Watching "Now you see me" (Sorry david, I've worked hard this week :P :wink: )

Damn brilliant movie
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I was watching an older movie yesterday called "A simple plan" and it suddenly struck me whatever happened to Bridget Fonda.

She was pretty big in the 90's, in a number of popular movies and I must say she had a genuine sex appeal without being the standard Hollywood starlet.

Turns out she did something pretty rare for an actor and retired back in 2002, got married to a man 11 years her senior, a movie music composer (who looks suspiciously Elton John gay to me), popped out a son and hasn't acted in anything since.

She was in The Newsroom series, was very good in it too. (2012-2014)

I really liked La La Land. Surprising as musicals aren't usually my thing and I don't usually go for big Hollywood blockbusters either. But it's a really creative and enjoyable film.

Also saw a wonderfully cynical French comedy from the '70s called The Castaways of Turtle Island in which a travel agency comes up with the idea of taking ten people (led by a David Brent style tour guide and including a wannabe scuba diver, a hippie couple and a supermodel who signed up for the wrong trip by mistake) and stranding them on a desert island without food or possessions, Survivor style.

I believe you're thinking of Jane Fonda her aunt.

I have no listing for Bridget beyond 2002.

Anonymous are leaking a few.

Watched Patriots Day last night with Marky Mark. Not bad, I found it more a TV movie than a cinema one. Arrival tonight ;)

Yep, I was. Must've just seen Fonda & took it from there. You're right, my mistake :oops: (Aunty Jane was awesome in The Newsroom anyway :wink:)

Finally got around to watching - Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
If you like Harry Potter you will like. Enjoyed it and JK Rowling has a great imagination. 8 out of 10.
