the unit pulls together into a gung-ho fighting crew.
Hi All, Jungle Book 2016 (Via Sky Cinema) Finally got around to watching this much lauded remake and was pleasantly surprised. If I never knew
that the child actor was acting against a green screen for the majority of the film you would swear it was real although there were a couple of times
you could tell it was mostly CGI.
On the whole a thoroughly enjoyable experience along with some truly excellent voice casting from many famous actors, the stand outs to me were
Idris Elba (Shere khan) especially Christopher walken (Louie)when introducing his character they take a scene directly from Apocalypse now and the
Marlon Brando character when Martin Sheen meets him for the first time…..:cool:

Hi All, TonyT I know how you feel matey my bugbear are the car restoration,custom series always showing glimpses of the finished article in the
titles before they have even bought the car or started the programme waste of time IMHO the producers need to be fired.
People watch these type of programmes to view the find restoration/custom then admire the work that has gone into the finished article….:confused:

Hi All, TwinOtter23 – Thanks matey still you have to wonder why they charge the normal rate when those organisations such as VTTS operate on ltd
budgets and are not a business where any profit is ploughed back into the restoration and maintenance of whatever they are custodians.
I really think that all projects like them should get maximum tax relief have fees like planning App’s waved or a meagre fee charged…:stupid:
