Agree. WTF was that all about. Definately a tax bill film. Although for the money that cost i wonder how much the actors seen.

"This film contacins product placement" - Reynolds Aviation Gin is front and centre.

Wonder if this is another Green Lantern for his portfolio.

I enjoyed 6 underground in a kind of Fast and Furious suspend disbelief kind of way

Exactly, it's Michael Bay so it's going to be of a type. Watched post-pub on Saturday and it was untaxing and shiny enough to keep me entertained for two hours or so.

TBH I enjoyed it too. Yup it is by no means a good film - but it's fun and I did enjoy the car chase in the Alfa

The Movies (or something like that)

Great insight to behind the scenes and interviews of those involved making some iconic films. Very well done and very insightful and entertaining.

the underground film was total trash but I quite enjoyed it.
Totally OTT violence, paper thin plot that made little sense, black and white characters, bigt explosions, fights that didn't go on too long (looking at you John Wick 3) and cool cars/planes/guns/gadgets.
The cast were easy on the eye as well.

Hail Satan? The Satanic Temple take on Bible Belt America to promote religious pluralism in this docufilm. Whether it’s tongue in cheek or not, it certainly gets some folk frothing at the gills in the US of A. Worth a look.

Same here. Fun, but for example; the locations grated. I did like the fact they used a Q-porte GTS for the chase at some point. So swings and roundabouts.

Sacred Games. May have been mentioned before but wanted to recommend this series. Is in Hindi with subtitles but don’t let that put you off. It can be a bit difficult to follow sometimes due to flashbacks back and forth . My wife is of Indian origin and enjoys the setting: both Mumbai and Kenya. Series 2 is a continuation of series 1 so have to watch from beginning. Some of the acting/dialogue is a bit weird but the story does move forward and becomes clearer the more you watch. Each episode is about 50 mins so we tend to watch in 3 episode chunks.

Don’t F**k With Cats - Hunting an Internet Killer

Only 3/4 through episode 1 so far but wow, I’m hooked - 3 part docu-series about someone that posted a video online of themselves killing a couple of kittens, and the subsequent online witch hunt by people from all around the world trying to find out who the killer is. An amazing story so far and not even finished episode 1 yet....

I’ve seen the trailer and I don’t think I could watch it. The story is terrible. What he goes on to do is something else.

Jesus, you’re not wrong! Just starting episode 2 and things have escalated somewhat!

EDIT: Just finished all 3 episodes - HOLY S**T!!! That was unbelievable! One hell of a story though, couldn’t stop watching

I'm on episode 2 of the cat program.
This is one of the best programs I've watched in a long time. Proper gripping.
