Madeleine Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Downton Abbey - A New Era - enjoyable as ever, in that rather rushed Downton way! Spoiler But sad to see Violet passing away, though she still had a great final line. Quote
poppy Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Watched 'Where the Crawdads Sing', enjoyed it but do think the book is better. 1 Quote
Madeleine Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Saw it in the cinema, superb. Not sure why I posted this, as I haven't seen Crawdads! Maybe it refers to an earlier post? Edited June 17, 2023 by Madeleine Quote
poppy Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 Watched Mr Holmes today, Holmes in his 90's and his last case. Ian McKellen, always excellent, as Holmes and stellar performance by Milo Parker ( young Gerald in The Durrells). Rather poignant but thoroughly enjoyable. Quote

I saw that a few years ago, and loved it! 1 Quote
itsmeagain Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Watched a couple of good drama series on Channel 5 this weekend. Both surrounding death in a river or the sea. One UK, one Australia. Edited June 18, 2023 by itsmeagain Quote

Brian. Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 I watched Grave of the Fireflies on Sunday night as it is one of the Studio Ghibli films I hadn't seen. I knew nothing about it before sitting down to watch it so expected something relatively happy with a but of Japanese whimsy thrown in for good measure. I couldn't have been more wrong and the movie has been in my head since I watched it. Last night we went to our local cinema to see Gladiator II. I thought it was ok but not a patch on the first movie. It all felt a little bit of a mess and relies heavily on the action scenes. Movies typically need the viewer to suspend belief but there are a few scenes which are outright ridiculous when you take a second to think about them. I really like Paul Mescal as an actor, he is fantastic in Aftersun, but I'm not sure he quite pulls it off here. Denzel Washington steals the movie. He plays his character perfectly and looks like he really had fun with the role. Quote
