Netflix recommendations

[catinthehat]

Okja - has Tilda Swinton in it. I have only watched half of it as I was getting sleepy and wanted to be fully awake for it but so far excellent. A couple of brilliant moments so far - the contrast between the rural and urban setting slaps you in the face then later in a brawl they play a very interesting soundtrack (I wont spoiler it as it is a great moment). It seems a bit like a non animated Spirited Away. I kept thinking I wished I was still teaching as this would be a brilliant candidate for a film analysis class. Please dont let the second half be a let down.

I just watched Okja and absolutely loved it

ETA it also has Paul Dano and the wonderful Shirley Henderson - 2 more excellent reasons to watch!

Watching the first episode of Glow. Pretty good so far

 

[T & P]

Update after ep. 2. Yep, pretty fucking funny and enjoyable, even if some of it reaches into Family Guy levels of distasteful humour (which never bothered me anyway). Highly recommended

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Yep - I'm up to ep5 and loving Glow

 

[The Boy]

Thirded for glow. Finished eps 1 & 2 yesterday and enjoying it.

 

[chilango]

American Anarchist.

Curious documentary with/about the author of The Anarchist Cookbook.

 

[pengaleng]

just started watching 'asian provocateur'

 

[Nanker Phelge]

My Netflix account was hacked....checked viewing history and there was tons of kids film watched over the last week or so.

Bit nawty innit...

 

[chandlerp]

I've had that. Somebody watching from Chile.

Could that it potentially cost any money to the account holder?

No. It just fucks up the suggestions.

 

[The Boy]

Finished this and loved it. But then Netflix suggested i watch a 2012 documentary about a 1980s women's wrestling production called GLOW.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Could that it potentially cost any money to the account holder?

Nah....just ended up with loads of half watched cartoons in my continue watching list...

There's a disconnect all devices button, so I clicked that then changed password....

 

[cathal marcs]

I have just finished watching the Keepers, a documentary series about a nun murdered back in the 60s. I found it disturbing, frightening, and at the same time inspiring due to the fact that 50 years later there are still people fighting for justice.

 

[DexterTCN]

Castlevania. A four part animation reminiscent of anime. 20 odd minutes each.

It's ok...however if it had started where it ended it would have been much better.

This is not so much a recommendation as is a warning: if you come across a film called Stasis, avoid at all costs. It is one of the most dire and worst acted movies I've ever had the misfortune of watching. Truly appalling.

It was pretty poo...

Just finished Top of the Lake. Been meaning to get round to it, but Mrs la Rouge never wanted to watch it, having read about the subject matter. So I had to wait until I could get a run at it by myself.

I thought it was very good.

 

[Casually Red]

Watched that American anarchist the other week . Was interesting . Also that one about that despicable twat John McAfee , Gringo . A truly rank individual . Well done for exposing him .

Currently watching Salem . Started getting into it . Not as good as True Blood obviously but it's a decent enough offering .

 

[DaveCinzano]

Season 4 of Rake is up now

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Searching For Sugarman.

Excellent investigative music documentary about an underdog American singer from the 70s who bombed at home but was massive in South Africa.

Watched it a few years ago, then spent a while listening to his songs in my car. He could have been a Bob Dylan, and I like his voice better. Extraordinary story, stayed with me for a long time.

 

[girasol]

Double post

 

[Casually Red]

I'm well into Salem now . It's well good . Some absolutely mad stuff going on .

Eta Marilyn Manson plays a well weird character in it. Just copped to that .

 

[moonsi til]

Started 'Ozark', good so far and just 2 episodes.

I'm going to start watching that one after I've finished Salem

 

[DexterTCN]

Spy is available now. It's very funny.

 

[DaveCinzano]

ETA it also has Paul Dano

I don't know why but I always think that's the name of the guy who played Jambo in Hollyoaks

Thankfully, I don't know who that is.
