Escape from Pretoria - was ok in parts but mostly it did my head in.  The amount of wee torturous scenes as the guys were experimenting with escape issues... I suppose that's the suspense they were going for but for me it was over done.

Looking forward to this - The Sopranos sequel - The Many Saints of Newark

Spent the last 3 nights rewatching The Godfather movies. I remember when GF3 come out and thought it was pretty good. Having watched the 3 in quick succession again - GF3 is muck in comparison.

Three was a horrible movie.

Instead of telling a story, it seemed as though the movie was set up as a series of scenes to pay homage to, while trying to outdo, the originals. Too big. Too noisy. Too many over the top speeches. Trying too hard.

Which is where it was really at odds with one, in which the action and dialogue was really quite understated and believable, with colour and music used to join those scenes together.

Godfather, fantastic although not a patch on the book.
Just finished Official Secrets on Netflix.  Excellent show

That Official Secrets was very good. I had heard nothing about it.

Its by far the worst of the three, with big problems with the story and some questionable acting, but I still enjoyed it overall. Not every film has to be a masterpiece. And it did have some really good performances and memorable lines.

Andy Garcia / Sofia Coppolla really doesn't work. I can remember Sofia Coppolla getting stick for her performance (& the accusations of nepotism) at the time, again at the time, I didn't think she was too bad, but watching again - she ain't good! Garcia isn't great either in what was an absolute gift of a role. Hammy stuff at times. Were 1 & 2 were original and trend setting, 3 somehow manages to be a cliche. Maybe too much time passed between 2 & 3 and the Genre had really moved on.

Part III never made sense. But part I and part II were masterpieces. Part II probably one of the greatest movies of all time.

GF 3 only was made to tie the first two films up, it had nothing on the others

Molly's Game on Netflix,  the true story of Molly Bloom who ran Poker Games for celebrities is well worth a watch. Interesting psychology behind her decision process. She featured on the Tommy Tiernan show in January 2020, very interesting character. From the beautiful state of Colorado too.

seeing as the Olympic diving is currently on. Jason Staham's latest offering is Wrath of man. It has little or no plot. You won't find any Oscar winning performances. But it's pretty good as a shoot'em up.

I like Statham movies. They are obviously rubbish but watchable rubbish you can switch your brain off and laugh at.
