Interstellar, on Sky UHD
I assume sky have had a little play with the sound (if you remember loud SFX and near inaudible voices). Anyway way, it is absolutely brilliant. So much better i no longer need to mess around with the volume control
Possible I wasn’t as bothered by it on watching recently I assume sky have had a little play with the sound (if you remember loud SFX and near inaudible voices). Anyway way, it is absolutely brilliant. So much better i no longer need to mess around with the volume control
There still a part I’ve rewound and watched with the volume up so many times I can’t figure out what she says and what he answers. When they are flying up from the frozen planet.

Watched it but thought it was a bit meh, just a mish mash of various blockbuster Hollywood films (Matrix/Inception in this case) same as the other big budget Russian films the main character has been in. (Attraction/Invasion)Shinysideup said:

Cosmos
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292
Cosmos explores the thrilling first hours of first contact when three astronomers accidentally intercept what they believe to be a faint, coded signal from a distant alien civilisation
Underrated first contact type drama/sci-fi, will be a little slow for some, especially the first half, but enjoyed it myself.
They did well with a low budget here, interesting enough. Thankshttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt4477292

Amazing what you do up the local common with a Volvo and three blokes!
Recently watched Look who’s back. A German film (with subtitles) featuring Hitler in modern day Germany. A lot of the filming appeared to have been done with members of the public unaware that they being filmed. Their reactions to seeing Hitler was interesting, to say the least.

The Expendables 1, 2 & 3 (what can I say? I'm a glutton for punishment)
Yes they are s
t, cheesy, poorly acted , totally improbable with no regard for logic or physics - but why did I enjoy them so much?
Score? It's the Ronseal of films - it does what it says on the tin!
Agreed. People get so snobbish about films, nowt wrong with a good old fashioned brain out action movie!!Yes they are s
t, cheesy, poorly acted , totally improbable with no regard for logic or physics - but why did I enjoy them so much? Score? It's the Ronseal of films - it does what it says on the tin!

The Big Ugly, Anglo-American relations go bad, when London mob bosses invest in a West Virginia oil deal in hopes of laundering dirty money. Staring Vinnie Jones, Michael McDoewell and Ron Pelman. Hang up your ballet shoes chaps, total dross.
A revisit to The Gentleman, not impressed the first time around, but 2nd time around, I really enjoyed it, Hugh Grant’s performance, it’s outstanding.
Airplane 1980, wanted some light hearted rubbish, delivered in spade loads.
Blink of an Eye, documentary about NASCAR, An inside look at 2001's Daytona 500 featuring Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Well worth a watch. First is a victory, nothing else counts.

I liked the expansion into social media, too.eine solide acht von zehn.
And the social commentary on how literally being Hitler and espousing super nationalist views was OK, but when he killed a dog it almost ended him.

5 maybe 10 mins in and I just thought "This film is over 3hrs. And is moving so f
king slowly. I just don't care!" Writhing said:

Based on a book which is utterly excellent, very readable, and highly recommended. eine solide acht von zehn.
Though be warned, if you have also seen Jojo Rabbit that's the voice you'll be hearing Adolf in when you read it.
