Watched The Watchers, from Shymalams daughter, set in Galway. A bit meh.
The film or Galway?
Its not very good
Champion with Woody Harrelson in it is actually funny. First half decent comedy I’ve seen on Netflix in a while.
The Prestige is on BBC tomorrow night
No. It’s not at all. It’s a 90 minute film that’s about half an hour too long.

Had the house to myself over the weekend as wife and kids were away at the in laws.
Decided to watch 3 movies that I liked but hadn’t seen them in 20 years or so. Aslo i know id have a hard time convincing my better half to watch these

Reservoir Dogs: a great (violent) heist caper. Great performances all round esp from Steve Buscemi and Michael Madsen
. Really enjoyed it. Cracking Soundtrack -
True Romance: staying on the Tarantino vibe (he wrote this, not directed it). A love story big time but properly violent of course. Enjoyed it but probably not as much as above. I forgot Denis Hopper and Jimmy Gandalfini featured. Brad Pitt is great as the stoner roommate.

The French Connection : after 2 LA flicks, i fancied some 1970’s New York grit. It was a toss up between this or Serpico. The recent horrible passing of Gene Hackman swung it for me. A proper NY detective romp. Maybe not quite as excellent as i rememberd it but still decent.
I think somebody here referred this type of a weekend as a “lonely weekend”. It was just me and my dog 
. I’d i get time in a quet house:see_no_evil:

Yeah I usually like Soberburgh, literally the next day after i saw Black Bag, id forgotten the plot. It is well reviewed so might be better on a 2nd watch like many of his other flicks. Id doubt it though
A weekend well spent. Throw in The Outlaw Josey Wales there to top it all off

Had a quiet morning to myself and rewatched a film I hadn’t seen in about 30 years - Roland Joffe’s masterclass The Mission.
I probably didn’t appreciate how brilliant it actually was when I first saw it as a much younger man.

One of my absolute favourite films, an absolute masterpiece.

Ennio Morricone’s participation elevates it to another level.

I watched Copshop the other night. There’s a character in it that even though he doesn’t appear until half way through makes it worth watching.

Eh? 72 on Metacritic is above average.
