Hi All,
John Wick 2 (Via Sky Cinema) I enjoyed the film but did not think it was as good as the first, having said that it is still good viewing none the less
being full of fast action throughout the film. ( One funny moment was when Wick and his targets bodyguard are firing at each other while walking in the train station 😀 ) Must sat though I am still not a fan of CGI and blood would like to see makers go back to practical effects as it’s more realistic IMPO..:cool:
Starring:-Keanu Reeves,Riccardo Scamarcio,Common as Cassion,Laurence Fishburne,Ruby Rose,John Leguizamo,Ian McShane,Bridget Moynahan,Lance Reddick, Thomas Sadoski,David Patrick Kelly,Peter Stormare,Franco Nero,Peter Serafinowicz,Claudia Gerini andTobias Segal.

Hi All,
scotavia – Why not e-mail Mark ? I am sure you’ll get an honest and more in depth answer than anybody on the forum would answer matey….:eagerness:
~Alan~ – Having a gift like painting is just amazing but at the end of the day like you said he does it for ” his own pleasure “. He also does
not have the added pressure of producing a piece to a deadline or will have to face any dissatisfaction if the piece is not what the commissioner had in
mind. Another thing to consider if he took the decision to paint commercially would it then take the enjoyment he gets because of that added pressure ?
Back on track so to speak having a mooch as you do I came across John.D.Shaws latest masterpiece (Prey For Mercy-Bottom Image) This is the final creation in the triptych story of (December 1943, when Luftwaffe ace Franz Stigler encountered the mortally-wounded B-17 Ye Olde Pub). You can read the back story this and the other two creations beneath each image, interesting facts behind the creation of PFM here:-https://www.facebook.com/johnshawaviationart/

Hi All,
Millenium 1989 (Via Talking Pictures channel on Sky) This Sci-Fi film admittedly rather dated now but at the I first watched I thought it was a decent
film,today it seems to be just a run of the mill B-Movie but enjoyable just the same just at the start of the CGI revolution that followed on from Star Wars…;)

taken the ill-fated passengers to repopulate the future. To ensure their mission’s success, they send a gorgeous operative, Louise (Cheryl Ladd), to the
past to hamper Smith’s work.

Hi All,
This Is Spinal Tap via (Sky Cinema -Returning Favourite) Just an enjoyable mocumentary romp through the lives of a fictional bands life on the road
during their return tour that definitely has funny moments i.e.The Smalls airport metal detector scene,Jeanine David’s girlfriend dubly(Dolby) and
trying to influence a new look for the band with costumes and face paint scenes,Not finding the stage,The 18″ Stonehenge model stage prop lowering,
The empty album signing promotion and the D’minor trilogy-Lick My Love Pump…..:highly_amused:

“This Is Spinal Tap” shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its
complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters,
hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.
