I binged all 8 episodes or whatever in like 4 days. Can't wait for a 2nd season. Those kids are quite the actors too.
You know that's not binging, right? It's just 2 episodes a day, that's like 1 movie.
But recently saw 'Hell Or High Water'. ****
Great movie, great actors. On the surface it's nothing special, but it's all about the execution. Really liked how stripped of all fluff it was: just 2 bankrobbers, 2 cops and a good script. Written by the guy who wrote Sicario and starring a.o. Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine. Well worth checking out, one of my favorites of this year.
Also: 'The Girl On The Train' ***
Good Hitchockian thriller, that tries a little too hard to be this year's 'Gone Girl', but solid enough. Emily Blunt plays a alcoholic commuter who gets involved in a possible murdercase involving a couple she's been spying on from the train every day. The more she delves into it, the more she starts to doubt her own reality (because, you know, alcoholism), but slowly she starts to unravel the mystery. It's all about Blunt in this movie (first proper lead role I've seen her in) and she more than pulls it off. Great actress.
