"The Beekeeper, Jason Statham's latest effort on Sky. A mate, who is a big fan, got me into Statham's films a couple of years ago. Most I have seen are 10 or 15 years old. Some are enjoyable enough, some not as much. This though is by far the worst I have seen. Everything wrong with modern day films is in here, even Statham looks embarrassed. The fighting choreography looks like they are dancing, the villains are comical and Jeremy Irons must need the money. Makes The Meg look Oscar winning material."

MMG. Somehow I'd missed Kingdom when it came out....great to watch a good old fashioned epic with 30000 extras instead of cgi. Cheers

Dune: Part 2. Visually good. Deafening soundtrack. But nowhere near as great as some are claiming.

Anyone interested in Kingdom of Heaven should try and find the Directors Cut. Far superior to the theatrical release.

Napoléon was shit. Some of dialogue between him and Josephine was comical . Did they bring Barbara Cartland from the dead to write the script . Wellington looked like a caricature from a Punch comic. I don’t think R Scott has done anything good since Kingdom Heaven

"Manuel - Yeah me too, it was great entertainment and the lovely Kelly Lynch was pleasing on the eye. I heard a rumour that Ridley Scott's Gladiator sequel is allegedly over budget and may need to make £600 - £700 million to break even. Madness if true. Scott has made some absolute classics but a tad hit and miss in recent years. Why remake such a classic, you can't recreate such a great film."

"Watched Napoleon, thought it a bit too long and drawn out, Battle scenes are great but in between its a bit meh for long periods! Joaquin Phoenix is ok as the main man, but clearly a bit of an oddball, as was Napoleon i suppose. LOL Also had the trigger warning at the start (watching on Apple TV) that had me rolling my eyes, but i think this type of thing is going to become the norm."

"The public never really took to Wellesley like they did Nelson and like his great grandson was a great war politician but a poor prime minister in a time of peace. In fact the windows of his London home, Aspley House had the windows smashed so regularly that he had a wrought iron high fence put around the property, hence the periodical Punch satirising him and where he got his nickname 'the iron Duke' from."

"Duke of Wellington: [referring to his army] I don't know what they'll do to the enemy; but, by God, they frighten me tcog.... you been to the National Army museum at Chelsea?? Stuff they have got there is mind blowing regarding Waterloo.... Pictons hat with bullet hole in it (and lead ball taken from his head) ... the saw that cut off Uxbridge's leg... Wellington's cape from the battle... the skeleton of Marengo (Napoleon's horse)..."

"Agreed, they will never beat 1970 Waterloo Ney ; ' Wellingtons on the run - he's retreating ! ' Napoleon; ' If Wellingtons retreating, what are you doing here? ' ."

Yeah it does rile me fella.... yeah I understand artistic licence... but fuck me don't rewrite history... it drives me mad... Waterloo (1970) is a brilliant and pretty accurate description of what happened.... certainly never had old' Boney on a horse flying into the British squares with his sabre flashing...... he had piles... he could barely stand never alone ride Marengo on a charge.

"NS, You’re obviously far more clued up on the historical facts than me,I could like you easily be inquisitive to know more as my knowledge on such matters are limited at a push. Hats off. As a film to watch the time flew by really enjoyed it unlike like the flowery moon cinamatic repepertive endurance. Each to their own I spose."

"jfk... I thought total opposite ... I was really looking forward to Napoleon ... ever since I was a young lad I have been massively interested in the the Napoleonic Wars ... have visited Waterloo... seen the film 100 of times... same with Master and Commander... have read copious books, watched documentaries... so I am pretty clued up... which is what fucked me off with Ridley Scott completely re-writing history... he did not have to do it... it's a BRILLIANT story alone... you just had to retell it.... and his response to Historians of `well you wasn't fucking there' does not wash for me.... it was just a huge self indulgent jackanory mess for me... give me the Di caprio film any day of the week"

Watched Napoleon earlier thought it was very good even though almost three hours(paused reluctantly for a shit tidley takeaway half way trough as herself insisted)long. Miles better than killers of the flower moon shit that I got dragged along to the pictures to watch.

Not new but i'm watching Manhunter 1986 on Sky. Forgotten what a brilliant film this is. If anyone hasn't seen it I highly recommend.

Liam Neeson in as Frank Drebin. That’s good casting. The issue is the script. With PC Hollywood calling the shots. I wouldn’t hold out much hope on this one.

"I've just read that they're making ‘THE NAKED GUN’ reboot (surprise surprise another reboot), coming out next year. It looks like HOLLYWOOD doesn't want to involve the writers or director of the original, so you know it's going to be extremely shit."
