  1. Cocaine Bear [2023]

    An oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converge on a Georgia forest where a huge black bear goes on a murderous rampage after unintentionally ingesting cocaine. This attempt at comedy horror based very loosely on something that actually happened is awful. Strictly for those looking for gross out lowest denominator humor when in a vegetative state of mind.

  2. Flux Gourmet [2022]

    Set at an institute devoted to culinary and alimentary performance, a collective finds themselves embroiled in power struggles, artistic vendettas, and some flatulence. Britain's Peter Strictland directs a fetish-fixated film that imagines a community of artists who turn food and cooking into soundscapes, this is as bizarre and wonderful as some of his other art-house works. Not for all tastes, but a feast for those looking for something weird.

  3. Schwesterlein [2020]

    My Little Sister, the English title, a young woman has bid goodbye to her ambitions as a playwright and the Berlin arts scene to live in Switzerland with her husband, who runs an international school. When her twin brother becomes terminally ill, she returns to Berlin. Excellent German drama and performances done mostly in the vernacular, with some French and English spoken. Strictly for those interested in the genre as a downer for most.

  4. Mayflies [2022 TV Limited Series]

    A friendship forged between two growing lads in a small Scottish town in 1986. One weekend, they make a vow to each other to go at life differently. But then, 30 years on, half a life away, the phone rings with the worst kind of news. Brilliant two part UK TV drama series, great performances, story-line and memorable flashbacks to 80's Britain and some of the Manchester music scene.

  5. Tár [2022]

    Set in the international world of Western classical music, the film centers on Lydia Tár, widely considered one of the greatest living composer-conductors. Brilliant psychological drama, not at all boring as might be ones first impression, where the performances and story-line seem real through masterful story telling. Worth sitting out as its rather long.

  6. The Fabelmans [2022]

    Growing up in post-World War II era Arizona, young Sammy Fabelman aspires to become a filmmaker as he reaches adolescence, but soon discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of films can help him see the truth. Moments of brilliance but an overly long self-indulgent piece of Americana strictly for Spielberg nerds and a bit of a yawn-fest for the rest of us.

  7. Vesper [2022]

    Struggling to survive with her father after the collapse of Earth's ecosystem, 13-year-old Vesper must use her wits, strength and bio-hacking abilities to fight for the future. An original story for sci-fi buffs, obviously low budget effects, visually interesting to watch at times, more arthouse than sci-fi at times. Worth a look.

  8. Without Sin [2022 TV Limited Series]

    Explores the relationship which develops between a grieving mother and the man she believes murdered her daughter. Good UK psychological TV thriller, starts out as a prison reconciliation program which turns into a whodunnit, the lead actors nail it, the ending twist a disappointment but worth seeing.

  9. Triangle Of Sadness [2022]

    A cruise for the super-rich sinks thus leaving survivors, including a fashion model celebrity couple, trapped on an island. A uniquely dark comedic swipe at the rich set in three chapters, fades towards the end but the central scenes on the yacht with the unhinged captain and vomit are hilarious. If you want something different this is worth a look.

  10. I Hate Suzie [2020 TV series]

    Chaotic and funny first season series in 8 episodes follows the ups and downs of a minor TVs star and her family after her phone gets hacked and pictures of her having sex with the producer go viral. Season 2 is just 3 episodes and more manic, highlighting a cleverly made black comedy and lead, but the genre may not fit all tastes! Worth seeing when the mood suits.
