DANNY COLLINS (2015)

Nicely summed up by Roger Ebert

"Danny Collins," about an old pop star discovering the true meaning of life, is an appealing comedy with an unabashed streak of melodrama, sharp dialogue, and a superb ensemble cast, anchored by a lead performance by Al Pacino in lovable scamp mode".

I quite enjoyed the movie, but I tend to like most Al Pacino movies.

Well, I watched E03 of True Detectives last night. It was rubbish & I switched off after 30 mins.

Sooo disappointed.

True, not the best episode of the young season. But I learnt a new word: "apoplectic". Who would say that in a conversation???

people who read.

Black Work has finished too.

Watched the last episode on Friday.

@IC

Black Work was definitely watchable, but nothing special.

is it just me or does it seem movie pickings are becoming increasingly thin on the ground.

i used to be able to open my torrent client and find something i wanted to watch, even had a backlog of films i wanted to see.

now i struggle to find anything remotely interesting.

No it's not just you they are, i was listening to a director on a bbc podcast a month or so bac , cant remember who , but anyway how he

sort of explained it was ,

Very very loosely, budget wise there are three types of films,

Huge ega large big budget films that have enuf funding to make sure they return wedge, big

advertising huge promo's batmans ect ect so they are getting made.

Indies, that tend to b trendy are relatively low budget,and so relatively little exposure and risk for the studio so they tend to get made

and then there's the mid budget films, what is mid budget dont ask me ,,but not enuf wedge to cover huge advertising and promos that the large

ones use to ensure to get their money back, but still take a significant amount of wedge to produce,and haven't got the indie trendy niche market

to help, apparently these are the films that the studios/ investors see as a risk and arnt getting made anywhere near as much as b4

And he reckoned the workers from those mid budget films are moving across to tv , which could go a way to explain the increase in 'quality tv'

dont shoot the messenger, this is only what was said, but it sort of makes sense.

oh and tbh really cant see why they call 'which way home'

a documentary this is a drama based on truth.

[JB300]

Please can somebody watch Marvelous & tell me they enjoyed it as much as I did...

Failing that Columbiana is a great film, connection being I was on a visit to parents in the UK & both films were on at the same time, recorded Columbiana (seen it before) & thoroughly enjoyed Marvelous...

I've always wanted to be happy... So I decided to be...

Watched this movie some time ago, it's Korean with subs & directed by Lee Kwang Dong.

Really enjoyed it.

The korean filmakers in recent years imo are the 'cutting edge' of cinema.

rijit

Try the Korean historical series "Jumong". I watched a couple times on Dramafever.com. It's 60 hours long! I think it's the greatest story ever told. My subscription is only 5 dollars a month and you can watch thru a vpn connection.

Chuno is another great drama series.

yep , one episode in of Jumong and it looks good,,,,6o ish to go,,, hapi days

will defo have a look at Chuno in the next few days.

Seen a few short movies on you tube, & this one is sooo good. It's quite emotive in parts.

Another good world cinema movie, this one's Romanian.

The trailer's a bit over dramatic, the movie relies on a very good plot without such sensationalism.

Wow, what a crime scene. Feeling sorry for the one in charge for collecting the evidence. But how does it all fit in? I am more confused than ever. Looking forward to more (every second episode with a shocking finale?)

Certainly <deleted> up, right? I was like "phwoar, didn't see that coming" I think it has something to do with the revelation uncovered earlier in that episode involving a south of the border connection (apologies trying to get around the whole "spoiler alert" )

Next week's episode should hopefully go about explaining it a bit more..

[jope]

For those who have not heard: Sundance renewed Rectify for season 4 and HBO renewed Ballers for a second season (really enjoying the latter, too. Harmless fun, a lot of "bling").

The Hathaways

[jmccarty]

The Gunman with Sean Penn. Not bad, Penn does a convincing ex-mercenary.

TV series - Undercover

A new comedy from the UK.

In a word: dreadful.

Undercover is the story of traffic policeman Chris, a neurotic, over analytical, metrosexual who is also an undercover policeman in a vicious Armenian crime family called the Sarkissians. His day-to-day tasks mainly revolve around not getting killed and blending in with excessively violent gangsters. Couldn't be simpler!

[Will27]

Tv Series - Rookies

Another cops series from the UK.
One episode in and it's pretty good.

** I think the download name is rookie cops **

24 ordinary people - from a wide variety of backgrounds including lorry drivers and travel agents - are about to make a life changing decision. They are to become Police Officers.

The Fall (2006) NOT the series with Gillian Anderson

I was referred to this film when reading the message boards for the current AMC series Halt and Catch Fire, a personal favorite. People were raving about what a great actor is Lee Pace, and saying this is their favorite film of all time! I watched it last night, and every ten minutes I was checking to see how much time was left. It is firmly in the fantasy genre, which I generally avoid. The cinematography is stunning, and the sets/locations are other worldly. But the story? Ehhh...Didn't move me, despite the use of the orphan child befriending the broke down hero, both of them hospitalized. It just wasn't my night for a good cry.

What really shocked me was the many locations used. India, Bali, Prague, Cambodia etc. This film must have been a budgetary and logistical nightmare. It only grossed about 2 million dollars. It could become a cult favorite (maybe it already is), rivaling those old Thirties spectacles by Alexander Korda. If you like films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you might want to look this one up, at the usual outlets.

SEVEN. Five for the spectacle.

[Patsycat]

Glitch is an Aussie 6 parter about people coming back to life.

I enjoyed it and there was a bit of a cliff hanger at the end of the last episode, which hopefully means a second series.
