Watched Sputnik with subtitles, bit slow in places but the creature is well done

Watched 2 episodes of night stalker and just couldn’t get into it, seems to be just a catalogue of each murder but not much into the actual investigation and seems to be missing an edge that some other similar true crimes series have. I must be missing something as I havnt heard any other negative reviews!

U should watch episode 4 then cause that’s all about him, his arrest and trial.

Another recommendation:

Broken Law.

Very good. N some funny moments.

I love watching Irish films .

That’s bullsh*t though a guard being denied a loan, they would have banks/credit union throwing loans at them.....

Hmmm. Which to believe? Would love to go with the latter but past experience tells me the former, unfortunately.

Can someone please make a happy Irish film please? I thought Irish people could find humour in anything. Why does this not extend to filmmaking? :rolleyes:

Critics love misery, the more empty and miserable you make the film the more they'll love it,

We're Irish.. clearly, we love the misery too. Look at the Late Late on a Friday night talking about abortion, cancer and the like.. all while Norton has a riot over on the other side.

Critics love misery? Please. 99% of Irish culture, be it books, songs or film wallow in self-flagellation and despair. Whole generations were raised on Peig after all, and other "why life sucks" stories before we got to make our own films. Heck just read the Current Affairs / After Hours forum here, it's wall to wall moan. The Irish are a welcoming people, but ye gods we'll always find a cloud in any silver lining also.

Sat through it on Friday night, first time in about 2 years, I think I'll wait 3 years next time

Handsome Devil is on Netflix, I think. Fairly light watch and generally happy. The Young Offenders film is great too.
Not on Netflix but I'd reccomed A Bump Along The Way, Gold, Dating Amber, Grabbers, The Runway, Last Rights, You're Ugly Too, and My Brothers. Varying degrees of happiness and quality but mostly a "worth a watch" rating or above.

Calm with horses isn't great and Garage is just boring, Bad day for the Cut is another no_no unless you are into Deathwish mid Ulster style
Man about Dog might raise a giggle or two

I got 5 minutes into Calm with Horses. I managed to finish Garage, just to see if it would get funny at some stage. God, it was desperate.

My personal favourite is Michael Inside. There should be a suicide warning before and after that one. :rolleyes:

Garage isn’t a comedy.

Me and the gf started it when I got tested positive 2 weeks ago. Up to season 7, never watched it before so gave us some laughs. Thought it got a bit weaker as the seasons went on but still a brilliant show.

We both said we'd happily work in that office

Babyteeth, Proxima and Les Miserables were all added recently and all worthy of a look.
