First season is wonderful nonsense. I only watched first episode of the second season, all the fun and mystery completely absent

Great news, season 1 was compelling viewing.

Just binged Silent Sea - decent story and everything, couple of plot holes but all round decent enough show to make me want to watch the next episode which is a rarity with some of the crap going round these days

Been watching South Korean stuff for a good few years now but think Netflix is really putting them on the map for good quality stuff - probably cheap to produce but high quality production

In fairness, it was written before covid existed, but I get the impression it was about conspiracy theorists in general.

Agree with your synopsis of the movie though, should have been better.

I watched Silent Night a few weeks back, and it too was written and filmed before Covid, and the main crisis in it is a result of climate change, but the fact it's come out now makes it almost impossible to watch it and not view it through the lens of 2 years of Covid. It's an interesting thing, I think. Would things like this have been received completely differently if they'd been released 2 years ago, or if Covid had never happened.

dublin49 · 30-12-2021 03:02PM

Watched Power of the Dog last night,surprised it was so favourably reviewed as some critics had it as their film of the year.Its beautifully filmed and the acting by some to my untrained eye looks impressive although there is lots going unsaid and its not always clear what the nature of these unspoken lines might be.Its slowish and not much tension and I am sure it will disappoint as many as it pleases.A tentative recommendation but its not a western as we know it ,more a study of disparate characters and their motivations and actions.

Earthhorse · 30-12-2021 03:17PM

Yes, I felt a bit let down by it. I’ve not seen any Jane Campion films before; it was beautifully composed and very well acted but the whole thing felt a bit detached. Perhaps that’s her style, I don’t know, but because I never felt drawn into the drama, as lovingly told as it was it simply didn’t move me.

Started to watch My Lover My Killer...its basically Killer in my Village renamed..nah..

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.

BruteStock · 31-12-2021 02:57PM

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

Pen Rua · 01-01-2022 09:10AM

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.
