Streamed these two, both excellent and both very different films on recommendation at the weekend : On Falling. This is a standout film, but fuck me it`s bleak. An introverted young Portuguese migrant, along with other migrants and a handful of poorly paid locals, works in a massive warehouse...

A disgusting corrupt money grab, nothing more, nothing less.

I don`t know what`s happened to the Telegraph, it used to be a quality paper, albeit right leaning, now it`s just a broadsheet version of the Daily Heil.

A true comedy classic 💙

I thought the best character was Akram. You`re always left wondering whether he was a good Syrian policeman or a very very bad one. Alexjej Manvelov plays the part to prefection.

Not on the same planet as Long Legs ! As @Ccfcisparks says, just weird and trippy, which leads you to start believing that you`re not actually seeing what`s in front of you.

Doesn`t surprise me, as it watched pretty much likea quasi art house film !

Watched the latest offering from Saint Nicolas Cage last night - The Surfer. What a very odd film, trippy and a real nod to 70`s film making, but highlighting about toxic masculinity at the same time. I thought Saint Nic was very good in this and despite it being so weird and trippy, I really...

It`s very good, but it`s quite off the wall, which you`ll quickly realise when you start watching it. Don`t let that put you off, as it`s pretty much a word for adaptation of the excellent book of the same name and it gets a lot darker as it progresses. There`s some real laugh out load dark...

I think you can pretty much guarantee, that anything Travis Fimmel is in is going to be good. He just has a real screen presence. He`s very good in another Aussie tv drama, which is a bit off the wall - Boy Swallows Universe.

I`ve read the very first book, that this series is based on and enjoyed it very much. Are the rest of the books as good or do they become a bit " samey " ? Assad is an absolute genius character, totally leftfield and you`re always trying to work out whether he was one of the good guys or one...

You have to wonder what sort of mess the States will be in by the time the World Cup comes around next year ? Trump has been in less than six months and he`s already well on the way to turning the country into a quasi fascist police state. Why would anyone want to go to a World Cup in America...

Spot on there with the BBC reference, maybe this is why it’s so much better than the usual plop that Netflix serves up.

Best British crime drama that`s been done for quite a while and they`ve really done the excellent book it`s come from proper justice. Every once in while Netflix pull a rabbit out of their generic pile a nothingness and this is 100% of them. Read someone describing it as a cross between Rebus...

Think there`s at least ten books, so there`s a lot of material for them to do more.
