Beckham [2023 TV Limited Series]

A chronicle of David Beckham's rise from working-class beginnings to global soccer stardom. Surprisingly enjoyable four part binge that transcends the game, with a large cast of intriguing then and now famous interviews across three continents, cleverly offsets Beckham's own typically dull persona other than when he was kicking the ball.

Bit of a theme going there 🙄

I'm sure Ben's not a big fan of him 😋

The Royal Hotel [2023]

Two foreign backpackers take a work and travel job in a remote Australian pub for some extra cash and are confronted with a bunch of unruly locals and a situation that grows rapidly out of their control. Bloody oath, this is a fun psychological thriller along the lines of a Tarantino flick, when other cultures get to sample outback Australian pub life.

I remember going to Mt Dare a few years ago, 

 

Population 3 - 5 people

 

But a great pub, 

 

Petrol double what it is elsewhere but they bring it in on road train on dirt roads, 

 

And some real nut cases 

 

 

Along the same theme there is on Netflicks a true story of a murder in an outback Oz in a town of 13 people

 

One of them did it, 

 

Real story

 

Worth watching too

The Last Rifleman [2023]

A WWII veteran escapes his care home in Northern Ireland and embarks on an arduous but inspirational journey to France to attend the 75th 2019 anniversary of the D-Day landings, finding the courage to face the ghosts of his past. This movie, based on true events of Bernard Jordan who pulled off the feat in 2014 from and English care home, oddly came online within days of a similarly themed movie The Great Escaper set in the actual year with more accurate character names and places. Both movies worth a look, but this one seems more cliched in style and superfluous with the prosthetics and name changes for what was the same story.

The Great Escaper [2023]

Based on the true story of Bernard Jordan, an ex-WWII naval sailor, who, known to his wife who lives with him in the home, walks out alone to attend the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings in France. Two strong leads in their last ever elderly roles carry this all the way with their down to earth performances over a subject matter that could have gotten all sentimental and patronizing but thankfully doesn't.
