Coincidentally I started watching the semi classic American Hustle just before Jeremy Renner was seriously injured. It's very roughly based on the Abscam Scandal, maybe you need to look it up. Anyway lots of great star studded acting, gripping story, and comical New Jersey color. Louie CK has a minor role where he made the ice fishing story that was never finished famous. You'll have to search for the ending online as it's not in the movie. Please don't post it here.

 

 

I thought American Hustle was very good.

Title:

Black Snow (2023)

Cast:

Travis Fimmel, Brooke Satchwell, Erik Thomson…

Plot:

In 1995, seventeen-year-old Isabel Baker was murdered. The crime shocked the small town of Ashford and devastated Isabel's Australian South Sea Islander community. The case was never solved, the killer never found. In 2020, the opening of a time capsule unearths a secret that puts cold-case detective James Cormack (Fimmel) on the trail of the killer.

For whatever reason I decided to download and watch the original "Planet of the Apes", starring Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall, mainly because I couldn't remember much about it as it was released over 50 years ago!

 

It was okay because it refreshed my memory, although some of the settings and props were a little "amateurish" and the very final scene was one that I hadn't really appreciated years ago when I first watched it, and it made sense this time round.

Don't you just love people that say there's nothing good to watch?

I'm not sure how to best choose what to watch because I'll never have time for 99 percent of what I would like.

What's considered "good" is subjective. I have no interest in watching most of those TV series  listed.

Huh?

We have available most all of the video -- movies and TV going back over 100 years in the case of movies from all over the world and you can't find anything good to watch to your taste? Come on man!

 

Yesterday I watched two Colombian movies. They were both good. Just an example.

The Kings of the World

 

Poignant sad story infused with Colombian magical realism and harsh class realities. The sweet scene with the boys being mothered in a rural house of eldery prostitutes would make Fellini proud.

 

https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/the-kings-of-the-world-2022-film-review-by-amber-wilkinson

 

 

 

"The dreamy surreal and harshest of realities rub shoulders in Laura Mora Ortega’s San Sebastián Golden Shell-winning drama, which also suggests the past and the present have a closer interplay than you might first think. Her tale of five street kids hoping to claim a patch of ancestral land often has the tone of a fable, emphasised by its opening near-post-apocalypic opening of a city street, empty of everything except a white horse, in which a voiceover notes: “One day all the men fell asleep and all the fences of the Earth burst into flames.”"

Just started watching the first of three series of Big Sky. Enjoying it so far.

 

Storyteller David E. Kelly ("Big Little Lies") presents a series about private detectives Cassie Dewell and Cody Hoyt, who join forces with Cody's estranged wife and ex-cop, Jenny Hoyt, to search for two sisters who have been kidnapped by a truck driver on a remote highway in Montana. When they discover that these are not the only girls who have disappeared in the area, they must race against the clock to stop the killer before another woman is taken. Based on the series of books by C.J. Box, the series stars Katheryn Winnick, Kylie Bunbury and Ryan Phillippe.

I've just watched the first 2 episodes of Altered Carbon season 1 (of 2) , which I downloaded (from TGx) following a recommendation from @gargamon. Seems pretty good so far and worth a look IMHO.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2261227/

Season 1 is superb. Season 2 not so much. I think they changed directors...

If you like Big Sky, you'll probably also like Joe Pickett, which is also based on the books by CJ Box.

Just watched Without Sin, and now Happy Valley. Strange to see the same actor as a baddie in one and a goodie in t'other..

I need subs anyway ... Dubbed to prevent that I can't get off my shoes because my toes are too far bended and stuck in them if I listen to Hebrew longer then 5 minutes.

Watching 'Alice in Borderland' on Netflix and quite enjoying it. 

 

It's a bit like 'Cube' in some ways.

I've just watched the first few episodes of Tulsa King season 1 and it seems pretty good so far. Worth a look IMHO. It's already been mentioned by others previously in this topic, who have also enjoyed it.  I got it from TGx.

Disney+ has released a new series... National Treasure: Edge of History

 

I haven't watched it yet but plan to download a few episodes to see.

 

Anything with Catherine Zeta Jones and Harvey Keitel in it can't be all bad... 

 

[giddyup]

Stonehouse, 3 episodes about a Brit MP who faked his own death. Absolutely first class entertainment and acting IMO.

[Jingthing]

The U.S. And The Holocaust 

 

Excellent documentary on an under reported  historical topic by national treasure and Hampshire College's greatest alumni Ken Burns.

Review

The US and the Holocaust review – unmissable Ken Burns doc reveals how Hitler was inspired by America

 

The revered documentary-maker brings us a fascinating and unflattering portrait of a nation built on a myth of immigration. This is six hours of television well worth your time
