American expat Mickey Pearson has built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.
There’s really nothing new to this story but I still like how it was told. Particularly the parts that were told my Hugh Grant
★★★
A young man who was sentenced to 7 years in prison for robbing a post office ends up spending 30 years in solitary confinement. During this time, his own personality is supplanted by his alter ego, Charles Bronson.
The part with the tea trolley and the disco in secure unit are some of my favourite scenes ever.
★★★
Gellert Grindelwald has escaped imprisonment and has begun gathering followers to his cause—elevating wizards above all non-magical beings. The only one capable of putting a stop to him is the wizard he once called his closest friend, Albus Dumbledore. However, Dumbledore will need to seek help from the wizard who had thwarted Grindelwald once before, his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
Had no memory of watching this but some of it seemed familiar. Eventually realised we’d watched the start and given up at some point. The eldest liked it (11) youngest was bored and left…
Seemed adequate but little more than a stepping stone.
★★★

a) working properly
b) better than the old version
A thrilling and inspiring true story begins on the eve of World War II as, within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.
I serously doubt there are many people in the world that this will even make sense to… but the continuing saga of the NHS BMI widget is quite something. It’s not even as if BMI is a decent measure of ANYTHING.
A mysterious, tall, blonde woman wearing sunglasses murders one of a psychiatrist's patients, and now she's after the prostitute who witnessed it.
For De Palma the director, this is probably a 4 or 5 star film. The visuals are superb and the performances are spot on. Very New York, too.
For De Palma the writer, this is some sleazy, voyeuristic, exploitation shit, that I find very weird.
★★★½
