Yes, it appeared about 2 days ago.

 

There is a scene tag on the season pack - Cherzo. 

Appeared where? Is Cherzo a torrent site?

Its a tag - probably the guy who ripped it.

 

It appeared on a private TV tracker, i never see the material as exclusive, so you might want to use google.

 

If you are using bit torrent to receive your daily TV you should look to see if you can get into a private tracker - they are much better organized and much safer than public trackers - there is nothing exclusive but being private is a way of keeping “watchful eyes” out.

Terriers - came across this one the other day on RARBG.
Not new (2010) but it's pretty good.

Summary: Ex-cop and recovering alcoholic Hank Dolworth partners with his best friend, former criminal Britt Pollack,
in an unlicensed private investigation business.

I started watching a thing called “Devs” last night. Written by Alex Garland.

The one is Air America,

I couldn't remember much about this one so I downloaded it again, and it brought back so many memories of some of my escapades that I was sitting watching it, almost in trance at times........... 

 

Firstly, the aircraft used in the movie were very familiar to me as I travelled from Benghazi and/or Tripoli into the Sahara desert oil camp in a DC 3 in 1970 and I think the one in the movie was a DC 3 or slightly later version. Nevertheless, I did love flying in this thing.

 

Then there was the Pilatus Porter small aircraft and we had one of these based at the desert camp and it was just fantastic with its short takeoff and landing capabilities as well as being very manoeuvrable and powerful, and we used it to travel from desert camp to desert camp.

 

Then of course the helicopters; and I wasn't sure of the make shown in the film, but later on working offshore Nigeria, we used Westland Whirlwinds (formerly Sikorsky) and Bell Jet Rangers as transport to and from the rigs, so watching those brought back memories. Nothing like the dual rotor Boeings that I flew on from Norway to the Northsea a few years later.

 

As for the drug content in the movie........well I can't go into too much detail, but in the early 80s I inadvertently got caught up in a drug running business in the US, and although cocaine was one of the drugs, the main one was marijuana from the Caribbean islands, smuggled in on converted fishing boats!!

 

I must watch more of these older movies as I do enjoy them and you never know what memories they will bring back!

 

Shortly to watch "Made in America"............

Nice comment, thank you, but then again I didn't actually plan any of it, it just came about because I was always seeking adventure in various places, not to mention making bombs in my hometown in the UK when I was a bit younger!

 

Or for that matter brewing illicit alcohol in the Sahara desert, then getting arrested by an irate Libyan soldier who put his loaded pistol to my temple and was screaming and shouting so much I thought I was going to get shot there and then. A bunch of us were then arrested by other Libyan soldiers pointing rifles at us, and I thought my end had come in the middle of the Sahara desert, and no one would ever hear from me again, but............

 

Many more stories, but this is not the place for it, but leading onto a movie.......

 

I did watch "Escape from Pretoria" eventually, and found it to be a good to okay movie and would probably give it a 6+ in an IMDB rating.

 

I see the movie 1917 is back for downloading again, however I didn't find anything wrong with the original one (a screener).

3 Part series to be shown early next month------

The three-part drama follows the story of how Charles and Diana Ingram attempted an 'audacious heist' on the quiz show which gives contestants the chance to win a million pounds.

Back in 2001, Ingram, his wife Diana and an accomplice, Tecwen Whittock, who was sitting in the audience, were accused of cheating their way to a million pounds on what was, the most popular game show on earth in 2001.

The couple stood trial for conspiring by coughing during the recording to signify the correct answers to the multiple choice questions posed to the Major by host, Chris Tarrant.

Absence of Malice

On the subject of malice, I watched a movie from 1993 the other evening called "Malice" and enjoyed it, and really didn't see the ending coming, so that was a bonus.

Black Monday with Don Cheedle is back for a second season. I enjoyed the first series.

 

“Dave” On FX, has been making us chuckle over the last couple of nights.

Speaking of memories ...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077270/

Thank you for the tip, and I downloaded and watched, The boys from Company C, as I had never seen it before, and I had to admit that I was somewhat shocked at what I saw.

 

You posted about "memories" and I take it that you were involved in the Vietnam war, so if you were, I hope that what I'm about to post will not be taken the wrong way!

 

From all of the movies I have seen regarding Vietnam, from that one, through to the basic premise of "Apocalypse Now" as well as, "Full Metal Jacket" and a few others along the way, it would seem that the poor soldiers were under some very inept commanders and many lost their lives because of this.

 

From what I can gather, pretty much the whole war was a shambles, and I have that from some first hand information as a NZ friend of mine was a battery commander in the battle of Long Tan (a movie about it is called, "Danger Close"), and was a commander of part of the artillery unit which held off the Vietcong who were trying to overrun a unit of Aussie soldiers, and he and his unit were recognised because of their non-stop artillery shelling of enemy positions, the accuracy of it and the fact that they were operating under some very telling situations.

 

It saddens me to think of the young lives that were lost through the complete and utter ineptitude and stupidity of their commanders, and also those up the chain.

 

Not to mention of course the many tens of thousands of lives that were lost on the other side of the conflict, and also those poor buggers who were, and who continue to be, affected by Agent Orange.

 

If you haven't seen "Danger Close" then it's worth a watch.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
