I watched it in three parts. Also recommend it. The special effects to de-age and age them is fantastic.

Same here. Took me a while to get into it if I'm honest and while it was good, I wasn't blown away. If anything I think the fact they used De Niro and Pesci/Pacino for parts they were clearly too old for took something away. At some point Scorsese is going to have to find new go to mob guys.

The length of it put me off for a long time as well but it almost feels like a mini-series within a film I think. It goes at a nice pace, for a 3 and half hour film if that makes sense.

It's definitely worth watching if you can find the time.

Finally finished the Irishman last night. Not sure I’ve ever enjoyed a film so much where nothing really happens but in a way I don’t think it needs to. Every main role is played by a legendary actor and they all play them so well. The one thing I love about Stephen Graham is that it doesn’t matter whether he’s in a film with a massive Hollywood budget or a gritty Shane Meadows channel 4 drama, he always plays his character so well.

Started the Lillyhammer series on Netflix today, been on my list for ages. I am a huge fan of the Sopranos so was a bit worried about this.

Much better than I expected it to be, it is a comedy, but holds up well. Will be giving it at least 1 full season.

Ryan

@matt-wood Will add this to the list!

If anyone is a fan of Noomi Rapace (underrated actress imo) I can recommed 'Close' on Netflix as an easygoing watch. Also something a bit more out there from Noomi, 'What Happened to Monday' is really good.

John Folan

Death to 2020 is excellent

Ryan

I watched 'For Life' on sky recently based on a true story, they've added a lot of additional bits to it for TV purposes but it's a solidly good show!

Matt Wood

If anyone likes their boxing I can recommend the documentary on Netflix: 'Katie'. Was really interesting. Also she is a seriously talented boxer!

Obviously watched a few films with the good lady over xmas, some notables:

Krampus (she wanted a xmas horror, not really scary but entertaining)

Educated the mrs by making her watch Falling Down, classic!

Arkansas, really enjoyed this one (netflix) much better than I was expecting.

The Midnight Sky, avoid this one, Clooney was ok in it but the film is a whole lot of nothing.

@keith-anderson But thats where all the best people and parties are at

Akiva Anderson

@Matt-Wood @John-Folan its like an Autism convention in here!

Matt Wood

@ryan-carruthers Yea he is good. Made me laugh so much in that film with Daniel Craig, Logan Lucky I think its called.

Ryan

@matt-wood Yes he's a wicked actor isn't he! Done some good things that I've seen.

Matt Wood

@ryan-carruthers I was so gutted with The Last Jedi when I came out of the cinema that I just never bothered to pay any attention to further films from Disney, Have not seen the Solo film either.

Its a shame as I think Adam Driver was wasted in those films, really like him as an actor, the more I see him in the more im impressed with him.
