Just got to get round to seeing Shine and The Soloist now, none of which are available on any of the streaming services to which I'm subscribed. Shine isn't even available on iTunes!

Bit of trading feedback here.
Rob Lowe and Kristin (Sex in the City) Davis. God this was atrocious.
I messed up the night before by choosing a godawful Disney+ cancer tourism tearfest (Clouds), so last night it was my wife's turn to pick a movie. The only remotely interesting thing about watching Holiday in the Wild is pondering why nobody canned it before it was released. I've had more surprise finding a bad joke inside a Christmas cracker than the entire plot of this film. I can't find to words to articulate just how bad it was. It's free on Netflix and I felt overcharged.
I strongly recommend you don't watch this without a blindfold and a pair of noise cancelling headphones.
0.5/10
... if you read up on the real history of what happened, it's barely exaggerated for comic effect at all.

Im not an EJ fan but this was a beltingly good film. Egerton’s performance was brilliant.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I caught a few minutes of a biography on Carole Lombard while on my break at work a few weeks ago, and last night while browsing youtube I came across an upload of this. I totally agree with your review, a really enjoyable movie.
Eerily surprised to see it show up in this thread though.
I quite enjoyed this. Post Apocalyptic story, one lone survivor at an Artic weather station, and one crew aboard a spaceship heading back to earth without knowing about “the event”.
Also watched the World's End with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Some funny bits, Nick Frost was great, apparently Simon Pegg was in rehab around the same time and maybe that's why he seems erratic, the jokes are just not as good as Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the dead, but it does get better after the first 30 minutes 6/10

It's something of a tradition in our house to watch an old classic movie on Christmas Eve. Sometimes we watch the same one (I think we've watched The Shop Around the Corner 4 times and Meet Me In St Louis at least twice). We've just got a trial of Prime and I noticed the Magnificent Ambersons on there, another one we've watched before on Christmas Eve: but flicking through the options we saw Godfrey. We were a bit worried we'd remember the Magnificent Ambersons too well having watched it several times and plumped for My Man Godfrey. Glad we did, just as good as Ambersons and less familiar.
50+ people dead, many lying in the streets, hundreds of buildings burning and armed military on the streets. Truly scary stuff.
Brilliant. 9/10
The New York heiress who thought she was an opera singer... but couldn't sing. Not sure if it's actually meant to be a 'comedy', but it's quite funny. Directed by Stephen Frears so very well-made - perfectly observed period detail, brilliant acting by Meryl Streep especially, Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg, and as far as I've read reasonably accurate... but not immensely exciting. It's likeable enough but there are no real surprises or amazing revelations, just a good story to tell.
7/10

Based on the Libyan Embassy Hostage Situation and subsequent SAS Raid.
Not bad but all a bit one dimensional. Mark Strong was good as usual but other than that it didn't really develop much at all. There were worse ways to spend 90 minutes but there are probably better ones too.
