Never heard of this one TF.Just noticed Out Of Season is showing on 9GEM next Monday......geez...teenage memories....late at night...VCRs....
Ever heard of Susan George?Never heard of this one TF.
Certainly have but just not this film.
Arrived home late from a party one night 30+ years ago, switched on TV to wind down before heading to sleep and noticed this film at ~ 1:00am (I think on Channel 9).....it looked boring and talkative with Cliff Robertson travelling to the UK to find a lady he once flirted with (Vanessa Redgrave) who lives with her young daughter Susan George. As soon Susan George got involved, it was worth staying up to watch some of her.... saucy scenes. One scene reminded me of the 1982 GF.....Certainly have but just not this film.

Seems pretty solid on the review website too.Saw Wonka tonight.
Thought it was a pretty decent effort TBH & a nice nod to the original & best.
Eons better than the Depp debacle.
Enjoyed it.
Except for Tar.IMDB 7.3 (anything over 7 here usually pretty good).Wonka | Rotten Tomatoes
Based on the extraordinary character at the center of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl’s most iconic children's book and one of the best-selling children's books of all time, "Wonka" tells the wondrous story of how the world's greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became...www.rottentomatoes.com

By far the dumbest movie I've seen all year.Leave the World Behind, on Netflix. Stars Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke and Mahershela Ali, with a Kevin Bacon cameo. Pretty good (apart from the deer).
By far the dumbest movie I've seen all year.
Director thought they could create tone by just spinning half the shots sideways and randomly doing slow zoom ins.
The score just screeches with violins constantly, specifically telling the audience that it's supposed to be tense, which manages to both lose and tension and irritate. The cinematography and score together felt somewhere between an homage and a parody of Hitchcockian thrillers, though failed at both.
The writers couldn't decide on a villain, so handwaved that it was probably all of the America hating countries, or just none of them with the barely concealed subtext that technology is the real baddy. They were literally attacked by semi sentient Tesla's.
The pacing was all over the shop. You could cut it 45 minutes and not lose any plot or character development.
The characters were barely human. Teenage girl is sad cause no one listens to her. Dad is dopey to the point of brain dead. Mum seems to be in a committed relationship, comes out hard racist then suddenly decides she wants to sleep with the dude she thought was lying to her so he could touch up her daughter. That dude seems to barely care that his wife has died and seems weirdly intent on helping a family who rented his airbnb for no reason. Teenage boy is teenager. Pervs on teenage girl (rear window vibes). Gets high dose radiation poisoning and only concern is failing to masturbate.
'Masturbatory failure' is a pretty good description of the whole film actually.
And yeah. The Russians/Koreans hacked the deer to make them

And yeah. The Russians/Koreans hacked the deer to make them converge menacingly on this one particular family. Though this was their 'the birds' moment so I suppose necessary.
