It was far too slow for me and I got bored after about a half hour or so. Should I continue?

I'd say yes!

I see The Final Girls was added. I highly recommend it. It's a really fun homage to 80s teen slasher films.

It's about Max, a teenager still grieving her actress mother's death. Her friends drag her along to a late night screening of one of her mother's most famous films, Camp Bloodbath. A fire breaks out and while trying to escape they end up being transported into the film.

It has a really nice story at the centre of it, while having a lot of fun with the concept. And it's really more homage than spoof. I'm looking forward to watching it again.

Watched it on Horror Channel about a year ago, quite funny

Yes I'd have to agree, I finished it off there this evening.

Whilst it was good but I couldn't get with how over the top it was, how do the writer's think that any rational viewer would believe that the holes made behind the piano could be filled so easily.

I watched bad trip last night, it was pretty stupid but I did enjoy it especially as a fan of the Eric Andre Show.

Must check out Bitter Daisies. Will also be watching Sky High as Luis Tosar is great.

I’ve only watched two episodes of last chance I basketball so far and am also enjoying it .
I would much prefer American football for these types of documentaries but it’s still very good . The coach seems like a more normal nice guy too than the American football ones !

Can anyone confirm whether unforgotten season 3 is leaving Monday or not ?
I’ve two episodes left

Excellent series .
Coach Mosley and all the players came across really well. I was fully rooting for Big Joe by the halfway mark.
Won’t say anymore as it would contain spoilers

stupid Covid

Can't take Idris seriously anymore after those cringe inducing Sky ads. I'd be expecting him to belt out a Christmas song at any minute.

Bitter daisies is decent enough, I watched it a few years back when it was on netflix before.

Watched Run, as I really enjoyed Searching. No doubt director Aneesh Chaganty can put together a solid thriller, but alas this one doesn’t fully land. The biggest problem is that the directions the story goes in a way go against some of the things that make the initial setup so interesting. It’s predictable, yes, but in a way that undermines the characters in the process.

It doesn’t overstay its welcome at a tidy 85 mins or so, and there’s a propulsive pacing to it for the most part. One or two clever set pieces make great use out of the lead character’s limited mobility and sheer determination. Just don’t expect it to fully deliver on its intriguing setup.

Watched Liar Liar yesterday. Hadnt seen it since i was a teenager. Still hilarious.

In the name of the Father just added and I am going to watch it this weekend.

Also death becomes her has been added. Hilarious.

Haven’t seen death becomes her for years. Might be worth a rewatch.

It is still terrific fun.
I miss seeing Goldie Hawn in films

Bad Trip was good harmless silly fun..

.. some hits, some misses but unfortunately do think it would have worked best as a cinema movie with an audience. Shame!

Worth a watch for something daft and entertaining though.

If you happen to be in Turkey, you can watch it.

VPN yourself around the world and there happens to be a lot more content available on netflix.

Mod note Folks please read the charter. No discussion of how to get around regional restrictions, please.

I was probably the reason for this discussion. I just want to make it clear that when I asked what Turkish library meant, I thought it was a film or series. I tried to search for awakenings on Netflix and was so disappointed with the realisation that Turkish library was...etc

But i saw that the Mexican with Brad Pitt was added. Another film from my youth (well my early 20s) i love.

Awakenings is on Now TV, if you have that.

Itssoeasy

Watched sleepers today after it’d had been added earlier in the week and it’s great to finally rewatch it in full years after I’d first seen it. A few mentioned Dustin Hoffmanns performance and i can’t believe I forgot to mention him a couple of days ago, it was superb. Robert De Niro of course is superb and that final courtroom scene is the icing on the cake. And I’d forgotten about the airport shooting scene of the guard from the institution near the end. “They said he died of pneumonia. They said.”
