    The Good Lie, a film about Sudanese refugees moving to America, is well worth a watch if only to make you count your blessings you were born in Ireland!!

    Just watched I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore. Very enjoyable film, doesn't drag at all for a first work (by Macon Blair, the star of Blue Ruin).

    Sadece Sen - Turkish movie added last week.
    An ex-boxer falls in love with a blind woman and starts to build a new life, but his violent past returns to endanger them both.

    Mightn't be everyone cup of tea but I enjoyed it.

    Watched Andy Whitfield , Spartucus actor documentary, very sad. He had so much to live for and had a great career ahead of him. It's horrible when you see really evil nasty individuals live to a very old age and someone like Andy then dying so young.

    I was watching Spartacus at the time of his battles and his death came as a real shock.

    Everything up until his death seemed to be positive. Thought and hoped he was going to beat cancer. Very sad.

    I think it's worth sticking with. It gets really interesting by the end of the season and season 2 is very good as well.

    Watched Young Offenders and really enjoyed it. Two 15 year olds from Cork, Conor and his bike thief best friend Jock, travel to the coast to try and get their hands on one of the bales of cocaine that have started to wash up on shore after the infamous drugs bust off the Cork coastline in 2007. Great turn from the two young leads with a fantastic supporting cast.

    Felt the same way.

    I have stuck with it though and with two Eps left feel it has improved.

    I really enjoyed it and Season 2 is better. The time travel causality is actually some of the best I've seen on screen. In Season 2 in particular it's very satisfying how all the plot threads get tied up - you've a definite feeling they have a plan (a proper plan, and not a Cylon "plan").

    Cylon plan was a little simpler.

    Its obviously got nothing on BSG.

    Finally got around to watching The Final Girls

    Max's mother was an actress in the 80's, her most famous film being a teen slasher film called Camp Bloodbath. Three years after her death Max and her friends find themselves transported into the film. Stick with me now....

    Really entertaining take on the classic slasher/horror pics of the 80's and 90's. It's quite tongue in cheek but is more of an homage to these films than a spoof. There's also a nice little mother/daughter story in the middle of it and some awesome shots, the whole slo-mo sequence in particular made me go "ooooooooooh". I'm not that into horror films but I think if you are there's probably a lot of little nods to other films in here that you'd get. With next to no horror/slasher knowledge I still found it very enjoyable with some genuine laughs and clever use of the idea of being inside a film.

    Oddly enough this was the first movie in a while that made me tear up.

    Saddest striptease to Bette Davis Eyes I've ever seen.

    Apparently the guy who wrote it came up with the idea originally following the death of his own father who played a priest in The Exorcist.

    Housebound is back on Netflix and definitely worth checking out.

    It's a dark comedy from New Zealand so those of you wanting to find something along the lines of Hunt For The Wilderpeople and What We Do In The Shadows, this comes close...

    Speaking of Wilderpeople, I watched it tonight and I was kind of disappointed with it. All the rave reviews it's gotten I was expecting something more. It felt overly long and to be honest I'd rank it behind Boy and What We Do In The Shadows when it comes to Taika Waititi's films.

    Thought it was not overrated myself actually.

    Housebound is great fun. Sort of comedy horror bordering on spoofing the horror genre. In a nutshell a teenage girl is under house arrest and she starts to hear and experience some weird stuff in her house.

    Two I enjoyed

    Look who's back - a comedy about Hitler!!

    And

    Young offenders - Irish film about two teens setting off to find a bag of cocaine from the massive cocaine find in west cork. Hilarious.

    Look in the categories. The content changes a lot, sometimes shrinking considerably, so Netflix doesn't like to draw too much attention to what's on there. It recommends what it thinks you will be interested in based on your viewing history.
