Starring Melissa McCarthy, Chris O’Dowd and Kevin Kline
A woman coming to terms with the loss of a child contends with a threatening bird in her garden. Whilst her husband struggles with his mental health.
Doesn’t sound much fun - some reviews say it’s awful
But we liked it
More drama than comedy
We found it intriguing 🤨 with some unexpected outcomes . Yes it was far fetched , a bit off the wall, classic McCarthy , but touchingly different, well acted and the ‘bird’ doesn’t become a best friend like in a Disney movie. Poignant
Has anyone else seen it?

Do we all know the number to call if you see trouble on a train https://www.btp.police.uk/police-forces/british-transport-police/areas/campaigns/How-to-use-our-text-number/ A friend of mine reported a man threatening people on a train. A text using the 61016 number meant that police boarded at the next stop and arrested the perpetrator.

After seeing other versions but now not remembering much about them I had been putting this off, even through all the hype at the time of its release. The plot involves a famous country singer, played by Bradley Cooper, with a alcohol problem, meeting and falling for a younger less successful female singer , played by Lady Gaga. It follows their love story, her rise to fame , and his fall from grace. As beautiful and touching as promised, Lady Gaga’s acting is amazing and the chemistry between her and Bradley Cooper is absolutely sensational. If you haven’t seen it , it’s on Netflix now. Well worth investing the time on 😁

See 3 comments...On BBC Iplayer A tough Italian American bouncer is hired by Dr Don Shirley, a world class classical pianist, to be his chauffeur and protector, on a concert tour of the Deep South in the early Sixties . Dr Shirley is an African American. The film is based on a true story and confronts racism and segregation of the era. It also shows the growing relationship between two very different people. A superb film, the banter and the chemistry between the actors is as touching as the story itself . Poignant, striking, informative, a must watch. A Gold Star ⭐️ from me

See 1 comment...From Eilish A young couple moved into a new house. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour hanging the washing outside. "That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better soap powder. Her husband looked on, remaining silent. Every time her neighbour hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments. A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?" The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows." And so it is with life… What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look. So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires. "Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are."

See 2 comments...Netflix - mainly in Hindi with subtitles Easy to watch - incredibly touching at times. A beautiful, heartwarming film about a young girl learning to skateboard in a small village in India. It challenges old fashioned values. Portrays cultures and possibilities. Shows the pressures a poor teenage girl is under from her strict father and the caste system. An English woman visits the village and brings ideas that are not wanted by the older generation. A lovely family film and at the end it shows the ‘real’ change it made.

See 1 comment...Seen on Netflix, this 2019 film is about Katherine a late night chat show host who has got complacent about her role. She does not know the names of the writers for her show and has become quite arrogant, until she finds out that her job may be on the line. She is accused of being a woman who hates other women so decides to take on a female writer called Molly (Mindy Kaling) who is determined to help her turn the show around. A Comedy drama with some lovely characters, its worth a watch. We enjoyed it. Also stars John Lithgow as Katherine's husband.

At 2 hrs 17 mins I was expecting this Russian drama to be somewhat tedious, based on a book and set on the frozen rivers and canals of St Petersburg. I was pleasantly surprised at its gradual build up into a romantic fantasy adventure . A young petty thief wins the heart of an aristocrats daughter but they are kept apart. The first part may seem slow but the tension builds and the second half is full of surprises. And most of this is on skates
