I thought the ending was a bit meh, but pretty much everything leading up to that was really good. Reminded me of movies like Rosemary's Baby and other 60s and 70s goodies.
What DVD / Video did you watch last night? (pt3)

Merry Xmas!
Loads of stuff.
Who Do You Think You Are - Damien Dempsey. A look at the singer's ancestors and the roles they played in Irish history. Fascinating and sad.
Fair City - ropey Dublin soap that hasn't changed in the decades since I last watched it.
Kingsman - The Golden Circle - rubbish follow up to Matthew Vaughn smash.
Big Hero 6 - Disney adaption of obscure Marvel tale. Inflatable robot minder and nerd kids take on Elon Musk. Wonderful animation.
Doctor Who - Twice Upon a Time - Capaldi's last dance as the Doctor. David Bradley does a great job, too. Cracking Xmas ep, marred only by the usual sentimental departure and bloody Clara again.

Spinal Tap. My bother in law had never seen it. Funnily enough my mate Russ who was over last month hadn't either. And neither had seen The Big Lebowski. Whats going on in the world these days?

So many particulars. So many questions.
four episodes of The Gifted
its OK, like an x-men light. Vampire Bill from True Blood plays the dad lol. I think its going somewhere, ep 4 was a bit padding but we'll see. The leader of the Mutant Underground has the 90s cartoon x men theme tune as his ring tone

I'm watching Shock Treatment for, like, the fourth time this week. I found it on YT, so I don't have to bother hooking up my R1 DVD player (t'wasn't available here when I got my DVD from Murica)

Mulholland Drive. Pretty far out, as expected and up there with Lost Highway.

Bayou Blue
heres a synopsis:
'From 1997 to 2006, serial killer Ronald Dominique raped and killed twenty-three men in poverty- stricken Southeastern Louisiana. Difficulties in apprehending Dominique ranged from the underfunding of law enforcement to a lack of family advocacy for the victims, to the general distraction by other catastrophes such as Hurricane Katrina. Bayou Blue meditates on the decay of a community'
the murders etc are grim enough but the poverty, the generational dirt poorness, fcking infuriating. Its easy to forget because of america the shiny and functional being the dress up set for so much of its tv/film output.

Michael Palin in North Korea. C5 effort that's cropped up on YT, which was quite a surprise. Nothing new or in depth, but fascinating all the same.

Leave No Trace by Debra Granik who also made the excellent Winter’s Bone. This is just as good, even if it doesn’t have the hook of being a mystery. It’s about an Iraq vet, who suffers from PTSD, unable of reintegrating into society and who lives off the grid in a forest in Oregon with his teenage daughter. Then the authorities find them. Understated but involving and moving, it’s about when the needs of a damaged person come in conflict with the needs of someone who isn’t. The young actress who plays the girl is a real find.
Plan to watch that soon. Thanks!
Recently watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. What can I say. I thought Seven Psychopaths was shit. Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell & Woody Harrelson are great. Amazing black comedy.
and You Were Never Really Here. Tense, visceral and action packed. Joaquin Phoenix is staggering. Film ended almost before it began. Can't say what it reminded me of without spoiling it.

Oceans 8 . How they pull the heist off is clever , how they pull the film off isn't. Only watched it because Cate Blanchett is in it and I quite liked Oceans Trilogy.

Shock and awe.
Good political drama with plenty of great actors about the one news desk that tried to prove at the time that invading iraq in 2003 was all for the wrong reasons.
Also reading metacritic reviews back it was interesting how most of America’s mainstream press panned this. I wonder why!!

Game Night. Actor who plays Marty in Ozark plays slightly less tense character who with his partner hosts games nights .One games night involves a murder mystery which turns out not to be quite what they were expecting. Hilarious fast pitched comedy in which the humour is far better than the normal slaptick American shite with some clever twists. Most enjoyable.

Netflix exclusive horror / ghost story.
Even worse than I was expecting it to be, and ironically for a shit film, far too short (1 hr 28 mins). There's no time to get into the characters (paper thin as they are), the plot is weirdly paced and the 'reveals' are painfully telegraphed (and make no sense). They've set it in 1986 (Glasgow) but there's no real reason for the time-specific setting besides perhaps sidestepping the mobile phone solution.
Massive waste of some great actors in James Cosmo and Celia Imrie too.
Avoid unless you want to get tipsy and take the piss throughout.
