I don't know about the UK, but it doesn't even have a release date in Australia yet. However, considering that it's been far more successful at the box office in the US than anticipated I expect it to get one soon.

unzippy 3,972 Posted September 13 An interesting read: "TV’s streaming model is broken. It’s also not going away.

unzippy 3,972 Posted September 30 Just watched The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Brilliant stuff, as good as the book. Followed with the Swan, also as disturbing as the story was. I'd love to see what Wes Anderson would do with the Fingersmith. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simmo 21,945 Posted September 30 Just watched reptile on Netflix. Basically a who dun it. It's very good, a bit long and you need to concentrate on you will lose the plot. Some good characters. Alicia Silverstone is looking a bit mumsey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last night we watched 'Accused' on Netflix (not the series, the 2023 movie), which was superb and had us on the edge of our seats. Very unnerving and thought provoking - the wife and I were both checking our privacy settings on social media when it had finished! https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/accused Australian Citizen since 2007 | Returned to the UK 2008-2011 | Lived in Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns.

It's a kids movie. Then the Mrs came in and after another 15mins trying to find something we both might like we ended up watching "super intelligence" that's an hour and 45 minutes of my life I won't get back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a tad dismissive but I think I understand. All the nice, well-educated, decent people are Asian, and all the horrible, ignorant people are racist white thugs. That didn't rest easy with me either because vilifying white folks for the purpose of popular entertainment is really getting old. However, when you put that aside it's a very engaging and thought-provoking film. It could've easily been about a man wrongly accused of being a paedophile or a murderer, and it wouldn't have mattered in the slightest what colour his skin was. I also got pressed-ganged into watching Super Intelligence - I just left my modest intelligence at the door. 1 Australian Citizen since 2007 | Returned to the UK 2008-2011 | Lived in Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns.

From what i did watch, i thought the depiction of the hospital and the doctors were testiment to the good that the British Empire brought to these 3rd world countries. I found the subliminal messages within super Intelegence about as subtal as a brick and If I was watching on my own would have turned that off too. I did watch No Place for Old Men last week and thought that was excellent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing that sticks in my mind was the villain's weird modus operandi, which I don't think would've been very practical in reality! I've enjoyed a lot of great movies recently from the late 90s and noughties that I'd missed the first time around. The last of a golden age of movies not to have been ruined by some PC box-ticking agenda. 1 Australian Citizen since 2007 | Returned to the UK 2008-2011 | Lived in Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns.
