Great film; the opening scenes of arriving in a resort are absolutely spot on. There's a (apparently) shit US remake.

Have you seen Arnold's other films? Red Road and Fish Tank are brillWasp. 30 minuter, felt like a play turned into a film. Like a Ken Loach mini, almost.
Also has a young Danny Dyer, in probably the best thing he's ever been in
Just watched Cow. Illuminating. That's us on oat milk from now on.
Will check those out, ta.

Non-recommendation for new crime action comedy The Misfits. A very poor man’s hybrid of Ocean Eleven meets The Italian Job. I guess at least it’s free to watch if you’re already subscribed to Prime so you will only waste 90 minutes of your life.
Don’t know what Tim Roth is doing in it. I guess it’s easy money…

Get the right oat milk and it's far better than milk milk anyway.

There are a lot of those straight to video style films on prime. Tim Roth has popped up a couple of times. There was something I saw called 'the hitman's apprentice' (I think) which was just about passable.

This one might have never been intended for cinema release, but its budget must have been closer to one than to a straight to video job, at least in the traditional sense, before the age of the streaming services. Much of it is filmed on location in Abu Dhabi and it boasts plenty of expensive cars and whatnot. Then again Amazon aren’t exactly broke, and the Abu Dhabi tourism board might have well forked out towards it as well.
I've got tesco's own for now cos it's a quid for a litre carton.

I have not tried Tesco's, but I don't shop there, their own brand stuff is almost universally not to my liking.
I do think it's important to get the right one though, the tastes vary a lot. I thought I hated oat milk but it turns out I only hate some oat milks. My current favourites are minor figures, and the co-op one. Oatly barista tastes ok, but is corporate Blackstone wank. Alpro is no no no.

Round my way only the big co-ops carry it. It's only 80p but one of the best on the market. If it has to be oatly get the barista one.

I just finished it. Good fun. have you watched the film Copshop? It's on Prime as well. Another acton fun fest about rotten bacon.Finished Reacher. I thought it was fucking brilliant- everything any action series can hope to be.

Cool, well thank you for Reacher. I reckoned if you like one you would like the other. Maybe bent cops in shitty little towns will become a sub-genre.Just watched Copshop on your recommendation. Thanks for that! Very enjoyable Saturday evening action film
We enjoyed it.First episode is S2 of Picard has now dropped
ETA It certainly takes a long time to take off, but the business end of the episode is pretty good

The original is over 9 hours long. I didn’t make it all the way.

You've got 5 more hours to go:
Watch Shoah (Second Era) | Prime Video
Claude Lanzmann's monumental chronicle of the Holocaust has been acclaimed by many as the greatest documentary ever made.
www.amazon.co.uk
Blimey. Ta. Will have to watch that then.
Started it last night, cheers Reno and Orang Utan ! Breaking this one down into 3 nights. It's so much to take in, that level of cold callous brutality, almost unbearable to watch.

Excellent, I wasn't sure if we would ever see any more. I never saw anyone ever talking about it.
I'll check it out when I next have prime.
It's a weird one. On one level it's a cheesy situation drama filled with vacuous Hollywood faces, but it transcends that slightly (and even highlights it) with its darkly comic premise. Even though it stays within the boundaries of MOR feel good bouncy TV comedy, it pushes the boundaries a little and doesn't shy away from highlighting, capitalism, consumerism, class and religion.
It's one of the more interesting programs on prime that puts a mild twist on regular comedy or drama (like Kevin can fuck himself or undone).
