I have said it before on here, we know very little about that side of the world and vice versa. It is like we two completely different histories. For example, our tales of heroism in the wars are largely unheard of there, likewise their tales to us. It has been an eye opener for me.
I had never heard of Holodomor before watching this film. That's pretty awful for a 58yo not to have heard about something as terrible as this. I agree it was a solid 8/10.
Both my kids loved the series, so , wee man and myself sat down and watched the movie, its really very good, some scary bits that younger kids might find scary but all in all its a great movie to watch with the kids and munch on pringles and easter aggs..

Its a hard watch and tough to recommend, but a 10/10 piece of film and an honour to watch. Nothing short of an actual horror film.
French courtroom drama, brilliantly acted.
Not much chance of any Oscars for this one, but it’s still a fun & brainless popcorn movie. 6/10, would watch again.
At 2.00 am with a thunderstorm raging outside, a middle-aged man sitting alone in his trailer is disturbed by a knock at his door... it's a bedraggled young woman in need of a lift or at very least a phone. The man explains that his car is out of order and the only phone is a payphone some distance away. So the two settle down in the cramped confines of the trailer, waiting for the storm to ease.
This is tense, atmospheric and very well made. Whether or not it absolutely "works" will, I think, depend on the personal feelings of the viewer, but it's certainly an impressive effort by the first-time writer/directors.
Dark and moody drama about an ex US Abu Graib guard who after coming out of a military prison makes his living playing cards. I wont give too much away but its a slow burner but holds your interest nicely. William Defoe plays William Defoe very well and it reminded me very much of his film Light Sleeper , turns out Paul Schrader directed them both and I reckon he used the same moody 90s synth soundtrack too.
Solid 7 out of 10
Gillian Anderson is quite magnificent, and absolutely nails her portrayal. Rufus Sewell does brilliantly in what can't have been an easy gig. Basically you forget you're not watching the actual interview until it cuts to the deluded smiles of the royal advisors who think it's all going really well.
Brilliant.
9/10
Black comedy set in a small community on an island off the coast of Ireland during the Irish Civil War concerning the friction between some of the inhabitants.
Worth watching for Barry Keoghan's performance which is superb.
6.5/10.
Horror set in Victorian London. Before going to the electric chair, a serial killer places a curse on the jail in which he resides and everyone else in it. Enter two post mortem photographers who fancy themselves as psychic investigators, and a medium. Surprise surprise - said serial killer (Richard Brake, excellent) isn't quite as dead as everyone first believed.
The film also stars John Rhys-Davies, who puts in his usual good performance despite the paucity of the material with which he has to work (a feature of most of his recent output I'm afraid). This film is a mish-mash of influences, intentional or otherwise. There's a bit of Evil Dead; a soupcon of Hammer (especially The Asphyx); a whiff of Prince Of Darkness in a couple of scenes; and any number of devil-in-a-jail movies I've seen and promptly forgotten.
Aside from the two aforementioned leads I'm afraid that the rest of the acting is really poor, and the some of the mockney accents drove me to distraction. Unfortunately the dialogue is pretty crap as well and the ending is entirely predictable.
However, despite all of this I quite enjoyed it. It's well shot, atmospheric, fairly creepy and there's an unsettling undercurrent to it.
5/10.
It's a while since I've seen it and whilst it's 'Tom Hanks Solid' the fact that it's based on a true story makes it compelling to watch in it's own right. I think they get the balance right between the complex technical stuff, tugging on the heartstrings and making it dramatic enough to keep the interest alive. A good job from start to finish.
With regards to what actually happened, surely it's right up their with the greatest teamwork achievement of all time?
Everyone of the cast plays a blinder.
9/10
