Hi All, Life (Via Sky Cinema) An excellent Sci-Fi film despite only having six cast members the film keeps moving and keeps your attention throughout easily watchable again....
Starring:-Jake Gyllenhaal,Rebecca Ferguson,Ryan Reynolds,Hiroyuki Sanada,Ariyon Bakare and Olga Dihovichnaya.
Astronauts (Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds) aboard the International Space Station are on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. As members of the crew conduct their research, the rapidly evolving life-form proves far more intelligent and terrifying than anyone could have imagined.
Geoff. There's always a "Don't do it you fuking idiot" moment in these type of films.

Hi All, Nine Lives (Via Talking Pictures channel on Sky) Classic 1943 war film still watchable even though of it's time if your into the genre.....
Starring:-Jack Lambert,Gordon Jackson,Frederick Piper,Grant Sutherland,Bill Blewitt,Eric Micklewood,John Varley, Jack Horsman,Richard Wilkinson,Crawford Giulio Finzi and Fred Griffiths.
In a barrack room at a Battle Training Ground in England, a platoon of conscripts are complaining about blisters and are impatient to get into action with the enemy. Sergeant Jack Watson tells them that they need a little bit extra to be successful in combat, which he illustrates with a story from his previous experience in the Western Desert Campaign.
His story is then shown in flashback. Lieutenant Crawford, Sergeant Watson and the seven men under their command are travelling through the Libyan desert in an Allied convoy, when their lorry becomes stuck in the sand and the convoy moves on without them. They are attacked by German aircraft, injuring Crawford and Johnson and setting fire to the lorry. They come across a derelict hut. Lieutenant Crawford orders them to hold out there until help arrives, but then dies. With only a limited supply of ammunition and their own wits to help them survive, they are then besieged by Italian troops.

Despite everything, it is vital that the information they have gained is returned.

Hi All, The Way Ahead (Via Talking Pictures channel on Sky) Another classic 1944 war film with early rolls for later household names of stage and screen, still watchable even though of it's time if your into the genre.....
Starring:-David Niven,Stanley Holloway,James Donald,John Laurie,Leslie Dwyer,Hugh Burden,Jimmy Hanley,William Hartnell, Reginald Tate,Leo Genn,John Ruddock,A. Bromley Davenport,Renée Asherson,Mary Jerrold,Tessie O'Shea,Raymond Lovell, A. E. Matthews,Jack Watling,Peter Ustinov as Rispoli,Lloyd Pearson,Raymond Huntley,Penelope Dudley-Ward,Esma Cannon,Eileen Erskine,Grace Arnold,Trevor Howard,George Merritt and Tracy Reed.
Lt. Jim Perry (David Niven) is assigned to train a seemingly hopeless group of civilian recruits into professional soldiers. They are physically weak and mentally reluctant, and, when Perry proves to be a strict disciplinarian, they become resentful. Perry persists, however, and is eventually able to instill a sense of camaraderie in soldiers like Pvts. Ted Brewer (Stanley Holloway) and Evans Lloyd (James Donald). The true test comes when the regiment is sent to battle the Nazis in North Africa.

Hi All, Das Boot-Directors cut (Va the History channel). This 4Hr monster (Dubbed English)passes quite quickly although it has it's quite moments, but you can definitely get a claustrophobic feel of a submariner if you can get into the film. I will admit the original in German was the first time I watched it and prefer that as with the dubbed English it feels a bit fake as at times the dub doesn't match convincingly but on the whole an excellent film to watch.....
Starring:-Jürgen Prochnow,Herbert Grönemeyer,Klaus Wennemann,Hubertus Bengsch,Martin Semmelrogge,Bernd Tauber, Erwin Leder,Martin May,Heinz Hoenig,Uwe Ochsenknecht,Claude-Oliver Rudolph,Jan Fedder,Ralf Richter,Joachim Bernhard, Oliver Stritzel,Konrad Becker,Lutz Schnell,Martin Hemme,Rita Cadillac,Otto Sander,Phillip Thomsen,Günter Lamprecht, Thomas Boxhammer,Roger Barth,Günther Franke,Christian Bendomir,Norbert Gronwald,Albert Kraml Jean-Claude Hoffmann, Peter Pathenis,Arno Kral,Christian Seipolt,Helmut Neumeier,Ferdinand Schaal,Wilhelm Pietsch,Rolf Weber,Dirk Salomon and Lothar Zajicek. (Also a comic appearance from Jeremy Corbyn..... )
A German submarine patrols the Atlantic Ocean during World War II, manned by a crew that must contend with tense conflicts and long stretches of confined boredom. While war correspondent Werner (Herbert Grönemeyer) observes day-to-day life aboard the U-boat, the grizzled captain (Jürgen Prochnow) struggles to maintain his own motivation as he attempts to keep the ship's morale up in the face of fierce battles, intense storms and dwindling supplies.

Geoff. I watched this with my dad when they played the whole thing on the BBC as episodes.When I pointed out the irony of the air raid ending his only comment was "Fuck 'em".
