On an article somewhere I came across Bone Tomahawk so it being a Kurt Russell western, so I thought, I gave it a go last night.  WTF?!?!

In a good or bad way? never seen it myself!

Marching powder out this week

trailer was hilarious, I hope it was intended, seemed like a parody!

WAtched Presence last night. I do get annoyed with this camera techique. It's not a jump out of your skin horror but quite good. 

[Council Scum]

Watched The Gorge last night.  Was quite fun. 

The Gorge just felt like I was watching a platform game and had to google that it wasn't.

Heart Eye's drifted on far too long in places with no real action. 

Both are watchable if, like me, you are currently stuck indoors. But they aren't that good. 

Council-  Heart Eyes is supposed to be a Rom Com/ Horror, You don't usually get a lot of action in Rom Coms. 

I want people getting killed regularly in slasher films mate. Not scene after scene of fuck all happening.

Noted that quite a few Gene Hackman films are now free to view on various platforms.  On the Hackman thread RBshorty mentioned Hoosiers of which I hadn't really heard of.  Not a basketball fan at all but must say I enjoyed it so well worth a watch.  The great Dennis Hopper co-stars.

Not seen it. Night Moves looks another good one I haven't seen.

There's only one movie to watch right now after Winnie The Pooh Blood and Honey 1 and 2

Watched The Brutalist at the weekend, Guy Pearce was super in the supporting role but jeez did they not have a cutting room as it seems to go on forever, 7.5/10 though but have plenty of coffee on standby to avoid drifting off

Has a Holocaust connection so for sure will win at the Oscars big time oln Sunday.

[Far Cough UKunt]

OK it's not a recent movie but I'm currently watching Ran, Kurosawa's adaptation of King Lear, what a fantastic feast for the eyes it is, absolutely superb, if you haven't seen it get the 4k Ultra Hd version, you won't be disappointed.

[Swiss.]

Has Stephen King done anything decent in the last 20 years?

As per Anon's post. Of course James Wan has directed and written Saw, The Conjuring , The Nun and Anabelle etc. Quite a CV. 

[Swiss.]

Dr Sleep, Mr Mercedes, and 11/22/63 were decent books with good adaptions 

You took the words right out of my mouth. But he's not as prolific as he was but I guess that's age. 

[JAC]

Sadly they wont be making the second part of 11/23/63 which as shame as the first part was excellent as was the book.

[Lee Trundle]

Thanks, I'll check out Dr Sleep.  I'd struggle to find time for the other 2 as they're both TV series.

The Monkey is released tomorrow. A Stephen King and James Wan collaboration. Doesn't get much better a team for horror.

Heart Eyes is a must see

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Also watched Heretic and have the same view, Grant very good, average horror yarn.

CS - He's back in one of his old roles soon in the new Bridget Jones film

Have managed to avoid every watching a Bridget Jones film, hope to keep it that way 

Youre missing out bruv

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Talking of Liam Neeson films: I thought Absolution was a pretty good watch! A couple of his more recent films, this one included, have been very watchable. The other one being ‘In the land of Saints and Sinners’ 

I thought that  saints and sinners was a decent effort .
If only for the change of scenery.
