Orient v Mansfield on loop.

[Long slender neck]

Civil War- the latest Alex Garland film. The title refers to a near future america, however the plot revolves around a group of miserable photographers travelling to get a story. Kirsten Dunst, Pablo Escobar from Narcos and the little girl from Alien Romulus. Its a good cast but thrilling moments are few and far between. Civil War left me cold. 6/10

In ten years time this film will be looked on as a documentary

I liked it. It's not one to watch if you want lots of thrills though.

Civil War

I never caught this at the cinema, so had yo wait for it to come on Prime. I recall it receiving some muted reviews at the time.

Personally, I think it definitely worth a watch. Visually stunning, amazing sound, strong performances, and an annoying teenager whose recklessness gets other people killed.

Don't expect many answers or explanation of what is going on at any point. But just settle in for a film that is different, and captures the chaos of a civil war through the perspective of a press crew. It gets a thumbs-up.

Funboys on iplayer.

Properly offbeat and weird northern Irish comedy. Only 4 episodes but it was wonderful

[StillSpike]

Masters of the Air - from the same gang who did Band of Brothers - and very much "B-o-B-but-in-B17-bombers". Lot of Brit actors doing American accents.

Like it (but not as good as B-o-B)

[Long slender neck]

Get Away- a family take a holiday to a remote swedish island with a cult like population. There's a few edgy gags but despite the comedic chops of Nick Frost and Aisling Bea, this comedy left me cold. 5/10

[Long slender neck]

Companion- A mans robotic female 'companion' goes haywire whilst on hols with a group of friends. It wasnt quite as fun as the trailer suggested it would be, so for that reason i have to say it left me as cold as the robotic lady's innards. Although I would hope for the bf's sake her innards are artificially heated. 6.5/10

[Chicken Dhansak]

Just finished watching The Day of the Jackal. Brilliantly written and Eddie Redmayne is superb in it. The big let down in it is the female lead. With all the actresses available atound they could have cast a more bebievable performer than the one they used for the part. She was awful.

I gave up on this one after about 4 episodes. Badly written and acted by rubbish actors.

My dislike may be traced back to having enjoyed the original so much and the inclusion of the Citreon DS in the filming.

You should have finished the series Max, you can't put out a blanket dismissal after just four episodes.

[Long slender neck]

Yes you can, if its not good after 2 epsidoes, ditch it.

Has anything taken more than the first 2 episodes to become good?

There’s so much content these days it is a waste of time to carry on something you aren’t enjoying. My partner decides after about 15 mins of something. (Or 3 mins for other things)

[Proposition Joe]

'Other things'. I'm sorry, mate.

[Proposition Joe]

As to the question, started The Australian Wars on BBC4. Really interesting about a period of history that's glossed over - well, certainly Over There, anyway.

Eastenders. Am still waiting.

I know, imagine having to do it twice before she decides whether she likes it or not
