    Watched Cartel Land over the weekend. It's an interesting enough documentary, which follows two separate militia leaders - one in the US and one in Mexico, as they both battle against the Cartels in their own way.

    Also.. watched some of season 2 of Between. I'm not sure if I'll make it the rest of the season. It's falling into the mopey trap that you often see YA content fall into.

    How do you find out what is coming to the Irish Netflix? I remember there being a website but can't find it.

    Will season 3 of Peaky Blinders be added anytime soon? I think it's on the US site.

    Enjoyed The Help glad I watched it before it left. Also watched a great Italian movie last week Malena from the director of Cinema Paradiso. Great score by Enrico Morricone.

    I watched The Invitation the other night. For a while in the middle, I thought it was being a quite brave and surprising film that used misdirection and uncertainty to tell a smart, personal story about being consumed by grief. Unfortunately, I think a lot of what happens in the final act undermines that - basically, it would have a considerably more adventurous and surprising film if it wrapped up on some of the notes it was exploring in the middle.

    Not a bad film, all-in-all, as it maintains a solid tension throughout and even if it can't quite sustain itself through to the end credits, the rest of the film still explores its thematic focus pretty articulately at times.

    The Fundamentals of Caring

    Nice, feelgood film. Easy watch. Paul Rudd plays............Paul Rudd. "bite the Jaaaaames". But that's not a bad thing. Recommended!

    Yeah, watched at weekend too. First half was great, and then it got a bit too hokey.. but Rudd and the underated Craig Roberts were superb!

    Absolutely. I don't want to get in to a review, but I thought it was very good.

    This was very good. I'm guessing many others have described it as 'Bergman-esque' so I might as well roll in and say its a bit Bergman-y.

    Just listened to this philosophy/psychology/ethics podcast reviewing it which is worth a listen if you're into deep readings of film - Very Bad Wizards.

    Here's the YouTube video the director got the idea from:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-nkUnAcZtA


    Strong recommendation if you like your drama very intense and interpersonal and all that.

    Watched "Surfwise" last night about Dorian ‘Doc' Paskowitz who turned his back on regular society in order to surf and raise his 9 children with his wife in various motor homes over the years.

    Really crazy story, quite the character with so many layers, he has a somewhat idealist philosophy, much of which makes sense when explained in black and white, but the application of his philosophy has had quite the impact on those closest to him (like any parents impact to the life of their children I suppose!) ........well worth the watch IMO.

    Yeah really good documentary and quite unsettling.

    I would strongly advise against watching NSU German History X. I'm generally a fan of skinhead films, but the lack of editing in this show was pretty dire. The lead actress breaking the fourth wall is painfully hamfisted too.

    Off topic but The Lighthouse are doing a "Films You'd Love Your Kids To See" season at the moment including ET, The Goonies, Flight of The Navigator, Short Circuit, and a whole load more. Pretty good timing as I'd say anyone watching Stranger Things will be feeling to urge to revisit a few of these.

    There's flashbacks later in the film showing more of what happened.

    Finished watching dragon blade (Jackie Chan, Adrien Brody, and John Cusack), netflix version is edited from the version I saw before which had some archaeologist trying to find evidence of the Romans in China.

    Still liked the film and the archaeologist stuff was weird in any case.

    Netflix don't edit they show films and tv shows exactly the way they're given them from the rights holder.

    As with many Asian films, there exists an international edit and a home edit. We often get shorter cuts though in many cases not a whole lot is lost.
