Watched American Underdog on Netflix. Very good.

Nah, it was crap. The story didn't have a conclusive end.

Watched Leave the World Behind over Christmas there. Thought it was good, and the ending worked for me. If we're being critical, I'd say there was a wee bit of theme overload at times. But maybe that was deliberate. Interesting stuff.

Also watched The Creator. Topical, looked very nice, but tripped in bog-standard action movie territory too often. Forgettable enough in the end.
Doc would listen to any kind of nonsense and change it for you to a kind of wisdom.

Watched that Old Dad's on Netflix. It's by Bill Burr, couple of funny bits but story very basic and done to death.

Thought saltburn was a bit shit. Some good acting though.

Haven't seen it.

I read that it was basically a rehash of his stand-up act - grumpy middle-aged man, struggling to deal with the changing mores of the younger generations.

Yeah pretty much with a bit of the same old relationship story told in every movie. Couple of funny bits but certainly no classic.

I watched Florence Foster Johnson on Amazon Prime.

Have to say I really enjoyed it. I could see it being marmite though. Keoghan is brilliant in it. What a f>cked up character.

I quite enjoyed it too, I know Keoghan getting a bit of stick about the accent every once in a while, but he did the creepy thing very well.


Milltown Row2

Watched Gladiator last night, was on ITV. It ages well.

Believe there's a sequel coming out with the Irish actor as the main part
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I liked Saltburn too, expected it to be crap. The actor playing the main character has a strange, creepy look to him that was perfect for this character. Still, some weird scenes in it.

Saw Leave the World Behind over the weekend. Thought it was excellent. Ended a bit abruptly, but once you think about it, probably the right way to end it.

Don't get some of these boys started about that ending - they need everything wrapped in a bow in case they have to think for themselves.  ;)
