Imo a very good movie that focused more on Brian Epstein than the Beatles, although they (the actors) made the movie as well.

It was my era (born in 1947) and the songs in it really did bring back memories although at the time I/we had no idea of Brian Epstein's darker side....a sad ending for a talented and driven man.

Yeah it was excellent.

Coincidentally I watched Backbeat just before that.

Backbeat was about Hamburg before Eppy.

Lots of 720p's around. Frankly I don't see much if any difference between 480p, 720p and 1080p. I generally watch 480p(dvd quality) video. 

 

The big jump in video quality was from CRT to flat screen. Anything since has been of little consequence, IMO.

 

I'll take quality content on CRT or 480p over most of today's junk on the latest hardware. Just because you can see every strand of each actor's nose or pubic hair doesn't improve the enjoyability of what you're watching.

1080 usually carries sub titles and is good for folks that are hearing impaired 🙂

I delete any subtitles embedded/accompanying videos I download. I then get the one I like (no SDH) with a4ksubtitles, addic7ed, or opensubtitles addons in kodi. But then, I'm not hearing impaired (yet) and only need the subtitles for words I miss or accents that are unfamiliar to me.

I often open the downloads using VLC and that way I can add/delete sub-titles etc (usually!).

FWIW, I thought this was slow, boring and the actors wooden. YMMV.

How can it have reviews if it's not out yet? From the trailer?

 

That said, I saw the trailer a while back and added it on my download list.

 

The movie it's based on with the same name is also good if you haven't seen it.

I haven't watched --& probably wont, I was criticized on here a while back when I said that I think the  Kiwi's IMO produce very little quality TV programs--while similar (population) countries like Ireland--Norway etc turn out really good stuff  .

You obviously don't realise that TV and movie critics get sent episodes before their release date.

As I said, based on a movie:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069947/

As part of the continuing series of old ladies doing action movies, we now have Kate Beckinsale, 52, playing a covert CIA agent in Canary Black.  Beckinsale starred in the Underground series of movies a couple of decades ago, where she played a vampire hunter. Decked on in spandex, she was a feast for the eyes at that time.

 

She still looks good and I have to commend her plastic surgeon but the movie is ridiculous. She goes around wearing platform shoes with 5 inch heels, which doesn't impede her at all (or her stunt double anyway) from engaging in martial arts mayhem, including defeating trained agents twice her size and somehow striking them with a closed fist in the face without breaking her hand.

 

The plot, such as it is, sees her husband kidnapped so she can blackmailed to turn over a file that contains blackmail material on all the agents in the CIA.

 

Ladies, please, it's time to put these movies to rest.
