Good luck with that.

Broadchurch S1-3: I'm still looking for a series to properly scratch the hardboiled itch I've developed recently. Perry Mason and Mare of Easttown were good, didn't finish Luther or The Killing. Broadchurch didn't quite scratch it either but I'd say it's the overall highest quality show of the bunch. Great performances all around. I really appreciated how it took its time with development and details most other projects would skim over. I have a newfound appreciation for Tennant, Colman, and Whittaker. Great stuff.

I found Trapped really good, stuck with me like Broadchurch.

It's on Netflix and I see it has a Season 2 now, added to list :)

I'm currently watching Snowpiercer Season 3 and Ozark Season 4
Both kinda hmm, maybe it will get better later in the season. Previous seasons were good.

Crimson Peak

An entertaining and (as per usual from Del Toro) visually sumptuous film that may not be terribly deep but still has enough style and panache to stand above average. Not quite up there with Pan's Labyrinth or Pacific Rim but still a good movie.

Best 2 hours I've spend watching something in a decade, absolutely amazing research and well articulated.

This is quality journalism, stuff that you hardly see anymore nowadays. Best documentary of the decade.

Currently watching The Raid: Redemption from my The Raid Collection Blu-Ray set. Love these movies or hate 'em, one thing nobody can take away from them is they have some of the most badass fights and fight choreography ever put on film, holy shit. The shit they do in these fights, you can't coach that. The plot is pretty cliche with not much in the way of character development, but it moves at a brisk pace and it almost never lets up when it gets to the good stuff. It's basically Saw (same basic deadly game concept) without all the sick (torture) shit.

The Raid 2 is even better with even more badass fights and action, a rarity for sequels.

Great action movies. I've watched a number of Iko Uwais films since and nothing else has really come close, unfortunately. Who hates The Raid movies? Also the first time I've heard them compared to Saw.

It's basically a deadly game/survival type movie, that's where I likened it to Saw. I've also seen the movie Kill 'Em All (which is pretty much the same kind of movie as this) compared to Saw in this way, except with an MMA twist. Of course, that's also where the similarities end.

Just finished watching.. All of Us are Dead.

Brilliant series. Good acting if a bit silly at times (expected as this is an adaptation on a Mangwa) and quite gory. Liked the story though and would definitely watch another season. Probably enjoyed this as much as Sweet Home - another Korean show.

Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) - District Arc (Up to latest ep. 9)

Really liked this one. Lots of good action and animation is immaculate. Initially took me a few goes to get into it as its a slow starter but couldn't help but binge through it when the shit hits the fan.

A few weeks ago I went to see the new Matrix in theatres. Well, it wasn't very enjoyable. And the more I think about it the more I think that it was terrible.
If they kept the idea of the Matrix not being real and Neo just having mental health issues it could have been a pretty good drama. Instead it ended up being a bunch of some of the most awful action sequences I've ever seen with some of the worst camera work and editing. The plot was boring and there were several plotholes one of which so severe that the entire last third of the movie doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The new Smith was boring and unconvincing.
This was the first time ever I wanted to just leave the theatre. Now I wish I did.

Last week I then went to see the new Scream film and it's the exact opposite. I think it's right up there with the original in terms of quality, maybe even a bit better. Fucking great movie. Scary, funny, bloody as hell and genuinely exciting.
Loved every bit of it.
