Bohemian Rhapsody. Hard to bate.

Bird Box on Netflix is a good show. Not quite a horror, as I was expecting but definitely a good concept.

Watched First Man tonight. Great movie. Really enjoyed it.

Daft enough. Particularly how there wasn't a mention as to how everyone survived the 5 years between outbreak and the river journey!

Not too many novels get told on their entirety when they hit the big screen

Yes daft is the best word for it and too similar to The Happening (2008). For me, the malevolent presence / illness / psychosis wasn't explained anywhere near enough.

It wasn't about that though . . . I quite enjoyed it I know it wasn't too deep really and was just a whole lot of suspense without any real reasoning but it was entertaining enough and not the worst way to pass an evening. It'll hardly be getting any Oscars I wouldn't think.

I read a two word review ("Bird shít") that put me off pursuing the matter any further.

Watched the Favourite the other night.

Very well acted and clever if a bit too arty at times however I enjoyed it. Olivia Colman is class to as the Queen I remember first noticing her in Green Wing being funny in a minor role fair play to her getting the Oscar nomination.

Disclaimer. Have spoken to a lot of people who didn't like it!

Tony Baloney

Surprised to hear of someone from Derry watching an arty movie  ;D

Anyone seen Glass? Have seen mainly mediocre reviews of it but a couple of very decent reviews. Maybe one for the firestick.

I'm amazed one of you Armagh lads can spell arty  :P

I must be the only one that thought Bohemian Rhapsody was average.
