The Leftovers: Season 3, Episode 2 review

After a slightly unsatisfying first episode where we lost some major characters and took a Lindelof Lost-style leap into the future, episode 2 brings back that real Leftover’s vibe and character centred plot that we’ve come to love – all through the one and only Nora (Carrie Coon).

‘Mute’ – Blade Runner in Berlin?

So way back when Moon came out, I was excited about the talk of director Duncan Jones’s other project in the works: Mute, about a deaf bartender in a futuristic Blade Runneresque Berlin. Jones went on to make Source Code, a very decent sci-fi thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal, and then the over-the-top Hollywood adaptation of video game Warcraft. FINALLY, Jones has returned to his passion project Mute, and who better to kick off his dream project than Netflix.

The Girl on the Train Review

7.5/10

I read somewhere that this is a bad version of Gone Girl. I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. Based on the popular Paula Hawkins book, and directed by Tate Taylor (The Help). The Girl on the Train is a decent psychological thriller with a few twists and turns; some of them predictable, and some of them not. The tension works well, but Emily Blunt. EMILY BLUNT. She is a force to be reckoned with.
