I watched Bikram: Yogi,Guru,Predator
I had seen jokes made about him and knew he was a bit of a creep but not the full exent. Not the best documentary I'd seen about a predatory man but I found it really interesting.

I will admit for the first half an hour it had me considering taking up Bikram yoga by the end I'd gotten over that.

Vastly over rated film, personally I found it to be utter ****e. The characters just seemed like an assortment of caricatures thrown together.

Really don't get any of the praise it gets.

I think Hot Fuzz was the last good film Edgar Wright directed. Thought Scott Pilgrim was pretty average and World's End complete crap. Baby Driver is more style over substance.

I really enjoyed Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. Style over substance can work at times, I just think the film has to double down on it. Baby Driver never felt sure about what it wanted to be, so the attempt at style over substance failed.

I really enjoyed Baby Driver

It is style over substance, more music video than film, and it does lose it's way towards the end but I thought the first half was quality

Gutted The Hurt Locker is leaving. Haven't seen it for a while and wanted to rewatch it but won't have time now

Yes, thank you.
I did think it was called Wild West Country.
I only watched it lately and I did expect it to be about the gold rush or cowboys or something when I saved it.

They're not my cup of tea at all, but respect & fair play to Netflix for really diving deep into the sub-genre of Christmas schmaltz; it's obviously a great publicity / subscription winner for them, and they're happy enough to churn out those feel-good, "Hallmark" esque films.

Watched about an hour of teh irishman, before going to bed. Knew we would not finish it last night but it is so long figured watching it over 2 nights was best option anyway.

Excellent imo. Really enjoying it.

Very much enjoyed The Irishman. Those 3 hours flew by to me. Man, Joe Pesci, what a film and performance to come out of retirement on.. I'm sad thinking this might be the last for the whole gang, but man, what a film.

Caught I Lost My Body in the cinema a few days ago and it’s definitely worth a look. I wasn’t totally onboard with some of its narrative choices, but it has a strange, gritty energy and look/sound that I really appreciated. Definitely a welcome change of pace given animated films of the sort are sadly rare beasts.

Just a clear FYI that it’s not for kids - maybe older teens, but it’s ‘adult’ albeit not in the typical ‘adult animation’ (South Park etc) sort of way.

Bikram – Choudhury
Yoga is cool, hot yoga is minging. Holed up in a sweaty stinking complex for nine weeks, paying 10 grand. The bald guy who wasn’t actually touched, kinda sounded disappointed.

I see "Atlantics" has been added recently. I've seen lots of positive reviews about it.

Watched it there tonight. Not sure what to think of it really. I liked it but it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure. Reminded me a little of The Red Turtle, but that might just have been the music? But yes, definitely good to see more adult orientated animation getting a wider audience.

Haunted house

All the money in the world

A technically impressive movie, given Ridley Scott reshot every scene that had Kevin Spacey, in only a few weeks prior to release. The other actors apparently were happy to accommodate, and honestly you'd never know, it's pretty seamless. Christopher Plummer puts in a good performance too, a lot less affected and more naturalistic than Spacey's probably would have been.
