Very disappointed in El Camino.
Was waiting for something interesting to happen if that makes sense.  :o

I liked El Camino as an epilogue to the show. Don't see how it could have worked as a standalone movie for anyone who hasn't seen the show though.

Terminator Dark Fate was much better than expected. 7.5.

Just out of Joker and thought great lead performance. From what I was hearing I was expecting it to be darker and more violent. Tame enough.

Enjoyed The Irishman, but prob 30-45 mins too long. Best DeNiro has been in years and years.

Agree, tame - but a great performance.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

great acting by Joaquin but overall I thought it was poor enough film - for the 'big scene' - you could see that coming about 15 mins into the show I thought anyway
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

I have to wait until Nov 22. The book is excellent.
Did the film venture into the murky waters of the Mafia setting up the hit against JFK as the book gave account to? with Sheeran supplying the weapons for the 'hit' plus motive as he saw it, plus his accounts of Jack Ruby hobnobbing regularily with the highest echelons of the Buffalino family.

I was thinking of going to see it, but heard De Niro was in it, so I thought f**k that.

There is a section (and a running thread) about ties to the Kennedy family (Joe, Jack and Bobby), election "assistance" and Cuba.

I would say the run time is directly related to it's final home on Netflix.

But not taking it further to connecting mafia ire with that fateful day in Dallas?

Just back from watching The Irishman. Absolutely superb, DeNiro, Pacino and especially Joe Pesci were brilliant. Look forward to watching it again on Netflix.

Dolomite is my name on Netflix wasn't to bad. Quite entertaining in places being based on a true story. Eddie Murphy is a class act in it.
