Mutt Daeng Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 9 hours ago, Jingthing said: 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Aussie crime mini series, TGX. have seen this one. It's an excellent series 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) 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.”" Edited January 9, 2023 by Jingthing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
