    Watched Victoria last night and would highly recommend it. Its about a Spanish student clubbing in Berlin whose meets some Berliners at the end of the night and gets sucked into trouble.

    Its 2 hours 18 minutes long and its one continuous take! Moreover, it works as a film.

    First 30 odd minutes are a little slow, but definitely picks up. Most interesting thing I've seen in a while.

    Mostly in English, with a bit of subtitled German.

    Watched Tramps at the weekend. Two strangers, a man and woman in their early twenties, lose a suitcase that they have to deliver and a relationship forms between them as they search for it. Kind of slight but the two leads have good chemistry between them and it's an enjoyable enough waste of eighty or so minutes.

    Win it All stars Jake Johnson (Nick from New Girl) as Eddie, a hopeless gambler who fritters away a huge sum of money given to him to mind by a thug going into prison for a couple of months. The film follows Eddie's attempts to get the money back while trying to get straight by working for his brother and finding himself in a new relationship. It's a pretty decent movie that I feel is slightly undermined by wrapping itself up to neatly but worth a watch still.

    Nerve stars Emma Roberts and Dave Franco as two strangers playing a game of dare with the aid of a mobile phone app and being forced to accept dares from the people watching initially for cash and for more sinister reasons as the film progresses. Total chewing gum movie but expertly handled and some pretty tense setpieces throughout.

    Watching and really enjoying Inside No. 9 as well - an anthology series from two of the guys behind The League of Gentlemen. Shares the same twisted vibe of TLOG with a heavy nod to Tales of the Unexpected. If you like TLOG, you'll like this and if you haven't watched TLOG - what are you doing? All three seasons are now up on Netflix. Get on it.

    Having watched Tramps last week and Blue Jay at the weekend I was just thinking to myself they'd make a great double bill. One is the beginnings of a relationship, the other the messy afters of a relationship. Both have leads with good chemistry, both are relatively short but sweet, and both are very charming.

    Rewatched Lead Balloon, and still I thought it was really funny, and I'm not normally a big Jack Dee fan. I'd recommend it anyway.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I watched Tramps and didn't really rate it at all. Slow moving and unexciting and the dialogue wasn't entertaining enough to help put up with the snails pace.

    I'd give it 5/10. The girl in it was very good, i'd expect big things from her.

    I've been so engrossed in Mad Men the last few weeks I'd totally forgot this thread had been rebooted.

    Some nice recommendations here, thanks!

    Still haven't figured out why Mad Men is so addictive but I'm glued every evening.

    Watched The Similars, a Mexican science fiction movie set in a bus station on a rainy night just before the Tlatelolco massacre in 1968. It's about 8 people stuck in the station whose faces start to transform one by one until they are all the same. The film is a love letter to Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the Twilight Zone with cinematography and a soundtrack that are perfect for evoking the mood of its influences. If you've watched the Twilight Zone, in particular the movie from the 80s, the reveal won't be a surprise to you (I wager it probably won't be a surprise to anyone) but its a film I'd recommend to anyone that likes those films.

    Tower is well worth a watch, excellent documentary/drama mix about the University of Texas Tower sniper in 1966; really well done with a mix of animation and actual footage, as well as some amazing stories and narration for the survivors.

    Only reason I knew that is because I had an e-mail from Netflix saying it was added.

    Married to the Mob is a weird one. I watched it last week and still can't decide if I like it or not. It's like watching 2 or 3 different films at once. Pfeiffer plays it dead serious while Modine is gurning around scenes like it's a slapstick comedy. The rest of the cast are at various points in between.

    When The Bough Breaks

    It's about post-partum depression and psychosis. Really gets into the heart of the issue. Must be horrible to live with, including wanting to harm your child. Some very sad stories. It's not as as slick as other documentaries, but this is not to take away from it - the participants speak very plainly about their experiences. Well worth checking out if you've an interest in maternal health or anything like that.

    Two movies I watched recently.

    Train to Busan. 2016.
    Excellent zombie flick about a group of people stuck on train with a **** load of zombies, Koreans know how to pull off a zombie film.

    Sex Ed. 2014.
    Maths teacher looking for work takes on a job at teaching teenagers sex education. Not a bad comedy and well worth a watch.

    American Experience: The Blackout, another excellent PBS documentary. This one is about the blackout in New York in 1977 and the socioeconomic background that lead to all sorts of chaos that night, setting the tone for New York for the next decade or so.

    That must have been a very short run in theatres as it only came out this Friday gone... though I've seen this tactic with Netflix before and their original movies...

    Surprised myself. I was going to check it out but probably will just wait until the weekend now :/
