Can’t seem to load anything at the mo, keep getting...

‘We’re having trouble playing this title at the moment. Please try again later or select a different title.’

Been the same for a few days?
Smart TV app?
Turn off your TV and unplug it for a couple of mins.
Sorted the problem out for me.
I just click OK then resume the show. Never a problem after!

Having said that, I am struggling to find something to watch. Tried Schitts Creek and not really grabbed me yet, will give it another go.

Turning it off for a while has done the trick, thanks smile

Now then, has anybody watched Capone yet?

Just finished behind her eyes

Enjoyed it.

Didn't expect the somewhat supernatural turn, didn't feel like I signed up for it either

Can't really say much without ruining it but I did call the ending... Properly fked up!!

The Trial of the Chicago 7

Aaron Sorkin seems to do no wrong.

Watched this on Saturday evening. Absolutely fantastic film. And a really interesting story, if you find yourself wanting to dig further into the detail and protagonists.

Rate it Nine defendants out of ten courtrooms. Possibly more.
I agree. We watched this on Saturday night. I wasn't too familiar with the subject matter but it was a fascinating case. I thought the actor playing defence lawyer put in a very subtle and well judged performance. I'm not normally one for court room drama but this is a great movie.
Very engaging film.

Sucker Punch. I expected it to be bad, but somehow watched till the end.
I like Sucker Punch, soundtrack & fight choreography are what makes it.
Well someone had to like it smile
Most of the girls are very attractive, but the two biggest flaws for me were the extremely cliched main story and the meaningless action.
Action without weight and consequence just becomes meaningless and boring, for me, regardless of fight choreography.
One of those "so bad its good" films
Looks like its written by a 13 year old: Ninjas, space,d&d, dragons,zombies,loud explosions,cool music & skimpily clad ladies, what more could they ask for smile

Last Breath

Sorry if already mentioned. Saturation diver gets into the kind of trouble you don't want to get into.

A story that would have made a good 10 minutes on Micheal Buerk's "999" dragged out to fill 90 minutes.

Nicely done but I eventually got bored of thinking "Hmmm, glad I didn't choose this career path".

Not a gem but worth a watch until the pubs are open.

I just think it's a shame that they never made a sequel of The Matrix. wink

I made the mistake of not checking the IMDb / RT of Capone, just thought “ooo Tom Hardy, he’s good, let’s watch this wife”.

Good lord. One of the most unwatchable films I’ve seen in a long time. Yes Hardy is pretty good but everything else about the film seems thin, pointless, uncomfortable and yet dull.

I checked it about 40 minutes in. At which point I realised it wasn't getting any better and turned it off.

Monster Hunter

Milla Jovovich. Dune meets Tremors with one scene nicked from Aliens. Killed an hour and 43 minutes I suppose.



3 or maybe 4/10

+1

If Tom Hardy had taken the cigar out of his mouth occasionally to give me a chance to understand his mumbling I might have stuck with it a bit longer.

I watched the trailer and I could determine it looked awful. Thank the Lord I did so.

Sadly not. IPTV.
