February 25, 201511 yr Yesterday i sat through one of the worst films i've ever seen; Perfect Summer crap cast, terrible story, hopeless acting. I wouldn't recommend this one.
February 26, 201511 yr Kingsman was really good. A great plot, great acting and an all round excellent film. Both the action and comedy was good which is rare. 9/10
March 1, 201511 yr I saw Kingsman yesterday.. Top film! I recommend going to see it, there's a scene in a church and freebird is playing, it's absolutely top notch! Like Richard above, I give it a 9/10
March 2, 201511 yr Fury on DVD. A good film. I'm trying to forget the scene where the new gunner has to clean the tank. It would have been a brilliant film save for the end where the crew and tank hold off hundreds of Germans. It strained belief. 7/10.
March 2, 201511 yr Can't remember if I've said this already, 'After Lucia', Mexican film, excellent but harrowing. Started to watch a French film the other night about a couple in their 80s, too distressing and so I had to press the off switch, shame as the filming of a French apartment and the love between the couple was done well. (Can't for the life of me remember the title.)
March 4, 201511 yr Berberian Sound Studio - Very good and very weird psychological horror film set in a 1970s Italian horror film studio, directed in the style of a 1970s Italian horror film. It won'be be everybody's cup of tea because the plot (deliberately) stops making any sense as the main character loses his mind. I enjoyed it a lot.

The actor, Toby...?, was also in Hitchcock, he's an amazing guy. When I first watched it on TV the actor gave an interview afterwards which only added to it.

March 4, 201511 yr Toby Stephens? Son of Mag gie Smith and Robert Stephens? He does a mean suave baddie! Just looked it up Moi, Toby Jones.
March 4, 201511 yr Just looked it up Moi, Toby Jones. Oh, I don;t know him! Will have to investigate!
March 4, 201511 yr Birdman. Michael Keaton is schiz, most of the film is shot in a single take, barring a couple of scenes. Ed Norton is refreshingly bonkers. 8/10
March 4, 201511 yr The Man in the Iron Mask (1998), obviously aimed at a younger audience, so not too surprising that it was not particularly faithful to the book, or in the least bit faithful to history, but an enjoyable ride all the same. Good cast too, plus Depardieu as Porthos was truly a sight to see!

When I first watched it on TV the actor gave an interview afterwards which only added to it.Toby Jones is perfectly cast as the misfit sound tech. I've not seen Hitchcock but I did enjoy watching him in The Detectorists last year in which he plays a fairly similar awkward/geeky type.I'd highly recommend The Detectorists by the way for anybody who hasn't seen it. It was a six part sitcom on BBC4 written by and starring Mackenzie Crook and was one of my favourite comedies of recent years. Edited March 5, 201511 yr by bluedave

March 5, 201511 yr After many years, I finally watched Donnie Brasco. Great film as good as I hoped it would be, knowing what happened after made for uncomfortable viewing at the end though.
March 6, 201511 yr Operation Daybreak 8.5/10 Based on the real life Operation Anthropoid, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in the Second World War. A good film and a great film to watch for anyone who enjoys war films or is interested in WW2. I thought I knew every WW2 film but this is a new one on me. I recently read a book HH about the assasination and it was very good. Off to Pirate Bay I go.
March 6, 201511 yr I thought I knew every WW2 film but this is a new one on me. I recently read a book HH about the assasination and it was very good. Off to Pirate Bay I go. It's a pretty unknown film as far as I know and had a limited release. If you like 60s/70s WW2 films I'd definitely recommend it.
March 6, 201511 yr That's the one. I love Norman Wisdom, except when he breaks out into song haha. For some strange reason which I can't explain, I've always found Norman Wisdom quite creepy!
March 6, 201511 yr For some strange reason which I can't explain, I've always found Norman Wisdom quite creepy! Absolutely! Totally cringeworthy!
March 6, 201511 yr I'm a huge fan of Norman Wisdom. I was given a box set of his films when I was young and have loved him ever since! If I first watched them now, I'm not so sure I'd like them. Edited March 6, 201511 yr by RichardCFC

March 6, 201511 yr Hummingbird. Jason Stathem typical revenge punchy film. Not enough punch up action for my liking and too much fluff between said punching. 6/10 Just re-watched Drive. I love this film. 10/10
