Noted that quite a few Gene Hackman films are now free to view on various platforms.  On the Hackman thread RBshorty mentioned Hoosiers of which I hadn't really heard of.  Not a basketball fan at all but must say I enjoyed it so well worth a watch.  The great Dennis Hopper co-stars.

Watched The Gorge last night.  Was quite fun. 

The Gorge just felt like I was watching a platform game and had to google that it wasn't.

Heart Eye's drifted on far too long in places with no real action. 

Both are watchable if, like me, you are currently stuck indoors. But they aren't that good. 

Council-  Heart Eyes is supposed to be a Rom Com/ Horror, You don't usually get a lot of action in Rom Coms.

There's only one movie to watch right now after Winnie The Pooh Blood and Honey 1 and 2

Watched The Brutalist at the weekend, Guy Pearce was super in the supporting role but jeez did they not have a cutting room as it seems to go on forever, 7.5/10 though but have plenty of coffee on standby to avoid drifting off

Has a Holocaust connection so for sure will win at the Oscars big time oln Sunday.

OK it's not a recent movie but I'm currently watching Ran, Kurosawa's adaptation of King Lear, what a fantastic feast for the eyes it is, absolutely superb, if you haven't seen it get the 4k Ultra Hd version, you won't be disappointed.

Has Stephen King done anything decent in the last 20 years?

As per Anon's post. Of course James Wan has directed and written Saw, The Conjuring , The Nun and Anabelle etc. Quite a CV. 

[Swiss.]

Dr Sleep, Mr Mercedes, and 11/22/63 were decent books with good adaptions 

You took the words right out of my mouth. But he's not as prolific as he was but I guess that's age. 

[JAC]

Sadly they wont be making the second part of 11/23/63 which as shame as the first part was excellent as was the book.

[Lee Trundle]

Thanks, I'll check out Dr Sleep.  I'd struggle to find time for the other 2 as they're both TV series.

The Monkey is released tomorrow. A Stephen King and James Wan collaboration. Doesn't get much better a team for horror.

Heart Eyes is a must see

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Also watched Heretic and have the same view, Grant very good, average horror yarn.

CS - He's back in one of his old roles soon in the new Bridget Jones film

Have managed to avoid every watching a Bridget Jones film, hope to keep it that way 

Youre missing out bruv

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Talking of Liam Neeson films: I thought Absolution was a pretty good watch! A couple of his more recent films, this one included, have been very watchable. The other one being ‘In the land of Saints and Sinners’ 

I thought that  saints and sinners was a decent effort .
If only for the change of scenery.

I watched Heretic the other night. Now I'd heard a lot of hype about this and no I didn't think it lived up to it. However High Grant's performance is very good. 

Agreed, its a watchable film, but nothing more, Grant has really come into his own since he ditched all the Romcom shit.

Watched Dogman (2023 one), if you like dogs, its a good way to spend a couple of hours. 

I think his role in The Gentlemen is very good but my favourite is the sleezy arms dealer in Operation Fortune. It also has the delighful Aubrey Plaza. Unfortunately you do have to put up with Jason Statham ...again

Watched a horror film called The Damned with Joe Cole in it recently. Pretty good.

Watched Back in Action last night on Netflix starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz who is on screen for the first time in ten odd years.  Think it was during the filming of this Foxx was taken ill, hence a 2025 release date.  It's ok, an enjoyable enough action flick.  I thought it was similar to the two RED films Bruce Willis did.  Thought Jamie Demetriou was very good and it also stars Glenn Close although was surprised Helen Mirren didn't pop up in that role!  Worth a watch if nothing else is on.

Looks like Warner Bros are putting a selection of their movies for FREE on Youtube to watch.
