Enjoyed "Peaky Blinders", a little silly but the soundtrack is nice...

Watched two good movies over last 2 days.............."Replicas", with Keanau Reeves and although it didn't get a great rating on IMDB I thought it was good, with a twist at the end.

 

Then, "A Private War", about Marie Colvin, the war correspondent who was killed in Syria, who was played superbly by Rosamund Pike.

I hope that is revealed early in the film and that you didn't give away the ending - haven't seen the film yet, and knew nothing about Marie Colvin, although now I know she was killed in Syria before I've seen the film.

Ah yes............Her story is well known and a book has just had its review and a doco made about her, and there have been numerous newspaper articles, so thought most knew, but sorry if you didn't. Having said that there is a narrative at the beginning of the film, which is a bit of a giveaway in this respect.

 

I watched the film about Winston Churchill and thoroughly enjoyed it even though I knew he was dead, so don't let that stop you watching this movie.

Watched complete season last week.

Great all the way through to the end.

It is marked as a "returning series" on "next episode.net" so it looks like there may be a season 2????

Tried to watch what I thought would be a good doco type move called, "Get the ball, Pass the ball" about Barcelona's halcyon days.............but most talking in Spanish, with no subtitles. Anyone seen any or a download which includes them??

Yep Its shallow sharp ultra dark ,  quirkly cool...  and just to top that its hillarious..

anyone who loves seeing millennials get shafted will like

Fyre Fraud.....a bernie Madoff type story for the instagram generation.

Its a documentary from Hulu...dot watch the Netflix one it's a bit dry

Saw "Velvet Buzzsaw" on Netflix, I thought it was worth watching.

Baptiste - Really looking forward to this one.

Coming soon.

Inspector Julian Baptiste was great in The Missing.
This is a spin off.

I look forward to it too.

Hope you'll let us know when it starts.

3 more nice tv shows from Spud 17,

 

Schuld, pretty interesting legal drama from Germany (each episode is different so makes a nice change of pace)

 

Solo (about a cop infiltrating the mafia in Rome)....slightly less gripping than Gomorra

 

Girl from Nowhere...thai Netflix series about a schoolgirl who's goes around teaching people a lesson.

Alpha - about a boy who becomes a man after being separated from his tribe of people in Europe 10k years ago. Befriends a dog/wolf and learn to survive together. Decent. Itunes.

 

Very disappointed with fast and furious making a spin off with Hobbs and Shaw. Betrayed.

Currently watching Nightflyers (Netflix) about the crew of a space ship heading out to try and contact an alien life form with the help of a dangerous physic but with something hell bent on stopping them.  Really impressed with this one, good plot, good acting and some really interesting spins.

Tv series - Hanna

 

Didn't mind the pilot for this new series.
Based on the movie of the same name.

Series to be released next month.

Summary: A high-concept thriller and coming-of-age drama, Hanna follows the journey of an extraordinary young girl raised in the forest,  as she evades the relentless pursuit of an off-book CIA agent and tries to unearth the truth behind who she is.

The reviews aren't exactly glowing, and it gets a 6 on iMDB.

Thanks for recommending this (and Thai Chi for agreeing) - Watched and enjoyed the 1st 3 episodes last night, looking forward to watching more that  I've downloaded.

 

Each episode has some laugh out loud moments, and overall quirky oddball stories and dialogue.

The reviews aren't exactly glowing, and it gets a 6 on iMDB.

Yeah, prefer to make my own mind up. Absolutely zero interest in reviews, I'd have missed loads of good stuff if I did and have had to endure bucket loads of utter crap to boot. The 'professional' reviewers annoy the hell out me, seem more interested in trying to sound intellectual, deep and different rather than bothering about entertainment. Tastes vary. YMMV.

Have to weed out the chaff from the wheat somehow, too many high rated shows to choose from.

Fraud Squad NHS

 

New five part series from the Beeb.
Enjoyed episode one.

One show a night from Monday to Friday this week.

Summary: New series following the work of investigators in the NHS Counter Fraud Authority,

which tracks down the criminals who steal £1.25 billion every year from the NHS.

Thanks for that. I see E01 is on tpb

Elite Squad: The Enemy Within.

 

Not many recent movies are doing it for me.
Watched this one today (with subs) from 2010 and it was pretty good.

Summary: After a prison riot, former-Captain Nascimento, now a high ranking security officer in Rio de Janeiro,
is swept into a bloody political dispute that involves government officials and paramilitary groups.

 

 

Watched Bad Samaritan last night and thought it was good.........

Also managed to find some English subtitles for the doco about Barcelona and Pep Guardiolas reign there (not to mention others) called "Take the ball, Pass the ball"...........an absolute must for football fans, and some of Messi's goals are beyond belief.

 

Mourinho wrongly called "the chosen one" because that tag HAS to belong to Lionel Messi.

TV series - Court Justice: Sydney

 

Enjoying this one at the minute.
All 10 episodes are available.

TPB

Summary: Sydney's Downing Centre and the twelve magistrates who preside, hears over 30,000 cases each year - from minor traffic offences to major assaults. This groundbreaking fixed-rig series takes you inside of one of the world's busiest local courts. It is a world full of emotion and drama, where bad behaviour comes face-to-face with the justice system.

 

 

Confessions of a killer: Ted Bundy.

 

Brilliant.

reviews are useful and time saving, better to read a couple of paragrahs than watch something and THEN make youer mind up , not all reviewers are good but some are more reliable than others so its good to sort out the ones you feel comfortable with and feel you can trust , the site  'metacritic' is good one it has links to all reviews pro and amatuer and gives an 'average' score which again is useful, and as for sounding intellectual, i know what you mean however ALL 'arts/disciplines have their own language/ termanology  and the nearer the 'top of the tree' or the core of  the 'industry/subject  the more they use it 

Awful film on itunes.

 

American heist.

 

Seriously awful film

 

Another.

 

American Animals

 

Really odd film based on real life events. Decent different type of film but the real life people who featured are difficult to relate to/like
