NETFLIX RECOMMENDATION!

Sean Baker’s Red Rocket, one of the best films of 2021, has just been added to Netflix. Don’t miss it!

OCCASIONAL FILM RECOMMENDATION.

Out of Time (2003), my favourite Denzel Washington film, is finally available on Amazon Prime. I’ve been waiting years for it to show up on a streaming service.

Horror fans may like to know that The Lodge (2019) has just been added to @NetflixUK. Pretty sure it didn’t get a UK theatrical release, and it definitely deserved one. My review for @NerdlyUK: https://www.nerdly.co.uk/2020/05/12/the-lodge-blu-ray-review-2/

The Top Ten Films of 2023

A list of the best films I saw in 2023, including several films I saw at festivals that won’t be out in the UK until 2024 (e.g. Poor Things, Hit Man etc). Similarly, things like Tár (my favourite film of last year) are on my Best of 2022 list.  However, I’m making an exception for Full Time, as it’s my favourite UK release of this year. Note: La Morsure / Bitten, at number 100, would be in the actual Top Ten (it was the film we voted Best Feature on my Sitges jury), but I don’t think it’s even had…

Day 24: Doug Liman’s Go, both a Christmas movie (technically, at least) and one of the best films of 1999. Now available on Amazon Prime.
