Well, that was a poor, poor four - at best.

It Follows.

OK, supernatural horror films have never been my thing, not eve remotely, so I should've known better from the off.

Shite (IMHO ;) )

Great series. I've been watching the prequel/spin-off Fear The Walking Dead.

Interesting if you're a fan but the characters aren't a patch on the originals.

cant win em all. tbh my mrs isnt interested in films unless they're 'scary' so if we wanna watch summat together it generally has to be horror. as such ive seen quite a few turkeys! this was one of the better ones! Actually i liked this better than that in fairness.

I concur with the above Babadook recommendation. I'm not much of a horror fan but loved that.

Just watched 'A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence' and can't recommend it enough. It's like a dark, Swedish version of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life as directed by a heavily sedated Wes Anderson. It's beautifully shot with each scene consisting of a single take and no camera movements so your eye naturally gets drawn to different things in the frame and you miss others, so I think it'll definitely warrant repeat viewing.

I feel I need to redeem myself. Just noticed 'Down Terrace' is on iplayer. Ben Wheatley's (kill list, Sightseers) first film. Doesn't get much darker than that!!

It ain't far off! But if you liked kill list you should check it out. It's almost really darkly comical.

I watched 'A Syrian love Story' on BBC4. It was pick of the day for a number of papers and has had a cinema release to arthouses with a lot of acclaim.

Parts of it were very moving, telling the story of a family with two young children who lose their mother because of arrest by Bashar for her opposition activities. And her release, then escape to France, then estrangement from her husband, and finally her decision to leave her family, and return to the struggle. She is now in Turkey and cultural spokesperson for the Syrian opposition in exile. Her family still try to cope with the loss.

It didn't really work for me. The distance between the domestic and political issues - does she actually love her husband or the revolution more - didn't really play out. It felt more like they had grown apart and were never going to stick together anyway, regardless of political tensions.

But still worth seeing to get a strong insight into what conflict does to families. But novel, and engaging, that the husband is the one that cares for the family, and the wife the one that that goes to fight tyranny.

So was Begin Again. Love that film. Even James Corden is good.

Probably a bit warm and fuzzy for you tho Bruce...

I bet those Ukrainian women were glad they'd brought those ludicrous ear defenders.

Scientology: Going clear

A fascinating yet quite disturbing documentary. The gullibility of seemingly intelligent folk still staggers me
