Saw Ford V Ferrari yesterday. I really enjoyed the film, the best movie I have seen the last six months, but I do like cars and racing also.
When it comes to watches, Matt Demon was wearing a white chronograph with 2 black subdials, probably this one: https://www.google.com/search?q=hami...QDHd1DNNwYQvM:
It could also be a B premier, but this is more likely to be the one, due to the American origins of the character.
Miles was wearing a black chrono with 3 with subdials, in 3, 6, 9, if I'm not mistaken. This Hamilton also fits the decription: https://www.google.com/search?q=hami...XC_NrTM:&vet=1
But if I'm not mistaken, it also had a black bezel, so probably this is not the one Miles was wearing.
Both watches are shown quite well many times in the movie
Saw Le Mans 66 on Saturday. Very enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously.

Watched “I am Mother” and “Eli “ on Netflix at the weekend as a family (15 years old upto a 70 years) and all enjoyed.
Also watched The King. The women liked it but I though it was a bit weak.

Saw Clint eastwoods “the mule”. I’m in awe of the man. 90 years old and still a fantastic actor and director .
Went to see Irishman last night. Loved Goodfellas and Casino but this was disappointing. Far far far too long at 3.5 hours. Scorsese indulgence ..... don’t believe the hype

Green Book (fantastic)

Saw Stephen King's Doctor Sleep yesterday. Maybe I'm just a bit jaded after watching a few hundred scary movies over my seventy plus years, but I was not impressed. I had no problem carving out a few minutes in the middle to excuse myself for a much-needed bathroom break during the 2:32 screening time. The film wasn't terrible, it just wasn't close to my standards for Stephen King.
I've not seen it and it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's on my 'to see' list:
Here is a link to the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL4McUzXfFI

'Le mans 66' was rather enjoyable. Kept my attention throughout. 6.5/10.

My favorites, including made for TV moves, include:
- The Langoliers
- The Stand
- The Shining
- The Dead Zone
- Christine
- Stand By Me
- The Running Man
- Misery
King is an incredibly talented writer, but tends to meander off into the ozone layer of unbelievability too often. I can't think of any fiction writer who has been as consistently prolific as Stephen King, including James Patterson, whose output has been 'juiced' for years by employing co-authors.
The green mile and shawshank I’d add to that list!

I watched Le Mans 66 earlier today......I really enjoyed it. No doubt the racing purists will go on about this that and the other not being right but from my point of view it was very watchable and the time flew by.
Watched Parasite (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) last night. Absolutely fantastic, easily my movie of the year so far.
Frozen 2.
Absolute emotional rollercoaster.
Brilliant.
Not really into the superhero films but I fond Captain Marvel very watchable.
Just watched "the departed" again, forgot what a good movie this was.
Don't know if this has been discussed before, I saw a nice movie from 2009 yesterday with Hilary Swank and Richard Gere called Amelia, related to the life of Amelia Earhart. It has nice shots with the planes etc. Regarding watches, it is clearly shown in one shot that Amelia is wearing a Hamilton field, probably 38mm, with white dial. I'm quite certain that it was quartz (the movement of the seconds hand is shown), something not possible for the time the film reffers to.
Only just watched bohemian rhapsody and I thought it was brilliant.
Arctic starring Mads Mikkelsen whose performance was exceptional in my mind. Emotional, moral, physical, primal and attacks all your senses - amazing!
I agree, was a very gritty film, almost no dialogue throughout.
I’m half way through ‘Destroyer’ on Netflix, Nicole Kidman plays a burnt out cop looking for revenge on a gangster from a event 16 years earlier when she was undercover, I literally did not recognise her in the first few minutes of the film, it was only the flashback scenes I figured it was her, the make up and ageing applied were astonishing. Her performance in it is unlike anything she’s done before, please give it a watch.
Cheers..

My wife, our youngest son, and I watched The Irishman on NetFlix last night. Although we enjoyed it, it didn't bowl us over like we expected. It was too long, too short on action, and the main characters are all too old (all well over 75!). Had Scorcese made this 15 years ago, in a tighter, tougher manner, it would have succeeded much better. I asked my 23 year-old son if he had ever seen Goodfellas, and he responded that it was ten times better than The Irishman! I agreed.
I watched The Irishman last night too - completely agree with your summary.
Film is far, far, too long. Indulgently so. Why do so many films these days have such excessive run times!?
On the plus side, the action is done well (when it appears), the story is relatively engaging (it needs to be over 3 and a half hours!), and Pesci is really great in this. Probably worth a watch if you love Scorsese.
The 'de-ageing' is terrible and acted as a huge distraction from me - the film would have been significantly improved by simply casting different actors to play the different ages of each character.

Watches Knives Out last night. Very enjoyable film

7/10 for knives out. Very enjoyable whodunnit with a strong and varied cast.

Joker and Le Mans (Ford vs Ferrari) were 2 of the movies I’ve enjoyed recently. Think the lead actor(s) really played their roles well and both these movies felt short.
The Irishman. Great cast, great film.

The Old Man and The Gun with Robert Redford was very enjoyable as well as the previously mentioned The Mule with Clint Eastwood both great actors.
