I usually enjoy Statham movies like Wrath of Man, but Beekeeper was just too over the top and into John Wick territory, bordering on cartoonish.

 

You don't like the John Wick movies?

The first was OK, then they just got sillier with ridiculous body counts.

I've just finished season 1 of Pustina(Wasteland) and it was good IMHO. It's worth a look. It was recommended by @Will27 in last years topic. I got it from TPB. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5459168/

When you're done with Band of Brothers, there's a sort of sequel, almost as good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374463/

 

 

Excellent. Hoping Masters of the Air rises to that quality.

And of course don't forget Saving Private Ryan. Same director if I recall. Wonderful.

Thai comedy The Cheery Lee, Village Headman (2023) on Netflix Thailand consists of 27 episodes and was/is fun watching. Not boring at all, and not so irritating (for me) as some of the Eddie Murphy movies. Actor James Fagerlund probably at his best! Maybe he's capable of making some of your family members smile. Mine did. Difficult to do better in the future. We'll see. More movies are coming. Enjoy!

I enjoyed this. Anything with Kelly Macdonald in it is usually worth watching IMHO.

Revenge: Our Dad the Nazi Killer 

In the late 40s, Holocaust survivors emigrated to Australia via boat. On those same boats were 800 Nazis and Nazi collaborators from the Baltic states, given safe passage by ASIO despite their known history of war crimes. 

When three Melbourne brothers: Jack, Jon and Sam, stumble upon a family secret, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth. Allegedly, their father Boris, a WWII Partisan and Holocaust survivor, travelled from Melbourne where he had settled after the war, to Sydney in the late 1950s to undertake a revenge killing against a Nazi. With the help of a private investigator, the brothers unearth an unexpected web of Nazi networks, covert Jewish vigilante groups, and multiple cases of Nazis who mysteriously died or disappeared in post-WWII Australia. The further they delve into the past, the more the brothers are left to grapple with mounting evidence and uncomfortable truths about a father they thought they knew.

A thrilling documentary that deals with deep questions of morality — including taking justice into your own hands — and dares to ask whether we ever really know our parents.

I'm halfway through season 1 of Impuros and it's good so far IMHO. It's worth a look. It was recommended by @Will27.

I don't often watch TV movies, I am ore of a reader. But I was in the States visiting my 28 year old daughter and we binged on a Netflix show I had never heard of before. Not sure if it was the show or that I was watching it with my daughter or  a combination of the two , but  I enjoyed it very much.

On that note, I was looking for The Equaliser 3, after it was recommended by a friend, however it doesn't appear to be on the torrent sites yet – – anyone seen it?

 

As I couldn't find it I downloaded and watched another movie called, "The Good Liar" which starred Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen, and it was very good with a hugely unusual twist towards the end.

Equaliser 3 is worth watching (saw it on Netflix) - good, slow build with sudden outbreaks of violent action, but a few cheesy scenes .... overall good though.  For that type of movie, I think "Man on Fire" is the best.

 

Just started watching 'Happy' (also on Netflix) - great fun series, like a  cross between John Wick and My Little Pony.

 

And for a series that's sheer mindless entertainment with action and naked boobies - 'Obliterated' is hard to beat.  

 

[Yellowtail]

Saw "Argylle" last night, and it was entertaining, but disappointing.

 

It was a good plot and with decent writers it could have been a great spy action thriller, or a great comedy, but trying to do both kind of ruined it. 

 

I guess when you throw in a few laughs you do not need to worry about plot holes, and when you shoot a few people you don't need to worry about being funny.

This Criminal record which another poster also mentioned he was binge watching is great. Next ep is Feb 8

I watched a movie called, "The Killer", starring Michael Fassbender, last night, and found it to be very average although it seems to have an IMDB rating of 6.7? I would probably give it something along the lines of 5.7, if that.

 

Starts off very slowly, so slowly in fact that I almost switched it off, but I watched it through to the end, and whilst waiting for the grand finale, was presented with something which was just a little short of pathetic.

Fisk has been good so far, two seasons on Netflix.

Barry is also worth a watch

[Seppius]

Not seen this mentioned, slow burner, but very entertaining, cant go wrong with Mads Mikkelson. Danish

The poor soldier Ludvig Kahlen arrives in 1755 on the barren Jutland heath with a single goal: to follow the king's call to cultivate the land and thereby achieve wealth and honor himself. But Kahlen quickly makes an enemy. The merciless landowner, Frederik De Schinkel, who is sole ruler of the area, believes that the heath belongs to him and not the king. When De Schinkel's serf runs away with his wife Ann Barbara and seeks refuge with Kahlen, the landowner does everything to drive Kahlen away and at the same time exact a cruel revenge. Kahlen does not bow, but stubbornly takes up the unequal battle and now risks both his life, but also the bond with the small, troubled family that has arisen around him on the heath.

Thanks @oxo1947. I'll wait for the full season to drop. These Irish crime dramas are usually good.

Watched John Wick 4 last night. Waste of time. Boring fight scenes that I had to fast forward through. And other than the ridiculous fighting there was little to no plot. What's to like? 

[Prubangboy]

Finally got around to watching Yellowstone. It's gleefully awful. Kevin Costner completely phones it in, but it's soapy enough to enjoy.

 

I had hoped it would be more Trumpy as promised, but it def conveys the madness those types have about pretending to "preserve" the land while treating the land like a donkey show whore to squeeze every last nickel out of.

 

I moved here from Appalachia where similar newcomers versus gomers dramas are playing out post-Covid and the fantasies and deranged contradictions are the same.

 

And the shows a bit old, which implies that these butt hurt conflicts are eternal. They def like the idea of bullying people with violence to toe their retard Jesus line.

 

My in-laws also want hot looking women who are hellcats in bed like on the show, but who are also fit to meet pie bakin' Mom, but God didn't make nearly enough of them to go around.

Yellowstone pro's:

 

-Beautifully shot, I'm usually fast forwarding thru animal nature sequences, lovely soundtrack of new country music like Jason Isbel, who's Bruce-level. Very binge-able, but very low re-watch potential.

 

Lots of nudity. Every female lead must show her crack. I'm sure Costner demanded it.

I call those kind of movies "chewing gum for the eyes". Instantly forgettable.
