Netflix/Amazon/Gaming and Book Recommendations

Not on Netflix or Amazon that I'm aware but just finished a film called 'The Peanut Butter Falcon'. Really uplifting film. It sounded decent and quirky but my expectations were met and exceeded.

Shia Lebouf and Dakota Johnson as well a guy who actually has downs syndrome. He's stuck away in a nursing home as nobody wants him and he dreams of becoming a wrestler and going to this wrestling school he's been watching videos of. One of the residents helps him to escape and I won't ruin the rest. It's brilliant though and real heartwarming stuff!

Watched Hostiles with the mrs last night. Very good, if somewhat predictable. Worth a watch if you have Netflix.

Started watching Barbarians last night while the wife watched Celeb, hmm not to shabby the duping voices were a bit weird mind!

@richard-latimer Definitely, will have to check that out. For me INXS we're an underrated band in this country some of the stuff they released before they made it big in UK with "Kick" was far better.

I'm not a massive fan but Never Tear Us Apart is brilliant. Also the stuff they did on 'The Lost Boys' soundtrack. One of my favourite films from the 80's.

Not on Netflix or Amazon but just finished watching Mystify the documentary about Michael Hutchence. Incredibly sad what happened.

Ryan

That is true, Queen's Gambit is on my list, anybody seen it?

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

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.
