Another vote for Leave the World Behind. Thoroughly enjoyed it, I liked the way it slowly cranked up the tension and didn't give you all the answers immediately but made you think a bit. And the character development was good, particularly Mahershala Ali's

Painkiller. It was good but not as good as Dopestick which really covered the same ground about the Oxycontin addiction crisis in the States. The fact that the Sackler family was never arrested and put behind bars is unbelievable. But the FDA and the medical profession didn't exactly cover...
Pale Blue Eye is a very good watch. Stars Christian Bale and a host of other good British actors. Bale is hired to solve an unexplained death at West Point military academy. Set in the early 1800s during winter it is very atmospheric, throw in some Satanists, Edgar Allan Poe and a good twist at...
