Serves you right - rock biopics are usually crap - I will not be touching this with a bargepole

Sex & Drugs & Rock N' Roll is great. Buddy Holly story, The Doors one isn't too bad.

Thought the music was good (as I said) also in the Queen movie.I also make MKS right in his short list of decent rock movies.*

*Edit .Been thinking about this and would also inlude the Ritchie Valens (La Bamba) biopic +Jerry Lee Lewis film (Great Balls of Fire)+the more recent(and Oscar nomonated) Ray Charles film.

All Is True.kenneth Branagh's excellent filml of the last 3 years in Shakespeare's life.With Judi Dench and Ian Mckellen (on DVD).
Disgraceful that this still hasn't got a cinema release in Barna.

Only went as it was an opportunity to meet up with mates who wanted to see it
Haven’t seen 1 or 2
Crap

kajaki - on tv last night, second time I have seen it. Afganistan war film that is apparently very accurate.
You feel the helplessness of the men as they find themselves trapped in a minefield.
Very moving , the bravery of the men is incredible
9.0
It’s the type of was film that Hollywood doesn’t do

Liked the music in the `Queen` movie but that`s all - luckily I did not have to pay to watch it

Good film if a bit slow - struggled to keep awake in the middle of it

Excellent film - the punters all clapped at the end

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Anyone seen 'Godzilla King of Monsters'?. My son in NY saw it at the weekend, reckoned the human actors were like cardboard cut outs, but the monster fighting scenes were worth paying the admission money for.

Wouln't suprise me if I have to wait until next March to see it here-at the Beefeater-inedit music festival- where they often show musical documentaties of this kind.Out on DVD in September I see.

Kajaki is a great film and really accurate unlike a lot of the American military films. Shame they didn’t have the budget or the attention some other highly inaccurate military films get (American Sniper is a big one).

No but I heard he did quite a job on Basildon.

He only needed one bullet for most of the Iraqis he shot.

How is that highly inaccurate?

Read his book!

I've seen the film.

And there is massive discrepancies between both. Bradley Cooper has played him completely wrong to what the man himself wrote in the book.
