Just finished watching 'Run'. Very good. Well worth the watch.

Loved it! The determination of the main character!

Age of Samurai : Battle for Japan

...

They have some authors and professors jumping in and introducing characters and giving the facts while you watch the drama. Seamlessly done

I'm a couple of episodes in, and I'm not impressed. They cut between an assortment of breathless talking heads, some footage of cosplaying Japanese fellas placing stones on maps, and the occasional blood-spattered graphic. The graphical maps are flashily illustrated but lacking in detail and frequently baffling (e.g. they all have north on the right for some reason). Episode one ends with someone preparing for the difficult task of taking Kyoto and episode two starts some years after he's taken the city. It's a jumbled mess. Maybe your prior knowledge of the history is filling in gaps for you.

have watched 2 of the three Johnny Worricker triology with Bill Nighy,Kinda of MI16 espionage drama with some razor sharp dialogue,if its action you are looking for though,look elsewhere.The first one is called Page 8.Worth a look ,especially if you like Bill nighy.Good supporting cast,Christopher Walken is in the second one.BBC made so as always good quality.

My wife and I have watched all 3 in the last week. Great movies and no. 3 is the best. Little action, great script and brilliant acting. It's s great recommendation

I watched Run tonight. I thought it was a good tense 90 minute movie that was well done. I liked it apart from the last around minute of it. Would recommend.

Watched it too and while enjoyable it was not a patch on Misery.

Don't watch Thunder Force, it's utter sh1te

Watched Mindhunter over the last few days. Was really good. Can't believe they aren't making a third season.

Just finished Bad Trip.

Really enjoyed it. Mix of scripted movie and hidden camera stunts a la Jackass etc.

Surprised myself how many belly laughs I got out of it. Eric Andre excellent as always in that zany gross out style of work he does.

Indescribably bad. What was Viola Davis thinking about when she read the script and thought yes this will absolutely suit someone of my talent...Avoid.

She's not in it or have I missed something?

I don't think it's fair to rank it against Misery. It was a well executed film in it's own right apart from the last minute in my opinion. You could find a comparison to most films that you could say was better.

I enjoyed it too, a well paced suspenseful thriller. Nice length too.

Presume they've gotten mixed up with Octavia Spencer..

I was more offended by Melissa McCarthy, she's excellent in Spy and basically anything that doesn't involve her husband but the Falcone films she makes are all utter garbage

Watched this as well - genuinely funny stuff, few scenes were outrageous and had us all laughing out loud and it's never really mean-spirited.

Well worth a watch. The format is identical to Bad Grandpa.

Sixty Six is a lovely, heartwarming film.

I'm more surprised with people continuing to watch McCarthy / Falcone collaborations and expecting anything other than what's come in the past.
