Turning this into a thread mostly because I forget what I’ve seen *even with* a letterboxd account :blobcatfacepalm2: … two of the films I said I was going to watch last week? Yup had already seen both of them … anyway …

In cinema this week (Aus):
Palace Nova in Adelaide have a dystopian double of Robocop and The Terminator for $15, I’ll probably get along to The Menu this week? Meanwhile it’s getting to that week where sessions of The Woman King are starting to drop of so get in while you can also Decision to Leave is great if you haven’t seen it yet.

On free streaming:
ABC iview has Charlie’s Country which is a must watch - the late great David Dhalatnghu Gulpilil with long term collaborator Rolf de Heer presents an award winning performance and story of what it is to be Aboriginal in modern Australia. Not going to recommend anything else on free - just watch it, trust me.
