Watched Ambush last night which is a good Vietnam war film.

I was considering watching Luther last night until I saw the information… ‘Luther breaks out of prison to catch a criminal’

Also watched Luther this weekend and a big fan of the show so worth watching for that reason but surely Idris should have looked at the plot and told the writers to get a grip! Probably paid a shed load though.

As Jann said Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre was good fun. Love Grant's slimy crook. More MI than a Ritchie film. Good for a sequel.

"ted - Yea it's like a bad tv movie, but I stand by what I said i.e. if you like the show/character then it's still worth a watch, and there are some 'good bits' in it still."

Thanks for the review Manuel & ted. I'll give it a miss.

We watched Luther last night and found it farcical ... my advice is give it a miss.

"Luther - As suggested, a load of old shite really, BUT if you was a fan of the series you have to watch it, I suppose."

"Agree, Alfs. It's a much needed social satire, done in a very unique way. The captain's dinner is one of the most bizarre and memorable acts of any movie I can think of."

I watched 'Triangle of Sadness' last night. Very funny and delivers a poignant message about today's society.

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is entertaining but a little disappointing for a Guy Ritchie film. Good enough for a sequel though.

"Lee Trundle 12:30 Wed Mar 8 We all loved Luther S1 so much we couldn't bring ourselves to comment on the rapid season by season decline - though we did notice that every episode without Alice in it was a bit, well, bang average. The show properly jumped the shark when it killed off DS Ripley, presumably to make Luther more angry. Like Luther needed another reason to be angry. Incidentally, Saskia Reeves's portrayal of Luther's boss in season one is probably the most unintentionally hilarious acting performance I have ever seen. Her over-acting is monumental and her 'cockney' accent is an absolute car crash - worse than Dick Van Dyke's I would say, as he had the excuse of not being British."

"There’s a new film coming out next month called Seven Kings Must Die. A bit harsh, that."

"I'd rather you threw me off than shagged me, son..."

Tell you what ED son I'd get over my new found fear of heights and join you for a climb up that tower... I'd then chuck you off the top you Jack in the Box cսnt

"Fucking hell son, you get more wafty by the day. We're going to see you mincing about at Wimbledon this year in thigh high boots and a leopard print Pashmina, aren't we?"

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11830927/Horror-fans-left-throwing-suffering-panic-attacks-watching-Fall.html Glad I wasn't the only one... and i'm pretty sure I dont suffer from heights...

Northern Sold 12:24 Wed Mar 8 It was watchable. Reminded me of another film (which I won't name as it will spoil the ending).

"bruuuno 3:01 Wed Mar 8 ""They had them in the UK too. Gutted, euro mongs?"" What a strange response. It wasn't a competition just an observation. They obvioulsly didn't catch on in Kensington and Chelsea."

"Swiss. 12:28 Wed Mar 8 They had them in the UK too. Gutted, euro mongs?"

"Haven‚Äôt read this thread for a while so had a scan through. This review in particular is up there with Mark Kermode and Barry Norman. Shit film, cracking review. ‚ÄúSurfaceAgentX2Zero 12:29 Tue Mar 7 Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022) Banshees is a tedious Vincent Van Gogh biopic transposed to Oirland so they can have lots of pretty Oirishy scenery and Oirishy music played in dimly-lit Oirishy pubs. Swap ears for fingers, add a wicked copper fucking his John Mills in Ryan's Daughter son up the arse and MickTimPat's your uncle. It's a pile of cսnt aimed cynically and squarely at winning an uncontroversial arty Oscar. The Irish count as honorary blacks, so there'll be no squealing on that account, to be sure‚Äú"

"Watched Everything Everywhere all at once the other day. Was definitely my sense of humour so I had a good few laughs and it was a clever attempt at threading nietzsche, multiverse theory and Buddhism into an entertaining story. Not sure I’d put it up there as a great film though so an Oscar would be too much. Worth a watch though"

Manuel 3:52 Wed Mar 8 The new Luther film has been panned by those who have already seen it. I felt it went a series too far on TV.

When I was working in Lyon in 2001 I used to use the vhs video dispensing machines. Pretty sure they never had them in the UK as they would get vandalised. Aslo in Stockholm around 2005 they had DVD dispenders.
