Went to see a selection of films from the Banff Mountain Film Festival last night [edit: this was last year now].
The absolute standout, and one of the best films I've seen in a long, long time was Unbranded.
Another plug for Unbranded as I re-watched it last night. Excellent film. Longer than the Banff edit which gave some elements a different hue.
But highly recommend this.

The OA.
It's got Brit Marling in it (Another Earth, Sound of my voice) playing as Brit Marlin always plays, which is fine- I like Brit Marlin. It's really good anyway, will keep you guessing for a while. Heavy an emotional though, sad in parts, very intriguing, excellent charatcers and now with 5 percent magical realism... or is it?

We watched The Hundred Foot Journey today, which is the perfect Sunday afternoon film.
An Indian family sets up a curry house in a French village in the 70s, and goes into competition with the only other restaurant in town, a Michelin starred French joint, owned by Helen Mirren.
Good fun.

Watched that with the Pixie last month. I really like Brit Marling and enjoyed it, but all of her stuff is of a piece.
Another Earth is my favourite of hers.

It's interesting but I found the end a bit of a letdown tbh. Not sure if I'll bother with S2.

Just watched this, very good. No wonder NYC was such a bad place when the cops were acting so badly!

Yipchaa!
Watched it a while ago and also thought it gave a fascinating insight into the culture. The idea of what a "good cop" is was troubling, to say the least...

I'm amazed that he "only" got 13 years for doing what he did - especially when they were talking about a RICO case and 25 years and up was mentioned - I suppose going before the commission might have helped and in a perverse way I did "admire" him for not taking anyone with him - unlike his "partner" who turned on him

That the RICO/25 years would have kicked in if he'd kidnapped that lady at the end? The fact that he bottled it mean't it didn't go that far.

You might be right - but it was damned fine watching though

Just finished that one . Absolutely brilliant , would recommend anyone watches it . Even though it's a documentary you have to keep reminding yourself they're real people and it's non fiction . These real individuals make the on screen personas in the likes of Goodfellas seem totally bland . Really larger than life , and quite insane . The wives too . It's an absolutely insane tale and told brilliantly . Never bored for an instant watching it . Top notch stuff I could watch again .

Just discovered that if you scroll up from your start point you get the search function. All this time I've been scrolling down through endless categories to reach it.
That's one of the reasons I thought the thing was overwhelming and difficult to use!

Started watching this. There's some dodginess, but I think it's explained by the plot rather than a byproduct of the writers' prejudices (to be reassessed). But oh my word it just got horrific in a way I wasn't expecting.

Okay, so I'm up to E4 - nothing stupendous but certainly very watchable, some decent performances and all.

Watched all six series. They're all enjoyable. I would put the first series amongst the best but stick to it. Jessica Lange is brilliant in the ones she appears in.
The one about the freak show (4?) is great.
