"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I watched The Imitation Game last night, which I thought was a very good film. An outstanding performance by Benedict Cumberbatch as the mathematical genius Alan Turing who created the machine which broke the Enigma code in WWII. Enigma has always been a fascinating subject for me and I love films set in that period. It also made me want to revisit Michael Apted's Enigma, a fictional story but another very good film in my opinion.
I saw Mads Mikkelsen in a rare good-guy (or at least sympathetic guy) role in the Danish film A Royal Affair. He plays the personal physician to the borderline-insane King Christian VII, who rises to become virtual dictator of Denmark and lover of the queen. Good history, good entertainment.
Watched the amazing spiderman 2.
Never thought I'd get bored watching a superhero movie but I did.
The special effects are fine, but for large parts the story just plods along.
I much prefer the first film to this.

I like 2 a lot, but yeah, it's slow in spots. I also don't like the powers fading in & out, and MJ getting married. But it has one of the best lines ever in a superhero film:
"This is really heavy..." )
I prefer the first & third, but when I'm in the mood I'll watch the second.
Primeval :
Big Croc movie, with dumb people trying to catch a smart croc.
All the usual, characters, and all eaten in the usual way. I was
Too tired to change the channel. )

I saw that too yesterday, total pile of pooh, but fun in a daft way, Unlike Rome, New York has a more positive attitude to filming in its city, the scenes on the Empire state building observation deck brought back some great memories
butdid manage to watch "The Wizard of Oz" yesterday, any excuse to wear my red slippers and Dorothy bag
By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

I watched some of the Bulge, too, but it seemed odd in that it took place a) in height of summer and b) on the open plains, when it took place in December 44 and I thought it was amongst the woods, okay it was a large battle.
Watching The Avengers re-runs on True Entertainment that's channel 61, at 8pm. It's the Emma Peel black and white ones. Episodes end with them on some kind of jallopy or quirky vehicle. That said, having them on daily can be too much of a good thing.
Some future Bond alumni turn up, such as Max Kalba from TSWLM, as an East European.
Kingsman :
Great action film in the same vein as " Kickass" cartoon, over the top
Violence but tremendous fun. Colin Firth is great as the experienced
Agent ( I mentioned him long ago as a possible Bond villain -{ ). With
The wonderful Samuel l Jackson and Mark Strong.

I thought it was great fun. It's totally different from Bond ( although he does
Get a few mentions ) ) The fight choreography is amazing, there's one scene
With Colin Firth, getting all " Badass" , killing all round him.
All very silly but all great fun. -{ , Can't wait to get it on bluray.
( They seem to have used many of my own moves in the film )

My thoughts exactly!! Just got back from watching it and I absolutely loved it. A definite purchase on Blu Ray!
Just looked straight at Mr Porter as I'm rather taken by that Drakes blue stripped tie.
Totally agree with the above.
Went to see the film last night, and enjoyed it. The time just flew buy.
However considering the references to JB i am surprised that they didnt try to get either RM or SC to play the part of Arthur
I watched the blu-ray of Ben-Hur with some friends last night. I've been a fan of the film for some time, but seeing it on blu-ray was almost like an entirely new experience. It looks absolutely stunning in HD, the higher resolution makes some of the epic compositions and sequences even better to look at than on dvd.

Not quite as bad as I thought it was going to be given the reviews ...
Still pretty awful though.
Not bad at all. Quite creepy. Interesting concept and a little different.
Now I've finished my possession movie night ... I'm off to bed to have a good nights sleep ... or not! ...

Interesting links as the literary James Bond was involved in the Ardennes Offensive too!
Jennifer Connelly, that is all
"On whose side?"
