The Post - after half an hour I realised this was nothing to do with near misses in soccer matches.

"Kingsmen II - The Golden Circle". Good escapist pish. with a millwall supporting hero..what's not to like? A film with the same title "The Golden Circle" directed by Woody Allen would be a turgid drama about a neurotic middle aged bed wetter at odds with relationships with his family...would win the Palme De Shite by a mile.

Hi All, xXx The Return Of Zander Cage 2017 (Via Sky Cinema) Somewhat disappointing return of the original xXx IMPO, not a patch on the first film in the franchise and only slightly better than the second that featured Ice Cube (Who also appears near the end). Some good action sequences and stunts but just catering to the millennial audience but hey! you either like or not like simple!......
Starring:-Vin Diesel,Donnie Yen,Deepika Padukone,Kris Wu,Ruby Rose,Tony Jaa,Nina Dobrev,Samuel L. Jackson,Toni Collette, Nicky Jam,Rory McCann,Al Sapienza,Michael Bisping,Ariadna Gutiérrez,Hermione Corfield,Tony Gonzalez,Ice Cube,Shawn Roberts, Daniel Kash,Neymar Jr. and Andrey Ivenchko.
After coming out of self-imposed exile, daredevil operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) must race against time to recover a sinister weapon known as Pandora's Box, a device that controls every military satellite in the world. Recruiting a new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself entangled in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of government.

Hi All, They Who Dare 1954 (Via Taking Pictures Channel on SKY) Still like watching this film good old fashioned flag waving WWII drama.
Starring:-Dirk Bogarde,Denholm Elliott,Akim Tamiroff,Harold Siddons,Eric Pohlmann,William Russell,Gérard Oury,Sam Kydd, Peter Burton,David Peel,Michael Mellinger,Alec Mango,Anthea Leigh,Eileen Way,Lisa Gastoni,Kay Callard and George Sandford.
This World War II men-on-a-mission film follows a British commando unit, led by Lt. Graham (Dirk Bogarde), ordered to sneak onto a Greek island and take out two German airbases. Once they're on the island, though, the plan doesn't go well. The place is crawling with Nazis, and Graham tries desperately to keep his men from losing hope. But after the commandos split into two groups, the mission turns suicidal when many of the men are captured by Germans. Still, Graham must see it through.

Hi All, Annon 2018 (Via Sky Cinema) The film starts off really well then flat lines a bit, then picks back up again. So on the whole if you like Sci-Fi you'll should enjoy this film, the only Distraction /Irritation IMPO is the info on the screen that the films population have to live with, but again that aside I enjoyed the film....
Starring:-Clive Owen,Amanda Seyfried,Colm Feore,Sonya Walger,Mark O'Brien,Joe Pingue,Iddo Goldberg,Sebastian Pigott, Rachel Roberts and Toyin Ishola.
In the near future, private memories are recorded and crime has almost ceased to exist. But in trying to solve a series of murders, troubled detective Sal Frieland stumbles upon a young woman known only as "The Girl." She has no identity, no history and is invisible to the cops. Sal realizes this may not be the end of crime, and it could be the beginning of it.

I watched this film today. Loved it. And some amazing landscapes to look at too. Steve Buscemi is great as the miserable racing horse owner on his uppers. And young Charlie Plummer is wonderful as the lead teenage boy.
