'The Gone' on BBC iPlayer. Irish/New Zealand crime drama about a missing couple.
Starts off a bit slowly, but gets good if you stick with it. Ended up binging through both series over the weekend.

Not new but just started watching old seasons of Lego Masters. Vibes are immaculate, just a bunch of geeks geeking out of Lego builds.

First Warhammer, now watching Lego programs, how long until you start playing Minecraft?

Enjoyed the first series, forced myself to watch all of the second but didn't really enjoy it as much as the first. Made it halfway through episode 2 of the third series before I gave up.

Season 2 was great, definitely the best season imo. Season 4 seemed to be deliberately trying to play the hits from that season, which did actually work occasionally.

Season 3 was largely pointless, I think they were told halfway through filming that they wanted 20 more episodes instead of 10.

Half the people I know who saw weapons loved it the other half thought it was shit. I don’t watch horror so can’t comment.

I just thought it was really slow. It was very much like that bring her back.

I like to know why and how with films, thought weapons was just over hyped and took way too long to get to the point.

Yeah, we all know you like the film equivalent of a two footed lunge early doors.

You don't do slow burn. You do crates of Molotov cocktails.

Saw 'Together' last night. Really enjoyed it, a few good scares as well.
Personally preferred it to Weapons, but not as good as Bring Her Back

Marshmallow.

Part horror, part sc-fi.

Starts off like a predictable school Summer camp horror and then goes totally nuts in the second half, where the sc-fi elements kick in.

Got a real B movie feel to it, but despite a cast of relative unknowns the acting is really good.

The young boy who plays the lead is excellent, as are the other kids.

Watches very much like an A24 film.

Yeah, liked this one. A decent premise with a few twists along the way.

Agree about the acting, I thought they were all excellent.

Next up: Dangerous Animals & Hallow Rd

I finished watching the final season of The Bear recently and I just don't understand the hype around it. I enjoyed the first season but the last couple of seasons just feel self-indulgent and just a bit boring.

S1 and S2 were excellent/great. Season 3 was crap, the plot of the series was just preparing for a review - complete yawn fest.

S4 felt like a step in the right direction again. Not as good as first two seasons for me but still enjoyed it.

Thanks for jogging my memory about Hallow Road, as I missed it on the cinema with it only getting a limited release

Stumbled across 10 Rillington Place (1971) yesterday. Got Dickie Attenborough and a very young John Hurt in it.

True story about some horrible bastard that many have likely already seen/heard of.

I thought it was very well done.

While I’m here talking about old serial killer films…if you haven’t seen it and don’t mind a foreign language film give ‘M’ a watch. Absolute belter.

Weapons.

What a steaming pile of horse dung.

Without doubt the worst film I`ve seen this year, a stellar cast, with a script written by a load of GSCE drama students.

Disjointed, boring, not in any way frightening or suspenseful and some of the so called scary bits, were actually properly funny.

The old lady / witch, who looked like a some old piss head, you`d find in every Wetherspoons, the Benny Hill style chase with the kids at the end

No even Josh Brolin or Julia Garner could save this mess.

The only blessing was that I didn`t waste my money at the cinema going to see it.

Loch Ness on Netflix (believe it was originally The Loch on ITV)

Good cast and good start but with only the last episode to go it's quickly devolved into stupidity (someone from one character's past turns up and basically says 'murder is my hobby', everyone walks around by themselves despite a serial killer being at large), I expect the reveal will be absolute nonsense and will actually be disappointed by this point if it all makes sense

Yup

A couple of slightly less interesting seasons, but on the whole, a top show

Went to see Dark Knight Rises tonight and doing the next two the next two nights. Jaws and Indiana Jones soon too. Films I’ve never seen on the big screen and every time I’ve seen one it’s better than it was on TV. Highly recommend it if you’ve got a spare night. Most cinemas seem to have at least one old movie a week.

Hostage on Netflix is very watchable. More thanks to some good acting rather than the story which has plot holes you could drive a train through.

A thriller you can watch without the need to take notes to follow what is happening

I`ve always found the Halloween events to be the most fun, when they show a load of old classic horrors, like the Exorcist, Nightmare on Elm St etc as back to back films. Loads of fun and a great atmosphere inside.

Before its general release, while it was still ‘banned’, I went to see The Exorcist at the NFT on the Southbank at Halloween.Must’ve been ‘96 or ‘97?
Notable, as I was very stoned (not my usual thing) which made the showing exponentially scarier for me. At one point I decided I just wouldn’t look at the screen.

Also notable as it was the first time I heard someone getting shouted at (rightly so) for talking during a film…”WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP”!
It did the trick.

You would have to get me stoned too and drag me to that Terry, saw this on VHS in the 80, two scenes really spooked me (even though it's spfx/puppetry) so much so I've never watched it again on TV etc. daft as it sounds. Quite enjoyed the original though.

Awww Reg…I’m trying to think of the 2 scenes. I’m guessing one of them is when they’re testing the blood?

I saw it in the late 90s on VHS on mates portable tv with built in video player (Ooooh!) and didn’t have high hopes. Thought it was great! I think it’s one that’s stood the test of time.
