Reviews aren't the thing thing I look at.

But if something keeps getting awful reviews, like Capone, I don't bother.

 

As far as IMDB goes, 7.00 is pretty much a par score for a decent movie IMO.

I disagree completely. A 7.0 rated film, is typically a very good movie and one that is highly rated on IMBD. And I much prefer user reviews over pro reviews. 

 

I agree about Capone. Tom Hardy is outstanding. Even he could not save this absolute turkey. I think I rated it a 3.0

Salisbury/Wilts/New Forest has lost two tourist seasons in four years.

Just finished watching it and enjoyed it ,but just realized as it was a true story they had to stick to the FACTS and could not make it into the usual PC story ,so no openly gay married couples ,no black men  married to white women or visa versa , no trans people ,it must have broken the hearts of those in charge at the BBC .????

'Murder in the car park' on Ch4 is looking good for the same reason; It's a true story of a murder in UK cira 1987 & the 15 mins or so that I have just watched has caught my interest sufficiently to watch the full monty later this evening (90 mins).

Just watched the first part of a 3 parter "the Salisbury poisonings " enjoying it ,all parts on lime.

I've watched all three episodes. I thought it was a well produced series, a very enjoyable watch.

Yep, I thought it was pretty good as well.

 

Would've been good if they said what happened to the two accused Russians and

what action the (UK) took afterwards.

I just stumbled upon this on Netflix 

 

 

It reminds me of a 70’s Poliziotteschi movie

Those of you with a VPN and don't want to wait, The Bureau season 5 is available to stream on SBS on Demand.

I'm looking for a Dutch TV series that's supposed to be very good. Klem (The Blood Pact) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5544138/

Three seasons have been shown on Channel Four and shouldn't be hard to find, but I've been looking on the usual suspects and have had no luck. Does anyone know where to find it?

[bert bloggs]

This one is a tad old ,but just watched the three episodes ,it about the young days of Del Boy and Rodders ,from only fools and horses,its called Rock and Chips , great fun and in the usual places.

Yesterday : Episode 10 of Picard

 

The last of the season

 

 

Picard as a bumbling old fool. Absolutely horrid. Painful to watch.

[n00dle]

The Great.

 

Satirical period piece, Elle Fanning as a young Catherine the Great in the russian court of Peter.

 

Same writers as the movie The Favourite, edgy dialogue, made me laugh out loud.

One of my favorite recent war movies was Hyena Road. A smaller Canadian production. Very well done, with a great script, acting, direction and production. 

Thanks "sm007" as I watched this movie last night and thought it was great......and have to agree with all of your comments.

I just downloaded the Ch4 Murder in the outback torrent from Rarbg, it is like the TPB one a MKV file 1080p x265 and it won't play properly on any of my players.

I tried d/l'ing the full K-Lite codec pack, same result.

VLC, GoM and Windows media player.

It stutters, freezes, horrible.

 

Can anyone help me?

Has anyone seen Central Station recently? I think it was done in around 1998, but it is timeless, features the ever great Fernanda Montenegro, and a kid that was sensational. In addition it was directed by the wonderful Walter Salles. A lovely Brazilian film. Amazing characters. Great story!

Just downloaded and it won't play on Windows media player, just get audio no picture, but plays just fine on VLC Player 

 

Maybe you got too much running in the background which is slowing the player. Try stopping every thing else and see what happens.

Yeah, tried that, exactly the same result, the video sticks and the audio carries on.

 

There must be something missing in my PC as I have always had problems with MKV files for some reason.

I have some problems when I transfer to play on the TV.....but a PC should handle everything.....what Player are you using?

Occasionally I get a file that works just fine on the computer but for some reason is not recognized by the TV.

 

When that happens I use a free program called VidCoder  https://vidcoder.net/ to convert the file so it plays on the TV.

 

VidCoder is simple to use, you can just use it straight out of the box with default settings or play around with it a bit. I leave most of the settings alone except sometimes reduce the filesize to help save disk space.

My daughter just got me turned on to this one. Totally hilarious.

Thanks Daffy, but ur link and two others I tried from Tom's hardware( 5.14 ) and filehippo all had the same installation error, summat to do with entry point missing in a dll file.

So now I am playing with demo version of movavi.

 

I'll edit in my results.

 

It seems the demo movavi was only for audio, not video, can't find a trial version of that.

 

I did all that in VLC ivorbiggun and the video is still stuck/frozen, audio is fine.

 

In GOM Player I getting the spinning wheel, and I am getting fed up.

Summary: A gang of thieves plan a heist during a hurricane and encounter trouble when a cop tries to force everyone in the building to evacuate.
