I thought it was okay...nothing more .
I feared the worst with Crowe as Goring , but TBF he did a reasonable job .
Goring was a highly intelligent man , as was Speer , but obviously you can't mention that.
At least this film didn't go down the obvious route and do a full on  hatchet job .

Just know it's one of those, like Black Panther, that is overhyped because it was made by and stars black people.

It had an air of menace about it early doors where you thought there might be some extreme violence but it didn't happen, then in a heartbeat it just went all silly with the vampires or whatever they're called.

Never gave Black Panther the time of day, could clearly see it was going to be utter tripe.

Re-watched Play misty for me, a bit dated now but still good.

Great film, was on when I got home from my eldest daughter being born, which is how she got her name Misty.

I watched Nuremberg and was surprised that given the cast is pretty stellar, containing the already mentioned Crowe, Woodall, Malik and also Michael Shannon who is good in everything he does, it hadnt received more hype and promotion. it just kind of went under the radar a bit it felt. Good film but in places felt like it had been cheaply made so maybe they blew all the budget on the cast as there wasnt much in the way of cinematography apart from basic stuff and some of the sets looked a bit wooden and cheap but on the whole a good film that should have got more attention.

SINNERS.

I see they say Callum Turner will be the next Bond. A good choice I think for the Chelsea Estate boy. 

Good taste in women that's for sure . Lucky bastard 

Knives out was decent. 

One for Northern Sold ..The Tiger (The Tank). Really excellent drama/horror about a Tiger tank crew in 1943 with a secret mission behind enemy lines. Has a Das Boot feel to it. I highly recommend it. 

New Predator was OK.

Knives Out,- new one (Can't remember the actual name) Enjoyable enough, , don't expect to use logic to solve this whodunnit though, because its as silly and convoluted as it gets, bit too long too

It's "Wake Up Dead Man".  Went to see it at the cinema about three weeks ago totally oblivious it was coming to platform two weeks later!    Found it decent enough, better than the second one, but not as good as the first.  Watched it at the Lounge, Picture House in Uckfield.  Never known confort like it, leather recliners and a waitress service to your seat and fabulous picture and sound clarity.  Fabulous place.

Films these days tend to bore the shit out of me.

Watched 3 new ones over christmas

House Of dynamite:  well worth a watch IMO, enjoyed it and a great reminder how we're all potentially minutes away from disaster. Don't watch if you like your movies wrapped up in a nice little bow though

Weapons: Fantastic, one of best "Sci/Fi/Horror/Thriller I've seen in a long while (purposely leaving the genre vague as its half the fun not knowing)
