Turned it off after 2 min.

I lasted about 10 minutes with it, and because it has turned into more of a "cartoon" movie it didn't appeal to me one iota.

 

I wonder if I'm one of the last few folks to appreciate movies without the "special effects" treatment, and for me movies like, "Bridge of Spies", "The Railway Man", "Enigma", "Sully (which I watched the other night from iPlayer), "Shooter", "Tombstone", "Mr Jones"....and so on, are favourites of mine amongst many, many others of similar ilk.

 

Never have been keen on the Marvel comics productions and have never seen a Spider-Man or a Marvel man movie in my life, and don't really want to!

Terrific soundtrack.

 

 

Thoroughly enjoying the series. Thanks!

I'm watching The Virginian, Cheyenne and Bronco just now. Brings my childhood back.

On TinyZone there is the whole lot of one of the UK's favourite soap's Crossroads, every time you click on it, it just does not work. How disappointing.

New police drama from the Beeb.

Follows rookie police officers working in Belfast, a city in which being a frontline response cop comes with unique pressures and dangers.

 

 

One of the better series seen in a while, very good thanks for the mention

An older movie I could watch again, as most I don't care for...

... Shenandoah w/James Stewart

Yes, I remember it, a great movie.

Last week or so my attention has been taken up by my wife mostly (lol), but in between I have been watching:

 

Blue Lights

The Devils Hour

The Godfather 1 - 3 (again!)

Lawrence of Arabia (couldnt resisit it....for the 20th time)

The Power of One

True North 2006 

Avatar 2023.

 

All great shows with the exception of Avatar which I felt dragged.

 

An old favourite I want to revisit soon is "All the Pretty Horses" with Matt Damon.  If youve never seen it and you are a Matt Damon fan you should not miss it and same with "Good Will Hunting".

Yep

 

Just finished it last night and one of the best cop series I've seen in a while.

Lasted 30, too simplistic and predictable, the old fashioned cliched shoot em up colonel did not help. Great visual effects not enough to outweigh the weak story and acting. On the other hand The Night Agent had me hooked.

Watching Night Agent now its got me hooked too. Thanks for recommendation!

Now that’s scraping the bottom of the barrel. 
 

there is a series called “crossroads classics” at 21GB and some year packs from 1977-1981 which are about 30-40GB each out there, if you use other methods.

That's interesting Thanks.

Just caught up on Season 3 The Mandalorian. Based on the Star Wars franchise,

Season 3 of Picard. Based on Star Trek franchise, Some of those actors have not aged well.

Also just finished Season 1 of The Last of Us. Don't know if there will be a Season 2.

Also thought it was great, some fantastic music, I wonder if Fleetwood Mac was the inspiration for the story?

 

BTW "Daisy" is Elvis Presley granddaughter Riley Keough, brilliant performance from her

Thx, found it. I thought it was a brand new movie (2023) but it's from 2019.

Easy to find using the Just 6.5 name.

Finished watching "The Devils Hour" last night and was deeply disappointed that IMO it became a bit of a tangled mess towards the end.

 

Started off well and then lost me further on along the way.

Lots of Crossroads on TVChaos:-

Watch Creed 3 last night. It has a good IMDB rating of 7.1 but I found it disappointing.

Searching for something new yesterday I stumbled across this documentary which, while initially put off by its Sand Sharks vs Godzilla type title, turned out to be a real find.  If you are even mildly interested in sharks, fish or fishing you will find Shark vs Tuna extremely interesting.  I watched it on lookmovies.

Already mentioned, Rabbit Hole - well worth a look, I just watched the first 3 episodes in an evening. 

 

 

[xylophone]

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, however last night I downloaded and watched a movie called, "Inside".

 

It starred William Dafoe, whom I have always liked as a good actor, and I wasn't disappointed by his performance (in effect he was the only one in the film), however the movie dragged a bit and had an ending which was, which was, which was.......not an ending IMO, as there was no real ending to it!

 

Another one of that ilk and one which I shan't bother to keep on file.

Yes I watched it, I thought an average movie made worse by no ending.

Yes, I've watched it and thought it was very good. I'm a fan of Damien Lewis and Guy Pearce.

Tetris (2023)

Very entertaining comedy with a 99% fiction content imo.

If you have not watched Riley Keough in this TV series, you might find it as another good experience!
