Film

I watched 'It Comes at Night', ok horror but it felt a bit rushed, for a horror about isolation it could have been fleshed out a bit more to build tension between the characters but instead it's just pretty balls to the wall for 90 mins and it's over.

It's interesting watching a film from just 4 years ago about a virus though.

Ghostbusters 2 - Classic. First one is heavier on the Murray therefore better but both unreal.

Casino - Hadn't watched this in years. Up there with the best of them.

Ghostbusters 2 has darker moments and Vigo was a better opponent than Gozer was. None of the actors seemed all that arsed though (least of all Murray) and it shows. Still good though.

Casino is just 'Goodfellas' mixed with a Giallo horror film. Never liked it, just straight unpleasant all the way through. I'll forever stick with 'Goodfellas'.

Goodfellas is definitely better alright and they are very much cut from the same cloth but I always liked it.

I watched Blood Red Sky earlier. Decent enough but way too long at two hours. A good idea no doubt but maybe a little bit of humour in it (I'm thinking the kind of sharp dialogue from Dog Soldiers) could have lifted it a bit. Or maybe making it more tense... it just lacked a little bit of magic but it was OK.

Calibre - Decent drama thriller on Netflix.
Panic Room - Fincher popcorn film.
The Game - Never saw this but really enjoyed it.
Minari - Nice enough, clearly an Oscar film.
Captain Fantasic - Good fun drama, always been a fan of Viggo.

The Game is very entertaining alright, a safe bet for a movie night if anyone ain't seen it.

I'm a big fan of Captain Fantastic too. In a vaguely similar vein, have you seen Leave No Trace?

Haven't but I'll check it out. Looks similar but less comedic.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Not comedic at all haha. The main actress is, I'm quite confident, going to be a household name in great acting very soon. Same actress who plays the hidden Jewish girl in Jojo Rabbit.

Watched Big Trouble In Little China in the Lighthouse on Saturday. Magic!

Watched The Game last week alright. Hadn't seen it since it came out. Enjoyable watch.

I just watched a really good Australian film called Mad Bastards. It covers the issues faced by the Aboriginal people in a warm and convincing way. Nice soundtrack as well. Worth a look if you can find it.

That rings a bell actually, must look it up.

Watched the Swedish version of Millenium, or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, or whatever it's called tonight. Actually forgot when I started that the English language remake was Daniel Craig. Anyway, very entertaining and engaging way to spend two and a half hours. Thought Noomi Rapace was great in it.

I watched a new film called Limbo there the other night. It's basically about a group of asylum seekers who get put on a shite island near Scotland while waiting for their applications to be processed.

It's a fairly bleak/slow film but does make you think about how our own system could be improved with regards to direct provision.

Although the fact that pretty much every white character was an ignorant racist was a little cheap/annoying though.

The six part series is the version to go for: two 1½ hour parts per book, the movies are edited versions. Exceptional, and much better than the crap Hollywood remake.

Ah okay. So what I watched was, say, the first two eps cut from 3 hours down to 2 1/2, is that it? If that's the case, I'll switch to the series for the next four alright. Cheers man.
