bamnutsak Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Maestro, Netflix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJP2QblqLA0 Bradley Cooper's tour-de-force. More of a love story than a bio-pic. Carey Mulligan is brilliant. Recommended 9/10. Nominated for seven Oscars, but no wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Season 2 of Outer Range, starring Josh Brolin starts May 16th. “A rancher fighting for his land and family discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming's wilderness.” imdb 7.1 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11685912/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk I thought season one was good and ended with more questions than answers, hopefully season 2 will shed some light on the mystery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutt Daeng Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Last night I watched the first couple of episodes of season 1 of Masters of the Air. It's already been mentioned a couple of times in this forum. So far, it's entertaining and enjoyable IHMO. I got it from TGx. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2640044/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further eps I found myself fast forwarding, then gave up around 6th eps. Not sure how it kept the high rating after mid way through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an something of an amateur WW2 historian but found the story disjointed and boring, the flying scenes are authentic and some of the best flying WW2 CGI I have ever seen. I found the the POW episodes from Stalag Luft three based on my previous research interesting and authentic, I think the high rating on IMDB is because people are acknowledging the detail and work that obviously went into making it, as entertainment I would rate it around 6 or maybe 6.5 I have visited sites of many of the USAF and RAF bases in East Anglia, very little now remains of most of them, most having been tuned into farmers fields, many do however have a plaque marking the spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker2 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 On 3/11/2024 at 1:48 PM, recom273 said: Worth a watch? I started watching it the other week, got as far as the kid going back to find him on the ground. You mentioned something about the ending. I liked it and would recommend it but it is slow and most of it is talking. There are also a lot of subtexts to the narrative -- she's German, the husband's French, she uses English as her main language, the boy suffers from impaired sight due to an accident, all sorts of nuances. Some of the reviews criticize it as boring but I didn't find it that way. And I thought the ending was realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th episode really bringing it together in the end, I think it's going to be a classic series You do need some background in Japanese history to understand what's going on. You might want to skim the Wilkepedia entry on the Sengoku period in Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylophone Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) With all of the talk about the new "Dune" movie, I decided to watch the original 1984 version again and I found it enjoyable although the "special effects" were far from it, however the imagination of the producer and set designers when portraying life and settings in certain planets and other aspects of the movie, was intriguingly brilliant! PS. I also fell in love, all over again, with Sean Young. Edited March 22 by xylophone 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylophone Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) When I need a break from a long series, such as "The Gentlemen", I flick on to the BBC iPlayer and watch some of the old Morecambe and Wise shows, some of which still make me laugh – – they were simply brilliant in my opinion.
