Seen any good films/series lately

Second three seasons are far better

I rest my case.

i thought BCS was rubbish- waste of time . not a patch on BB -which was really good but too long

The streamers always want extra seasons of successful shows. It takes a very rich writer to turn the money down.

Roofman 2025 crime/Drama Channing Tatum Kristen Dunst. Based on a true story. 
Loved this film easy 4/5

Margo's got money Troubles

I think it's on Apple. Great story and great watch.

I'm watching the sopranos again!

I'm watching the sopranos again!

The other night I watched Richard Jewell 15 2019 again..

I'm still to get round to the second series of the sopranos... or Americana

You have to stick with BCS because the first season (his brother as a lock in) is not great but it's worth hanging in there to meet some of the characters.

Loved Mike.

Agree punch, BCS is worth it. Bit my beat of all time favourite binge is Money Heist.. I'm still in love with Lisbon. Subtitles but so worthy.
A bit too much machine gunning at times but otherwise a delight.
Good soundtrack too, with a bit of a left wing flavour but it will probably not be picked up by those thicko racist reform numbskulls.
Sorry couldn't help it. Enjoy anyway

I better not watch it then pr1ck

Somehow you found a way to shoehorn your political beliefs into a TV/movies thread. Nobody cares.

Anyway, just finished Half Man.  Good but quite grim.

Just finished Widow's Bay.

It's on Apple.


American comedy drama about a haunted resort. Some proper proper laugh out loud moments and good scares too, but I reckon it could probably have been cut down from 10 episodes and lost little.

Heard a lot about Widows porcie, all good, I don't have apple

Legends on Netflix worth a watch ,drug enforcement caper  based on a true story ..

6 episodes ,I have one to go

watched an older film on Netflix the other night "Radio"  another true Story

also worth a watch

the old nanny, are you referring to Widow's Bay ?

Fully agree with Widows Bay. Started great but as ever, dragged out too much.

Quite fancy watching the new Cape Fear, also on apple , but this too has been made a 10 parter.

Will see how you find it. Have never got on with either of the films of it. Just found them dead hammy.

Cape Fear is a weekly release. Today's release was episode 4.


Season 2 of Sugar starts today. Again a weekly release. Season 1 was okay.

Citizen Vigilante with Armie Hammer lookes to be a good one....  #timeswe'reinne :)

the old nanny, I've sent you a message.

Saw the film Carolina Caroline on Sky Premier. Bit of a modern day Bonnie & Clyde. The 2 mains, Samara Weaving & Kyle Gallner are very good in this. Not brilliant but very watchable and flew by. I enjoyed it. 7/10 for me.

Gave Roofman a watch last night... Enjoyed it, true story.. 7.5/10 from me.. Thanks for the recommendation..

werbie^

film called humane was pretty good

Very late to the Baby Reindeer party but very good. Hard to believe it's a true story.

Just watched Rik Mayall Brilliant documentary on Sky. A lot of things I alreay knew but plenty I didn't. A must watch if your a fan of him.

+1 for the Rik Mayall documentary.

definitely on my watchlist - a bit concerned from some of the clips not just from this... I may end up dis-liking him...hopefully not..

Just finished Harlen Cobens I Will Find You , on NF. Sorry , spoilers coming up. Do not read if you really want to watch it.

He is really taking the Mickey now. Missing child just happens to turn up on a photo taken by chance by a relation ..mmm… Trained armed police shoot at but cannot hit our hero who is 20 feet away.  …. FBI raid a house to catch our hiding hero but dont think about covering the back door… Baddie has a private jet he can fly anywhere in the USA without being noticed by Air Traffic Control or the USA air force…
Man gets shot , nearly bleeds to death but is ok the next day as he captures our hero. FBI set up a road block shoot at car but never think of aiming for the tyres …doh!  Policeman works as a team with his own daughter
I could go on , sorry.
Utter garbage…

Watched Citizen Vigilante. Interesting documentary and free to watch on Twitter...apparently.  I see it's banned in Germany..no surprise there.

I went to see project hail Mary, when down in landen
as I've heard good stuff about it.

An easy watch and I enjoyed it, first time I've been
to a cinema since A star is born.

