Ocean's Eight (2018)
Don't listen to the haters
Fun, funny and entertaining. Great cast. Good story. Well worthwhile.
Sandra bullock is terrific. Anne Hathaway is wonderful. Cate Blanchett is marvellous. Rihanna holds her own against a highly experienced cast.
I enjoyed it and hope there's a good sequel.
Birth of the Beatles (1979)
Good reproduction of the times
This is a rather overlooked film, though one with many good points. It goes through the now familiar story of the development of the Beatles, ending (I think) with the tragic death of Stu Sutcliffe. Unlike the later Backbeat, which, though a good film, was flawed by its 'arthouse' approach, Birth of the Beatles tells the story fairly straightly. I'd imagine that casual fans would be more interested in this then die hard fans. But check it out anyway - the performances (particularly that of John Lennon) are very good.
