Lighten the Mood .. movies

[Logicalman]

On the advice of one of our sons yesterday, we watched The Gentlemen https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13210838/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_1 last night.
Usual fun and games (and not a little language) served up in classic Guy Ritchie style, by a good cast of characters. Fun to watch, slightly different manner of storytelling, but engaging as ever.


Also watched Death to 2020 https://www.netflix.com/title/81332175  starring Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudro & Tracy Ullman, and others. A Satirical view of the year, very much in the John Oliver (Last Week Tonight) style - but more polished, and funnier. Usual victims of politicians and others in the headlines.

Is the Gentleman a good watch its been on my list to watch.

Also a little of thread but does anybody watch Taskmaster

I'm not up with the latest films tbh, but i'll look out for these.

My reason for replying is that Samuel L Jackson is such a phenomenal actor and 'Coach Carter' remains one of my all-time favourite films. Anyone who's in to sports themed films and SLJ will love it.

I haven't seen the latest series of Taskmaster on C4 yet, how does it compare? Favourably, i'm presuming.

Peanut Butter Falcon on Netflix. Feel good movie. Very good.

Yeah very good no real changes except some of the tasks have to be done socially distant which made it funnier .

There was a one off special on last night worth a watch if its on the player

The Gentleman is excellent. A personal favourite is The Way with Martin Sheen and directed by his son Emilio Estevez. It's about walking the Camino way across northern Spain, its slow paced but good.

If you like Lock Stock, Snatch, etc, then you will like The Gentlemen. Colin Farrell is in his best role thus far (imo), Hugh Grant and Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy, Green Street) carry their roles off perfectly, and Matthew McConaughey & Michelle Dockery both put to bed any ideas of prim and proper actors. Engaging, funny, and will leave you laughing out loudly (Love The Jam touch at the end credits as well) - as for the ninja boxers with Go cams, yeah, well, seen to be believed.

Did you see him in Unthinkable (with SLJ & Michael Sheen)?   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0914863/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Thought provoking at it's best.

Cheers I'll watch the Gentleman after the darts

Horrors and Thrillers, with lots of twists are awesome. I watched 'Cellular', seen it before, very watchable again.

I just saw Green Book and it was brilliant.

[The Rock]

Ted Lasso (on Apple TV, that's the caveat). Yank American College football coach hired by some divorcee from Wandsworth to ruin her ex-husbands fictional Premier League team called Richmond AFC. Have only seen the first few episodes but entertaining.

I've heard it's good. Not having AppleTV it's something I'll have to wait on until it's licensed to another broadcaster.
I recall NBC commissioned the original videos for this when they got the rights to the EPL.

Here's the original - An American Coach in London:

and the sequel - The Return of Coach Lasso

Just watched another goodie: Official Secrets with Keira Knightley, Matt Smith, Matthew Goode & Ralph Fiennes. True story based on the leaking of the US memo just prior to the 2003 Gulf War by GCHQ worker Katharine Gun

ALG, thanks for the recommendation for Green Book. We just finished watching it, and found it excellent. I have been a Mortensen fan since the Crimson Tide & GI Jane days, and this was a different role, but he carried it off just as well, the fact we share exactly the same birth date and he's a Fulham Fan has nothing to do with it!

They struggle to make decent films anymore,special effects have taken over from acting.
