Sadly I gave up on the recruit after the first 20 minutes....

My tolerance level for TV series is pretty low as well, if it doesn't grab me within minutes of the first episode, I'm gone, but somehow this held my attention. Go figure.

A Complete Unknown --- 

 

Coming into the 3rd week of Feb and this movie came out in December---still can only find CAM versions. 

 

Anyone seen a proper copy ---can you point me to it.   Unusual to have to wait this long--- 

If I can't find it soon I am going to have to go watch it in a Cinema---pay money-eat Ice Cream & pop corn.

 

oh what a horrible thought.  .........

I enjoyed this movie.

"The Gorge" is worth a look a bit of fun horror/scifi movie with nice scenery.

The cam copy available is actually pretty good, 1080p, good audio and video, and very limited advertising. I was pleasantly surprised since cam versions are usually unwatchable.

Thanks for the heads-up @Andrew Dwyer. I'll have a look at that.

All downhill after first episode.

I like it, it’s a bit sci-if, a bit conspiracy mystery.

 

I just finished Tehran S03, was good, maybe a lot more action than previous seasons, a bit more like Fauda  - the subs aren’t with the file, so needed to be pulled from another source, but then I leaned that I can set the background to 100% opacity and block out the Hebrew subs. 
 

I tried watching Prime Target and gave it up after two episodes .. is it worth continuing? 
 

I started on The Sketch Artist a Canadian drama, French language - maybe worthwhile, it was on Walter pres. last week. 
 

and a new series of Yellowjackets, im still confused. 

[recom273]

Oh. The new series of The White Lotus appeared.

That is good to know, Unfortunately I binned my copy because the subs were unreadable over the Hebrew subs

 

Prime Target IMO is convoluted, long winded boring rubbish, I only tried to watch it because I went to Cambridge

I only watched it for the strong pretty black girl running around and protecting the weak and helpless white gay guy.

[xylophone]

I saw the movie, "Blue Velvet" mentioned somewhere on my Internet travels, so thought I'd download it and watch it, expecting great things as I hadn't seen it before.

 

I did sit through the first 25 minutes of it and then became thoroughly bored so switched it off. It did look terribly dated so that contributed to my boredom I think.

 

I also downloaded a movie which was mentioned on here, called, "The Firm" starring Tom Cruise, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Gene Hackman, amongst others, and it was nowhere near as good as I thought it would be, seeming to get a little convoluted towards the end (for me anyway).

Dennis Hopper plays one of the best psychopaths I've ever seen in Blue Velvet. David Lynch movies aren't for everyone.

What a great picture, but not one to watch alone, or just once.

Found eps s0301-05 on PB in 5 separate torrents. 06-08 not found yet.

[Seppius]

Anyone watched Better Man yet? I loved it, but then I am a big Robbie Williams fan, but you don't have to be to enjoy it

 

The torrents around I think are excellent not cams, it was 24GB, but there are smaller ones

Death In Paradise is back but the traditional whitey detective has been replaced by one who is not, par for the course nowadays, and apparently Selwyn is getting the push because of budgeting costs!

Only because I was stoned.  Same with Monty Python, as if watch either now, I wonder why I even bothered way back when.

Sisu, American Primeval, Last Blood, bad Boys Ride or Die, El Camino, Cobra Kai, The Wages of Fear, Carry On, Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

With all of the cr@p that is going on around the world at the moment, I decided to watch a movie which was uplifting, so I looked at my "saved" movies and watched, "The Greatest Showman" starring Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron and the beautiful Zendaya and was not disappointed because there were a few scenes in it which were truly uplifting, and the choreography was brilliant/amazing.

 

So glad I watched it again.
