Films you've watched recently.

To add to the Clint fest, Grand Tourissimo. Arnie in The Last Stand & The Foreigner starring Jackie Chan/Piers Brosnam.
 
White Riot.Excellent documentary on the 1978 Rock Against Racism (RAR) and Anti Nazi League (ANL) march to Victoria Park in London.(I was there,so was Rob Noxious and about 100,000 others).Only 42 years ago.Where does the time go? My only real criticism is that I would have liked to have seen a bit more concert footage from VP .Also why did Rubika Shah (the director) shy away from the (well known) fact that the ANL was a front for the Socialist Workers Party (SWP)? Didn't bother me and I was a CPGB member at the time.The reason I went on the march was to protest against racism and enjoy some great music.
 
Two to watch:

The Judge - Robert Downey Jr. stars as big city lawyer Hank Palmer, who returns to his childhood home where his estranged father, the town's judge (Robert Duvall), is suspected of murder. He sets out to discover the truth and along the way reconnects with the family he walked away from years before. Well worth watching with excellent performances from Downey and Duvall. 8/10 On Netflix.

Official Secrets is a 2019 British-American docudrama film based on the life of whistleblower Katharine Gun who leaked a memo detailing that the United States had eavesdropped on diplomats from countries tasked with passing a second United Nations resolution on the invasion of Iraq. Starring Keira Knightly, Matt Smith and Ralph Fiennes who are great 9/10 On Amazon Prime
 
Watched Once upon a time in London last night the true storey of Jack spot comer and Billy Hill the gangsters from the 30's to the late 50's, terrific film with special mentions to Lee Gregory and Terry Stone,well worth a watch.
 
I expect more from a Jason Statham film.

I don't get the Jason Statham love from the Americans. He's not fancied by most women, and most men wouldn't want to look like him. Normally the 2 ingredients needed in the roles he plays. In interviews, he hasn't shown charisma, wit or a personality. But fair play to him, he's still getting the roles, and is now a multi millionaire.
