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

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

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

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)

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
