Think I only got up to the 2nd or possibly 3rd in the franchise, so guess there's a lot of catching up to do!! This one certainly appears to be an enjoyable/decent action movie....

One night, two killers (Dylan O'Brien, Johnny Flynn) knock on his door in need of a favor - And Leonard is thrust onto the board in a deadly game of deception and murder.

Shortish and IMO very sweet, starring the splendid Mark Rylance, not a household name, but he deserves to be.
This one held my attention for the storyline and the brilliant acting of Mark Rylance(Oscar worthy IMO) :cheers:

Probably the best movie I've seen this year, apart from Don't Look Up.. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I've just watched 'Dark Highlands' from 2018. An hour and a half with only 5 words spoken:
"That is beautiful" (admiring a painting)
"Asshole!"
"Water"
Despite the total lack of dialogue and only 2 main characters, I found it surprisingly engrossing.

"A Japanese artist visits the Scottish Highlands to paint but becomes the target of a sadistic killer. Alone, suffering from exposure and hunted, he must find a way to survive."



It's on YTS.

Suspect it won't be on Netty in Thailand until maybe July

But hopefully someone in UK/USA might accidentally 'copy' the file onto PB/LT Image

The Good Liar 2019

A British film with an excellent, if relatively elderly, cast headed by Ian McKellen, Helen Mirren and Jim Carter. An intriguing storyline that kept me interested. Highly recommended. I watched it on Amazon Prime, but I'm sure it will be available on all the usual sites.

A con man makes a wealthy British widow his next target but what begins as a run-of-the-mill job turns into a high-stakes game when startling facts come to light.

All the Harry Potters and Fantastic Beasts movies to date have mostly been steaming piles of crap so I didn't hold out much hope for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. But to my surpri—

Nah, it's crap. :wink:

Perfect, crisp copies available on Pirate Bay for those interested in that guff.
