what Film / TV are you watching RIGHT NOW

[Master Ray]

The Guard. Funny film and one of my best ever. Full of stereotypes and reverse stereotypes being destroyed/enhanced.

Brilliant film.

Wentworth - a modern re-hash of Prisoner Cell Block H.

I love this !

I've probably mentioned this one before, but Animal Kingdom is excellent.  Onto the third series now, it's a remake of a superb Aussie film from a few years back.  It's about a teenage lad whose Mum dies of a drug overdose and gets taken in by his estranged family, who are basically all criminals and gets drawn into a life of crime.  The film was excellent but this new version resets it in LA and takes the story in whole new directions.  Trust me, it's well worth a watch, trailer for the first series here...

Was thinking about 'obtaining it', but I trust your judgement, sir, so I'll give it a swerve.

the host - a 2007 korean "monster" movie. this being one of the few times when you really can take one of the advertising quotes from the cover:
"you'll laugh, you'll gasp, you'll jump, you'll ask hollywood for your money back"
loved it!

Ha, I remember seeing 'The Host' late one night on UK TV, was thinking about going to bed but ended up watching the whole thing!  Really good monster movie.

Tonight, I gave the UK film 'Walk Like A Panther' a go... not a classic, for sure, but I enjoyed it for personal reasons.  It's about some old wrestlers (and a few newbies) who get back in the ring to save their local pub from demolition.  Great cast who are a bit wasted on a script that I would have liked to see a bit funnier and more moving than it actually was, but it's a light enough watch if you're feeling undemanding.  Trailer here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP2dapvPbb4

Those personal reasons?  Loved UK wrestling as a kid (World Of Sport, Saturday afternoons, 4pm, introduced by Dickie Davies?  ) and my beloved Grandad used to take me to see those same wrestlers live at the Crewe Odeon, second Monday of every month, I saw them all!  There used to be a photo of me looking starstruck with Big Daddy, but it got lost many years ago.  Those nights with me Grandad are some of my favourite childhood memories...

If you like animated pictures, deffo give 'Isle Of Dogs' a go.  A very funny and rather odd stop-motion film from Wes Anderson.  Really liked it.  Great vocal cast.  Might be a bit freaky for any little 'uns you might want to show it to, though!  Trailer here...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt__kig8PVU

[Master Ray]

Well worth a watch, GT.

Very nice proposal! I love wes anderson movies and The Fantastic Mr. Fox was brilliant, so this one is a must for me.

The Shallows. Watched it a couple of years ago. Part of me thinks any shark film is gonna be a Jaws rip off. But then its a shark. It swims, breeds and eats. Good film in any case.

[Master Ray]

cthulhu, if you liked Fantastic Mr Fox, you'll love this one. Give it a go.

Bunny, I also thought the Shallows was a surprisingly good horror / thriller.  The girl in it gave a really good performance.

I thought the wrestling was on earlier than that? I have memories of sitting round my nans on a Saturday dinnertime with a bag of chips lol.

Anyhoo. This Big Daddy admiration. Did it shape your looks and style in later life??
