Watched The Platform on Netflix. What a fkd up idea this is for a film. A vertical prison of over 200 cells stacked on top of one another has a central open shaft running through the entire height of the building. This shaft goes through each cell from the top to the very bottom. At the top of it a restaurant piles 'the platform' with a banquet and it slowly descends, stopping at each cell for 2 minutes. So basically those at the top get the pick of the food, those at the bottom get the scraps if there are any left. Each month the prisoners are gassed and relocated to another level. Violent and brutal in places, yet fascinating to watch too.

Isolation and food shortage... did they know something we didn't when they made this movie? Now Here we are April 2020.... The Cinematography was Brilliant. A very layered Movie Great Message.... |

What Happened to Monday - watched this on netflix last night. I can't believe its 3 years old and I'd never heard of it before. An action thriller set in the future where a global shortage of food and resources has meant that politician Glenn Close has passed an act that limits parents to 1 child, any siblings are cryogenically frozen until such time as the Earth can cope. On entering the city every day each citizen is checked by their permanently fitted identity bracelet.
Willem Defoe is the father whos harboured his 7 identical daughters in secret, naming them after each day of the week and only allows them out one at a time on their day of the week. He picks a name for them to enter society on and each sister is playing the role of this one person on the outside world on their designated day. In the present day when Monday goes missing the sisters have to venture out in to the world to find her and it leads to them having to suppress the suspicions of a work colleague, keeping ahead of the mysterious police of the Child Act Bureau and to trying to change society and the secret of the 1 child rule......
In flashback we are told that Defoe was a bit of a tech whizz and made an identical bracelet for each of the girls that they can track from their home. He allows them to be themselves at home, but when they go outside they have to look and act the same to play the role he's devised for them. The key thing for them is a debrief at the end of each day so that when the next sister picks up the baton for their day that they know whats gone on before. They find out the hard way that what one sister does affects all the others and as they grow up we see it was their dad that picked a profession that best suited their collective talents.
I loved this film, Noomi Rapace from Alien Prometheus and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo plays the 7 sisters and she is perfect in this, the effects are so convincing when they are together. The future is portrayed as dystopian, over crowded and the technology jump is believable too. I really enjoyed this.

I really liked this Movie back when it came out 13 years ago. So we sat and watched it again. It's kind of strange watching it now with all of the Pandemic News front and center.
I Am Legend
"Years after a plague kills most of humanity and transforms the rest into monsters, the sole survivor in New York City struggles valiantly to find a cure in this post-apocalyptic action thriller."

Having taken out a Disney + subscription have watched a few Pixar movies missed at the cinema including Toy Story 4, Incredibles 2, Inside Out & Monsters U.
I do love a good thriller or dark twisty tale but for now with world events as they are I want to be amused and entertained.

Saw Superintelligence with melissa mccarthy.
Not her best, but still a decent movie.
