I was going to see 1917 this weekend, but the missus has mentioned Parasite instead after seeing the news this morning. My eldest girl saw Parasite on Saturday and thought it was great

Was looking forward to Black Widow, No Time to Die and a couple of other movies coming out.
No Time to Die was pushed out to later in the year due to the current issues.
The new Pixar movie ended up a bomb at the box office due to unfortunate timing.

There’s a few such as the Pixar movie going straight to digital or even movies that are ‘still on”/just released being fast tracked too

Yeah like the Vin Diesel movie Blood Shot. Think that was going to be pulled and brought back after the industry picks up again. There are a few that can are now rentable. A lot of people will be wanting to know why they want to go back to the old system, why can't we rent it from home.
Disney fast tracked Frozen 2 to Disney Plus. No sign of Rise of Skywalker. Not sure if I'd rush to watch it but more intersted as its the first big release since they released their streaming service. A good indication on how long things would of turned around from movie release to Disney Plus.

It's surprising that digital releases in tandem with the cinematic release aren't more common - EDIT: Netflix do it...
It's hard to get out to the cinema when you have small children - and those fucks price gouge the experience. Would happily pay the ticket price to watch from home.
It's also surprising Vin Diesel still has a career.

That might be because Netflix movies are so farking terrible. Usually shite quality IMO.
However, now that I have time to do so their sets of series are very watchable.
Narcos and Narcos Mexico are right up there as a must watch.
Watch Narcos: Mexico | Netflix Official Site
Witness the birth of the Mexican drug war in the 1980s as a gritty new "Narcos" saga chronicles the true story of the Guadalajara cartel's ascent.
Some people don't like that it is mainly in Spanish with subtitles but IMO that just adds to the authenticity. The Germanic base of English loses all the Latin flair and eloquence of Spanish, so having to keep your eyes on the screen is a small price to pay. English parts are in English to balance it anyway.
Also as the plots and Spanish names can be a little difficult to follow Wiki is a great backup as to who they are and where they fit. Most of the characters are real people.
Sorry for a spoiler, but the continued involvement of the CIA and the US State Department on the side of the cartels is just disgusting.

Cool. I will check it out. Amazing how the psychology of organised crime is interesting e.g. The Godfather

Since Sky opened up Movies for the next 3 months I've been more interested in movies on there instead of Netflix.
A lot of older movies like:
Delta Force 1 and 2. Part one was alright.
Lone Wolf Macquade.
The Quest
Lady Bloodfight
House at the end of the Street
Bent - Karl Urban movie
Blitz - Jason Statham.
Also looking forward to watching
They Live - An old Roddy Piper movie I've seen mentioned a lot but have never seen.
Pet Sematary, Planes Traines and Automobiles. Haven't seen both of these for years.
Saving Force 10 from Navarone for when my father can hopefully come up. Used to watch a lot of old war movies with him and I quite liked The Guns of Navarone.

Netflix movies are pretty lame really. Not much on there that most people havent already seen though they do have the odd exclusive gem.
Didnt know SKY had opened up movies. Wonder if that includes Vodafone TV? I cancelled my SKY as soon as the season was suspended.
I'll never watch Pet Sematary. Read the book and it gave me frightening nightmares for weeks. Fuck that!!!

If you like Di Caprio watch (if you haven't already) whats eating Gilbert Grape, he certainly can act.

Netflix movies are not usually any good but their series can be very good.
I have been watching this one:
Surviving Escobar: Alias JJ - Wikipedia
It was very popular in Colombia and is fiction based heavily on actual events and people. Anybody with experience of our prison system would recognise the interplay where the worst paranoid psychopaths tend to rule and showing the management problems in dealing with the situation. The difference is the Colombian economy which is based on drugs so the power of money rules. The first series goes for over 70 episodes and I am in the 40s. Good for binge watching during the lockdown.

Like most of Stephen Kings work it doesn’t translate as well to the screen, nowhere near as disturbing as the book that’s for sure

Haha I'm not scared by Horror movies.
But I can't watch pet Semetary either coz it will remind me of the shits the book gave me.

Great on screen chemistry with the lead and supporting actor.
