Watched Coming To America and the sequel back to back. Original still holds up great and the sequel is actually daycent.

Recently watched I care a lot which was  pretty good if you like your con artist type movies.

Took us a couple of nights, but just finished Once Upon A Time In America. Wow. They don't make 'em like that anymore! Complex, subtle, emotionally challenging. Should have watched it years ago.

Watched the new one. Good craic. Leave yer brain at home and enjoy it.

Watched Samurai movie Zatoichi last night. Great watch.

Watched Green Room last night. Odd seeing Patrick Stewart as the neo nazi owner of a skin head bar.

Dad Savage is another one where he plays a bollocks, worth a look but not amazing.

Green Room is great craic.

Any recommendations for anything in the style of Man Bites Dog/Der Todesking? Something that takes a black comedy approach to horrific events.

Just wondering if any of you on here use Letterboxd? https://letterboxd.com/

A mate convinced me to open an account recently, and so far it has been a pretty handy way of quickly finding film ideas, and also having a very handy "what to watch" watchlist.

I have it and it's really good for finding films imo. You get the list stuff which is nice but I use it mainly just to add things to a watchlist, when I want to watch something I can just check it. You can filter your list by decade, genre, lagnuage etc too.

So Avatar Is now back to being the biggest grossing film of all time. How can a film that has largely been forgotten about and no real impact without any real rave reviews made it to the top?

Yeah, it's already been useful quite a few evenings, saving precious time trying to think of something to watch!

Yeah, I use it too. A buddy of mine got me on it when it first started as a beta test site - then it was opened up and it turned into every other social media platform with people sniping and bitching at each other... about film reviews!

I still use it to log films but the adverts are starting to drive me fucking nuts.

Watched Greenland over the weekend, standard enough apocalypse fare, some cool visual of comet fragment impacts.

The Upside, Bryan Cranston plays a quadriplegic who hires ex con Kevin Hart to be his carer. Enjoyed this one more than I expected.
