    Split is probably Shyamalan's best film since those early days of hype; it was a film where his eccentricities worked for the feature, not against it. A total piece of borderline exploitation trash that made me think Shyamalan might have finally found comfort at his level - then píssed it all away with that awful follow-up, Glass. Saw a trailer for his new feature, "Old" and it looks like Split was ultimately the exception that proves the rule.

    Glass is not on Netflix, I take it? I'm intrigued.

    I watched Split last night. I enjoyed the performances more than the story, and the story wasn't all bad. The cast were great, I must say.

    Glass is absolutely terrible. Don't bother.

    Don't be; it's awful to the point I'd challenge anyone to find a good thing to say about it. Shyamalan back to Last Airbender worst; a director who frequently has characters not see things because they're out of frame :rolleyes: The finale and the big superpowers showdown is one of the limpest, anticlimactic, most pathetic powered fights I've seen committed to film. While our hero
    dies, drowning in a puddle
    .

    Do something better with 2 hours; pair socks, or watch a better off-brand Hero film like .. I dunno, Mystery Men :D

    I watched Fast and Furious: Hobbs and Shaw over the weekend - I never really do this but I ended up watching it over 2 nights as it's a bit too long for this type of movie. It is what it is I suppose - they have moved fully into the superhero realm at this stage with the 2 leads having Captain America type strength and the villain basically being a version of Dr. Octopus or some other lab created maniac. The story is a familiar one - a deadly virus threatens to wipe out most of humankind so two former enemies must put aside their differences to save the world :rolleyes: The Rock and Jason Statham have plenty of charisma and work well together in this buddy film but overall it's a pretty forgettable, paint by numbers, brain-dead action/comedy movie. 4/10.

    Its dreadful and I'd be a big fan of FF films. All the elements were there for a good action movie but it just dragged and the dialogue was so poor. Elba another actor I like was so weak in it.

    I found it over hyped. Not on Netflix now , but keep an eye out for other Wuxia movies like Hero (2002 , Jet Li) and House of Flying Daggers , and when you've watched enough Wuxia that you know the rules , treat yourself to Kung Fu Hustle


    Red Cliff is another film worth watching if it turns up.

    Avoid 47 Ronin.

    Red Cliff is two movies and that is only way to see it. So much good stuff lost when they cut it done to one film.

    One of my all time favourite movies. I've watched it too many times though. :D

    Another brilliant one is The Admiral: roaring currents - Korean movie. It's shocking how good it is. Not sure if it's on Netflix though.

    Hero is amazing, probably my favourite of the lot. Haven't seen it in years though, doesn't seem to be on any streaming platforms, unfortunately. I remember there was some buzz about it being Chinese govt propaganda or something about Zhang Yi Mou (the director) I can't remember but I doubt the visuals and sequences would age much. It's a truly beautiful film.

    I have to check out House of Flying Daggers!

    One of his more recent ones is on Netflix, called Shadow. Thought it was decent enough though not as good as Hero or House of Flying Daggers, great visuals again though.

    Shaun the Sheep sounds like it's a major change from the tv series. 😮

    Finished Katla- Icelandic mystery series with an "is it science or supernatural" chain of events. Slow, but very intriguing. Despite the constant grim meteorological background, a very enjoyable show.
