I couldn’t think of anything I wanted to watch last night so have been advised by this thread…

I thought Warfare was very good and very loud. I’m starting to like that Will Poulter, having previously, and irrationally, been irritated by him.
Amongst other things (obviously) He’s also in a film called Wild Bill which I thought was really good.

Give The Surfer a go.

It's not the film you'll think it will be.

Currently watching Rome which was on BBC/HBO in the mid 2000s. Stacked full of classically trained actors and high production values, great series.

It's really good, feels very early Game of Thrones. Augustus in the second series is such a great character.
Wish it went on for another series or two but I think it was just costing HBO too much money.

I haven`t read the book that The Society of the Snow came from, but I`ve read the book - Alive.

Sadly the film doesn`t do it justice, as the book goes into much more detail about how they arrived at and subsequent eating of the dead.

With them all being devout Catholics, they faced not only the moral dilemma of eating human flesh, but also the spiritual dilemma too.

The book really explores the anguish and inner turmoil of all involved and how some of them decided to allow themselves to die, rather than betray their faith and as such provide food for the others.

It really is a book you can only read once.

I`m a massive fan of his acting talents.

No one does overacting like the Cage monster.

Although his Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas which richly deserved too.

Don’t bother watching him in Gunslingers- utter dross.

Still on the first series, Mark Anthony is brilliantly played.

Just come out of Final Destination. Ludicrous nonsense. Loved it.

Just got out of it too. Definitely a film you leave your brain at the entrance for and pick it up on your way out

My Mrs works in healthcare and hasn’t stopped moaning about the MRI scene all the way home lol

Nonnas on Netflix was a good watch, based on a real New York restaurant that hires real life ‘Nonnas’ as chefs. It was a movie I expected to have in the background but it was engaging!

Back in November I was in NYC and wish I’d heard of Enoteca Maria - I’d have booked ahead!

Just got into Andor because of all the online hype. Just finished S1 and enjoying it. Doesn’t really feel like Star Wars at all tbh.

eastwoodsdustman · May 16, 2025

Watched the documentary on bbc called unforgotten about the bradford city fire. Well worth a watch.

I've nearly finished series two and it's even better than the first.
The best Star Wars for a long time imo

There's a very pertinent scandi drama on bbc4 coming to an end to nite, lot's of parallels with immigration,where it's white people attempting to get out of Denmark!
Should be available on iPlayer.

Hallow road. An hour and a half of the most uncomfortable film watching ever

chiefdave · May 18, 2025

BBC Lockerbie drama was shit, not a patch on th Colin Firth one that was on recently

Don't know if you mean what you said as a compliment or a complaint, but I looked it up and it sounds like my speed so I'm gonna go see it!

Saw it yesterday. The last few Final Destinations have been rubbish but I really enjoyed this one.
The set up of each death is really anxiety inducing as you're trying to work out what's going to happen.
Everyone in the cinema was laughing at the bin collection scene as well

Geez, thanks a bunch. Now we know people die in it, you have ruined the whole film for the rest of us.

Not necessarily in Birmingham!

Was flicking through the channels yesterday and caught the last episode of the first series of The Soprano's .

Watched them all a few times before but I think I might dive in again

chiefdave · May 21, 2025

Fearing for The Last of Us. Only a 7 episode season and there's way too much filler, only been one really good episode.

Now we're into Walking Dead territory and flashback episodes.

At this point I'm happy there's only one more to go, hopefully ends on a high.

Feel exactly the same way. One absolutely brilliant episode and nearly everything else has been pure padding and very little going on

Disappointing

Watching on You Tube 'Source to Sea down the river Thames without leaving it'. Its an 8 part series as exactly what it says in the title. It's quite watchable. He starts in Gloucestershire at Thames Head which is virtually dry, walks the start of it through the river and further down picks up his kayak. Not for everyone but I'm kinda enjoying it. The guy is called Ed Pratt and is very likeable.

I did the whole walk a few years ago.
