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: Edited April 25, 2020 by recom273 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 alter it all the time when there are no subs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a lot more, there seemed to be a lot of flat scenes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
