Army of the dead (Netflix)

I don't know why but it's taken me a while to get psyched to sit down and watch Bohemian Rhapsody. What a film. I ended up playing Queen's greatest hits for days afterwards.
Nomadland is cracking. Highly recommend a watch.
Moneyball on Netflix, a movie about baseball and data analysis. This sounds unutterably dull, but in fact it's a study of motivation, and triumph of an idea over pure financial muscle. Recommended.

I thought he was great in Fury too, though I found it a hard film to watch.
He was strangely good in a comedy/parody role in Burn After Reading - but I do love Cohen Bros films!!!
Pitt is also excellent in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", which is an awesome film (apart from the five minute crescendo of violence at the end).

Better or worse?Not seen any of them Chris. so no idea how it would hold up. I expect you'd get a feel for how it was after the first 10-15 min... It had a wee bit of a saggy bit in the middle but otherwise romped along in typical zombie stylee for 2 hours.. It had a good ending too (I thought).
I watched it, thought it was OK, but some bits were just a bit too silly even for my low levels of entertainment. Found most of the characters pretty annoying too. Not really a direct comparison, but prefer Zombieland for the humour, and the characters, plus better known stars seem to have a lot of fun in it.
