    Uncut gems. Just brilliant. Sandler is exceptional in it.

    I’d encourage anime fans to check out Night Is Short, Walk on Girl as well. It’s absolutely mad and a mess and exhausting. However, in a world where anime has become quite stylistically formulaic, Masaaki Yuasa’s films are explosions of colour and imagination. This one’s no different, and is an absolute trip.

    Just watch uncut gems. Very intense from start to finish, it’s a million miles an hour and far better than Good Time. Great film and a superb central performance by Adam Sandler, he is unlucky not to get picked for an Oscar nomination he probably should be in there instead of the fella in the Pope film.

    Ahhm...
    He got found guilty of murder. Hanged himself in prison after a not guilty verdict for separate murders

    I watched it this morning ,it really was a million miles an hour but almost too manic to keep me interested . The girlfriend was very watchable though

    It probably felt a bit tedious for you then- I can see why.
    it kinda fell between two stools; concentrating too much on the biopic angle for those interested in the true crime angle, and vice versa for the biopicophiles. A condensed version might have helped both camps. Given how amazing he looked on the pitch, it might have been more interesting to have been biopic heavy in a first episode, including his personality and propensities, and how they lead to his charges, and a second about the trial, giving more revelations.

    Horse Girl, starring Alison Brie, is out on Hetflix next Friday. Alison is excellent in GLOW, so I'm looking forward to this:

    I was expecting more of Uncut Gems, tbh. It just seemed full of caricatures and I couldn't empathise with anyone.

    The stranger is well worth a watch.

    I enjoyed second series of sex education.

    There was a link on Facebook this evening about the top films on Irish Netflix to watch. While scrolling down through it, there plain as day was ‘the van’ and ‘the commitments’ two films I haven’t seen in years and adore.

    Straight to Netflix and search for Van. Nothing. The Van. Nothing.Colm Meaney. Layer Cake. Tried the Commitments. Same.

    Not since I was told as a boy that WWF was fake, or similarly fake as the recently reported story of a red haired, bearded dwarf had tricked 27 women into sleeping with him believing him to be a leprechaun and would be rewarded with a pot of gold have I felt such a sense of betrayal and crushing of innocence. Was genuinely disgusted.

    Thought it might have been an old link but the Irishman was listed. Like how could someone get it so wrong.

    Been watching The Stranger on Netflix this morning. Definitely interesting so far

    Just watched the first episode....very intriguing so far

    Watched uncut gems. Wasn’t for me

    Watched Hinterland again. It was originally filmed 3 times. All Welsh, Welsh/English and the version Netflix have, all English.

    I actually think the bilingual version was better than the all English version. It's not a bad scandi noir type thing, very little levity in it though and think it would have benefited from that. They wrap up the threads quite well in the final series, can't say it's fantastic, but watchable enough and I'd definitely recommend seeking out the Welsh/English version if it ever shows up.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    The whole series inn't on Netflix, is it? I watched some of it on TG4, funnily enough, but I think there was another series that never aired.

    It has all the episodes, (condensing the two parters into one) finishes quite well imo.

    I think I read they were doing a 4th series but it doesn't seem to have happened, so I think that's where I've confused myself.

    We gave it 35 minutes on Fri evening before going to bed. I'm guessing the rest of the movie (which I think was an hour and a half) is similar so probably won't bother going back to it

    It does feel like it wrapped up at the end, I'd happily watch another series though, I think Mali Harries is excellent and isn't on as much as she deserve to be.

    It’s been getting amazing reviews...i felt it was just Adam sandler shouting for the entire thing.

    I think I missed some episodes when I was watching it on TV and got some in the wrong order so I was waiting for it all to be on Netflix to start from the beginning. Must get stuck into it again now I know :D

    A hidden gem this one, watched it all at some point last year and have mentioned it to anyone who will listen. I think Richard Harrington said he'd be open to another season at the time but apparently it's a nightmare to make, because they essentially have to make the same episode three times so it's relying on everyone being available. I think I read somewhere that some of their funding was cut (but don't take that as gospel) so might be a factor.

    But a very enjoyable, well written, very well acted show - if they ever make more I'd be a happy man
