Just watched Uncut Gems on Netflix with Adam Sandler whom I never really liked. But I have to say that he is really good in this. Great film about a gambler who is quite the looser!

I watched it last week, I thought Sandler acted very well, he portrayed a throughly despicable self centred unsympathetic character with absolutely no redeeming features. Although I watch it through, I nearly turned it of several times as the Sandler character was so unlikeable, I wasn?t sure I wanted to know or really cared what happened to him.

He definitely was unlikeable but I believe that was the point of the whole film. Watching him mess everything up and getting pulled into that downward spiral of his own making. And there wasn't a single likeable character in the film. I like films about such characters.

I've just abandoned Once Upon a Time in Hollywood..... What a load of shite!
I've loved every single one of QT's films but surely he was high or taking the piss when this was made. Feck all has happened after 90 minutes.
My wife and my 20yo both said the same about it. All 3 of us feel let down

You turned it off just before it gets interesting...

I have enjoyed watching both Parasite and The Lighthouse at the cinema recently.

Parasite was pretty good

It's called character development!

I've heard it wasn't great from quite a few people at work. Only best thing is the last few minutes

What character development or do you mean his dog? That was my biggest issue with the film other than Bradd Pitts part and the Manson girl there was no character or humanity to them. Dicaprio?s role just confused me as how he played it in a way that was so unidentifiable with anyone I?ve ever met.

But I try not to think about that film as it left me proper pissed off with how disappointed I was with it. It certainly had an emotional impact but I don?t think anger and frustration was what they were after!

Another one for the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is shite camp"......watched it Friday night, what a waste of time. No story, pointless

No idea. It's what people say in these circumstances.

So I am thick with cold and struggling to sleep. I watched ?The Programme? about Lance Armstrong. Definitely worth a watch .... the guy playing LA really captures the arrogance, and relentless drive of the man. Don?t get me wrong I loathe cheating, but his ability to push himself to do the things he did is unearthly
