His early work is interesting (from approx. 37 secs.) -
...and from about 30 secs. -

I was going to watch that on Prime last night but they want £20 to buy it, I will wait awhile.
I like a bit of ‘The Stath’ but that’s one stupid looking concept for a movie.
And also far too much given away in the trailer.

Hahaha, i had absolutely no idea! Went to see the Shamen in the early days, don’t remember him appearing!
Just finished 'Fair Play' on Netflix. Superb relationship thriller.
I second that good solid film

Easily the worst of the 3, I am sure it’s part funded by Italian tourist board

Evil Dead Rise
Return of the "Classic" as the book of the dead is opened again , really enjoyed this set in an Apartment so claustrophobic the horror set pieces are top notch and the acting is good plenty of money thrown at it
Nowhere
Woman is set adrift in a Shipping Container after escaping her countries regime which punished Women and Children , obviously far fetched but keeps you watching and again well acted
Both on Netflix
Saw Equaliser 3 this morning, we were the only 2 in the cinema which I love when it happens.
Really enjoyed it, think it was better than the 2nd but not quite there with the original, as is often the case.
Rewatched all the Hunger Games films over the last few nights given their removal from Netflix at the end of the month.
Watched Die Hart starring Kevin Hart and John Travolta.
Very much tongue in cheek, with a few laughs.
But what got my attention was Mr Hart appeared to be wearing a Patek Philippe Chronograph 5990/A throughout.
Dark Hearts on BBC 4 last night episode 1&2. Maybe a little slow , but some good suspense scenes. Also the actors appear to have been trained in searching / clearing buildings.
Saw Equalizer 3 last night. Complete disaster of a script, but it had enough hard boiled vengeance to make it satisfying.
I enjoyed it from the sheer brutality at times.
Certainly won’t go down in the cinema greats, but good fun to watch, bit like Maverick!

A man called Otto was a good watch. Wife's pick, but actually very enjoyable.
Recently saw the re-release of Dead Man's Shoes at the cinema. As good as its reputation.
Possibly both Shane Meadows and Paddy Considine’s finest moments in film for me.
Absolutely one of the great modern British movies definitely in my top 10.
"What the fuck are you looking at?" ...........You, ya c*nt!
Killers of the Flower Moon. Di Nero, Di Caprio, and Lilly Gladstone in Scorsese’s film.
Over 3 hours of great performances and a compelling storyline.

Evil dead 3. Worth a watch
The Royal Hotel...the Mrs. and I were VERY UNIMPRESSED, despite Rotten Tomatoes 96% rating.
I’ve been wanting to watch it for ages but it wasn’t available on any streaming services.
Then noticed it popped up on Amazon so bought it on Tuesday night.
Brilliant film and well worth the purchase.
I heartily recommend a 2010 New Zealand film called Boy. An amusing and evocative account of growing up in the early 80s and, whilst it might be set on the other side of the world, will probably resonate with some here.

It's in English but one might need subtitles.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Absolute top film, might have to watch it again this evening.I heartily recommend a 2010 New Zealand film called Boy. An amusing and evocative account of growing up in the early 80s and, whilst it might be set on the other side of the world, will probably resonate with some here.

Old Dads - resonates & seriously funny.
Respecting diversity not.
Bill Burr, 'nuff said, very funny.
It was actually funnier than I thought it was going to be

Tyrannosaur. Relentlessly bleak, so not for those looking for something easy to watch. But very powerful with brilliant performances.
Just binge watched Rosemary & Thyme.
Thoroughly enjoyable crime/comedy.
That is genuinely not a statement I’d ever think I’d read.

Ah, yes, but perhaps it's because I'm 25 years older than you.That is genuinely not a statement I’d ever think I’d read.
Absolutely and nothing wrong with a bit of genteel crime comedy caper!Ah, yes, but perhaps it's because I'm 25 years older than you.
Just doesn’t feel like a show that would have the tension, excitement, drama or character development that would warrant a binge!

Brilliant! Just goes to show we all like different things.
Perhaps already been mentioned but Manchester by the Sea if you want something powerful

Just re-watched 'Tenet'. Most enjoyable. I still don't have a full handle on the plot yet, but I'm getting there slowly. Loads of 'how the hell did they do that?' moments. As well as plenty of 'my head hurts' bits.
The Killer on Netflix with Michael Fassbender was excellent, NSFW though
Watched Oppenheimer very long and convoluted in parts, couldn’t make my mind up if he was seen as a great Physicist or womanising scapegoat

Watched Plane on prime last night, wasted really expecting much but really enjoyed it… real popcorn film.

Interesting how people can view the same thing/ film differently...Me and the Mrs sat down to watch Fassbender's actioner last night, we both found it quite boring, emotionally unengaging...Tilda Swinton was the best thing in it.
I aso watched Killer last night Found it very tedious especially the Soundtrack and repeated narration No idea how it got an 85% rating on RT
...... just watched 'the killer' , totally bland and forgetful all round 2/10 ( the 2 is for the smiths soundtrack)
Just finished The Killer. Absolutely loved it. I found it immediately engaging. Great acting all round and superb cinematography.
Just finished the killer , I loved it , wife nearly fell asleep through it.
Will be finishing the killer when the wife is out. I really enjoyed it. She lasted 20 mins before telling me it was rubbish.
She's sort of right. I enjoyed it but it's brain-out nonsense, way removed from the sophisticated thriller it wants to be.
I cannot work out if this was the film advertised at the cinema recently. Was definitely a Netflix film but was confused as to why advertise at the cinema for home streaming.
Not actually got far enough into the film to recognise or trigger my memory. So far he’s just in a room with a monologue going on.
This.... my wife fell asleep and I turned it off with 30 mins to go and I can normally watch any old tripe

The killer was an odd one. 70’s reminiscent but had those awful contemporary graphics that kept popping up on the screen, or should I say swooping across. More like a YouTube video than a cinema experience.
As a smiths fan, I’d have rather Fincher omitted the vast majority of Fassbender’s internal monologue and just played the bloody music. Show don’t tell, David!
I enjoy a good revenge mission, though, and it was better than the last John Wick instalment.
You've probably watched it already but if not, may I recommend The Limey, a genuinely top class revenge mission picture.
Seconded. Superb film.
Old Boy has to be one of the finest revenge movies ever made.
You’ll have to adjust your tastes somewhat but as an entire piece of cinema it’s brilliant.
As is Dead Man’s Shoes has already been mentioned above.

Talking of revenge films, A Bad Day For The Cut and You Were Never Really Here are both worth a watch.
Talking of revenge films, I finally got around to getting the DVD (remember them) of Dead Mans Shoes from ebay for £3. Superb film firmly in the Shane Meadows mould but far away from anyone elses. Even better on the second watch
