On an article somewhere I came across Bone Tomahawk so it being a Kurt Russell western, so I thought, I gave it a go last night. WTF?!?!
In a good or bad way? never seen it myself!
It's a good film, but one particular scene, let's just say I am glad I wasn't eating my dinner!
Bone Tomahawk is quality.
A modern classic

Noted that quite a few Gene Hackman films are now free to view on various platforms. On the Hackman thread RBshorty mentioned Hoosiers of which I hadn't really heard of. Not a basketball fan at all but must say I enjoyed it so well worth a watch. The great Dennis Hopper co-stars.

Yeah, Bone Tomahawk is great. The same writer/director also made Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete which are worth checking out if anyone's not seen them.

WAtched Presence last night. I do get annoyed with this camera techique. It's not a jump out of your skin horror but quite good.

Watched The Gorge last night. Was quite fun.
The Gorge just felt like I was watching a platform game and had to google that it wasn't.
Heart Eye's drifted on far too long in places with no real action.
Both are watchable if, like me, you are currently stuck indoors. But they aren't that good.
Council- Heart Eyes is supposed to be a Rom Com/ Horror, You don't usually get a lot of action in Rom Coms.
I want people getting killed regularly in slasher films mate. Not scene after scene of fuck all happening.

Watched The Brutalist at the weekend, Guy Pearce was super in the supporting role but jeez did they not have a cutting room as it seems to go on forever, 7.5/10 though but have plenty of coffee on standby to avoid drifting off
Has a Holocaust connection so for sure will win at the Oscars big time oln Sunday.

OK it's not a recent movie but I'm currently watching Ran, Kurosawa's adaptation of King Lear, what a fantastic feast for the eyes it is, absolutely superb, if you haven't seen it get the 4k Ultra Hd version, you won't be disappointed.

Has Stephen King done anything decent in the last 20 years?
As per Anon's post. Of course James Wan has directed and written Saw, The Conjuring , The Nun and Anabelle etc. Quite a CV.

Dr Sleep, Mr Mercedes, and 11/22/63 were decent books with good adaptions
You took the words right out of my mouth. But he's not as prolific as he was but I guess that's age.

Thanks, I'll check out Dr Sleep. I'd struggle to find time for the other 2 as they're both TV series.
