Recently watched on Netflix (All for the first time);
Bernie: Based on a true life story about a mortician/ funeral director who begins a relationship with an older widow in his community and ends up murdering her.... Perfect little black comedy with some strong acting performances. Jack Black, Shirley Maclaine and Matthew McConaughey were all excellent. No idea how true to life this story is, but the movie is well worth a watch.
The Perfect Host: Any fans of David Hyde Pierce need to give this one a watch. The plot coincidences and twist are utterly ridiculous, but the acting is great and overshadows a pretty weak plot. Watch it if you're a fan of David Hyde Pierce or want to pass some time with something different. Not great, but I really enjoyed it.
Olympus has Fallen: Die hard in the White House.... Pretty much what you would expect. Not too bad as an action flick, but lacking the tongue in cheek humour and all out action of something like Die Hard. Takes itself a bit too seriously for my tastes.
