We watched Nomadland on Disney plus. It’s just weird. Oscar winning movies usually are.

What did you find weird about it? I thought it was amazing and sort of crossed over between movie and documentary.

Salting the Battlefield was my favourite of the 3, more “spy” elements

..and I watched Salting the Battlefield last week. [what a great title]
I wondered how the trilogy would end..........very clever.
Thanks for the heads up for the other two James. I did not realise it was a trilogy.

It's an interesting film. Odd, even. Not heavily structured (though it does end up with a closure of sorts), so some might find it unsatisfying.
It is also in no hurry to apportion blame/judgement on why these things happen, either at the macro or personal level. I guess in doing so it encourages the audience to form its own opinions and to wonder how they might respond in similar circumstances.
It's impressive to look at. I wonder if watching it on a big screen would work better than a wide telly?
Randy (NLU, so a golfing tangent), found the protagonist deeply unsympathetic, and while I understand why I wasn't quite with him on that. She just seemed (unsurprisingly) troubled.

Nothing really happens and at the end of the movie we are just at the same point we were at the start of it.

I Care a Lot (Amazon Prime). Rosamund Pike as a shyster making a fortune ripping off old folk who runs foul of Russian gangsters.
Really enjoyed this. Perfect for a wet bank holiday afternoon.

You should see the other two in the series. Must watch them in the right sequence.

Yep, watched in order, and finished Salting the Battlefield yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed all three.

We watched it as well. To me, it felt like they had cut a lot of pieces out of the film, as it seemed very dis-jointed & jumped about, so the story didn't make a great deal of sense

Also watched Midnight Special - worth a watch imo. It sort of switches between one genre to another part way through and doesn't end up where you think it would go at the start.

Another one here who watched Love and Monsters. Totally agree to the similarities to Zombieland almost to the extent that they took the basis of the same characters and just re-cast them with cheaper options. Still, a decent enough bank holiday watch.

Without Remorse on Amazon Price. Good in places, not so in others.

That Eurovision film was actually pretty funny. Good performance from Rachel McAdams I thought. I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not but Pierce Brosnan's wildly fluctuating accent was hilarious.

A few posts about ants elsewhere had me searching the internet for some childhood memories, and then the roku box - resulting in watching:

Honest Thief on Amazon Prime. Liam Neeson doing a toned down Taken movie. Not bad at all.

Sound Of Metal, wow what a film ?
No car chases, no shootouts, no silly super hero stuff, just a snapshot into a period in someone's life, brilliant.
