"channellling the Pleideans"
Yeah we had a look over the weekend. I thought it was excellent. One of my favourite movies in the last couple of years was MIDNIGHT SPECIAL and I reckon this is up there with it.Originally Posted by Crasherfromwayback
What I didnt know going in is that it is a trilogy of books so I will read those over winter.

Binged on "Okkupert" aka "Occupied" this weekend, 2 seasons on Netflix. Highly recommend it.
Subtitled (with English at times) Norwegian production from 2015 & 2017.
Relevant to the modern times with all the current political crap at the moment. The tv show is set in a future Norway which following climate change influenced natural disasters elects a Green Party to power who aim to phase out the use and supply of carbon fuels... unfortunately the EU heavily reliant on this energy and the other main supplier of energy to Europe - Russia have other ideas. Friendly Russia comes to help Norway restart its oil production and supply
The show poses a difficult question on what one would do if they had power and their country was occupied and how far? Demonstrating the complexity of balancing lives, party politics, public popularity, and stability in times of occupation/war, passing no judgement on collaboration, fighting, "terrorism", "counter-terrorism".
8/10 for strong character development, plot, and realism.

Ready Player One- Loved it. Some serious nostalgia. 8/10

A Quiet Place
I hadn't read or seen anything about this other than it was directed by John Krasinski (Jim from the US Office). Fucking really enjoyed it. It's a very basic premise but really well executed. 9/10

Not an expert but it felt more like a children's film to me.
James Corden is irritating to listen to but perhaps the finest work Sam Neill has done since The Hunt for Red October.
Save it for a rainy day if you cannot get in to Paddington 2.
3/10

Very tame remake of a great original. Boring as hell, 2 / 10

Not a movie but if you like twisted British drama you might enjoy this, End of the f***ing world on Netflix.
Quirky does not do it justice, had me squirming uncomfortably and laughing in equal measure.
Manopausal.

Charles Bronson in the original if I remember correctly and rather gritty.
Geriatric hoon
That's available on Youtube - or was, I watched it there a coupla months ago.
Just watched a review of the remake. "Stupendously awful."

Rasta Ratskins
Yep, agree, very quirky and interesting....

On the basis of the recommendations here I went to watch it but bugga! I'd already seen it. Quirky is a good description. Worth a watch.

Short review. Received an email from Netflix advising me "Wild Card" was available. Starts out a bit different but soon becomes standard Statham fare. Which is not a bad thing, just dont expect great art.
Perfect for a rainy afternoon.

pop quiz: has statham ever done anything non-statham-ly? i'm not sure i'd even watch it...
Fully qualified Sifter.
Normally, you and I seem to have similar tastes. I was really looking forward to this, but was quite let down by it. Who the fuck gets preggers when monsters can hear your every sound? If ever there was an excuse for anal, this house was it.
