Thanks for the recommendation, good film and i would agree with your score.
Its the second good Korean film i have watched in the past couple of weeks.

There a Part 2 as well that you might want to check out.
I also loved this. Proper horror, not modern nonsense that relies on jump scares for effect. (Although there is one fantastic one
). Proper sense of dread throughout. Definitely must see at the cinema, the experience will definitely be dulled at home - although that could be said for all films imo.We just finished watching Fair Play. 6/10 for me. I was pleasantly surprised. Very engaging, nice drama. I think the trailers undersold it a little as an “erotic thriller”.

Scarface 9/10. I thought I'd watched it before but had actually only ever seen the most famous scene. Really great movie!

Nosferatu 7/10
Stunning cinematography, good performances and very creepy. Pacing a little iffy though.

Synchronicity - 6/10 - time travelling recreational drug kills people, not bad.
The Artifice Girl - young female AI robot entraps perverts, I usually like sci fi / AI movies but having watched the first 30 minutes which was situated entirely in a small dark cramped room I turned it off, I like to see more than the inside of such a room when watching movies.

Man of Honour
Magic Mike (2012)
Unsurprisingly, chosen by my wife. But even she said it was pretty boring. Outside of the dancing segments, not a whole lot happens and what does, isn't particularly dramatic or funny. Quite how you squeeze two sequels out of this is a mystery. I actually thought Mathew McConaughey's character was more interesting and would've preferred the story centre around him.

Carry-on on netflix. Was ok, story was a bit as expected as in you know what was going to happen next but alright watch. The Christmas music was not required.
Oooh, matron!
Korean films are generally my favourite in world cinema.

I was thinking that as well, as there's been a few mentions of Carry-On in this thread, and I was like which Carry-On film did they mean?

The Mask 10/10 Was on tv just now. I've seen it several times ever since it first came out in the 1990s and it's still as hilarious as ever with many proper laugh out loud moments. Jim Carrey at his most brilliant.

And it has the best ever introduction to a character, sorry Omar.
Cameron Diaz?

Yeah can't fault the Mask! First saw it on 1995 on VHS, on TV a few times and got it on DVD. So much slapstick humour which has aged well. Funniest moment for me is when the dog gets hold of the mask and goes ape

It was alright albeit very predictable
We watched some Michael McIntyre show. Some funny parts, I just don't know if I like his style of comedy. Funny thing is that I've seen him twice in concert lol
