Belfast - not recommended.

What's wrong with Belfast, sure it is supposed to win Oscars?
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

I think that is the problem - it has been hyped and for the life of me I can't see why. Does anyone know if it was written as a play and then converted to film, as that's what it plays like. And the presence of Van Morrison singing doesnt help.

Said the exact same. It looks just like a play.
I enjoyed it but there is not much to it.

Belfast was enjoyable enough but nothing amazing. Matrix resurrections was pure muck but then then so were the second and third films.

Belfast was OK, getting hyped due to it being about Branagh and the troubles, shot in black and white and having Judi Dench in it. Her accent was terrible too.

I thought the new matrix was good, far better than the second and third ones.

Can't remember much about There Will Be Blood Now, but remember thinking it was excellent when I watched it.

I was the same with the matrix films. 2&3 struggled. But this was better and some good throw backs.

Watched the Resident Evil reboot as well. Really liked it as was expecting the worst!!

Milltown Row2

Watched The Father with Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, hard to describe the emotions this film puts you through, Hopkins is brilliant and Olivia Colman superb as his daughter.

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Heard it's very good and Hopkins gives a masterclass but  I can't watch sad films in my old age now. Same with that show Afterlife with Ricky Gervais. Looks good but would put me on a complete downer.

I know what you me a Jim, but definitely give Afterlife a go. Uplifting as well as heartbreaking!

Thought that last series of Afterlife was average enough.
