Today Ms Baldy and I went to the cinema (The Curzon, Bloomsbury) and we saw this amazing film (based on real events). A woman exits prison and has to claim her children back.

The Lesson. Thriller on Netflix with Richard E. Grant. A tutor is hired by a wealthy couple to prepare their son for an Oxford U entrance exam. Well that’s the pretext anyway. I’m not going to give anything away except to say it’s by far the best film I’ve seen this year. It’s a bit of a slow burner but once the plot unfolds I found it compelling viewing and certainly an 8.5/10.

Currently on the BBC i-Player. Based on a true story from WW2. The special effects are not good, but the acting and story carries the film.

When I was about 8 I was ill and had been of school for a while , my father always had two books on the shelf , one was 'The Dam Busters' the other was 'The Cockleshell Heroes' . I had always just looked at the pictures in both books them one day I picked up the 'The Cockleshell Heroes' book and opened at the page that said Wallace and Ewart were tied to the two posts and shot . It was then that I realised that Wallace and Ewart were real people not just the pictures in the book . I have been down to Southsea Portsmouth several time going to the places where these guys all trained for the mission , the pubs that they drank in and the house's that they were billeted in . There is a seat on Canvey seafront dedicated to Bill Sparkes who lived on Canvey for a while If ever a film needed a remake it is this one . What these guys did makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end , those that were captured before be executed were to be 'question' with no holds bard ,Hitlers orders on all commandos caught . It was only after this film was made that the true facts came out what the guys that were captured went through .
 
Deep Cover, 2025 available on Amazon Prime.

A comedy thriller set in London about three improv comedians who get persuaded to go undercover in order to help catch shopkeepers selling hooky fags. Unfortunately, or fortunately for the story, things quickly spiral out of control!

It is not a bad film, but maybe one for Saturday night after a trip to the pub. There is one thing where an event is mentioned twice, before and after it happened, but it is not seen on screen. I thought I had missed it and had to back to watch it again, but it definitely is not in the film, but maybe its on the cutting room floor.

It contains a bunch well known actors including Ian McShane, who at 82, cracks a joke about the age of another of the characters!

The Old Guard 2 - utter sheite 4/10 and that’s only because Uma’s in it. Obviously lined up for a third in the Franchise. Shame it could have been so much better. Thin plot, thinner acting.
