Hmm, OK I'll try. I'll hold you personally responsible if I die inside again.

Finished Bloodline. Gorgeously shot and fantastically acted. Very pleased it got renewed. I'll be very surprised if Ben Mendelsohn doesn't get a nomination come award season.

This might have already been posted but GOTG is now on Dutch Netflix.

I think I saw a similar post in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thread.

That's my viewing tomorrow night sorted! English subs too!

Watched the first episode of Bloodline last night, really enjoyed it, I thought it was beautifully shot and the acting was great. The end of the episode was a great hook to watch the rest of the season too. My only problem with it so far is that it's hard to get used to Coach from Friday Night Lights saying 'strawberry float'

I really enjoyed the first season, even if it had some big problems, it nailed the tone and Mendelsohn is absolutely brilliant.

Only problem is, as soon as he dies half of my interest in the show vanished. Not sure how a second season is going to sustain interest.

Edge of Tomorrow is on a few Scandinavian regions such as Sweden. Been wanting to watch that for ages.

Hate Scandinavian regions as like South American they don't provide English subs. The wait shall continue. Can't be long till it gets on Dutch or French netflix.

Nice

I only use Netflix US now, i don't know how many of these appear on the UK platform.

I watched The Flu, Korean disaster film in the mould of Hollywood ones, and as polar opposite to Contagion as it could be. That's understated and cold and detached and has sweet eerie music but is so alternative and indie, The Flu delivers large scale chaos that I find more satisfying for the genre it's working in. It's contrived and melodramatic and manipulative but all in the best sense that keeps you engaged, and despite the reviews insisting it has issues with consistency in tone I didn't think so. It's basically like a romantic love film at the beginning to set it up, but that warmth is what I wanted from this, it's a mainstream film with characters at its heart, it's not grueling and dour, and that I only put the film on with the intention to see a bit and if I was bored I'd leave it says a lot for how enjoyable it is. I'd avoided the film for a while because of the reviews. It does become more dramatic but then it would, and I think Korean films get the balance more right than anyone else, they really work in genres and there's a homogenous quality to their films, they're shot in such a familiar way, directors seldom move away from the formula.

And I love that formula, it's Hollywood personality with drama that has the habit of being more moving than I ever expect because of the conviction of the performances, where the quality of acting can never undermine the tension..i don't know f the acting is any good..maybe other people are more susceptible to that, i know it's passionate and that's what matters. I shouldn't like formulaic films as I don't like anything formulaic, but i don't think they do it in a lazy cynical way, it's more that they know what they want from a film and try to deliver it every time. Koreans apparently demand that every film must make them cry by the end, and i don't ever feel like it's an empty hollow attempt at doing that, it feels genuine and heartfelt.

I think The Tower's opening is more saccharine, it's like an advert, the loveliest thing I've seen, and when that film gets nasty it doesn't give a gooseberry fool about people, it's more deliberately jarring, like that was stage 1, this is stage 2, hang on. I think The Flu is more gradual.

Also another Korean blockbuster in the mould of Hollywood films, Pirates, like Pirates of the Carribean but..Korean. I've not seen it yet though.

Camp 14 as well everyone Camp 14. Camp 14. Also there's another one with the rape of Nanking that features some of the most harrowing recollections of violence. Another level of dehumanization which is hard to comprehend.

I couldn't get hold of Michael Mann's Thief so that was good to watch, also I'd not seen Manhunter, that film is so well shot. There's a simple bit with a man walking on the pavement and the camera captures it from below in such a concise clean way. It doesn't waste really any shot in the entire film. It's so easy to watch something that is so economical.

I know I'm way behind the times but I just watched the Bojack Horseman season on Netflix. Absolutely loved it
