A hard watch if its the Edgar Alan Poe stuff with Willem Defoe a good actor, but a very dark story, for a lighthouse.
 
Watched Doctor Sleep the other night which is a sequel to The Shining. have to say that I quite enjoyed it after not expecting to.
 
Got recommended
The hunt
Watched the first 5 minuets then delegated
The Hunt, is that the Danish film with the bloke as a teaching assistant. If it is, it's a masterpiece but f**in hard hitting and so clever how society can so quickly dissolve.
 
Just watching the Jack Ryan thing on Amazon, its not too bad remember reading some of the books a while ago.

Don’t know mate
There were on a plane and a drunk had his eye poked out
Never watched the rest
 
No12 is on Netflix, true story WW2 set in Norway, read the book twice before seeing the film, human endurance is a wonderful thing if you've got it in your makeup, well worth a watch, bloody cold mind in all that snow.
That's called 'The 12th Man'. Yeah I was freezing just watching that film, how they got through that in real life is beyond me. I can't even crunch an ice cube in my mouth without it hurting <laugh>
 
Should be a good documentary on bbc4 tonight, a storyville on DB Cooper the bloke who hijacked a jet plane in America then parachuted out of it with a shed load of money never to be seen again.
 
We managed 40 minutes of Lighthouse and we'll never get that time back, sad really bit like watching the lads at the minute.

For that experience, of total painful soul destroying despair, I recommend a black and white film I watched last night "Journeys End".
 
I normally enjoy "out there" stuff, but what I can't get away with is this new "is it or isn't it real". I think film makers are getting lazy, these days you don't really have to explain odd or "is that it?" endings. These days some directors just leave it to fan theory on the internet. Fight Club was genius in 1999, loads of "wtf" moments throughout, but explained nicely. Similar to the Sopranos, I loved that, but couldn't stand the episodes where Tony was out of it.
