Probably been done to death, but I have just watched a great war film, The Forgotten Battle on Netflix.
We just watched The Ballad of Buster Scruggs the other night, and reallyt enjoyed it. It's got a bit of everything, and a real refreshing change to most of the generic formulaic crap that's out. I can't believe I didn't watch it sooner. Anyone that's unaware, it's 6 different short stories, so if you don't like the first one (but who wouldn't, it's great?), stick with it and see if you like the others.
I really enjoyed it, a few of them really stuck in my mind. I especially liked the gold miner and the one with Liam Neeson and Harry Melling, I'm a big fan of that kind of dark humour and the acting from Melling was a masterclass. As you say stick with it as they're all different, although the first one is probably the one that has the least similar tone to the others.
Just finished A Cure for Wellness, I'd seen it before but watched it again with the wife and enjoyed it both times. Similar sort of genre as Shutter Island, not the same by any means, it's more of a gothic horror, and probably not as good on paper but personally I prefer it.
