Watched Greyhound yesterday and thought it was great . Highly recommended.

It was good, but at 1:31 hours a bit short for a full feature movie. The Cruel Sea (1953) at 2:06 hours is still the king of the Atlantic, although the book is even better.

The movie raise the question, why did the US never deploy an aircraft carrier in the north Atlantic to protect the convoys?

They did. They deployed 'Escort Carriers'.

My take is that is was made for today's short attention span viewers, best seen as an immersive experience on the big screen. Not a drop of real water was used, the movie mostly done by computer remote control, much like many of the oil patch workers jobs these days.

Human Target

 

Found this one on RARBG the other day.
Plenty of action and laughs.
Not not to be taken too seriously.

Summary: A unique bodyguard protects his clients by secretly infiltrating their lives in order to draw out and eliminate threats.

Not short enough.

The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty----BBC Last Night 2 Episodes.

 

I Found this to be excellent watch, takes you right through his life and the power he has.

I remember in the 80s he took over an Exclusive Island Off of Queensland "Hayman Island" for 2 weeks...... and invited people who were known but not famous ....Tony Blair, just a back bench politician in a party that wasn't even in government...etc..... what was discussed was never printed but from that meetings many of the guests rose to powerful positions in their countries with the help of a certain media outlets around the world.

 

This only showed 12 hours ago, so maybe a day of so before the usual places pick it up.

Alone Season 7 History Channel...  All the previous seasons were riveting too...

Just watched a great little movie caller, "Irresistible" and can highly recommend it and all I will say about it is that it deals with a small mid-west town, party funding and elections, in a tongue-in-cheek way.

 

Watch out for the two "video sound bites" running in the credits at the end, as they are so on the button as to be untrue! So pleased I stayed with it after a fairly slow start.

Shallow Grave (1994)

I know its an oldie ---but if you haven't seen it, a good thriller--good cast, I re watched it last night.......has about 10 seeds on the pirates.

Its worth a watch.

4 part doco on the BBC takes you from 1922.....up to 1986

Not sure if We Hunt Together has been mentioned before. A BBC six-parter from last month.

 

 

From IMDb:

"A gripping twist on a classic cat-and-mouse story, this British drama series explores the intoxication of sexual attraction and the dangerous power of emotional manipulation as two conflicted detectives track down a pair of deadly killers."

[faraday]

This is really very good, it's not some daft chick flick, & it has a great soundtrack.

 

Give it a go!

Brave New World 2020 is available; doesn't have particularly good reviews though.

 

I'll have a butchers, & report back.

 

[pineapple01]

SAFE is worth watching. 6 parts and No Americans were hurt in the making of this Movie,its English and you can understand what they say.

Yellowstone. TV series starring Kevin Costner. 3 Seasons.

[TooBigToFit]

I'm late to this thread so manybe the ones I am posting some people have posted before.

 

 

I thought Unorthodox was quite good. It's a drama.

 

 

 

 

Still watching this one. Just one season I believe.

 

 

[TooBigToFit]

I know a lot of people complained about Greyhound Attack. They wanted to watch the Tom Hanks movie there was some buzz about entitled Greyhound.  There are lots of junk movies out there trying to profit form the Big Movies coming out of the best studios. Well, here's a great clip from Vice News on the copy movie boom. It'll all make sense as to why there are so many cheap copy movies with similar names after watching this.

Unorthodox has good reviews, so thanks for your suggestion TBTF. ????

 

It's on the bay, uploaded by spud17 with multi-subs.

Turned this off after 15 minutes, terrible acting.

Cursed ....... a series about King Arthur before he became king.

The most 'woke' POS ever produced.

Apparently half of medieval England was non-white, including a black Arthur.

And the lead woman is a very plain fat chick.

Knightfall S2  but not as good as S1 IMHO.  Trying to watch Uncut Gems but I can't understand some of the English to be honest.

whaddya mean? Try watching ''Vic - what ticks me off'' . we though Gems was one of Adam Sandlers  greatest performances. Not that I'd watch much of his other stuff (eg 'Murder Mystery' was awefully ponderous).

On the subject of "The Office" came across a movie on Netflix called "David Brent: Life on the Road", I don't know if it's a poor script or "The Office" wasn't anywhere near as funny as I think I remember it but I didn't think this movie was funny/entertaining at all...

 

Will give W1A a try though ????

We saw Sammy Davis Jr. in Vancouver, back in '74. Amazing show. More multi talented that I thought possible. One of his stand-up lines was: I'm a one-eyed black jewish guy - how did I ever make it in America?'

It's been going on for centuries, ever since some clown decided to depict Mary, Joseph and Jesus as white!
