Films

The first was always going to be a slow burner.
Obviously they had to show how he became the Joker.
The character was the movie for me. There was little else to it but the development of the character and Phoenix's performance. He was so good that it was worth seeing, as you say there was very little action though until near the end really. The next film should be even better.
 
Peppermint on Amazon Prime. Good. It‘s a revenge actioner with Jennifer Garner.

Nearly finished Homefront, another actioner with Jason Statham, Winona Ryder and other ‘good’ names.
 
Mystery Alaska......Men with Brooms. Unfortunately....can't find a way to watch them again without paying.....I owned both before moving back to the UK.
 
Watched Joker last night and really liked it. Thought his performance was stunning. Didn't relate it to the Batman element rather than the sad story of a troubled human who gets kicked around once too often.
 
Dirt road to Layfayette
Lovely wee underplayed film about a young Scottish accordion player visiting the Cajun music areas in the south of USA.
I can easily understand why some folk would hate it.;)
 
Finally watched The Imitation Game - Cumberbatch is superb as Alan Turing. Very good film.
