This one looks good.

 

Out next week.

 

When a contract killer has a rapidly evolving form of dementia, he is offered an opportunity to redeem himself by saving the life of the adult son with whom he had been estranged.

 

 

 

Didn't Liam Neeson just play a hitman with dementia?

I don't know if it's been mentioned on here before, however last night I downloaded and watched, "Anatomy of a Fall" and found it pretty good and also intriguing in its own particular way. As a result of police investigating the death of a husband, the whole relationship/marriage came under scrutiny and the French prosecutor was someone whom you wouldn't want to meet in your worst nightmare – – smart, cunning and ruthless.

 

I played it through VLC media player because it was part in French and part in English, even with some subtitles, so that made it easier.

 

It had good reviews, but I was disappointed with the ending overall.

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.

Worth a watch if only for the way the marriage was viewed by the prosecuter and the tense courtroom scenes, not to mention the role of the son and their lawyer friend. As for the ending...............

Yes, in 'Memory'

 

Watching the above trailer, looks as if it's going to have few twists along along the way.

On the recommendation of a friend, I just watched In the Land of Saints and Sinners. It was good IMHO and well worth a look. I got it from kickass.   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15782690/

I am not by any means recommending this movie, although it has an 8.3 rating. I am halfway through but need a break!

 

Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe 

Poor Things 2023

I am shocked that this was such a huge Winner!

[Will27]

Season 4 of Forensics: The Real CSI has started to drop.

This is an excellent show if you haven't seen it.

 

Follow West Midlands Police as they use real life forensic science to catch criminals.

Blackshore season 1 complete is now available on TGx. It was recommended by @oxo1947 and it's been mentioned by a few other posters on this forum.

Skim City: The Real-Life Mafia Behind Casino

 

The real-life story that inspired Martin Scorsese's 1995 "Casino." Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal and his muscle Tony Spilotro earn the Midwest Mafia millions upon millions of dollars by skimming money from the Stardust Casino among others.

I am not sure yet.

I think you need to be in a certain frame of mind to enjoy watching it.

I started to watch it and saw the quality in it but decided to wait until I'm in the mood.

Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax 

 

In 2015, two children accused parents and teachers of running a baby-eating satanic cult in a Hampstead school. The tale gripped conspiracy theorists around the world.

I struggled through it and found it a strange and odd movie with more than its share of CGI , and overall would rate it as nonsense and a waste of my time. However I am sure that someone/some folks will sing its praises suggesting that it had a deeper meaning/allegory into the human condition or some such like........but for me, still a nonsense movie!!

I didn't even make past the trailer, and find that happening more often than not.  I can't be bothered any more, wasting 1.5 hrs of my life enduring most of the crap they are putting out any more.

Shocked all the way to the end for me. Three of Hollywood's best caught my attention.

I've just watched The Promised Land (Bastarden) and it was very good and well worth a look IMHO. It was recommended by @Seppius and mentioned by a few other posters earlier in this topic. I got it from TGx.

Earlier in the week, I watched season 1 of Hit & Miss. It was good and worth a look IMHO. I got it from TheRARBG.

Sticking with Shogun, I like it, but hardly a clue what's going on. The 4th episode really bringing it together

 

in the end, I think it's going to be a classic series

[Jingthing]

A De Niro classic (acting and directing).

A Bronx Tale.

Excellent watch. Fun to see so many Soprano's style Italian Americans.

The usual places but also on youtube here with US VPN:

Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy.

Animated Scifi.

 

Not for everyone. Definitely for a more sophisticated audience. Much better baked.

Watching it reminded me of Bojack Horseman (also animated) which I recommend more highly as a must watch. 

Checking reviews, I found that others connected it to Bojack Horseman as well (due to mental health themes).

If you haven't seen Bojack Horseman yet, do check it out.

Just finished watching the 9th and last episode of Masters of the Air. Why did I do this to myself? The characters seemed to blur in my mind. Hate the washed out photography which seems to be in style for the past 15 years or so. Series was choppy and felt it was ticking boxes to make people happy. I swear there was a Mexican flag displayed at the liberation of the last Luft Stalag. Might have been a Moroccan one there, too. A guy in a fez certainly was. Seemed like a mishmash. And then suddenly they were all gone back home. The end.

MARY & GEORGE from Apple.

Too many bums (for me) , no titties!

Will appeal to some members though.
