Raw [2016] Now out on HD torrent, a visually graphic and memorable French/Belgian made horror drama of coming of age cannibalism!

Free Fire [2016] Out on HD rip now, an action comedy set in the 70s with a feel of the Tarantinos about it that starts well and turns into an hour plus long non-stop shoot out in a warehouse that if you are not in the mood for hour long shoot outs could become tiresome. Perhaps the only time I will enjoy listening to John Denver.

Mr Turner [2014] Masterful take of the painters latter years that keeps the attention over two and a half hours with a great lead performance.

The Water Diviner [2014] A hit and miss cliched story based on true events of an Australian farmer searching for his sons in Gallipoli. Moves between gory war flashbacks, mushy love scenes, Disney style swashbuckling and a bloke who knows how to find water.

Trainspotting [1996] T2 Trainspotting [2017] T2 available online in HD now. I watched the original again for first time in 20 years, which will never be beat. The followup worth watching and not bad for a sequel but more style than raw emotion of the original.

Queen Of The Desert [2017] The true story of Getrude Bell made by Werner Herzog sounded so promising but is just a snore fest. Watched it on Kodi Exodus.

The Levelling [2017] Out on torrent. A brilliant drama set on a Somerset farm after the 2014 floods when an estranged daughter returns for her younger brother’s death and meets the father once more.

Macbeth [2015] Shakespeare’s tale gets a new visually exciting reworking again in the Scottish highlands with the bards prose not too difficult to fathom. Worth watching.

Mindhorn [2017] Wacky B movie out on torrent Netflix rip made in the Isle Of Man that has moments of hilarity in a non stop run of gags.

Breaking News: There's been an increase in the number of people getting injured from preparing avocados. .. and that's just for starters.

Ethel & Ernest [2016] Hand drawn animated movie available on torrent covering two ordinary Londoners lives throughout the twentieth century. Older Brits will warm to it and its attention to detail.

Prometheus [2012] Never watched it when it came out as I don't like sequel/prequels much, but as there's another new one out now (Alien: Covenant) thought I would see what all the fuss was about. Stylish if dull Alien follow up with Charlize "why l would fly myself half a billion miles from every man on Earth if l wanted to get laid" Theron.

Time Out Of Mind [2014] Realistically made story of a homeless Manhattan man played by a big movie star and his efforts to reengage with his estranged daughter.

It's on Kodi Exodus as well with Thai poster image, but if you click on the movie it just plays the Japanese flick.

Carol [2015] A slick NY city 1950's era book adaptation of a lesbian affair with a married woman. Nice tits.

The Walk [2015] Designed for best viewing in a large 3D IMAX immersive screen, which I couldn't do, left me preferring the original documentary of same story Man On Wire [2008] which is more real without the fake accents and CGI. Not bad tho!

Inherent Vice [2014] Same director as for “There Will Be Bloodâ€, another book adaptation set in 1970 USA with some interesting drug filled scenes in an overly long private investigator kidnap comedy plot that is hard to follow at times.

The Survivalist [2015] Wonderfully gripping low budget drama about the price of food, sex and life in a post apocalypse world. Worth watching.

Knight Of The Cups [2015] Terrence Malick makes some weird sh!t and that's a good thing, but this movie is barely a movie, more a string of nice images strung together with some well known actors improvising throughout. A waste of time for some.

Florence Foster Jenkins [2016] Well polished formulaic historical comedy drama about the singer who could not sing.
