The Courier 7.2/10

Was in two minds to watch this or The Courier. Went for the The Courier.

6/10 Interesting enough as much as it's based on a true spy story.

But no real tension, all a bit flat.

 

[luvgonzo]

Yeah I enjoyed it but it lacked something.

Agree but performances were very good.

 

[luvgonzo]

Performances were very good.

Yes, the woman who played his wife is always good.

So good we don't know her name

 

[luvgonzo]

So good we don't know her name

True I did recognise her straight away from the Fargo TV series.

 

[A.L.D.O 4.1]

You have to watch to the end of La La Land, it's a big part of the film.

But agree otherwise, not a big fan of musicals.

Honestly I've tried. Can't get bye 30 minutes in. Lose interest swith it off.

 

[A.L.D.O 4.1]

I have been revisiting Rust and Marty since it was mentioned in this thread last week. TV doesn't get any better than this.

Paterson 8.8/10

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

Personally i'm with Spurlock on this can't really be doing with them .Off the top of my head the only one that comes to my mind that i'll watch is my fair lady but that has pretty much nothing to do with the music .

Carousel anyone?

 

[FosseFilberto]

Watched The Starling on Netflix - Melissa McCarthy and Chris O'Dowd ... departure from her usual silliness ... good acting performances from the principles ... watchable if rather profound.

 

[Solid Air]

Carousel anyone?

is Stanley Holloway in it cos if not count me out .

But agree otherwise, not a big fan of musicals.

so it's like Titanic, you have to start at the last 3rd to enjoy it?
Musicals, meh, Grease, Charlie & the Chocolate factory, Paint your wagon, that's about it.

 

[Citizen Kane.]

The King's Man

Better than I was expecting. Retained the ridiculously OTT fight sequences but tempered them with a far more melancholic and serious story line.

6.5/10

Not really Ern, like saying you only need to watch the end of Usual Suspects. It wouldn't work without watching the whole thing.

And don't lie, we all remember your love for The Sound of Music.

I'm not a fan of musicals but 3 I'd rate are Blues Brothers, The King and I, and A Star Is Born. All three tremendous films.
