What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)

'Family Camp' = lame!

[Mutt Daeng]

Today I was poking about on iPlayer looking for something to watch and came across a movie called "The Wee Man" about the rise of a gangland enforcer in the Glasgow underworld. It's based on the story of Paul Ferris aka the Wee Man played by a young Martin Compston. I thought it was pretty good and worth a look IMHO.  Trivia: Due to Strathclyde Police (now Police Scotland) refusing to co-operate with the production company the movie was shot in London, not Glasgow. Only rated 6.0 on IMDB.

While taking a look at The Wee Man on imdb this attracted my attention.

 

Fifty Dead Men Walking ( 2008 )

 

” Based on Martin McGartland's shocking real life story. Martin is a young lad from west Belfast in the late 1980s who is recruited by the British Police to spy on the IRA. He works his way up the ranks as a volunteer for the IRA whilst feeding information to his British handler and saving lives in the process. “

Thanks. I'll have a look at that.

'Terror on the Prairie' - Some of it unrealistic but I enjoyed it nonetheless as I enjoy most westerns.

Have looked at the site numerous times but doesn't show 'Swipe, Match, Murder: The Disappearance of Grace Millane'.

Youtube has several videos.

This one wraps everything up in about 30 mins. This murder case (no pun intended) is probably the easiest one to solve that you'll ever see in your life. The murderer had almost everything he did caught on CCTV.

The Murder of Logan Mwangi

RAR

 

This powerful documentary tells the story of the investigation into the murder of five-year-old Logan Mwangi, whose body was found in a river just yards from his home in Wales.

This one may be worth a punt for Sci-Fi fans - Its got a 7.5 on IMDB but with not enough votes - the comments I saw were encouraging, even this one "A great story with a not so great execution, but it's still a good sci fi movie especially because there aren't many and even less that are really good".

That was quick and not a good sign.  As you have to figure 8-9-10s are from the production crew 

 

90+ not impressed 5 or less rating.  The best parts may be in the trailer ... ????

"For All Mankind" is a fantasic series. The 3rd season is currently in. I found it in the last month and caught up.

That looks good--recom273... Thanks...

 

When I saw the title -  Rubikon made me remember a really good CIA spy TV series 14 years ago -- Rubicon... I think the meaning is the same--(Crossing the) Rubicon. Didn't think it would still be around, but Good old T.P.B is still running the whole series 13 episodes. Lots of twists & turns in that one--- if anyone likes CIA/Spy type. -recommend it.

There were some honest viewer opinions on the site I got it from - that's why I mentioned it. The wife always likes to watch a movie on a Sunday night and I really struggle to find anything decent and new these days - In recent months we watched X, Hustle and a fair few more that were so memorable, that I can't even remember one. 

 

This one has caught my attention, a few comments that it should have stayed at one series. The Bronze Garden, HBO Latin America. 

 

 

 

[Damrongsak]

I stumbled upon this snippet from Mel Brooks' History of the World Part 1—“Roman Red”.  I thought it was appropriate with all the hubub about Cannabis these days.

School Town King (2020)

"The 18-year-old Book and 13-year-old Non, living in the slums of Thailand, already know a "life that started from zero".

Riotsville, U.S.A. (2022)
Welcome to Riotsville, a fictional town built by the US military. Using all archival footage, the film explores the militarization of the police and creates a counter-narrative to the nation's reaction to the uprisings of the late '60s.

Hey thanks Will27 as I remembered that I had a VPN (Cyberghost) on my other laptop but which I had stopped using because it was unreliable, but now that I have got Fibre installed I thought I'd give it another try on my new laptop....AND it works AND I got onto Stan and signed up, so should be ready for kick off on Saturday!! 

 

Great, thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Regarding a VPN......if anyone is interested, I thought I would be ready to go with the Cyberghost VPN in order to watch the All Blacks play Ireland on Saturday BUT it was not to be because with that VPN installed the download speed was far too slow, so far too much buffering to be able to watch successfully, and despite efforts to speed it up, they came to nothing.

 

SO, I bit the bullet and downloaded and installed Nord VPN on a months free trial so that I could cancel it if it didn't work, however it worked a treat, so I will keep it and will not bother with Cyberghost any more (I've had it for a couple of years on the other laptop and have got my monies worth I think).

 

Nord is great!!!!!

Dreadfully boring, did not get to the end, crew on a spaceship the whole film did not bode well. Sherwood however is proving to be well made and entertaining. Just cannot understand why the police would want to spy on the UDM as they were the ones not striking.

just Watched  a series from 2011 called Jarrows law,its a courtroom series set in the 1700s about jarrow who gave us innocent until proven guilty ,really enjoyed it ,mind you even though it was made in 2011 in one episode there is a black lawyer ,quite a few black faces in the streets and even a black guy up on a murder charge ,amazing in the 1700s .????

Are you the same recom273, who posts TV programs on UKchaosTV ....??

Sorry I meant to post this 3 weeks ago.... the best (in their opinion ) upcoming Movies for 2022.

As I am late with it--Elvis is already out.

It runs for 33 min--but --when it starts--if you move your mouse down to the bottom you will see its broken into 19 segments & names the movie.

Anyway as someone mentioned, sometimes the trailer is the best part of the movie.

I enjoyed Banshee, which ran for three seasons starting in 2013. It starred Anthony Starr, who is currently playing Homelander in the equally entertaining Amazon production "The Boys." If you like violence and mayhem interspersed with liberal doses of sex you might want to check it out.

[jaywalker2]

Another interesting series is "Money Heist." It started out as a Spanish drama about a group of criminals plotting to rob the Spanish central bank. After enjoying immense popularity in Europe, Netflix bought it and put out an expanded versions based on the originall. Now, the Koreans are having their try at a remake.

[Jingthing]

Not sure if I got the idea here or not, but CLARK is hilarious!

I thought Banshee was excellent.

Yer -you did....

Jan Erik Olsson--was one of the main characters-in the robbery, although his part is played down a bit in the TVseries- his son had bar/restaurant close to Dolphin roundabout in Pattaya. (about 17 years ago)--  and latter when I moved from there to issan I met him-Jan, trying to make a living from a "Mum/Pop " store out side of Udon Thani. He was also trying to write a book (his side) I dont know if he got it printed, he went back to Sweden, and his son is married (kids etc)  & now lives in Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat )

Sorry, the Spanish central bank was featured in the sequal. In the original series, they broke into the Spanish mint and printed themselves a billioin Euro. I thought the original series was the best of the three. The sequal was somewhat disappointing.
