A mother who always accepted her son can do no wrong, even when he is being charged for attempted murder of his wife- slowly realises she may have been wrong.

Rockers rule 673 #3076 Posted September 8, 2020 The Owners. One to avoid. Nice to see Rita Tushingham again and she probably steals the limelight in what is nothing more than a hark back to the days of the old 'Hammer House Of Horror' films. Despite good reviews the story line is poor with nothing new here at all. While I luv nostalgia Is this the best we can do in 2020 ? 3/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nikki-red 307 #3077 Posted September 12, 2020 Room. 9/10 Beautiful, heart rending story of a woman and her little boy, kept captive in a small enclosed space. Incredible acting performances from Brie Larson, but especially from Jacob Tremblay who I think was 9 when it was made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hauxwell 243 #3078 Posted September 12, 2020 Room. I agree with nikki-red about this film. The acting was very good especially from J Tremblay. I’ve watched a few films lately and I have been disappointed with the endings, but I enjoyed how this film ended. 9/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Funky_Gibbon 42 #3079 Posted September 16, 2020 The Devil All The Time - 9/10 Great cast for this very dark gothic noir Netflix film about murder and religious fervour set in poverty-stricken middle of nowhere Ohio in the 1950s and 1960s.

Watched this last night- as you say, a great castand good to see Tom Holland act so well in his role, giving a glimpe of his versatility (from playing the superhero). Must add that also applies to Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier- Marvel) and Robert Pattison (soon to play Batman). I give the film around 8/10.

Funky_Gibbon 42 #3083 Posted September 25, 2020 Enola Holmes - 6.5/10 Based on the young adult 'Enola Holmes Mystery' books and borrowing heavily style-wise from both the Robert Downey Jr and Benedict Cumberbatch versions of Sherlock Holmes, this isn't the most original film in the world but it's still pretty entertaining. Millie Bobby Brown is great as the title character and Henry Cavell isn't bad as Sherlock either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hello Funky Me and HTSBO watched it last night. good innocent fun with no rat a tat tat of machines (ok a few entertaining fight scenes). Well filmed olde worlde street scenes Nothing to tax the brain too much. Probably give it a little bigger score of 7 - 7.5 out of 10. Enjoyable family entertainment. Well worth watching.
