Doomsday: The Missing Children

 

All 3 episodes available on Lime.

Summary: In the autumn of 2019, 7-year-old JJ Vallow and his step-sister, 17-year-old Tylee Ryan, disappear from their home in Rexburg, Idaho. As months pass with no explanation or answers on the kids' whereabouts, police and family beg their mother, 46-year-old Lori Vallow, to produce the children or explain where they are. Ten months later, in June 2020, JJ and Tylee's mutilated bodies are found buried in a makeshift grave on a rural Idaho farm, leaving their friends, family, law enforcement and the world to wonder, what happened to JJ and Tylee?

Being a big Sopranos fan, looking forward to this one.

 

My Dinner With Alan: A Sopranos Session will feature esteemed critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz, authors of the best-selling and award-winning book The Sopranos Sessions at Holsten’s in Bloomfield, New Jersey, the location of the controversial last scene of The Sopranos, to discuss the epic, multi-award-winning series. 

 

The second bonus feature of this exceptional film is an exclusive and extremely rare interview with the show’s creator David Chase, where he talks about his childhood memories of Newark, the personal vision behind his landmark series, his love of cinema and presenting The Sopranos on the big screen in 2021.

The Lie 2020
Shows how easy it is to innocently get into trouble.  I won't spoil the plot  :-)
 

The Durrells 2016 (Series 1 to 4)
I'm sure this has already already been recommended ? 
Keeley Hawes of course makes it all worthwhile imho.

Maybe you can also help me in my search for some fitting XMas movies, as I have not been successful in my quest.

Looking for a couple of politically correct, romantic comedy hard-core porn movies, preferably musicals.

Any suggestions?

Ming The Merciless deemed 'discriminatory stereotype'--

 

If you watched Flash Gorden nearly half a century ago ----it's probably to late to save you---if you haven't---"Just Be Warned"

 

Max Von Sydow's archly evil Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon has been branded a 'discriminatory stereotype' by the British Board of Film Classification. In a reclassification of the sci-fi classic, the BBFC has added a new content warning over the depiction of the character, which is clearly intended to be Asian, but is played by a white actor.

It has called it 'dubious if not outright offensive', and now among other warnings ' is added 'discriminatory stereotypes

Breach----Bruce Willis

 

Thought I would download a movie for the night & saw that Bruce Willis had a Sci-Fi just out---- Wow talk about bad reviews---everybody Panned it----and IMDB gave it a 2.... I have never seen a rating that low. Hope he wasn't being paid on  a box office percentage.

 

Breach Review:-- Schlocky Sci-Fi Horror That's So Abysmal, Breach has its moments of B- movie , stemming more from utterly ridiculous execution than a sincere effort to create a gripping space horror.

while looking for answers within his fractured family and community.

Carols from Kings BBC2

[Jingthing]

A random find.

 

I was looking at the recent Grand Army series (it's about a high school in Brooklyn, not the military) and a review mentioned that the model for all of those kinds of shows is My So Called Life which I had missed back then. So I had a look at My So Called Life and what do you know the lead is Claire Danes who later starred in Homeland. You know, the crazy blonde lady! So what a backwards way to get a new fix of Claire Danes!

Documentary - Kentucky Murder Mystery: The Trials of Anthony Gray

I didn't mind this one.

He is still waiting for another trial from his jail cell.

[giddyup]

Really enjoyed this.

[xylophone]

Watched the perennial Xmas favourite again and still enjoyed it...........'Love Actually", and think the Hugh Grant dance in it is great!!

[Will27]

Tv Series - Heksejakt AKA Witch Hunt

 

Enjoyed episode 1.
All 8 episodes with subs available on TPB.

Summary: Law firm worker Ida Waage has to sign a bill for 450 000 Euros, but hesitates. She doesn't know the firm.
Can she trust the people she works for? Is it a scam?
Should she blow the whistle?

 

 

[giddyup]

Good doco, but poor old Shane is looking worse for wear.

 

[xylophone]

Have watched three movies over the last two evenings......

 

One strange one called "Swallow" and it's nothing to do with birds or oral sex!! All the same, an interesting watch.

 

Atomic Blonde with Charlize Theron and John Goodman, and I have to say that the fight scenes in it are so good and so realistic that I would be surprised if someone didn't (unintentionally) get hurt whilst they were doing them. And one lesbian scene was very steamy, to say the least.

 

And one called "Rhythm Section" which has nothing to do with music, but a plane crash, and starred Blake Lively and Jude Law, and was well worth watching.

Thanks for the recommendation Will27.

I've watched a few of these Scandinavian crime dramas/police investigations. They do tend to be well produced with a good story.

I've just d/l this one. I look forward to watching it.
