Babylon just dropped on YTS. With Brad Pitt and the delicious Margot Robbie.

"An original epic set in 1920s Los Angeles led by Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Diego Calva, with an ensemble cast including Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li and Jean Smart. A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood."

Black Panther certainly out for a little while, but "Plane" was certainly one that went under the radar - ta for the heads up! :thumb:

I've downloaded, but not watched Bank of Dave. Friends in the UK are raving about it, so I thought I'd share.

Infinity Pool has hit the shelves. Not watched yet but with Mia Goth (fast becoming my favourite horror actress) and Alexander Skarsgård (The Northman) headlining, I'm sure it'll be a good 'un. With Mia in it, it may just be a sick, twisted weird-fest (fine by me) who knows. :wink:

James and Em Foster are enjoying an all-inclusive beach vacation in the fictional island of La Tolqa, when a fatal accident exposes the resort's perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism, reckless violence and surreal horrors

Just going through some reviews (lots of positives, 86% rotten tomatoes and 6.8 IMBD), but it appears my suspicions may be somewhat correct... :wink:

'... That's a good thing, as Infinity Pool is one of the most original, disgusting, hypnotic, and revolting movies in quite a while.'

Very much looking forward to this one after work today. :laugh:

Its a slow starter but worth watching through to the end, nice to have a feelgood movie in tough economic times!

^^^ Really bloody enjoyed this! It's not a niche, twisted movie like some of Lars von Trier or David Lynch's offerings for example but rather geared towards a wider audience while still remaining fairly weird and unsettling.

Original? Totally! Hypnotic? Yes! Disgusting and revolting? In small doses. Keeps you thinking also. 8.5/10 for me (Mia Goth may have affected my rating ever so slightly :D)

Fancy an easy watch feel-good sports film based on a true story? Look no further than Home Team. Some familiar names with Kevin James and Taylor Lautner starring. Rob Schneider also makes a few scenes. Poor reviews all round ( :D ) but don't pay attention to them. It appears most were angry that Sean Payton managed to gloss over a scandal with a family comedy. I really enjoyed it this morning!

'Two years after NFL head coach Sean Payton is suspended, he goes back to his hometown and finds himself reconnecting with his 12-year-old son by coaching his Pop Warner football team.'

Not a new one but I watched this again last night and, after a quick search, it doesn't appear to have been mentioned before. Clown (2014), is certainly in my top twenty horrors, and I definitely recommend it if you haven't already seen it. Directed by Jon Watts of all the recent Spiderman movies, and horror legend Eli Roth on the producers list. I love this one. Very mixed reviews, mind.

'When a hired clown fails to show up at his son's party, Kent decides to wear the clown costume he found in the attic of his house. Horrific things happen when he can not take off the cursed costume'
