Seems I may have missed a few recommended Sci-Fi movies over the years and this seems like a good time to catch up. There is one I haven't managed to find, Simone from 2002, with Al Pacino.

 

Gamer

Primer

Upstream Color

Idiocracy

Jupiter Ascending

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

Primer is one of the best movies ever. Thanks for reminding me about “upstream colour” - I need to watch that.

 

If you are in a scifi mood - take a look at these:

The season pack has dropped. I just binge watch until my eyeballs are bleeding.

 

I really hate when the TV / VOD companies do this, I much prefer the anticipation of waiting a week for new series. I think Netflix got it right with this series of “Better Call Saul”.

I much it prefer when they drop the whole season so I can watch it at my leisure.

 

I usually don't watch shows once a week anyway.

I store them up and binge watch them.

Just saw this one on RARBG.

 

Has an excellent cast.

I watched an old great movie last night called, "The Professionals" and it stars amongst others, Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan and Jack Palance.

 

I don't ever recall seeing it so it was new to me, and the quality was excellent, which was most surprising.

I loved it.

 

With an IMDB score of 8.5, I'm guessing I'm not the only one who did.

I think that because it was dubbed it just didn't give me the feeling the actors were genuine playing their parts. Maybe subtitles would have been better? Who knows?

I don't like the dubbed versions.

 

Hard coded subs are the way to go IMO.

Miss Scarlet and the Duke, 4 episodes out now 

about a lady detective in Victorian times.

Anyone spotted "Gangs of London" with English subs? From hearing a bit of the first episode it might as well be in Greek to my ears.

For sure. Sno does a pretty good job on a lot of the foreign language stuff.

If you watch it with VLC player you can use the equalizer function to improve the audio. I alter it all the time when there are no subs

Thanks, but I watch it on a big screen TV using the MX player. The subs are also helpful for my Thai partner to understand as well.

Bad Education

 

Hugh Jackman is usually worth watching.

Summary: Based on a true story, a student reporter starts to trace embezzlement at the Roslyn School District, in Long Island after the assistant superintendent makes a crucial mistake that hints at corruption that spans over a decade.

Thought it was pure garbage.

A 'B' movie at best.

Made worse because a lot of it was in Hindi/Bengali so you had to use subtitles.

 

I'm not against Subtitles perse but I don't think it added to the movie & I normally have Thai subtitles on so the GF can follow some of the stronger British dialects in the dramas that I tend to watch...

 

Somebody earlier compared it with John Wick 3, I wouldn't say it was that bad but a C / B- movie at best for me.

Man, that drove me nuts too - We watched every Hindi/Bengali scene twice. I was expecting a lot more, there seemed to be a lot of flat scenes. 

[worgeordie]

Van der Valk series 1, episode 1 out now, A Dutch detective series,with British actors,

Marc Warren in lead role, worth a watch.

[worgeordie]

Penny Dreadful    City of Angels,  a US version, not as good as the

previous British version,IMHO. series 1, episode 1  out now.

New series : The Baker & The Beauty
 

Only seen the first Ep. What a great show! A light and funny rom-com fairy tale. 

Ol mate the baker lucks out with a very freaking hot, international superstar played by Nathalie Kelley (Australian actress born in Peru). 

 

Bring it on. Can’t wait to watch this series unfold.
