Watched Saipan. I really enjoyed it. Read some reviews that said a lot of it was all made up but in fairness it seemed to pretty much sum up what happened. Nearly 25 years later it's still annoying thinking of what might have been.

A similar film that I also really enjoyed was Giant. It takes Brendan Ingles side of the story and Prince Naseem and in particular his brother come across very poorly in it

I Swear, on Netflix, is a decent watch. Heartbreaking at times but also some great humour.

Live staging of it didn't go down so well.

No, and the irony of that considering what the film is trying to achieve.

The fella playing him is exceptional in it. He's the young Ned Stark in the flashback scenes in GOT

Yes. He's decent in Rings of Power too

Mentioned already, but Nuremburg is exceptional.

Netflix film Carry-on with ~~Elton John~~ Taron Egerton is quite good.

Peaky Blinders film is bang average very slow and dreary with a boring plot.

I'm very disappointed thought there was a good chance to send it off with a bang.

Thought the TV show was similar to be honest.

I really enjoyed it but at the same time thought it could have been better. Tom Hardy was a huge miss.

Covid hitting and then the passing of Helen McCrory definitely negatively impacted the show.

I would agree with that. Watched it last.

Watched the Peaky Blinders film last night, thought it was good.
