Although I'd seen it before still enjoyed A Bronx Tale. Taral Hicks was 😜 was and I liked Joe Pesci's little cameo at the end.

MobLand - TV series

Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine, et al

Guy Ritchie also directs a bit and produces.

I'm 6 episodes into this, waiting with anticipation for the remainder.

This is very good.

"Tom Hardy's gruff charisma is put to good use in MobLand, a gangster saga that hardly reinvents the genre but nails its conventions with crunchy style and memorable performances."

The Courier (2020) is an English movie directed by Dominic Cooke. The film takes place during the height of the Cold War.

It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Greville Wynne, a middle-class mid-level British business man. Oleg Penkovsky, portrayed by Mereb Ninindze, is a high-ranking Soviet official who knows that there's a real chance of nuclear war.

British intelligence recruits Wynne to make a connection with Penkovsky...

Very good, fine acting.

Tantura

2022.   1h 34m

In the war of 1948, hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated. Israelis call it 'The War of Independence. Palestinians call it 'Nakba"'. The film examines one village- Tantura and why "Nakba" is taboo in Israeli society.

---

A credible docco style offering, with a massacre of the villagers, being central to the story. There are "Truthers" and "Deniers" a plenty.

So soon after the events in Europe, this movie serves to demonstrate that,  Humans are an evil bunch and that "History is written by the victor."

No more sympathy for the Jews of Israel, from me.*

 

* I have written elsewhere that I once courted the lovely Shona, but her parents shot me down. on account of I am a Gentile. So I am not anti semite, but I am disappointed, in a love lost.
