Poker Face , Peacock, 10 eps (9 released as of today), Rian Johnson-helmed, he directed the penultimate epsiode which was amazing. Natasha Lyonne is awesome, guest star list is beyond incredible. 10/10

Thanks for the recommendation. I just finished watching the first season and really thought it was great. I hope the quality remains the same for a second season.

Lots of Crossroads on TVChaos:-

 

 

Who watches this brainless drivel?

[LosLobo]

Just watched this great movie!

 

As usual for movies of sci fi genre it is highly under-rated!

 

If you appreciate a good sci fi movie you will not be disappointed!

 

PS Don't watch the trailer as it would be a spoiler!

Dave is back!

For those (you know who you are) that can't get enough of Lil Dicky.

A complete load of drivel and not even deserving of the 5.6 IMDB score. One of the worst movies so far this year.

Tom Cruise's next offering: The Preparation and The Movie.

 

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1

Release Date 14 July 2023

I've just started watching The Night Agent season 1 and so far it's pretty good and worth a watch IMHO. I got it from TGx.

'Great' .... that's a bit of a stretch.  On your advice, didn't watch trailer, but did read the summary, which make the last scene, non sensible, along with the beginning 'crash' statement.

'drivel' ... also a bit of a stretch.  5.6 is about right,  OK time killer, but don't expect much more.  Glad it was there, as I ran out of things to watch.

I think somehow you are holding back and not showing your true feelings here lol!

[biervoormij]

Don't recall anyone talking about The Old Way on this thread. I watched it last night and think the rating on imdb of 5.4 is about right. I like watching westerns so watched this even with the low rating. If you like Nicolas Cage or westerns it may be worth your time but if you are looking for a great movie than give this a pass.

Anybody watched John Wick 4? I tried last night but the picture first couple of minutes just seemed off.......

Initially on Kodi and then downloaded from PB. I only watched about the first 5 minutes due to the, to me, perceived quality issue and both sources had irritating french subs. 

 

Is it just me?

Not available anywhere in HD yet as far as I know, apart from the cinema

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "great movie", but it was an okay movie when there wasn't much else on to watch, and it filled my evening as a movie which didn't take a lot of fathoming out, no twisted/convoluted plots and no mind bending finale.

 

Okay for blobbing out and relaxing.

Thank you and also the others who replied !

 

It is good that we can all respectfully discuss the topic.

 

Interesting how different people have different opinions, it would be a boring forum if we all agreed on everything.

 

Different strokes etc....

 

How would you compare it to say "NOPE", the sci fi movie about the UFO "bed sheet" which had some initial critics acclaim it a 9/10 rating!

 

IMO it was the worst movie of 2022!

I always try and respect other people's opinions, because I know we are all different in our likes and dislikes, and as an example of that a friend of mine who is a highly intelligent man thought that the latest Avatar movie was great, whereas I switched it off after about 20 minutes because it did nothing for me!

 

Having said all that, he is into the Marvel comic/Batman/Spider-Man stuff, whereas I am not.

 

Like you, I could not get my head around the movie "Nope" and although I'm sure there were worse movies released in 2022, this has to be one of them IMO – – perhaps it was the prelaunch hype which raised my expectations, only to be dashed by the actual movie.

 

PS. On the subject of likes and dislikes, the intelligent friend I mentioned hated the movie, "The Power of the Dog", whereas I thought it was a good movie.

That's what I was thinking even though some of the feeds/downloads specifically said Cam in the description but the ones I looked at didn't. Can't trust anything these days......

I read that John Wick 4 had won some award, so I thought 'Start at the Beginning' and got 1,2,3 & 4 from PBay. Struggled through No 1, and quit No 2 after 15 minutes. Total rubbish. No wonder there is so much gun crime in USA.

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.

No, how LUCKY. 555   Try Buggernation Street on You Tube....much better.

Alumim AKA Unknowns

 

A few episodes in and enjoying this one.
On TPB with hard-coded subs.

The story of a group of boys, living in the margins of the Israeli society and passing their time in a school for at-risk youth. One day, after a local girl is raped, the boys become the immediate suspects, their already unbalanced world gets completely disturbed.

 

The series deals with the question of the chance these boys have in order to break the cycle of violence they’re in. This is a story of cruel and magical friendship between boys who will sacrifice anything just to avoid their own destiny.

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. 

Interesting for SF/fantasy fans, but it does require patience. Peter Capaldi, great acting. Ambiguity at the end works w/ the surrealistic timeline differences.

I did seek out some explanations as to the ending, or indeed as to the basics of the movie, so your link is not news to me (thanks all the same) however having absolutely no knowledge of Nietzsche and his “eternal recurrence” scenario, the movie made no sense to me.

 

Far too complex for an old guy watching a late-night series, IMO!!!

Reincarnation, close 'nuff. Altering timelines and ripple effects = common SF trope. Cf. Back To The Future. I first encountered it as a kid reading Ray Bradbury's story, "A Sound of Thunder,"  in The Golden Apples Of The Sun. Here, though, residual memories of other timelines, central to the plot, complicate things. And the creepy kid moves between them, like alternate universes--now that's really too much.

 

Often leads to contrived coincidences; no exception here, rather annoying.
