Lot of criticism about this film however in my opinion we need filmmakers who are prepared to break the boundaries in this way.

Somehow Brandon Cronenberg manages to create a very eerie and surreal setting that is pretty unique.

Very smart, scary, sexy and thought provoking but not for the faint hearted.

The basic premise is a young couple go on holiday and meet another couple who come to the resort every be year who show them around. The other woman is a very beautiful temptress who seems harbour a very strong attraction to the husband!!

It's one of those movies that people will either love Or love to hate so worth a watch either way!!

Personally I loved it!!!!

Netflix have some great documentaries and this may be the best of the bunch!

Starting off from the second world war and taking you up to the current situation this is s documentary that moves at just the right pace and never gets boring!!

Most people have a reasonable idea about the main events of the Cold War but this digs a little deeper and gives you the backstory to what is probably the most fascinating piece of modern history!

The film has some brilliant first hand accounts and some brilliant footage of events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Highly recommended!

Frustrated by this one as it tries to cover too much ground and eventually gets to the point when you no longer care!!

Its an interesting story and Malcolm X was surely a great and very inspiring speaker who I guess became almost bigger than the organisation he represented.

I think the film could have been improved without the first hour which covers his early (pre prison life) as not that relevant and only serves to make the point that Malcolm X was a gangster who found Islam when he was in prison.

All in all a it could have been OK if it wasn't so long. Do yourself a favour and watch a documentary instead!
