We watched that after seeing your glowing review, it was indeed a very good film. Cheers. My other half lived in Canada for several years, so that added an extra dimension of interest.
Im a fan but not a huge one so didn’t know what to expect . Turned to my wife after half an hour and said this may be the best film I’ve seen for years. By the end it had slightly outstayed it’s welcome but still an 8.5 out of 10.. Even after 2.5 hours they had to miss chunks of his life out but luckily a lot of the film concentrated on his early years which suited me . A really entertaining film , a great soundtrack and Hanks and the good looking fella were great
A stripper and a moral crusader get trapped together in a peep show club... on the Day of Judgement. Is there any way they can escape? This starts as a comedy horror but turns into a rather touching little lesson in friendship and not judging others. Not bad.
OK, it's not a film strictly speaking but I've included it since it feels like it was made as a film and then chopped up into nine 10-15 minute pieces. Don't ask me why, it's weird.
Anyway, Rowan Atkinson back doing his thing with some light hearted slapstick, cartoon-esq comedy. If you like Mr Bean you'll probably enjoy this, it seems heavily borrowed from his former character.
There's nothing offensive at all and would be good for all the family to enjoy.
It's not rip-roaringly funny but it's pretty decent entertainment with a couple of significant moments (won't spoil anything).
The premise for the story is one inept human male gets job as a house-sitter for a wealthy and entitled couple in their lavish home while they sun themselves on warmer shores. Enter one bumble-bee and chaos ensues.
If you binge watch, as we did, it runs to about 90 minutes or so, a bit like a film.
On Netflix.

Hadn't heard of this true story before but I shall read more about it in the wake of the film.
Not overacted or melodramatic, the key characters are on-point and their inter-relationships are brought into play in bringing the human story to the fore.
The tensions of the Cold War are the backdrop to the story and film sets are spot-on for their authentic feel (buildings, vehicles, clothes, behaviours, lighting / tone).
The fundamentals of the storyline are well documented elsewhere and I don't wanna spoil anything here ... suffice it to say it's a good watch that gradually pulls you in as it develops tensions and recognisable challenges. If you want a couple of hours with a well acted, good story and no CGI then go for it.
8.5/10
Not sure how to describe what sort of film this is really. Tells a quite a nice story which starts with the tragedy of the death of Sarah, who was due to open a bakery with her business partner.
Her business partner (Shelley Conn) was about to throw in the towel when she was confronted by Sarah's estranged daughter (Shannon Tarbet) who convinces her to keep the idea going. Add in Sarah's estranged mother (Celia Imrie) and a chap (Rupert Penry-Jones) who thinks he may be the father of Sarah's daughter and also who happens to be a Michelin star chef and you have the dynamic for quite a touching story about mending struggling relationships and a struggling fledgling business in London.
I liked it. Think it's on Netflix.

A refugee couple from South Sudan are housed in a dilapidated house in a bleak, run-down estate in an unnamed British town. Within days they start experiencing strange sights and sounds, and the husband becomes convinced there are malign forces living in the walls of the house, including the spirit of their young daughter who died on the journey.
This had been on my watchlist for ages but I never got round to it... it's an unusual setup for a horror movie, the performances are pretty good and I was surprised to see Matt Smith as a council worker who's more sympathetic than he initially appears. The psychological disturbances brought on by grief, loss and guilt are interesting ideas, but the film falls apart a bit when it strays into more typical horror territory. Not bad though.
Forgot I had this on DVD and although I've watched it before it was a long time ago. A lot of arty nonsense really but strangely compelling and not just because of Eva Green looking her loveliest. This time around I enjoyed the soundtrack to the film which I didn't notice first time. It helped the film tick along and whilst 'arty nonsense' might not be to everyone's taste this film is decent entertainment and memorable 8/10
The Neighbour
Caught this late last night on Horror/Legend and it kept me watching at a time when I really should've been going to sleep. The whole thing is a bit 'bitty' and can't say I enjoyed the ending but there was some decent performances especially the lead. Worth a watch 6/10
The Cleaning Lady
Watched this late the other night. Think it was on Horror/Legend? Perfect looking woman involved in an affair with a married man makes friends with a burns victim cleaning lady, who seems to have serious social skills issues and the whole friendship is extremely unlikely from the off IMO. The inevitable happens of course. In it's favour there's some good performances, the suspense level is high and it's well done for a low budget movie.6/10
Dreamworks latest animated offering, it's basically Ocean's Eleven meets Tarantino but aimed at nine year olds. Great animation, brilliant soundtrack and I laughed out loud several times. Highly recommended to anyone with kids.
Such a shame. I really liked the first Dr Strange film.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
