What concerns me is that if they make too many of these spin-offs, a Star Wars movie won't seem like an event anymore; it'll just become a bit run-of-the-mill

Straight off the sub's bench! Didn't meet him last time but will make a point of doing so this year.

Was watching some of the wedding on tv and I'm sure I saw her in the congregation. (Quotes his own post :-D)

Sad news. Rest In Peace.

Hannibal (2001) Not quite up there with The Silence of the Lambs, but an entertaining film nonetheless. Some amazing visuals from Ridley Scott, particularly the scenes in Florence. I shouldn't have watched it before dinner though...

Thor: Ragnarok Once I attuned myself to the humour-level I rather enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed that rock guy and Cate Blanchett's outfit!

Talented people-particularly like Jeff Cummins' work.

Night Terrors- another good Mark Gatiss story.

A decent price too.

With these movies you only really get the full reward if you're fully up to speed with the events of the previous instalments. The pressure to get these right must be immense as they are so expensive to make.

Mindhorn (2016) Julian Barratt as Richard Thorncroft is Mindhorn- he can literally "see the truth." Steve Coogan as Peter Easterman is " Windjammer" (sidekick who made it big). Ridley Scott is Exec. Producer. Ken Brannagh, Simon Callow and that bloke from "Horrible Histories" are in it. What more do you need to know- very funny British comedy.

Mrs. Miggins! She made a fortune when Greggs bought her out.

Guy is polishing his jackboots in anticipation...

John Barrowman Greg Hemphil & Ford Keirnan from "Still Game" (it's a Scottish thing...)

Annihilation (2018) Some of the Netflix movies have been underwhelming but this bucked the trend. Thought-provoking science fiction which is quite unsettling at times-recommended.
