How so?
Man kills other manās son. Man follows killer relentlessly. Man kills killer.
It reminded me a bit of āA Man Called Horseā right down to the ripping off of the recovery in the steamy tent scene. Maybe that was what the ābeing born from a dead horseā scene was all about.
I thought it was very good.

Donāt get me wrong, I enjoyed it and itās got a lot going for it.
Donāt know how many on here use a vpn to get e most out of Netflix, but I just watched '71 on the Canadian Netflix. Itās an excellent film starring the always outstanding Jack oāConnell as a squaddie in Northern Ireland getting trapped and injured in a hostile part of Belfast during the height of the violence.
It does a good job keeping a pretty neutral stance on the politics, portraying both parts as having a cause, but being riddled with internal problems and separations. Very tense and well worth watching.
If youāve got kids, for some reason Netherlands Netflix is miles ahead of all the others. Theyāve already got Inside Out, a superb animation that was still on at the cinema last month.
Great practical advice - and there are plenty of VPN solutions out there you can get for very cheap money. Think I pay $40 a year.
Shite that you have to do it, though.
Get Hard
I was not expecting muchā¦ and I was fucking right not to.
Now this is a blast from the past - tidying up old stuff came across old VHSsrecorded from the TV. Found a copy of āSalvadorā. James Woods at his best in what is a tough film to watch but compelling nonetheless. Will try and dig out the old video player and a scart converter and see if it will still play.

Itās not a traditional Hollywood movie. Especially, the narrative isnt a traditional revenge story. Itās more of a cinematic experience, you have to watch it on the big screen.

I do know what you mean and itās a trend with modern directors to ignore story and character based stuff and focus on this visual experience. Gravity was lauded, rightly. But at the same time itās almost like a theme park ride.
Not a film, but Iāve recently watched Oliver Stoneās Untold History of the United States. Superb documentary series, which not only shows the big turning points of the USā post-war history, but also shows how interested Stone has been in the subject throughout. His entire career has been about documenting that period in movie form; Salvador is one of the many films from his own career that he is able to use.
Watched x+y last night and really enjoyed it.
Itās a UK production (BBC funded I think) that follows an autistic boyās dream to compete in the Mathsā Olympiad.
Some wonderful young actors playing the parts of kids on the autistic spectrum, and Rafe Spall is superb as the depressed, MS-suffering teacher who tries to inspire the young lad.
You have to watch āRoomā SaintBletch ā¦ Jacob Tremblay is just his character. Just an amazing performance. I really canāt recommend too much.
Bree Larson should win best actress oscar. I never know if its Bree or Brie? Or my love of soft french cheese gets in the way.
I watched Ex Machina and enjoyed it.
Wow, how much fun is Kingsman? (On our movie channel last night)
It even takes the piss out of itself forbeing a parody of early James Bond films, and Samuel L Jackson with a lispā¦ classic
In fact it probably is as close to what JB might have become IF Jason Bourne hadnāt turned up (and yes, loved that little call the dog JB joke as well) or possibly how an Austin Powers movie could have been if Mike Myers didnāt overactā¦
Very well worth watching over a TV dinner, and the Land of Hope & Glory scene has to be up there amongst movie tasteless bad joke cartoon comedy grossness classics.
āIf you save the world you can *&^& my assholeā may not have been EXACTLY what the Swedish Princess said, but it has to go down as one of the best misheard lines in a movie.
Great old fashioned tosh that entertained for almost two hours.
I watched Joy yesterday. Not my sort of movie but very well acted and put together.
Fuck Sake DP, read back a couple of pages, Kingsmen has been done already, in fact you could have cribbed some of our comments line for line 
Watched John Wick last night, dark and brooding Keanu Reeves does Matrix in real life with less dialogue to get in his way.
Cameo from Ian McShane made the film for me.
Forgot to say in John Wick the chap who plays the weasly and pathetic Reek in GoT plays a character who is weasley and pathetic, talk about type cast.
