I know what I like and what I don't, what gets in my top ten and what doesn't and for what reasons.
Yes, and in response to your curt and direct replies I wrote 'Are you quite sure?' with a 
smilie. It's a joke. Geddit? Oh - you didn't.I use efficiency of language sometimes if I'm on my phone. Plus I miss the nuance of the chat!
sweet love to you.

Now..... Can you explain the appeal of these movies. I have no idea how I was able to keep watching this. Just a joke it's a kids film yes? Surely nobody over 9 likes this movie?
no no no - I make it about 12wooden acting, laughable script, fanciful stunts, see-through plot, zero style and panache
nice cars and cleavage - its maxpower magazine
1: Life on the Edge
A film documentary about F1, and the evolution of safety. I saw Max Mosely in a new light, I have to say. And, to some extent, Bernie. I hadn't realised quite what a contribution to safety they had made.
It was a little light on details but, then again, could have very easily got bogged down in them had it had more, so overall it was a good balance.
Currently it is included at no extra cost to Amazon Prime members, which is how I watched it (via my Fire TV on the telly).

I didn't think too much of 1:life on the edge.
What was that documentary on bbc4 "grand prix:the killer years" or something? Much better I thought and covered pretty much the same subject but with infinitely more compassion.
On motorsports films I managed to get a couple of hours to watch Road the other week, the film about the Dunlop family of road racers. Really enjoyed it personally and the Q&A session on the DVD extras was really enlightening, though it's hard not to be entertained by the Dunlop brothers and McPint when they're on form
8/10
Also managed Hitting The Apex, the Brad Pitt narrated MotoGP film which was really good, got a wee but dusty with all the super sic footage I must admit but told the story of the MotoGP class every bit as well as TT:Closer To The Edge did for the Isle of Man.
10/10

I saw Road the day it was released at cinema, and the Q&A was live streamed from the premiere in London to all the cinemas around the UK showing it. 8/10
It was me and about a dozen other random bikers in the cinema, all in riding gear. Superb documentary though, the sound was incredible.

Ummm, well I'll be 41 on Tuesday. And I love them. Absolute toss, yes. No doubt. 
But a huge guilty pleasure and I enjoy them massively. It's on again now and had just started when I flicked channels so it's staying on. Even Mrs Johnny is happy to watch again. Although she fell asleep last night so maybe has more excuse than me

Like any number of iconic PH films The Princess Bride doesn't survive a re-visit well. True the sword fights and one-liners are good, when they occur, but the rest is quite slow and not particularly entertaining. Through the correct spectacles though... .
Inconceivable!Fruitvale Station - True story. Oscar Grant (played by Creed's Michael B Jordan) is shot by police on.New Years Day 2009 in full view of bystanders filming on phones. The film is about the previous day leading up to the incident. Interesting dramatisation,heavily one-sided but worth.a look. 7/10
