    I enjoyed Making A Murderer, it's a rather disturbing story, but they didn't half drag it out.

    There was another Netflix one about a priest who molested kids and killed a nun (probably), called The Keepers and that was also ridiculously drawn out.

    Bloody hell, this excellent thread had drifted to page 4 - pity the club isn't doing similar business to this board! Anyway ...

    Dream House (2011) enjoyed it, but riven with flashback. Couldn't do this one at the cinema as we needed a couple of timeouts to get a brandy-coffee and sort out where we thought we where with the plot ... :confused:

    Unforgiven (1992), an old 'un but a good 'un, directed and starring Clint Eastwood, also starring Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris. Well worth a watch, shows its age at times but overall a great storyline and a classic Western

    A solid 8/10

    Dave Made a Maze.

    Great idea, should have been a great little film. Some of it was really clever but the characters weren't funny enough when they were trying to be and it fell on it's arse in places.

    5/10

    Rewatching Blade Runner tonight (the Final Cut, of course) in preparation for 2049 coming out on Thursday.

    Since the embargo lifted 2049 has had nothing but universal acclaim, a lot of reviews saying it is as good as the original. I'm not going to go that far, but I am hyped. 2049 was my most anticipated of the year and the original is a top 5 film for me, and the fact 2049 has been recieved in a massively positive light is ****ing great news.



    For anyone who hasn't seen them, there are some great shorts to set up things in 2049, here they are:

    Just watched a documentary on Netflix about a bloke getting arrested for a murder and to prove his innocence they have to find footage of him at a Dodgers game
    Amazing short story (40mins)
    Well worth a watch

    It's called Long Shot

    I watched it at work yesterday. He owes his lawyer a big pint. Terrifying to think of the potential consequences if the footage had not been found.

    Blade Runner 2049. Saw it. Visually stunning. Atmospherically stunning. Digital/Virtual Girlfriend - absolutely stunning. Storyline - Captivating. A worthy sequel to the original - yes. Weakest link - the LAPD Chief (she should just have stuck to being President in House of Cards). Strongest link, everyone else - did I mention the blade runner's virtual girlfriend???? Oh, and the dog - man, that is my type of dog. So many good things - naturally it is going to be a box office flop in Amerikay which is fantastic as that is the gold standard imprimatur of a great movie.

    I enjoyed T2 at first, but got bored half way through
    Some nice looks back to the first one, but those were the best bits which was telling
    It was ok but obviously not a patch on the original

    Blade Runner 2049 is film of the year, easily. Maybe even film of the 21st century, but best not to use superlatives like that in case BCC returns.

    A sequel that truly lives up to the masterpiece that is the original. This is going to go down as one of the best sequels ever made.

    **** Dunkirk or Baby Driver.

    I recently saw mother! And Flatliners.

    mother was awful. It felt ok like it was building to something in the first 3/4 then just went ridiculous. Now I know they'll try to add some pretentious meanings to it but that doesn't make it watchable.

    Flatliners was good. A little shallow in that it doesn't delve too deep into anything. Enjoyable though. Never seen the original but my wife said the original was better.

    Blade Runner 2049. I was looking forward to it with equal parts anticipation and trepidation. Blade Runner is in my all time top 2 or 3 movies, maybe even #1. The sequel could either diminish or enhance the legacy. The good news is that it matches or surpasses the first movie is so many ways. I gobsmacked, and plan to go see it again in the next few days.
