And all the time I had the overwhelming feeling they were just recylcing the storyline and details from part V and VI. Like Scott's Prometheus was just a remake of the first Alien from 79.

Screenplay writers seem to have run out of own new ideas. Is this now Francis Fukuyama's "end of story"?

I don't think I was sarcastic enough with my review of The Last Jedi.

Well when I get around to the final part in a few years time I shall make up for it.

As for Solo I will not bother making any effort to watch that one.

Sky, rehashing old story lines with a silly spin is the in thing for Hollywood screen writers fresh out of kinda garden wearing their size 12 nappies.

Agreed

Are the "The Marine" movies a load of crap or are they good?

Sophisticated? No, Funny? Yes.

A very good film about war time atrocities and post war expediency.

I finally got the chance to see the new version of Journey's End on Blu Ray. It was a very limited theatrical release here and poorly advertised so I missed it.

I thought it was excellent. Particularly Paul Bettany who I always like in these types of films.

Shark fans are going to like this one..

What next? Super Meg?

Jimbuna · 05-18-18, 09:43 AM

I liked the first one so hopefully the sequal will be just as good.

STEED · 05-27-18, 04:38 AM

Watched again Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy last night apart from those dozen changes I still feel this is a good film with a good cast and well directed. Just wondering when Gary Oldman is going to make Smiley's People.
