What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)

[The Hammer2021]

Ridley has only one or two episodes out so far and I'm not rushing to watch it but I will when the series  is complete but it is noticeable it has received  some stinking reviews.

I will also delay watching The Capture which I expect to be as good as Series one. So I am filling my time with Resident Alien which gets excellent  reviews and indeed has some good ideas in it but suffers a bit from unlikely  casting and all the ills associated  with it.

A new series of The Capture aired last night on BBC

 

 

The first series was interesting, I cant remember so much about it, from 2019 - about deep fakes, some squaddie was accused of a murder he didnt commit .. ring any bells?

Murder in a Small Town

RAR

 

A new two-part Channel 5 docuseries re-examines the case of Jodi Jones, who was killed in woods near Easthouses, Midlothian, 18 years ago.

 

Murder in a Small Town, which began last night (24 February), takes another look at the case against Luke Mitchell, convicted of brutally murdering his girlfriend in 2003, a claim he denies.

Yes it was excellent and series two promises to be good  also.

Ridley Road is not Ridley. They are two distinct and separate productions.

Just finished 'Sniper: The White Raven'. I can't believe IMDb only gave it a 5.8/10. Well worth more.

 

 

Quote

 

 9/10

Probably the best international film I've seen. Bonus: it was created by a newb filmmaker, and is based on true events.

This Is Spinal Tap (1984). Possibly  the original, one and only, the best rockumentary but spoof  musucal documentary SPINAL TAP. I watched it again last week  and remembered how funny it was and how realistic. It was so accurate  in the  depiction of heavy rock  bands and their fans it offended quite a few heavy rock  fans and musicians who didn't know it was satire, a spoof,  a comedy. Even today the argument about  volume: "Turn it up to 11" resonates. Its worth rewatching and for those who haven't seen it you're in for a treat.

Let's hope BL2 is better than BL1. I fear not. One wonders if  Mercurio has shot his  wad and have we seen enough of James Nesbitt. Or people expect  too much out of them

I agree @IvorBiggun2. IMDB ratings are to be taken with a pinch of salt IMHO. I enjoyed watching it.

IMO, IMDB and Rotten Tomtoes give a decent opinion of most shows.

 

Generally, if something has really bad reviews from a lot of people, it's pretty bad.

There are exceptions due to personal taste etc, but I think you usually get a decent idea.

Watched "I came by" last night. One of the better movies I've seen in a long time. 

[Jingthing]

Can never get enough Bob Odenkirk.

This a different kind of role but good fun with stylized violence.

Indeed, I once read a review for a movie on IMDB and someone wrote a review complaining that in order to follow the movie he had to actually use his brain and think.

He didn't like that one bit - the result being - 1 out of 10 for the movie.....

INDUSTRY The best series I have seen in ages is a drama  about the banking industry. The protagonists when not having sex,  snorting coke, smoking meth, dropping pills, taking sex selfies, eating exquisite food in the lush Michelin guide restaurants of London - are working in a bank. Creating, selling,  producing, complex financial instuments in million  pound deals peddled on a word and handshake. They inhabit the world of old money aristocracy, the barrow  boy bruiser, academia, high culture and the  rough trade noveaux rich. BUT THIS IS NOT THE 80s when cocaine fueled the city. Its post 2008 and actual takes in the covid era. A brilliantly written script of arcane dialogue spoken  by the drug fueled wheelers dealer characters who are foul  mouthed, driven and troubled and sexualy promiscuous.
One of the  best, most addictive series I have watched in a long  time.
Great dialogue: ' As one trader speaks to his female colleague: "Listen you c**t I worry about you as much I worry about climate change."
Brilliant!

Strong pass.

This is a blatant right wing political propaganda hit piece.

Filmed in Putin adjacent Serbia 

Of course it was!

Batman (2022)  Surprisingly good for a concept that has been rebooted a hundred times.  But unlike most reboots?  I liked it.
