One of my favourite fillums. The final scene where Jeff Bridges faces Chris Pine just crackles with tension. It's a disgrace that Bridges, Pine, Birmingham and Foster didn't get oscars for that masterpiece.
You might also enjoy Wind River, written by the same bloke, another intensely compelling film to watch.

It's a strange one "Follow that Camel" as you have amongst the highest production values of the series, too talent like Phil Silvers as a guest star and yet it is amongst the worst of the series.

Me too - not quite as bad as I remember to be fair to it
Sonatine - one of Kitano's earliest movies, one of his best as well. Depressed, aging yakuza goes into a lockdown mode in Okinawa's hinterland. Left to his own devices, he wrestles with his men, stages a folklore play, watches fireworks and is generally bored of life. Great humor, even better score and acting, sex and violence make it top 3 yakuza movies ever.

Strictly Ballroom.
full of flashy, crowd pleasing moves.
A very enjoyable Australian romp through the pomposity of ballroom dancing. As good today as it was 20 years ago.

I've never got round to watching that and only recently read the book for the first time

Watched Maleficent last night, not seen it before. Oh those cheekbones <3
Then followed up with the original tomb raider which is still an enjoyable romp and, well, it's very pretty

Midway.
Didn't get that far. Switched off after 10 minutes, absolute rubbish.

The TV version is well worth a watch too. I think they're all great in different ways.

I assume you are referring to the
recent one - I've not seen it but it looked like utter shyte just from the trailers so I gave it the swerve
The 1976 Charlton Heston and Henry Fonda one is very good indeed however

- Lancaster... the little city.
A channel 4 TV movie from 2015 titled Cyberbully and featuring Maisie Williams... quite possibly the best thing I've watched for a long time. Reading the reviews on the wikipedia page, one calls it An Inspector Calls, for the digital age. A worthy 10/10 from me.
Still available to watch on 4OD.

Finally got round to giving The Irishman a go last night, I originally thought of doing two sessions but decided to just crack on with it.
Nice to see a mob film that isn't too full of gore, but it's way too long to hold my attention .
Probably best summed up as being a bit too self indulgent.
6/10.

Scarface. Never seen it before but then there's so many supposedly classic films that, despite working in the industry, I've not seen.
I guess it's very much of it's time. He didn't seem to have a single redeeming feature so, while it was an interesting story, I didn't feel any sort of empathy for anyone. Not sure why it's quite so highly regarded.
