brilac Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Been watching That Girl. It's a TV show from the late 1960's - early 1970's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) It's a movie with Liam Neeson. Non-stop .0repeating for a long time, followed by a number, divided by a really big number. Edited March 28, 2020 by Gawdzukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 If anyone liked Tiger King, you might want to read this.

He had a $250,000 trust from his grandfather and his parents received a large settlement when his brother died in an accident. Joe tricked everyone into believing that his brother really wanted a bunch of animals from Africa and that they should start a zoo in his honor. The link I posted is long, but it definitely showed Carole in a more favorable light than the Netflix documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 So, is this the best show ever? I think so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bllewellyn Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Quarry ? 7.5/10 season one just wondering if anyone has watched this show and knows if it will be continued. Thought it was intriguing and just starting to get going... if you haven’t see it at all it starts slow but keeps your attention. There’s sex, nudity and all the usual things you find nowadays in shows . I guess I could google it but I’m bored and just would like to see if anyone else has seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Better Call Saul - Season 5 Just gets better and better. Can’t wait for season 6. Ozark - Season 3 I enjoyed season 1 and finished season 2 a few weeks ago, after stopping it a year ago. Just didn’t really like the second season. Season 3 is great. The end, setting up season 4, is predictable and sort of a “Well, we haven’t done this yet, so now let’s go in this predictable direction.” That’s the only unsatisfying thing. However, the brother’s portrayal of someone suffering from mental illness and being bi-polar is phenomenal. Probably the most sensitive, haunting, sad, and accurate portrayal on film/tv in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 20+ years late, but it’s been on my watch list for some time. Currently binge watching Sopranos and it has definitely lived up to the hype I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a performance that was. It nearly had me tearing up a couple of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn1 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I have been enjoying Peaky Blinders and an old favorite Highlander: the Series (Filmed in Vancouver for half the year and Paris for the last half). The whole, "There Can Be Only One" thing I love. Honorable mentioned, The Big Show's Show on Netflix. If you have been a wrestling fan for any time in your life you might get a kick out of it.

AV's Coin Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hunters on Amazon Part Schindlers list, part Inglorious Basterds, part Oceans Eleven, part comic book hero, add in some seventies vibes Hard hitting scenes of holocaust, mixed with over the top violence, mixed with some camp If the first scene puts you off then you should pass on the rest. The second scene is a discussion on Darth Vader.... enough said Some great acting and some of the most vile characters I have ever seen, Including the Secretary of State and the American Nazi psychopath.

Down by the River Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Money Heist: 6.5/10 Feel like I should have watched the show with subtitles rather than dubbing, because the voice actors just don't match my impression of a lot of the characters. The enjoyable part is the scheme; how they get out of certain scenarios, the planning behind the plot, etc. The bad thing is almost everything else.

What a performance that was. It nearly had me tearing up a couple of times. It was heartbreaking. However the actor prepared for the role, he got it right. That performance was proof positive that acting is much more than just the script your character was given. So much of his performance was in the delivery and his pain. You can’t write that. Unreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The Last Dance: 7.5/10 Craving sports and this doc on the Bulls' dynasty(ies) helps with that... but it seems really disorganized. I could like the idea of going back and forth between 1998 and the journey that got them to that point... but overall it just seems like they jump around without a theme purpose. Like someone with severe ADHD directed it. Still worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
