Only see Edge of Darkness for download on PB, but very slow DL. Is it available elsewhere?

 

DM'ed you

A comedy? A holocaust movie? Neither. Refreshingly original hard to categorize movie showcasing the talents of Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin (yes brother of the Home Alone guy).

Saw "The Invitation" The Invitation (2022) - IMDb, and while it had a few moments, it was mostly ridiculous. 3/10

[recom273]

This may be worth watching, just watching e01 - I feel I have been watching too many “guys-in-black-suits” series recently.

I started watching it and something fired a neuron in this ageing brain of mine, and I couldn't quite remember what it was – – until a little later I realised that a version of this was done in around 2010 and starred Mel Gibson.

 

It didn't follow exactly the same path, but close enough in many respects, however I will keep on watching it because I want to see what the original was like.

 

Thanks to @RayWright for the heads up on this series.

Very strange scene in Episode 1 where he's in his daughter's room after she's been killed and finds her vibrator (dildo) in a drawer, then takes it out, sniffs it, and then kisses it. Very bizarre and a bit creepy.

Following a string of series showcasing highly intelligent characters collaborating with law enforcement to solve crimes—such as Numb3rs, Monk, Will Trent, and my favorites Ludwig and Patience—High Potential IMDb 7.7/10, also joins the list.

Accidentally saw "Wind River"  Wind River (2017) - IMDb again and really enjoyed it. 8/10

If you like these shows you may also enjoy Irrational. It only has a 7 on imdb so not rated as High as High.  I have been watching both High Potential and Irrational. I am also watching season 24 of Law and Order so have my fill of cop shows.

Thought first episode pretty good, held my interest, which is more than I can say for most new series.

So I watched this Indian film All We Imagine as Light and it held my interest for sure and I recognized it as "different and important" but in conclusion I just wasn't feeling it as much as I had hoped. I felt it was like a European art film. That was before I read this about it. That's what the Indian critics who rejected it for submission as best Indian film for best foreign film for the Oscars felt too. 

 

An Indian movie, loved abroad, is snubbed at home for Oscar submission : Goats and Soda : NPR

Quote

 

Deciding which movie should represent a country as vast and cinematically prolific as India is always difficult. Ultimately All We Imagine as Light was not selected, but the reason why generated much controversy: The judging committee felt that the film was not Indian enough.

Ravi Kottarakara, president of the Film Federation of India, the body that forms the jury to select India's submission — told Hollywood Reporter India that the jury felt it was like "watching a European film taking place in India." Perhaps he was referring to its broody light, the lingering shots, the story's gentle unfurling.

 

 

Anyway, who knows, maybe it will do more for you than it did for me.

It's been a while, but I like some of the Indian stuff, and really enjoyed "Delhi Crime" Delhi Crime (TV Series 2019– ) - IMDb

 

Worth a watch, particularly if you've spent any time in Delhi/India.

Pushpa 1 and 2

I liked these Indian movies very much

@Mutt Daeng I remember you posting a few months back. I also use PIA VPN, I think it’s one of the most stable companies - I also received the $49 renewal notice, I had intended to renew, I didn’t enter my new debit card number and just let it slip (it expired in the early hours of today) - I then received an automated email for an offer of $39 promo. To which I accepted. lol .. I have been a PIA customer for a fair few years, last year I just asked for a coupon as a regular customer, “can’t, but you can apply as a new customer and get a discount” .. I couldn’t work out the difference (apart from the $10, that is)

I use torguard. Around $60 for 3 years. Including dedicated IP. Renews at that rate, not the current retail price. Ranked at the top by torrentfreak last time I checked.

[giddyup]

This is a little gem IMO.

Everything went downhill in episodes 2 and 3 after introducing a teen love story and an underground city of 25,000 people into the plot.. Won't be watching any more.

[oxo1947]

Thought e01 was ok....wasn't too sure. Seemed a bit 'mysterious' aka 'vague & open to wild interpretation'

Won't bother with e02

Ahh OK did not look inside them as not a fan of Vienna Blood

[Jingthing]

The reviews were middling and that's probably about right but I still found My Policeman worth watching to see Harry Styles act and also the story about how the historical oppression of gay people in the UK ruined the lives of BOTH gay and straight people.

 

 

[gargamon]

Season 2 is out, should be everywhere. Already have season 1 though not watched. Worth downloading?
