    This is a really good dramatisation of behind the scenes in the ABC Sports newsroom during the Munich 1972 massacre. It’s cut seamlessly with live footage and explores moral dilemmas where the interest of the hostages, the viewing public and that of the broadcaster conflict. There are some superb performances especially from John Magaro and the attention to detail in recreating the 70’s recording studio is superb. Really enjoyed this. Go watch it.

      Heart Eyes.
      Rom Com Slasher. Thought this was a lot of fun. Sweet Rom, funny Com and doesn’t skimp on the Slashing. Recommend if you like this sort of thing.

      Homegrove I wouldn’t normally expect this to be a good movie theatre film, but actually you get a real sense of the claustrophobia in the studio watching it in the cinema.

          Wasily it’s opening here at the end of March, so will have to wait awhile longer.

              Nice list. Should have heating back in the fillin room next week so good timing!

                The Gorge. Pretty decent but daft sci fi action about 2 snipers tasked with guarding a mysterious gorge on opposite sides of it. Wasn’t expecting too much but enjoyed it.

                    The Order - not bad. Worth a watch. 7.5 KKK hoods / 10

                      Lawrence of Arabia

                      Peter O’Toole plays an English homosexual who minces around the Middle East in an attempt to further British colonialism and indulge his own ego, before discovering to his horror that he has no aptitude for politics, but does have an appetite for murdering foreigners.

                      It’s a fairly decent melodrama but it just looks gorgeous, the cinematography is pure boss, it’s like something from a Moebius / Jodorowski panel. Came away from it hating modern cinema even more.

                        Sounds like one of Smallman’s Corfu soirées

                          Amps even I’d seen that before! It’s my dream to catch it at cinema one day. Modern TV are a huge step up from tube TVs for movies, but for some they are still not enough.

                              The Beast (2023). French sci fi that crosses three timelines. Very confusing while you’re watching, but if you can concentrate on it for the length (2,5 hours) it will make some sense in the end. Lea Seydox does an all timer performance.

                                  Homegrove Yeah, caught this in an arthouse flick when it came out. Decent.

                                      We watched Duel (1974) the other night. Of its time but a decent watch. 7/10

                                        Well done!

                                        Would be interesting to see in the cinema, but I’d have to be in the right mood, it’s an okay film but not something I’m desperate to watch again straight away. The cinematographer was Freddie Young, and looking at his credits his talent was wasted on some proper average stuff bar this and Zhivago. He must have thought he’d struck gold when he did Battle of Britain with that cast and crew, but it’s a proper turkey.

                                            Amps I done this over 2 nights one time as I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. Has that lazy Sunday afternoon ambience that makes for a decent kip. I loved it anyway, and will most likely do it all again pretty soon.

                                              Went to see Bridget Jones. Quite liked it to be honest.

                                              There. I said it.
