The Colour of Money.

1986, starring Paul Newman and a very young Tom cruise, belated sequel to The Hustler.

Took mum to the bottom pub for dinner last night, last night in Toc. Nice feed then home, fkn nothing on FTA TV, grabbed a DVD I thought mum would like, score.

Actually really good film. Might have to upset mum and take the lid off the pool table now I'm home. :lol:

The Glass Onion on Neflix.

That’s 2 hours I won’t get back. Minus 1 star. Terrible.

After watching a fantastic series on SBS on demand called Manayek (a brilliant Israeli Police internal affairs series) I wanted something lighter.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
Stars Nicholas Cage (playing himself) and Pedro Pascal

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_un ... ive_talent

Really enjoyed it, good performances from both leads and lots of fun.

Watched Knives Out-Glass Onion last night.

We liked it but thought it was not as good as the first.

Mrs WPT and I went to the Nova in Carrrlton and saw “She Said”

Wow. Very good fillum. Nice to be in a cinema again. What All the Presidents men is to Watergate then She Said is to Harvey Weinstein. Very good indeed.

Yeah, Nah.

Trailer looks good, well produced, but not something I'd watch for entertainment which is what i watch movies for.

Good for you going back to a Cinema, If I never end up in one again, I won't care a jot.
