Watching through all the Googlebox's on Netflix and 4od. Best British comedy of the past few years! (Not much competition let's be honest)

Matt Wood

Watched Polar a couple of nights back.

If you like your stylized action films its one for you. I enjoyed it as it was a bit of a change of pace. Plus Matt Lucas is in it which shocked the hell out of me It is undeniably 'Matt Lucas being Matt Lucas' but also something way out of the norm form him I think.

Am about to binge the Resident Evil films now they are all on Amazon

Matt Wood

Watched 1917 monday night. Decent film, some sections a little over-arty but pretty decent watch for anyone who likes a war film.

@ryan-carruthers Great actor for sure. Won't see the likes of him again now

Loved him in Untouchables too but he did sooooo many great roles.

Also some...errmmm...not so great:

@matthew-biggins Thats on my list. Kinda looking forward to that as it seems like something a bit different and I have the idea it will be refreshing to watch.

Almost at the end of Ratched. Great watch so far, Sarah Paulson is brilliant in everything I've seen her in.

@richard-latimer I will have to try those as that is one I never read.

Tommyknockers and IT were great but the endings just didnt match up to the story. Langoliers (sp) was pretty good too.

Liked the film of the Langoliers haha

I used to love Mr King too. Fabulous ideas and story building, just didnt know how to end anything lol

Dark Tower series amazing. Such a shame they fucked up the adaptation.

Not just that but the fact Dark Tower pretty much ran through the majority of his other work on some level. Almost felt like you were in on something.

I loved the Stranger, wasn't sure at first.

I've started reading The Midnight Library which is pretty good, basically it's a story about a library between life and death where you can pull out some books and make some changes to see how your choices turned out or how different ones would have turned out.

Sounds interesting. I very rarely have the patience or enthusiasm to read anymore haha! Used to love reading Stephen King.
