...I’m so very sorry, Bollo......wow, 101yrs old, that’s some incredible lady you had for a Nana.....she’s a lady who is going be felt through your entire life, I feel...she has many more years to travel in your heart......

...and welcome back, always lovely to see you..... we’re having a Psycho weekend with the original Psycho...which is apparently on Amazon Prime but you can step right back with any of the previous watches that you’ve missed, your call really...

[Ammi]

...so, I was watching Graham Norton last night and Tahar Rahim was a guest...(...he’s the guy from The Serpent who played the awful serial killer...)...he has a new movie coming out and it looks excellent and the cast is superb...apparently it’s airing this Thursday on Amazon Prime...(...I’m not sure if it’ll be a free one though...)...but I hope it will be and we’ll pencil that in for Thursday...?..oh, it’s a true story btw, always a great added bonus...

Youtube video

[Ammi]

...oh a by the by... that’s the first interview I’ve seen with Tahar Rahim and what a gorgeous guy......he isn’t at all like the serial killer type we thought...

...I’m going to watch Greta this evening...I’ll hold hold off with a review for that as well in case others are watching it soon...I think it’ll be Monday for Psycho with me as well, I just have to remember to give Daniel a nudge to let him know so that he can join with that also...

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that Bollo, what a great age though it's great to have you back

[Nicky91]

one for the movie club maybe

Rams (2020)

Youtube video

with Sam Neill, Michael Caton, Miranda Richardson

[Ammi]

...oh, I do want to watch that movie, Nicky...

[Niamh.]

I'm going to watch that too Ammi, maybe tomorrow

[Ammi]

...I’ll spoiler some thoughts, then...and we can have it as a watch choice here if anyone else would like to watch...I would recommend, for sure...


...Greta...

Spoiler:

....although I would recommend Greta, it does follow a ‘formula’...I mean, there’s nothing different about it as such ...it’s quite predictable...but it still keeps that suspense going and Greta is very sinister...it was obvious that Greta leaving the bag wasn’t an accidental/absent minded thing and it was designed to draw a ‘victim’ in...but it was still a wow moment when Frances opened the cupboard and saw the row of same bags...I wonder why the bags weren’t all different, why they had to be the exact same ones...I mean, if they were different then it wouldn’t have looked suspicious at all and Frances wouldn’t have thought anything of it...and Greta seemed so ‘thorough’ and meticulous in thought and planning so that didn’t make sense...for me, there were lots of screaming at the TV moments...the fact that Frances, a young vulnerable girl...wasn’t protected by the police (again, we hear that in real life so it’s infuriating...)...but the different take is that it was another female that she needed protecting from ...which gave a slightly different slant...the stupidity of the private detective going into her house alone and then the stupidity of her friend going in there alone and then revealing who she was...and then that Greta became superwoman and was able to still be such a threat when she’d been drugged in her coffee...some of it was just dumb and annoying but it was very much edge of the seat stuff as well...so a good watch overall...

Sorry I've been slacking, still haven't watched Psycho but here 2 :

The Miseducation of Cameron Post -

Spoiler:

I suppose it was interesting because I hadn't seen a lot of conversion therapy films and I like Chloe Grace Moretz. I did think there was a lot of unnecessary sex scenes and I kind of felt they were put in there for kind of gratuitous reasons (or maybe I'm just turning into a prude?) Anyway it didn't feel properly tied up for me. The 3 of them ran off to Canada but how were they going to get in without passports etc or get work with no IDs or visas at 16 years old? It was alright

Greta -

Spoiler:

This one was really creepy. The last few scenes were really tense and I was shouting at the TV for Frances to kick the **** out of her, she's an old lady fgs!! Also when she did eventually fight back, why the **** did she run into the basement of all places?? Why didn't she break a window and run??

[Ammi]

...I just realised that I hadn’t actually said my spoiler thoughts were for Greta ......so I’ve just amended that post but basically...very similar to you, Niamh...

Spoiler:

...it felt as though there wasn’t anything new as such in that it felt pretty predictable but I really liked it anyway and found myself screaming at the TV like a looney...especially the bit when Frances escaped and she was just running around the house and ughhhhh, for goodness sakes GET OUT and my OH was saying, but she can’t get out, she can’t find a key 🔑...also how was she still attacking at the end when she’d been drugged...had she used an anti thing and we didn’t see that...she was the looniest of loonies anyway and it was a very tense film....

[Ammi]

...I watched Psycho last night and...

Spoiler:

...I did really enjoy it but because I watched quite late and because (for me, I’d had a busy day of less restrictions etc and socialising and also because I wake up early etc....)...I fell asleep for the shower part...which is obviously the most iconic bit of the whole movie...it is a scene though that I find quite unnerving so maybe it was a subconscious thing as well...it’s not that it’s really gory as such, it’s more the complete vulnerability...that added thing of being naked and in the shower, her absolute and total exposure and vulnerability...

...anyways, I have seen that bit before so I can fill in that blank and I did enjoy the whole film and ‘for its time as well’, it’s an incredibly creepy movie and Norman Bates is an incredibly creepy and disturbed guy...a good recommendation, Daniel...a very good watch...

[Ammi]

...any more thoughts for the next one...?..

[Ammi]

...there’s a movie on Netflix called Eighth Grade which looks okay...

Youtube video

[Niamh.]

I've seen that one already Ammi, it's OK ^ I'll take a look at the trailer for the Eighth grade one

[Ammi]

...I don’t know if you’ve seen this, it might be a bit upsetting../...it’s a true story...

[Niamh.]

[Ammi]

...yeah that’s cool, you can’t force that sort of thing when you don’t feel the vibe because then you can just wander off in your thoughts and not give it the attention anyway...although they’re not ‘classic’ as such, I’ve really enjoyed searching out newer movies that I haven’t seen before because I’ve realised how many good ones that I’ve overlooked...
