A look at how the rivalry between the CIA and FBI inadvertently set the stage for the tragedy of 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6474236/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Given a 8 on IMDB Yes I thoroughly enjoyed that series. However my neck was stiff for a week due to my head shaking over the gross incompetence of the two agencies. If you liked that series you may enjoy the movie "Shock and Awe" (2018) From Metacritic: "Shock and Awe is based on the true events of Knight Ridder journalists who were the only ones who “got it right” in the lead-up to the 2003 Iraq War when they questioned the true nature of the Bush White House’s justification for the conflict." http://www.metacritic.com/movie/shock-and-awe Great cast too!

Agree, total incompetence and inter agency petty bickering led to 9-11, Could have been avoided. "Shock and Awe" sounds interesting will give it a go, though I might have to wait a while for my head to clear from "The Tower" farce. Another movie on similar lines, though this time they got it right eventually is "Zero Dark Thirty" A chronicle of the decade-long hunt for al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden after the September 2001 attacks, and his death at the hands of the Navy S.E.A.L.s Team 6 in May 2011. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1790885/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daffy D Posted August 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2018 Yet another good one is "Eye in the Sky" with Helen Mirren so you know it's going to be good. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2057392/?ref_=nv_sr_1 It's an intense film well acted and it really reflects how difficult it gets to give clearance for an attack when an innocent life gets in close proximity to a target. There is a conflict between human ethics and achieving military objective. Can 1 innocent life be sacrificed in order to save many? That's the question on which the whole movie revolves around. Well worth a look. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFelix Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Thanks I will look for Zero Dark Thirty.....funny but title seems familiar?? A lot of these US movies I pass by because they usually are nothing but American propaganda however now and then you come across one or two that are actually based on fact and are very good. You might also like Oliver Stone's "W" (2008). which chronicles George W. Bush floundering his way through his early adult years as a drunk unable to hold down any job his father obtained for him, until he blundered his way through politics, POTUS, and the Iraq war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanuk711 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The Kangaroo gang Just 2 part Mini series made in 2011---but I enjoyed it a lot----so far I have only seen a download on Chaos The Blurp Over two hundred years ago English thieves were sent to Australia as convicts and were left to make do. One hundred and fifty years later, Australian thieves who had perfected their trade, returned to England with remarkable success. They had Scotland Yard baffled, as they didn't use violence to steal from the high end of retail; they used charm and distraction methods instead. This is the story of the most spectacularly successful shoplifting gang in history, who plundered stores in England and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. The Media named them The Kangaroo Gang. From the mid 1960s, this brazen band of Australian thieves ran riot in London for more than a decade, pulling off the most daring heists England had ever seen. They targeted the plush emporia of Knightsbridge and the fine jewellers of Mayfair. The Gang didnt stop there, criss-crossing Europe to lay siege to the luxury retailers of Paris, Brussels, Rome and beyond. They elevated shoplifting to an art form, practised without guns or violence. The Style of the documentary is a mixture of high-end reconstructions with a cool sixties vibe, including interviews, personal pictures and archival footage, with narration by Barry Humphries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraday Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Beast 2017. Had high hopes for this...Jesse Buckley's acting, was the only thing that made me endure this clunky movie, that did have a decent plot, but wasn't directed very skillfully. Spoiler Alert. A simply daft, badly acted ending. Could have been considerably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JHolmesJr Posted August 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2018 Few Ive enjoyed lately: Season 4 of The Affair. (shocking turn of events but still very well done) Sharp Objects - HBO Series (a real sleeper, slow burn crime investigation) Guardian Angel...surprisingly good crime film with a mixed international cast set in denmark. In english. El Chapo Season 3.....the finale.....a riveting watch as usual. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tukkytuktuk Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Two great horror movies I've recently watched :- The Others (2001) Grace (Nicole Kidman), the devoutly religious mother of Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicholas (James Bentley), moves her family to the English coast during World War II. She awaits word on her missing husband while protecting her children from a rare photosensitivity disease that causes the sun to harm them. Anne claims she sees ghosts, Grace initially thinks the new servants are playing tricks but chilling events and visions make her believe something supernatural has occurred. The Witch (2015) In 1630 New England, panic and despair envelops a farmer, his wife and their children when youngest son Samuel suddenly vanishes. The family blames Thomasin, the oldest daughter who was watching the boy at the time of his disappearance. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, twin siblings Mercy and Jonas suspect Thomasin of witchcraft, testing the clan's faith, loyalty and love to one another.

Popular Post bluesofa Posted August 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2018 I've just finished watching Jack Irish, the latest series. Very good Aussie crime drama, definitely recommend it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4905554/episodes?season=2&ref_=tt_eps_sn_2 It's listed on imdb as S02, but on tpb it's S04, as there were earlier full length films, making the labelling somewhat confusing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
