The Signal. If you like Sci-Fi then this one's for you. Not sure where the bad reviews came from, I think some people saw Lawrence Fishburne and then didn't realise it was a fairly low budget film (which doesn't impact it in any way).
I avoided this due to the low stars. Maybe give it a look.Started watching Peaky Blinders too-very very good so far!
Also just finished the fourth season of house of cards
Plot spoilers ahead!
I loved the interplay between Conway and Frank, and felt this season was so much better than season 3. The twist where Frank got shot was a real kick which I didn't see coming and that very dark season ending sets stuff up for a potentially very scary season 5

The low budget is fairly evident but at the same time it makes it feel more intimate and personal. Really didn't see where it was heading either. Well worth the time.

Look who's back. Not what I expected and messes with your head a little.
Watched this last night.Wasn't expecting the premise that Hitler wakes up in modern Berlin and is mistaken for a comedian to be much, but I enjoyed it. Some thought provoking stuff in there, along with neat nods to other films like Downfall.
Pleased that they were allowed to film around landmarks such as Brandenburg Gate and to get reactions from real Germans. Much better than insisting it all be hidden away and never discussed.

Agreed. Watched it last week after seeing it recommended here. An interesting ending, and, because it was made in 2014, very topical too.

5/5 for me.