People walking around, walking in front of you, lol

Funny old world

Gets some Great ratings Donnie , you actually heard someone Pronounce London on As Landan ,you must have been staying sarf of the river

brians Never heard of it, so I immediately checked the trailer for it on IMDb, and from that alone, the smell of silliness was all over it. So, having no intention of ever watching it, it's good that your spoilers were able to bring even more smelly evidence to the table, with a clear WARNING sign to STAY WELL AWAY from I WILL FIND YOU. You have to wonder if this type of trash is being brought to life as a favour to someone? How else could it possibly be finding its way on screen?

I thought I Will Find You was his best adaptation yet. I was getting fed up with his British ones, they were getting worse each time. Much preferred the American setting, where they should be. You do need to suspend belief though. They’re written/filmed for entertainment purposes only.

Most of books feature an old photo, a huge coincidence, something a bit far fetched. They’re very twisty and easy to read.

As a loyal follower of a person's works, this is also how trash can be elevated. No offence kenbo.

Maternal Instinct on Netflix is v good. Shocking and disturbing story about an absolute psycho and her idiot husband

CV is well worth a watch. Strangely absent on Netflix tho

The Spy starring Sasha Baron Cohen on Netflix true story absolutely brilliant....

Loved this series.. 9.

It couldn’t have been that bad, DBL. Brains watched eight episodes of it!

Very fair point kenbo. I made the mistake of praising brians too much. Let me fix that.

Hey brians, you're an absolute mug for not ditching that trash after the opening ep!!

Prometheus 2012 ‧ Sci-fi/Horror ‧ 2h 4m on Netflix...

Just a brilliant (fun) movie...

one flew over the cookoes nest
had it in ma mind since  a child
from when firsst seen it....
another "el classico"
and free on u chhobe

ma speeling is shocking
just back from watch the
japan brazil doon the piub

The Spy is just Israeli/Mossad hero nonsense. Netflix and Sasha Barren Cohen should be ashamed of themselves.

Incredible True Story..

My advice would be, watch it.. Then google it..

You have to remember Nobby's political bias Emit

It could win every award going but as it's about an Israeli.....

Pretty much knew this subject would rattle someone on here...

Sugar TV series with Colin Farrell? Anyone watch it? Just started it.

Israel & America are always winning their just wars on celluloid.

No doubt the Kremlin & China do the same.

If you want to believe the propaganda more fool you.

I've seen the whole first series Sofa and I'd definitely recommend it.
Season two has only recently started streaming on Apple I believe.

No spoilers but it's a goodun. 8/10 job.

carlos the jackal...
am not sure if i got that
reet, but made me think on
about ali g

I've stumbled across an absolute gem of a film that's perfect if you need amusing inbetween the footie. It's offbeat, highly entertaining and quirky. I like the sort of thing personally hence the heads up. (It's on Amazon Prime.)

"Sunlight" (2024).

91% R.T.

6.8/10 IMDb.

Give it a whirl people...

Probably mentioned somewhere already but thought seasons 1 & 2 of The Agency were good.Paramount.

Directed by Nina Conti...

I will give it a whirl.

Even better that you know who Nina Conti is.


I'm sure you'll like it. I thought it was excellent and I'm a fussy so and so.

Backrooms was good

If there was ‘a best legs on a British female comedian’ award, she’d win it!

"Sunlight" (2024).

Directed by Nina Conti, Starring Nina Conti, Written by Nina Conti, Produced by.. Guess who?.... Her dad Tom Conti..

Twas very entertaining and I enjoyed it.. Thanks Slippy..

Little Miss Sunshine..esk

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed on Apple 

Last episode is out next Wednesday.

I'm up to E05 and it's been okay. Better than most Streamer drivel

Anyone seen The Snow Girl or The Evil Lawyer ?

No. Not heard of them either.

Very pleased you liked it Emitdeb.

Both on Netflix

The Snow Girl
2023 ‧ Thriller ‧ 2 seasons



The Evil Lawyer
2026 ‧ 1 season   Both Dubbed apparently..

I haven't seen either... Are they any good?

I was hoping to find out on here ! The resume's seem interesting and rotten toms rate them highly.

I’ve watched a few dubbed ones on Netflix. The problem is half the stuff on my screen now is foreign. I’d like an option to either remove it altogether or put it in a foreign category.

Being a bit deaf I use subtitles anyway so it makes no odds to me !

I always have subtitles on myself. I don’t read them that much but I find it handy for the odd missed sentence or strong accent.

Seen a couple of new films this week.

