@Bones Not possible mate. Can't kidnap with social distancing rules. So we can rule that out.

and, in last night's "watch with the kids cinema" was...
Willow
1988!!! Midget helps baby, with help/comic relief from long haired Han Solo.
Look, it's old, so the effects are appalling by today's standards. And it's pre-Rings fantasy, so you know... but you know what, it's a bloody good family movie. My kids loved it (even if the cynical modern little shits did laugh at stuff) and i enjoyed it too.

Angel Has Fallen
Third in the Has Fallen series. Butler, Pinkett Smith and Freeman have all aged quite badly. Although Freeman is 82 now, so that had to be expected. Vanity posts aside, I really enjoyed it. It's colossal bullshit, and the body count is off the scale, but it's a load of fun, non stop action and even some good humour in it.
They don't even bother with twists. You sort of think he's the bad guy .. then he is .. then about 5 minutes later you think, oh he's the mastermind. And he is. And they don't even bother doing any sort of suspense in the reveal. It just is what it is.
Hopefully more legs left in this series. Big fan of it. Old school.
4.5 dead bad guys out of 5 predictable plots.

It's a Disaster
Four couples attend a brunch during which a war/ terrorist attack happens and they have to play out what they believe to be their last hours together. Not hilarious, not deeply dark, but amusing enough.

the never ending story
What a classic, has it all. Just what I needed whilst it is bucketing down outside😭
5 dead horses out of 5 unnamed princesses...??? No idea how that works -
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
I always liked this movie, probably because it was the only movie from the original trilogy that I saw when released. The violence is fairly tame with a PG-13 rating but a decent watch and enough action to entertain. I would rate them Mad Max 2 > Beyond Thunderdome > Mad Max.
3 Pox-Eclipses out of 5 Tomorrow-Morrow Lands
I even watched the video of "We Don't Need Another Hero". A virtual chocolate fish if you can pick out Dallaglio in the children's choir.

Once Upon a Time in London
Looking for something to watch, saw this, '30s gangster flick about the rise of organised crime in London. I liked Legend, and i do like a good gangster film, so i gave it a nudge.
It is not a good gangster film. It's really quite shit. There is fuck all in the way of a coherent story. The characters lack the charisma you always attribute to a gangster in a movie. But on top of that, it's terribly made. At least 2 key conversations are not heard, as they play the soundtrack over the top, i n a montage like scene. So you sort of jump forward while missing a link.
2 bashed bookies out of 5 wait, how did that just happen?
Avoid.
the fight scenes are even worse than an aged Robert De Niro trying to dish out beatings in The Irishman

@Nepia Yep, that's him.
Wayne Rogers, was never happy he had to play 2nd fiddle to Alan Alda during the first 3 seasons of Mash.
When time came to begin filming for season 4 he simply didn’t turn up. Hence why he was written out of the show so suddenly ( no plot story or goodbye involving Hawkeye)Yeah I’ve watched Mash a fair few times..
