I felt like io was tied to my chair being slapped across the face with a dead fish for 2 hours.

It was kinda funny for about 20 minutes but there wasnt a movie in there.

Yes, we get it Mr Director/Writer. Social media is the demon, people are thick, and we are ignoring climate change.

Watched , or rather was forced to watch The Power Of The Dog. It looked like it took place in Middle Earth instead of the wild west frontier. I know it was filmed in NZ but the locations broke immersion. The sets looked like they had been hammered together a week before filming resulting in a world or time that doesn't look lived in. Aesthetics and music seem heavily bowered/inspired by The Will Be Blood. Greenwood even cogged his own score from Blood. People may forget that In The Cut and Holy Smoke were laughable failures on release. Top Of The Lake was atrocious. Im thinking ol Jane is the female version PTA . Of course Even Horizon is far superior to the Piano. lol

Watched Don't Look Up last night - yawn.

To echo most of what has been said, it was entirely too long and so in your face (which I guess is the point).

Didn't care for DiCaprio's cheating character, Lawrence's character was interesting and I wanted more of Chalamet's.

Came away feeling disappointed given the strength of the cast.

I have heard it said Werewolves Within is decent, and the best videogame adaption Hollywood has made - though an IP I doubt many have heard of (I hadn't) while passing through its cinema release unnoticed. Am curious to give it a go.

It is decent, maybe a bit better than that, I was a bit disappointed but I'd had it hyped up quiet a bit. It's only 90 minutes but it flys by and it definitely passed the 6 laugh test for me.

Not a film, but S1 of Altered Carbon fits the bill here (netflix)

CastorTroy

Was Top Boy removed or has it just renewed the rights to show it?

Good timing with Scream 4 with the new one out this month.

I wasn’t sure about starting that show as it got cancelled after season 2

Season two doesn't actually exist

Are you saying I imagined the whole thing?

Homelander

S1 works fine as a standalone, it doesn't end on some huge cliffhanger. Altered Carbon is amazing but season 2 is awful, so much so I didn't even get past the first 2 or 3 episodes.

Someone doesn't know his PTA from his PWSA or at least reads that way.

You got through the whole thing?

Am I the only one who enjoyed "Don't look up" I get some of the criticism but overall it was an enjoyable few hours.

On a different note "Fracture" is on from tonight. Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling (I think) If I remember correctly it was a really good movie, definitely a re watch for me.

gmisk

I have watched the first couple of episodes of the new Swedish dramedy Anxious People, it's a nice easy watch. Its based on a book by Fredrik Bachman (he also wrote a "man called ove" which was made into a rather excellent film in 2015)

does season 2 end with a cliffhanger?

They also slashed the budget; so among other things Season 2 looked really cheap. Like, SyFy channel cheap.

Don't think so

I loved season 1 and only watched a couple of episodes of S2. Night and day in quality

Like the others said, S1 can stand on its own and is brilliant. S2 is poor, but treat S1 as a long film

Fracture is excellent. It has the same kind of plot to Primal Fear with Richard Gere and a brilliant Edward Norton.

Thanks to everyone who recommended midnight Mass,excellent mini series

Andrea B.

I recommend Norwegian movie The Trip. Dark comedy with no shortage of gore.

youcancallmeal

Watched 14 Peaks, incredible achievement and wonderful cinematography. Editing was poor with lots of nonsense inspirational voiceovers. I felt it could've been a multi episode documentary which went more into the details of each mountain and it's challenges but they went the safe route and made something light aimed at the masses. It's worth a watch but could've been so much more

Tried to watch The Hobbit tonight but no sign of it on my Netflix. Do they take a couple of days to come through?

Just rewatched The King, bloody superb movie