Carolina Caroline ....  Modern day Bonnie and Clyde, 2 main characters gave it a good shot. Overall not bad 6/10

Tuner .....Apprentice piano tuner turned safe cracker. Can pick a ew holes in it but I thought an enjoyable enough movie. Hitting most of the right notes 6/10

Just watched Hell Or High Water again. Probably watched it 10 years or so ago so couldn't quite remember all that happened. Enjoyed it very much again. Cops & robbers film with some pretty good acting. Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster. One of Taylor Sheridan's earlier writes. Also wrote Wind River which came out a year later which is also good. (Totally unconnected). If he's your cup of tea, you'll enjoy them. His stuff usually on paramount.

Talking of movies watched before.. I'm Halfway through Mystic River on Netflix... Brilliant 9.

looks like am gonna have to
"jailbreak" ma firestick again...

Have just seen 'The Odyssey' the new Christopher Nolan film,an adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic poem the Odyssey. I have to say, the lad has done it again, it a cliche, but they don't make them like this anymore. It is much hyped but it didn't disappoint, it's an epic and nearly 3 hours long, it cuts back and forth in time which Nolan likes to do but I had just watched 'Memento'( another Nolan film - streaming on FIVE at the moment) the other day so this was easy to follow in comparison. Must be seen at the Cinema in my opinion to get full effect. 4.5 out of 5.

Dangerous Animals {film}

Psycho kidnaps young girls and takes them out on his boat into shark infested waters for his own entertainment

I don’t really enjoy many on Nolan’s films. This latest one I wouldn’t even consider watching. It’s far away from anything I’d want to watch.

I thought The Prestige was his best film. A 10/10 for me.

Your Friends & Neighbors. Anyone been watching this?  On season 2 and it's been a decent watch.

Watching Seven Seconds on Netflix, up to ep 6 and enjoying it so far.

Star Wars dubbed into Welsh for first time for S4C broadcast


but you'll have to wait until Christmas Day

What I love about Wales is everywhere in the world the word for TAXI is Taxi but in Wales it's Tacsi

Has anyone tried asking Alexa, What is coffee bean one hundred in welsh?

Cape Fear Apple TV, 10 x 45 minute episodes.

It started off well enough but dragged on. The last episode was ridiculous and the ending bodged, presumably in the hope of squeezing a second series out of it.

Hyped to **** on the American chat shows.

Reminds me of the "best bond film ever" tosh we have to suffer every few years.

Alley Cats, Netflix 6 x 17 minute episodes

The fall of Ricky Gervais is complete.

Low quality cartoon garbage with the most witless script ever.

An educationally challenged 12 year-old could have written and made this on a Samsung M32 in a schoolyard.

My thoughts exactly, Wicklow. If you were around ten years old  in the late eighties or early nineties the WWF was great fun.

Yes I was born in 78, so it watching some of the old faces and the storylines which I was pretty oblivious to when I was a teen. Just a shame the Undertaker didn't make an appearance, as he used top dollar back in the day.
Anyhow I never really appreciated what Hogan done for wrestling as a sport, and you deny him that. Yah he made mistakes, but when your that famous and have that much money, its bound to happen. Look at Tiger sure etc and we all thought he was clean cut.

To see the damage he done to his body - and the frail man in the opening scenes, its not to get pulled into it.

There's so much bad TV out there at the mo, and I was sure that would binned after 10 mins, but I gave me a few nights entertainment which is a rarity at the moment.

Firstly, it's only on in the cinema not on a streaming service, secondly the film is nearly 3 hours long, so if you've only watched 25 minutes, or even an hour, you have only watched at most 1/3 of it, so you are in no position to review it. There are some people who just want to criticise anything that is popular because they makes them feel superior to the common consensus. If you had done a bit of prep you would have been aware a lot of critics have mentioned the film is slow to take off, but the last two thirds more than make up for it. The attention span of whole generations has been destroyed by them fannying about on their mobiles 24/7.

Been a pirated copy of The Odyssey available on P2P for over 3 weeks.

Having see the stars hyping the film wall-to-wall on American TV I simply can't be bothered downloading a copy.

Just finished the 5th and final Series of "Southland" and it knocks spots off the other Cop shows the likes of NYPD Blue and Chicago PD and The Shield etc....how they let this finish after 5 seasons is a mystery as it was literally getting better each series unlike some of the ones mentioned earlier.

Highly recommended.
