Movie recommendations

Watched Batman the other night... as a cinema experience it was great with brilliant action scenes and all the loud noises rattling through your head as you'd expect.

The overall film though was just sad... it was trying to be dark like the Joker but whereas it was more edgy and shocking I just found the Batman to be a sad depressing tale and I really wasn't interested in the film as a whole. Would be interested to hear what anyone else thought?

There is always an element of darkness in Gotham but the reviews really did hammer home that element of it, and combined with the almost 3 hr running time, I was really put off it. However the missus and I went to see it about 3 weeks ago and we both really enjoyed it and it certainly didn't feel like 3 hrs (although I did have my now customary power nap in the middle of it!). Certainly not an upbeat movie but what Batman movie is as most that focus 9n Batman himself (rather than The Joker) centre on someone struggling to get past the fact that his parents were murdered in front of him as a child (spoiler alert).

Really enjoyed death on the nile with Ustinov. I though the new one was fairly shit and with playstation like backdrops. Dont really understand why Brannagh feels the need to redo these films when the originals were great with far superior casts.

Watched 2 films on Netflix over the weekend.. The Angel. Egyptian Jewish spy true story, very good snd The Forgotten battle based on the disastrous landings in Holland, also very good

Finally got around to watching the Godfather.

It's about a boy in America who gives out great advice to locals and friends. People come to him for guidance and advice and it comes to an abrupt end when he was frigging about in a garden with a young lad and collapsed and died. Early signs point to a heart attack. Before that he was shot loads of times by a few boys he must not have advised.

Fast forward about 20 years and his son inherits his dad's talents and people come to him for advice and the film ends with other men kissing his ring which infuriates his wife who watches it from behind a door. Looking forward to the 2nd one.

Been doing the Marvel line up with my young lad this past couple of months. Just got to End Game last week (we skipped Thor Dark World which is supposedly utter shite).

Dr strange, while decent enough, was my least favourite so far. Nothing to do with the cast or the way it was made. Just find the premise of the character less interesting.m

But we'll watch the new Dr Strange too as he'll want to see it.

I was really looking forward to Northman and it was filmed in Norn Iron.  It has good reviews but is really dung I'm afraid

I think i made a bit of a boo boo with this one.  I brought the child to the cinema to see it and he would be a bit of a sensitive soul.  Some parts of this scared the sh*t out of him.  ach sure, character building

Grew up with films like The Shining, The Omen, Poltergeist, Texas chainsaw massacre, Halloween, Freddy Kruger films, Friday the 13th, The Evil dead, and all the Hammer films to name but a few! Turned out alright

I mind in school the teacher played us some Pixar film on tape.  Half the movie was a feel good Pixar film, the other half, which had not been recorded over was the Texas Chainsaw massacre.  Good old tapes, the original torrent service of the 90's and early 2000's.

Looking forward to watching the sequel though.
