Well that's what it says on the tin (Wikipedia). Tormenting is a good word, the film is either a brilliant insight into some ones battle with dementia or just a mish mash of well shot film that fails as a film altogether. I'll go for the latter. Is it me ? I go in my garage create something and I'm proud of my work. We appear to be in a time when Films are being turned out left right and centre usually well shot and with excellent graphics yet somehow the end result is poor to say the least. Do these so called Directors etc not look at the finished result? or are they happy with achieving the 'Rotten Tomato' accolade. Well made film great acting but hardly worth watching (IMO) Capone 2020 poor 4+/10 For me the best Al Capone film ever has to be the film with the same title 'Capone' (1975) 10/10 Rod Steiger wasn't a bad Capone. I remember my old man taking me to see 'Al Capone' at Hillsborough Kinema around 1960. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'm huge crime buff and particularly anything to do with organized crime, so was looking forward to this- big let down IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Funky_Gibbon 42 #3016 Posted May 26, 2020 'Code 8' (Netflix) - 7/10 Scifi set in a future where super-powered people are the social underclass that is forced to live in poverty and subjected to bigotry from the normal people. That setting is then bolted on to a fairly standard story about a man, desperate to save his mother from her illness, who falls into the criminal underworld to raise money. Actually quite enjoyable. Decent cast of recognisable C-list actors, the fantastical elements of the story aren't overdone and the special effects used sparsely but are good.

alchresearch 214 #3019 Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Project Almanac (2015) on Film Four. Absolutely terrible time travel movie, filmed in the "found footage" style. So many plot holes and flaws in it. 2/10 Edited May 28, 2020 by alchresearch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
zach 234 #3020 Posted May 28, 2020 30 Days of Night 30 Days of Night - Dark Days A bit of a modern twist on the vampire horror films. The first is much better IMO, so, 8/10 for the first, 5.5/10 for the second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Today I enjoyed a good comedy starring Cary Grant - Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House. You can watch it on the BBC 2 Iplayer if you want a good laugh.

despritdan 241 #3022 Posted May 28, 2020 The Commune on BBC iPlayer. A Danish drama set in the 70s about a middle aged couple who inherit a large house and invite their friends to come and live with them to help pay the running costs. Everything's fine until he starts an affair with a young female student and decides to move her in. His wife puts on a brave face and pretends she's fine with it, but eventually her anger and frustration start to leak out then bubble over and she goes a bit bonkers. 7/10.
