"Chim - Glad you liked it, and yes lived with me for a while. 'Casually violent' is a good way of describing. The couple at the end were the only 2 left standing. I liked the scene when the bloke come down from London :-) I've swerved The Nightingale so far, not sure I will like it."

"Manuel 8:05 Tue Sep 15 Thanks for the recommendation of Down Terrace. Liked it a lot and it kind of lived with me after watching it. Wierd and very casually violent. Saw The Devil All The Time tonight. Another relentlessly grim film (in the same kind of way The Nightingale was) but this was all based on mental mid-Western bible belt religion. A decent, well cast watch."

"I watched Tenet the other day, visually stunning and great acting, could t take my eyes off it even though i wasnt entirely sure what was going on some of the time."

"Watched 'First man' the other day, bit disappointed really and felt it was half an hour too long!"

"With the Bond film back to April, Cineworld is shitting up shop for now meaning redundancies. These film companies could have at least stuck some of their smaller films on instead of sticking them straight into the streaming market. When it comes back their might not be so many cinemas left and that will impact ticket sales. So not one big release this year now. 2021 blockbuster overload."

Free Fire was about the worst film I’vd ever seen. It was like they ran out of money after five minutes

On Amazon Prime too

Borat 2 on the way. Just watched the trailer and as before seems to have found some unbelievably stupid Americans to play with. Bit of Pence baiting at a rally looks entertaining too.

"Il traditore AKA The Traitor is an absorbing, albeit slow paced, Eyetie drama about Mafia don/informant Tommaso Buscetta. Definitely worth a watch."

"Sightseers is good, fucking warped though. I think he is hit and miss. Thought High Rise was terrible."

"yes, love Kill List & A Field In England. the only one I didn't like was Free Fire"

"Watched an old Ben Wheatley flick 'Down Terrace' thought it was excellent, if a bit dark, some good 'characters' in it. Seen a few of his but had missed this one. Any Wheatley fans in the house? He has a new one 'Rebecca' out soon."

"I watched Hater on Netflix last night.. a polish thriller, thought it was excellent. HBO have picked it up for a series.."

"I watched I’m Thinking of Ending Things on Netflix. It wasn’t too bad. It’s by the same person who did Being John Malkovich and Eternal Happiness of the Spotless Mind, so that will give you an indication about what type of film it is. It is not as good as those two films, goes on a bit too long, and the actual point of it is questionable. On the plus side, it has some wonderfully wierd moments and some superb acting performances."

"Watched The Nightingale Good film but not as brutal as I was expecting based on the comments on here, very good film though."

"Yeah the Babadook was decent, but then I love psychological horrors if they're well made. She definitely knows how to get the best out of her cast, the acting in both flicks is superb, especially the kid playing the annoying brat."

"She’s a great director isn’t she? That and the Babadook The girl who plays The nightingale is a great actress, she does a fab psycho/nut job - it’s the girl from the Fall isn’t it?"

"She’s a great director isn’t she? That and the Babadook The girl who plays The nightingale is a great actress, she does a fab psycho/nut job - it’s the girl from the Fall isn’t it?"

Chill... yeah you can see why audiences walked out after the first half hour or so... but spot on I could not take my eyes off the screen...

"I can easily recommend The Nightingale - despite it not being easy viewing - grim, brutal and compelling."

First trailer for Dune has dropped. Nice use of Floyd’s Eclipse.

Peckham - The Beast. Great film.

Not 2020 but superb war films missed by many. 1988 The Beast - Russian tank crew lost in Afghanistan. Superb tension. Best tank movie I have seen. 2012 The Mountain - DAG - subtitled Turkish special forces in Afghanistan again. 2016 The mountain 2 For comedy just watched and enjoyed for the 2nd time The Death of Stalin.

"""What, apart from watching a decent film?"" Depends if you have seen all the decent films that are available doesn't it."

"BFI? Pah. Can recommend the Raindance courses for anyone that wants to get into indie filmmaking. Not expensive, but top notch. They claim Guy Ritchie and Christopher Nolan started with them."
