The trial of the Chicago 7 on netflix is brilliant.
@Brian Dunne: hi hó hi hó it’s off to Netflix I go… I’m coming bac to review your review
The Imitation Game is a brill movie!! If you haven’t already it’s def worth a watch!
The Imitation Game is really good.
Not a movie but ‘it’s a sin’ on All4 is bloody brilliant. One of the best things I’ve seen on tv in a long time and excellent 80s soundtrack as a bonus.
The last paradiso seems like it’s referencing or paying homage to another Italian movie, but I can’t think of it now.
@Eugene Norman: can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. Cinema Paradiso.
@Eugene Norman: Cinema Paradiso I think, but the story is totally different.
Now you’re just trolling
have your say
