Watched Scum (1979) tonight, not seen it in absolutely ages. Still excellent. Surprised to find the whole thing on YouTube in decent quality:

After hearing many people talking about Below Deck (the reality TV series, not the Star Trek animation), I decided to give it a go. Currently watching S5 of the Mediterranean one, available on All4.
I have very little time in general for most reality shows, but this is surprisingly addictive and watchable.

(Unless you were referring to my previous post about Below Deck- but then why would there be a plane on it?)
Would you mind actually telling us the title of it?

Any Which Way You Can, the superior sequel to Every Which Way But Loose. Clint Eastwood is a bare knuckle boxer with a pet orang utan with a country and music soundtrack. Silly but lots of fun.w

My Friend Dahmer. About the teenage years of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. A study in how unchecked dispositions combined with unfortunate events and circumstance can have disturbing results. The film even ends before his first murder.
On Channel 4 catch-up if anyone’s interested. Well worth a watch.

Doctor Strange.
Great fun from Marvel. 5 years since seen this, already laying down the groundwork for the multiverse and nods to Nolan's Inception and maybe a tiny bit of inspiration for Tenet...
Strong British cast. Trippy visuals.

Recent Disney prequel/origin story that looks great and has wonderful Emmas Stone and Thompson but is maybe a bit overlong and the henchman channeling Bob Hoskins doesn't quite convince.

Reno
The In Kraut
It's based on an autobiographical graphic novel, which is well worth checking out. Its slightly crude drawing style is what really made it work for me, I thought it lost something by making it into a conventional film.

Dogs Don't Wear Pants. A couple of icky scenes, but not as extreme as I was expecting, and definitely not in a sex/nudity away. Quite touching/funny in places. I have a feeling a lot of people won't like the ending, but it didn't bother me.

Watched the only UK streaming (so far) of the first movie written by the genius that is Alan Moore, The Show. It was unsurprisingly a bit weird, pretty well-made for being quite low budget, decent acting apart from Moore himself, occasional echoes of his novel Jerusalem but nowhere near as clever.

I’ve been ploughing through films recorded on my BT tv box this week.
The personal history of David Copperfield - didn’t enjoy this much, but then I hate Dickens and costume drama pre 1900. Good fun spotting the various British actors.
Talented Mr Ripley - As good as I remembered it when it came out. Fun watch, decent acting. Made me feel I was in a warm Amalfi coast on a chilly day in England. Ripley a great antihero.
The Odessa File - not as good as the book. Decent Nazi catching thriller, Jon Voight has a dodgy tache though.
Die Hard with A Vengeance - hadn’t seen before, found this very boring. Not as fun as the previous ones, Irons hams it up for England but found the plot and silly games a bit tedious.
Stand by Me - hadn’t seen it for over 20 years. Loved the shots of the Oregon countryside. Simple premise, well executed.
The Sting - timeless classic, probably in my top 10 films. Glorious acting. Chicago in the depression seemed a tough life.
Heat - hadn’t seen this before. Found it flabby, overlong, quite boring too. Possibly one of the more overrated films, no doubt loved by Empire Magazine fans I expect.
How the West Was Won - epic western with an all star cast. One of the last westerns before Leone reinvented the genre. Beautiful shots of the scenery as America progresses through the 19th century.

Thought this was great. I really like John Wick(s) but Odenkirk elevates Nobody above that. Excellent violence; glowering enemies in Mexican stand-offs; tooling up scenes; improbably fast injury recovery - nothing new but good larks all the same.

Some more films watched last night / today.
The Hatton Garden Job - Matthew Goode leads a posse of old codgers including Larry Lamb in what is ultimately a boring crime caper. Shame as it’s quite an interesting story.
Buster - film about the big great train robbery. Phil Collins and Larry Lamb - again - lead a bunch of well dressed men who love their old mums and rob the mail train. Quite enjoyable, Collins plays Buster as a likeable rogue.
3000 miles to Graceland - yes another pisspoor crime film with a vague Elvis spin as some hoodlums rob a casino and escape with the loot, picking up a female sidekick on the way. Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell are in this, as is Courtney Cox. Only 20 years old this but feels like it’s in the 70s. I think the writer / director must have been having a midlife crisis, Costner must have done it after losing a bet. Silly film allegedly got some comedy in but not that funny.

So many particulars. So many questions.
not long after the court case ITV did a four parter, better than the films as I recall.

Perkins breaks his golden rule and brings forward another get-together of the gang. Will he cut Reader in, and can the police find them?

No matter how many times I watch this, I always fall for the twist at the end. Sign of an amazingly well constructed film that you forget you know how it ends.

More films on my BT box watched last night / today.
The Bridge at Remagen - subpar war film. Felt it lacked a certain something. Robert Vaughn as a defiant German soldier trying to do the decent thing was the best thing in it.
For A Few Dollars More A fistful of dollars - the first of the man with the no name trilogy. I didn’t enjoy this as much as I did before. Plot is good fun, back and forth. Good ending, and Leone’s buildup and use of music for tension is always worth watching.
True Grit (Coen brothers remake). Again I didn’t enjoy as much as when I first watched it. I think I recorded this thinking it was the original. Jeff Bridges brings some humour to his role
The Last of the Mohicans. As good as I remembered it. Great set piece battle scenes, some superb “running uphill with purpose” by Daniel Day Lewis. Awesome soundtrack and some fond memories of watching with my Mum and recreating the canoe scenes on holiday. Love some of the shots of the American landscape.

Next. A 10-episode sci-fi series about an AI programme becoming self aware and harbouring ill intentions for mankind. A highly original premise, said no one ever.
Nonetheless, it is well written and with good pace and action, and the AI antagonist is Machiavellian in its attempts to stop the handful of humans who are aware of what has happened. 6.5/ 10 and watchable. Available on the Disney + platform.

3:10 to Yuma. The original. Found this charming and loved the interaction between the homesteader and the bandit. Appears to be a remake with Crowe and Bale but not sure I’d bother.
The Alamo - the remake. A bit dull, can see why this failed.
24 hour party people - not sure why I’d recorded this as I’ve seen it a few times already. Plenty of fun, typical Winterbottom film.
