped Hispanic children from the USA to a wealthy paedophile ring in South America.

His bosses attempt to shut him down, as it`s outside the USA, but with the help of wealthy reformed criminals, he sets up his own operation to smash the paedophile ring and rescue the kids.

Due to the truly subject matter, the film doesn`t do justice to what really happened, as they`ve tried to keep the viewing palatable for those watching and as result it feels like " there`s something missing " from the film.

I fully understand why they did this though, as there`s no way they could ever portray the reality of what went on.

I`d say, it`s a worthy attempt to try and portray the most abhorrent of subjects.

Thought David Harbour was fantastic as her dad and there was real chemistry between them.

He was funny as hell too.

You season 5 on Netflix. It's as ridiculous as ever and doesn't reach the heights of the earlier series, but I still thought it was pretty good.
Satisfying ending overall, and I'm glad it's not primarily set in the London anymore. The American vision of England was ridiculous

I think the film got shelved for years before it was released.

They were always onto a loser, because of the content and subject matter.

They`d be able to fully represent the full investigation if it was a book.

Which very surprisingly has never been written.

Bit late but thought Sweetpea was decent. Mildly comic with Jaring acts of extreme violence. Although it's one of those shows where you don't really know who you are supposed to be rooting for.

I`m a massive fan of his acting talents.

No one does overacting like the Cage monster.

Although his Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas which richly deserved too.

Yes, it was a terrible film but in The Wicker Man his overacting is the only thing that made it completely memorable.

The perfect cinema experience.

I quite often go and see a film when it comes out and if it`s a film that I love ( both Dune reboots, both Mad Max reboots and Blade Runner 2049 spring to mind ) I`ll wait until they`re just about to finish and then go and watch them midweek, at the first showing, so I get the place to myself.

It`s just the best way to watch a film second time around, as you get to fully concentrate and study the film, plus you see and hear loads that you missed on the first showing.
