http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...L._SL1500_.jpg
Taken from Amazon.co.uk:
The complicated life of J. Edgar Hoover is thoughtfully and quietly distilled into a feature film by director Clint Eastwood. J. Edgar is a movie, therefore, that’s free of fuss. Told mainly through an older Hoover reciting back his life story, it’s a conventional structure that allows Eastwood to cherry-pick some of the most interesting moments from the controversial life of the man who was the first director of the modern day FBI.
J. Edgar, as a movie, is sometimes a little too cautious for its own good, sidestepping one or two areas of its subject’s life. But in the title role, Leonardo DiCaprio is in excellent form. Sometimes weighed down by ageing make-up, but always able to hold the screen, it’s his central performance that’s the compelling reason to watch the movie. Judi Dench has less to work with as his mother, although Armie Hammer fares better as Clyde Tolson, the man who may or may not have been Hoover’s lover.
The disc release does dig into Hoover a little bit more, with a feature exploring the complexity of the man. At the very least, it serves as a starting point to find out more about one of the most fascinating people in modern American history. The film and disc certainly scratch the surface on him, and there’s plenty here to like and admire. They do leave you with a lot more to discover, though… --Jon Foster
Need to watch this again, but on first viewing 7/10.
I watched that as well Barry. Was not overly impressed tbh. Di caprio was more like himself than Hoover and the story missed most of his character for me. Much preferred him in the likes of gangs of new york and even titanic.
I am still watching Black Sails....its pretty decent if you get the chance to watch.
Bosch season 1 on Amazon Prime.
Grant why do you watch so much of the box? chuff that, music 24/7 man
:eyebrows:
I don't like annoying neighbours with loud music at night. I don't enjoy theirs so sure they don't mine mate. so tv at nightQuote:

One of the reasons I got the capella, but phones affect my hearing thus its for sale after just a few hrs use. sounds good though.doing away with system 2 altogether i think.
Watched 5 episodes of Bosch so far and can definitely recommend it. fairly compulsive viewing.
September Dawn (2007) starring Jon Voight, Terrence Stamp and Trent Ford.
.... A story set against the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the film is based upon the tragedy which occurred in Utah in 1857. A group of settlers, traveling on wagons, was murdered by the native Mormons. All together, about 140 souls of men, women and children, were taken. Amidst this, two young lovers-to-be, one a Mormon and the other one of the doomed settlers from Arkansas, develop a relationship in an atmosphere of suspicion and rancor.
Amazon Prime...........
Never heard of that one Grant. Sounds intriguing.
I remember reading about the murders, and it was also in one of Ken Burns documentaries... (America I think) . A shocking affair that the Mormans like to play down for obvious reasons. Not seen this film though but its started promisingly.Quote:

Porridge the movie. Harry Neilson s without you and hit me with your rhythm stick by ...I've er forgot doh. 2 great tracks and super acting from Ronnie Barker and Co.
Winchester 73 from 1950. the film that saved Jimmy Stewarts career this and an excellent one too with Dan Duryea and Shelley Winters. also appearing in small roles that I never noticed before is Tony Curtis as a cavalryman and Rock Hudson as an Indian war chief.
The man in the high castle ep1.... interesting adaptation of the novel by Philip K. Dick.
That was a decent start. dont know when ep 2 is available....now watching Heaven Knows Mr Allison... Deborah Kerr and Bob Mitcham star in this 1957 war film set on a Pacific Island.
Where was that on ?Quote:

War and remembrance disc 1..........then an epp of the Simpsons(Homer becomes a bounty hunter)......now Bosch episodes 6 and 7. It is a great series.....and just started a Time team.This box has allowed me a more varied diet of shows that are a worth the watching and at no cost to me................its a win win situation
House of cards Season 3. Dark and brilliant.
Kevin Spacey is fantastic in this.
Fury
Harrowing, sickening, thrilling, amazing, sad, wanting to scream at soldiers to behave like humans not animals. One of the best war film in ages and next to White Tiger one of the best tank warfare films.
8 out of 10
not seen that yet although did read a long article on its making. its on my listQuote:

I think the hardest one i saw was Come and See. a 1985 film by Elem Klimov. I had to take a break half way through.
Bosch series 1 epp 10 final one I think. quite a long series this but very good.
Not looked at those, but the Michael Connolly books are excellent.Quote:
