Latest Bridget Jones, awful 2 out of 10 at best, nae tits.

Rene what's her name continually doing a bad Bridget Jones impression while being Bridget Jones.

In today's woke world, who do you think she ends up with - the young white lad or the middle aged black lad 🤔

Well, given Edward Woodward is now replaced by a black female American rapper, I'm guessing a gender-fluid non-binary trans they/them that identifies as a persecuted lamp post or such like.

Nosferatu.

I quite liked it, probably enjoyed the cinematography more than the actual story.

I realise its a rip off of Dracula, but always feel vampire movies should concentrate on being scary / chilling, rather than the odd art-house eroticism they often to go for.

The famous dracula arrival scene of the ghost ship smashing into the coast of the (island) UK is iconic - but surely it doesnt work in nosferatu, given he is travelling from the carpathians to germany, where there is a direct land route and absolutely no reasonable means of going by ship!?!

it took me a while to place Ralph Ineson, playing one of the doctors in the film - it was his voice which helped. 

"Chris Finch ya c*nt!" I exclaimed upon seeing the light!

Night of the Generals.

I had long wanted to see this.  Its a detective thriller concerning the hierarchy of the German Army in the final period of WW2, when various Generals are suspected of a murder.  It starts in Warsaw where a prostitute is murdered but, as she was also a German agent, the Abwehr (German Intelligence) commence an investigation.

It has a great cast, including Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif, Donald Pleasance, Charles Gray etc.  (No doubt our modern woke sensibilities would now scorn Sharif, an Egyptian, playing a European lol.)

I thought it was OK, though I think its scope is too large - it quickly expands from Warsaw to include other locations and indeed time periods (the story extends to post war and post war scenes and mixed in with war time going son).  For me the result of this scale is that the material becomes quite shallow, in terms of the characters and plot.

Prob give it 6/10.  Maybe war film fans would get more out of it than crime thriller fans.  I always liked the idea of having a conventional crime thriller set amid war time, showing that "life goes on" even in war.

Ever read the Bernie Gunther novels by Philip Kerr? German detective in Berlin books spanning the rise of the Nazis right through to 1960's. Thank me later as they are....

Sounds good, thanks.

Last Breath - guy gets stranded at the bottom of the North Sea. Few shots of the Granite City looking magnificent. Any of you boys do that seabed shit?

7/10 no tits.

Just finished. Really good watch and an incredible story.

I sometimes sit in a room drinking tea telling the cunts which nut to tighten. 

That would have been the mother of all tea breaks when that shit went down.

Just saw they've made a fictional film about it. The trailer didn't make me want to watch it.

Really enjoyed the documentary about it though, also called Last Breath.
