Sicario was very good I thought, nicely done and well acted, you felt you were in the dark as much as Kate.

A nice afternoon filler on Netflix is X+Y, a little nugget of a movie.

Thanks for that recommendation, Dinny. I watched it and thought it was excellent. So much more satisfying to find a film like this than sitting through the latest formulaic Hollywood blockbuster.

I also watched X+Y over the break and enjoyed it immensely.

Really enjoyed Sicario alright.

A good indie horror movie is 'It follows' - it's on Netflix but you might have to use a VPN or unblockus to access it.

Anyone seen the Hateful 8 yet??

I was very disappointed with it!!

Why would you be disapointed his other recent efforts have been muck, Django was awfull and inglorious basterds had an amazing opening scene followed by 2 and half hours of utter nonsense but still every reviewer gives his films 9/10 just because its Tarantino.

Django was a tremendously entertaining movie, basterds was gritty and at times sublime, especially the first forty five minutes.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Yea I liked that show- a little bit more tongue in cheek horror is "You're Next" - the opening credits/scene is nicely done.

Another enjoyable almost leisurely movie on Netflix is Slow West - it's short less than 90 mins but some strong performances interesting dialogue and some memorable scenes. And some impressive cinematography if that is your thing.

The Hunter starring Willem Dafoe on Netflix was worth a watch.

Watched it the other week, not only has it got old, I now wonder did I ever laugh at it.

The Revenant is fantastic - definitely one to watch in the cinema and not on a crappy stream / torrent

I found it visually stunning but the story a bit meh. Was too slow.

Listened to podcast recently commemorating 20 years since the release of Heat so went and watched it again last night. Hasn't really aged at all and the bank scene still looks and sounds absolutely incredible. One of my favourite ever films.
