Demon City hitting Netflix next week looks a blast.
I’m not usually into feel good films, but I really enjoyed this - Champions. ( on Netflix )
Woody Harrelson plays a disgraced pro basketball coach who gets caught drink driving and is sentenced to 90 days community service, coaching a basketball ball team, made up of young adults with learning difficulties.
Harrelson is wonderful in his role, as are the actors who make up the basket ball team.
You can see the end coming a mile off, but that doesn’t matter as it’s such a heart warming film and really funny too.
A really good film to watch if you’re on a bit of a downer, as it’ll cheer you right up.

Did you watch to the very and the dance scenes?
I did, I was laughing my head off.
Harrelson and the basket ball team just blended so well, it was like he really was the coach.
It’s a really lovely film.

Brilliant film , Woody I think basically played himself, Showtime was like one of the Harlem globetrotters and the girl on the team was a natural actress
The Nature Boy
Player Valuation: £1.5m
To Live and Die in LA.
And then I found out there's a story about Connery, and... 'The Rock (Not technically a Bond movie, but Connery told the director he was going to play John Mason the way he played James Bond and the character is meant to evoke that.)'
a nic coppola bond film. how repulsive.

Watched Companion. It's had great reviews but I thought it was quite poor, like a bad Black Mirror episode. Sophie Thatcher did her best, but I felt Jack Quaid fell flat playing a cartoonish incel type character. All the other roles were barely sketches of real people. Good premise, poor execution
The Father,
It’s hard to put into words how good Anthony Hopkins is in this.
He portrays an elderly man with advanced dementia and the story follows his daughters attempts to care and look after him, as he slips in and out of various realities, as his dementia advances.
An incredible supporting cast includeint Olivia Coleman, Rufus Sewell and Mark Gattis.
It’s an incredibly difficult watch, but Hoskins is spell binding and both he and the film deserve every award it won.
It was on Film4 last night, so it will be on again.
Remarkable movie, very sad.
His good pal Bob went in similar circumstances very quickly. Diagnosed Parkinsons in 2011 and died April 2014.
That looks great/grim. Will watch. Reminds me of Still Alice with Julianne Moore, she is absolutely unreal in it. I worked for many years in a dementia care ward and it was uncanny how much she nailed the portrayal of it
