Finally came to the end of the 13 episode 'Over There' DVD boxset last night. I bought it back in 2020 
Part Afghan war diary and part soap opera, it was entertaining for the most part but the guy who played the company sergeant (sergeant godammit I called him) let down the side I thought with his perpetual shouting.
It was interesting but I was glad to get to the last episode so a 3/5 score from me.
Regards,
Jay.

3 episodes in on Season 6 of Black Mirror.
EP #1 was a 1/5
Ep #2 & #3 were better - 4/5
Rewatching No Country For Old Men (5/5) with my son-in-law, who has never seen the film. One of my all time favorite movies.
Also wrapping the Tour De France today.

The Captain on Amazon Prime.
It's a 2917 German language film based on the true story of German Private Willi Herold. In the dying days of WW2 he came across a crashed car which contained the uniform of a highly decorated luftwaffe Captain. Willi took the uniform and passed himself off as the Captain.
He then went on to command a small group of soldiers and committed various war crimes/atrocities.
If you like war movies you'll probably enjoy it. Pretty dark stuff but I really liked it.
5/5

I just finished an Australian show called Mr. Inbetween - it sits somewhere between a dark comedy and a crime drama about a hitman who struggles to balance his work life and personal life, being a single father, and feelings of isolation, grief, and loneliness. The writing feels like it comes from a place of real honesty - there's a uniquely raw and real aspect to it despite the ostensibly formulaic premise (He's a criminal! But he's got feelings!).
Probably a 4/5. It's not exactly groundbreaking stuff in terms of the premise, but is executed excellently on a very small budget and the smaller, contained world it exists in is compelling and feels like you could reach out and touch it. The characters feel like people, not characters.
Have to echo your sentiment - No Country For Old Men is easily a top 5 movie for me. Incredible pacing and editing, it sucks me in like very few movies have.

Call of the Wild (1936). I'm not necessarily a big Clark Gable fan, but this early version is pretty good.
The latest season of What We Do In The Shadows is streaming on HULU and it is every bit as twisted and hilarious as the previous seasons.
5 out of 5, easy.

I missed this one in 2022. The male actor was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, I can see why. I think I saw Jennifer Lawrence, and thought "pass". But, this is a very good movie, 5/5.
If I had seen this trailer I would have absolutely passed on seeing this film. It screams “There’s nothing there” but we’re going to artfully pretend that there is. I despise trailers like this.

Well I would and wouldn't give this a 5 but I am and watch new and repeats of this....it is antiques roadshow
I guess it's the Coen Brothers this week, "Fargo" 5/5. My son-in-law never saw the movie.
Fargo! One of 15-20 flicks I happily rewatch. 5/5 fo' sho'
