Outlaw king was great! watched it yesterday and found it very nicely done. battle at the end is top notch!

[Womble67]

Me and the Wife watched the captain last night, we thoroughly enjoyed the film but couldn't understand his lack of compassion for his fellow deserters considering he was one

Take care

Wife and I watched the Outlaw King last night and both enjoyed it. With 45 minutes left I wondered aloud to my wife how they were going to get all the way to Bannockburn. But then saw what they did. Clever (and within budget)! Like the various nods to spiders and their webs.
In discussing its look compared to Braveheart my wife noted that only similarity seemed to be that the English don't come off very well!

This might be the time to mention that Braveheart made use of Reenactment societies.

Hmmm ... yes ... one particular reenactment society - The Clan - which is actually more of a cult than a re-enactment society in any true sense of the word!

In other news, for the aerially inclined amongst us looks like Pete Mitchell is returning to the danger zone in 2020......in a F-18 this time....those pesky MiG 28's better look out

I have high hopes ... but low expectations for "The Witcher"

The film of the game of the book!!!

So epic!

I'm afraid that the Americans will just ruin the show with their twisted political agendas and whatnot.

Apparently it has already been ruined by political correctness and inclusivity. Indian Yennefer for eaxmple...

I made the mistake of starting to watch 'Another Life' on Netflix - that was a huge mistake.
Is it me. Am I getting old & prudish. Or does a film/series really have to have the cast saying "wat the f**k!' every other sentence!
As for the plot line - strewth - even early editions of Star Trek have more complexity.

A definite '-10 out of 10' rating from me. Not even any really cool alien baddies either.

I am however, greatly looking forward to the next in the Altered Carbon franchise ... being a big fan of the books

>>Or does a film/series really have to have the cast saying "wat the f**k!' every other sentence!

The most obvious example of this change in culture we came across is in the US political series "Designated
Survivor".   

Series 1 & 2 were almost swear free but with Series 3, every sentence is effin this and effin that.   It felt
really odd.   Perhaps its the result of the 'Game of Thrones' effect (sex and swearing pushed to the max
now sells and has become expected).

I have no problem with swearing on the telly (or naked ladies !!) but overuse just kills any sense of impact
it can have.
