sanuk711 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Anyway..All is not lost, ...the trailer after that was "Fracture" Antony Hopkins at his best as a calculating murderer. Its 13 years ol----and a great movie if you haven't see it, the pirates still have lots of activity on it . Quick download 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStar Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 22 hours ago, DrTuner said: Remakes of British series in US are very rarely good. Adding wokeness to the slow burn Brit style is a recipe for disaster. I'm not sure I can name any that worked, although there must have been one or two. As expected. Now fans of the originals usually don't care for remakes anyway. And other things being equal, an audience member will likely prefer a familiar environment: awesome white wigs, for example, in Law & Order UK over actual hair or baldness in Law & Order. But these American remakes are generally considered to have worked better. Sometimes the underlying quality is about the same, but the American series add in a lot more. House of Cards The Office Shameless American Idol Whose Line Is It Anyway? Three's Company Sanford and Son Veep Lotsa Luck Secret Millionaire Being Human Not that I liked any of these except the earlier seasons of House Of Cards, but they were all popular w/ the masses. And then--watch your knickers--there actually are some Brit remakes of American series that are generally regarded as inferior to the originals. Days Like These Married for Life Brighton Belles Nobody's Perfect In with the Flynns But we can agree the present era is probably the worst for remakes. That's been evident for a few years now. It'd be nice to have hope for the new Dune or Battlestar Galactica, but--no. We'll see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to answer my own question, no, it doesn't seem to be connected to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, although being an origin story, that might pop up later. Just watched Ep 1, predictable story so far does it get better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I enjoyed Burt's last western...Cattle Annie and Little Britches. Burt has obviously made lots of movies, another one that comes to mind is " The Train (1964)" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059825/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_5 In 1944, a German colonel loads a train with French art treasures to send to Germany.

Popular Post TooBigToFit Posted September 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2020 I thought I would go out and see a movie paying the full price for Greenland plus the same amount for the smallest coke and popcorn. It added up to 500 baht. Well, the movie wasn't worth it. This may be the last movie I watch in a theatre. Not much turns out to be very good anymore. I probably would have done the same with the Tom Hanks movie, Greyhound and seeing that movie, I was disappointed too. Besides that, I saw Utopia, the US version. That was quite good but not perfect. It's amazing how much of it connects to the Covid story we live in today. I don't mean the conspiracy in the series but just the fact that this came out during covid when its about viruses. Lovecraft country was good for the first episode but about half way through the second, it just got ridiculously confusion. Maybe the story worked in a book but on screen, I can't see it appealing to most people. So summary: Greenland = 6/10 Greyhound = 7/10 Utopia(US) series = 8/10 Lovecraft Country = anti-climax after first episode 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 previous series all had an element of humour and quirkiness, I found ep. 1 of Season 4 pretty mundane, and of course they had to introduce the super smart black girl with mixed race (white and black) parents, something that would have been unusual to say the least in the 50's.

The 1950's were notable for crime in Kansas City, the story follows crooks from various ethnic backgrounds although the timeline might be a little off for the blacks (quirky Fargo).
