Bone Tomahawk - What a pleasant surprise! Gritty western about four guys trying to rescue their fellow townspeople from cannibal Indians. Kurt Russell is just perfect for the western genre. Don't eat while you watch it though. There are some really gory scenes in it.

Spectre 2: If they had replaced Craig with Brosnan I wouldn't have noticed. Casino Royale remains the best of his four films. Spectre is easily the worst.

This is a must see for everyone. Beautiful pictures, intense and inspiring. Blew me away tbh
:agree:

Beautiful, intense, inspiring. You describe it well. It's a must see. Documentary of the year.
You guys are out of your mind. It's a fine documentary, but really it's just a worse version of Touching the Void. I've seen at least a handful of better documentaries this year.

Aside from it being the actual climbers on that face and not a recreation...
I don't think that it makes as big a difference as it should. It's still relying on voiceover and talking heads to tell the story. But sure, it's an advantage that it's not relying on reconstructions. I just think Touching the Void has a more compelling story and that it's better at building suspense.

Definitely agree there... I just wasn't so much a fan of how it was done. I would actually have preferred a straight adaptation into a film, rather than the hybrid documentary style.
