I'm a bit gutted. I'm not a huge fan of allot of new movie releases these days but my local cinema in Inverness were doing re-runs of "classics". They changed managers the other year who must have thought otherwise and frankly I'm really dissapointed in Eden Court for quite a long time now (everyone else back home I know is also). Now that I've started working away again though, you guessed it, they started showing some classics again. Sods law!!!! I haven't seen anything I liked the look of for ages in regular cinemas, so while I'm working in France I was waiting for ages for "Holmes and Watson" to come out. A DIRE movie I hear, but I like both actors, just ironical the release date in France was last on the list in the rest of the world. Lo-and behold, as soon as the release date over here in France and the local cinema just drops it entirely from the screenings now, so I don't even get the chance to see if it was that bad after all!
I subscribed to Netflix since working out here because I can't get British TV and Youtube seems to be pretty rubbish these days unless I want to watch out of focus movies of parrots or cats. I got bored with Netflix it after about a month though. I did finish "Escape From Alcatraz" the other night. I got to the end of the "5th Wave" the other night also, bit dissapointed it turned into a kids movie in the last half. I'm not sure why Netflix is so popular though, there's only about 3 TV series on I would watch.
I think it's quite difficult these days to find a decent movie if you don't like overly intrusive CGI, you respect the original movies and can't contemplate a re-make, or youre not "sympathetic" to some aspects of society. I just can't get into the "marvel" comic style movies unless its "Watchmen" which is a bit dark and long, or the 2 "Hellboy" movies -which I've seen too many times now.
I'm a very difficult person to please when it comes to movies I think! Can anyone recommend anything for me on Netflix out of the "new" movies? I often give up afer 30 mins and rate them "down", but they keep popping up at the top of the recommended lists!
