All of you here for the yodeling lesson, please form an orderly orderly orderly orderly queue.

Trumbo [2015]

Award winning biopic that comes across as too sugared up and self-indulgent for some covering the one of Hollywood’s top writers battling the dark ages of McCarthyism.

Mama Mia: a classic Abba song or a Yorkshire lad telling his mother he's arrived?

He joined a dyslexic poetry club last night and ended up making 2 pots and a vase.

Truth [2015]

As news dramas go this one is easy to watch covering the final days of "Rathergate" at CBS before the 2004 US elections.

Billy: My dad has been painting the fences all week, it's taking the contagious.

There's a new soccer themed DVD out by Bonnie Tyler called 'Football - How not to save free kicks'.

Blue Is The Warmest Colour [2013]

Controversial award winning visceral French coming of age lesbian movie where each scene looks so real as the director beats it out of two very photogenic leads.

Lady Macbeth [2017]

Superb imagery and script. Based on a 19^th Russian novel, this adaptation set in rural England of a young sexually feisty woman who finds release with her oppressive husband’s farmhand but even he cannot match the levels to which she will stoop.

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist [2014]

Somewhat inconclusive documentary film on the rise and fall of the Italian cyclist during the height of the sports doping scandal. Cyclists will go for it!

Rosewater [2014]

Interesting dramatization based on a 2009 true story when a Newsweek journalist having appeared on The Daily Show satire news show ends up being tortured in Iranian solitary confinement for several months partly because of it.

The Homesman [2014]

Excellent old-fashioned high plains western that does not disappoint with some unexpected surprises and unusual oddball characters. Worth watching more than once.

Mr Holmes [2015]

Sherlock with dementia! The screenplay is so dull the fine acting cannot lift it.

Remember when Trump visited a kindergarten class last week well this video was just leaked...

The Founder [2016]

Biopic of Ray Krok, founder of the McDonalds hamburger franchise at first seems dull with the usual Hollywood clichéd Americana imagery from the 1950’s but engages with a good lead performance and the confrontational scenes with the McDonalds brothers.

Jawbone [2017]

An absorbing gritty UK movie about a retired underdog alcoholic boxer who tries to redeem himself with one more fight. HD download available.

David Attenborough narates A Night Out In Yorkshire

The Wizard Of Lies [2017]

Good lead acting carries off the sociopath Madoff Ponzi fraud story. Worth watching.

The Immigrant [2014]

A period piece that effectively recreates the scene of 1920s New York, the story of a polish immigrant woman fleeing Europe’s wars and now the clutches of Vaudeville and prostitution. Worth seeing if only once.

The Filth and The Fury [2000]

Only recently had time to sit and watch this. A well-put together rock-documentary covering the late 70’s era and the rise and fall of the Sex Pistols during that period.
