  1. The Salvation (2014)

     

    IMDB: "In 1870s America, a peaceful American settler kills his family's murderer which unleashes the fury of a notorious gang leader. His cowardly fellow townspeople then betray him, forcing him to hunt down the outlaws alone."

     

    If you like the Western/Cowboy genre, as I do, then you should really like this. It's a bit different though, which is a good thing.

     

    Eric Cantona is in it, but it would have made no difference if he wasn't!

  2. God's Pocket (2014)

     

    IMDB - "When Mickey's crazy step-son Leon is killed in a construction 'accident', nobody in the working class neighborhood of God's Pocket is sorry he's gone. Mickey tries to bury the bad news with the body, but when the boy's mother demands the truth, Mickey finds himself stuck in a life-and-death struggle between a body he can't bury, a wife he can't please and a debt he can't pay."

     

    This is a little gem of a movie. I watched it last week on a flight from Dubai, but I've downloaded it since and the airline version is heavily censored, particularly for language. So will have to watch it again, which I would have done anyway.

     

    Starring the late great (must have been one of his last films) Philip Seymour Hoffman and another favourite actor of mine, John Turturro.

  3. Not a movie but a TV Series Life on Mars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_Mars_(UK_TV_series)

     

    First broadcast about 8 years ago decided to give it a look see again just watched the first 2 episodes from Series one this evening, not a lot else to do in rural Vietnam.

     

    Its about a 2006 DCI Policeman who is involved in a Road Traffic Accident and is in a coma back in 1973 Manchester, now 1973 Manchester is my childhood and it is as exactly as I remember it, warts and all.

     

    The best part is the Music, Bowie, BOC, Uriah Heep, Purple, Wings, Cream, Floyd, Free, Stones etc etc, Real Music IMHO.

     

    Life on Mars is excellent, as is the music.

     

    The follow up, Ashes to Ashes, is meant to be very good as well.
