Seen any good films/series lately

Omfg

What a goal from the boy Channon against Liverpool 1982

Kevin Keegan playing against Liverpool and Kenny Dalgleish

They had some skill I’ll say that.

Wonderful open football. I really think modern football is pants to watch. It’s only the drama and importance of the result that has any interest for me now.

Skeleton Key (Kate Hudson)

Fantastic psychological horror

Landman.

From the pen of Taylor Sheridan.

He's stretching the modern day Wild West genre very thin.

Frequency (Dennis Quaid) is a decent movie

About time travel but on a old citizens band radio , father and son communicate and change history

MRS D is watching CROSS based on the novels -rates it highly -one episode to go.

I am watching Bank under Seige which is a spanish seiies based on a true story of a bank heist in Barcelona following the failed politicol coup in spain.

On episode 3 - enjoying it so far

Was looking forward to Gladiator 2 but after seeing the stinking reviews i wont bother.I should have known nobody could have followed Russell Crowe.

I have seen Cross on Prime

Worth a watch. Kind of like Spooks. Enjoyable watch don’t take it too seriously

Just finished the second series of The Tulsa King, excellent.

The best scene of all time is Crowes character coming back from the coliseum to 100s of men chanting his name with fists drawn

"Maximus maximus maximus maximus"

Can you imagine the feeling of having that welcome after battling to the death ...

I also enjoyed the movie Frequency and the tv series which I think ran for one season but wasn't renewed

Great movie,love Dennis Quaid,Jim Caviezel as the son.

I like the twist in saving the father he creates the consequence of the aftermath

Went to the flicks last night with my son, watched Gladiator 2,a strong 8 out of 10 for me.....

i will defo watch gladiator 2 but it will be hard to better the first one which was superb

nobody watched rivals on disney+, bit silly but good fun and well acted by all,
thought danny dyer was brilliant in his role though i cant believe ive just said that!

I watched the first couple of minutes of Rivals.

Sub Confessions of a Window Cleaner tripe.

imvho.

Just seen Bali 2002 on Prime

Heart wrenching but very interesting to watch.

We talk some sheite to each other at times but to see the consequences of real violence makes you think.

Gladiator was great because you were rooting for Maximus all the way

Jaoquin Peonix was massively underrated in that role, commudus was one of those rare bad guys where you geniuelly rooted for the good guy

I've started watching "Say Nothing" on Disney.(Episode 2 of 9.)

So far so good and the reviews are rightly impressive.

I liked the music in Gladiator. I have heard Mars bringer of war played by a full orchestra and it is powerful. The Septics use the word awesom usually quite wrongly but not in this case.

Say Nothing, a very recent drama series, has had good reviews, its on Disney +

Apologies to Slippy Blue who had already mentioned this.

Say Nothing is excellent.

A big story very well told.

thanks guys will give say nothing a watch

If you like American Football, then I can highly recommend the Netflix Series 'Quarterback' - They take three Quarterbacks in the 2022 season, including the superb Mahomes, and follow them everywhere, including in-game microphones, the first time the NFL have ever allowed this. A very watchable insight into the ups and downs of a quarterback over a full season - 8/10

I've just started watching quarterback - very interesting if you have an interest in NFL.

Have been told by a mate who has watched both that "receiver" is even better. It's obviously the same sort of thing but follows the receivers

I don't post much on this thread but always keep an eye on it for suggestions.

Have recently watched "woman of the hour" which I thought was very poor - also "territory (Netflix), which is sort of similar to Yellowstone (but nowhere near as good)set in the Northern Territories of Australia

Imho Yellowstone is just a rehash of Dallas

The re run of the Jackal is rubbish. Putting it mildly.

^^^ agreed ^^^

It has just been renewed for a 2nd season

I revisited Roman J. Israel, Esq 2017 movie, on Netflix.. I enjoyed it.

Just watched The Substance. New horror film in cinemas now with Demi Moore. A bit f'd up but very good.

I came across a TV film available to download on the BBC last night called THREADS, made in 84 and with many familiar tv faces from the past 40 years it depicts the build up to and then the actual nuclear attack on Britain and the aftermath initially in the immediate and then long term, very grim indeed and yes, you really would not want to be one of the unlucky survivors, here's a bit of the wiki blurb


Shot on a budget of £400,000 (equivalent to £1,290,611 in 2023), the film was the first of its kind to depict a nuclear winter. It has been called "a film which comes closest to representing the full horror of nuclear war and its aftermath, as well as the catastrophic impact that the event would have on human culture."[3] It has been compared to the earlier Academy Award-winning programme The War Game (1966) produced in the United Kingdom two decades prior and its contemporary counterpart The Day After, a 1983 ABC television film depicting a similar scenario in the United States. It was nominated for seven BAFTA awards in 1985 and won for Best Single Drama, Best Design, Best Film Cameraman, and Best Film Editor.

I'm pushing this one

Retrospective reviews have been very positive. On Metacritic, the film has a score of 92 based on 5 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim",[39] whilst it has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 100% based on 10 reviews (with an average score of 8.90/10). The critical consensus reads: "An urgent warning against nuclear conflict, Threads is a chilling hypothetical that achieves visceral horror with its matter-of-fact presentation of an apocalypse".[34]

I’ve looked that up very recently on IMDB, Duffy, and I don’t know why! I wonder if it’s been mentioned on here already? Got very good reviews but isn’t for me.

Now another Reece Dinsdale film from around ten years later gets viewed quite often by me. Nearly all footy fans have seen I.D.

Say Nothing
Tbh, We started watching and pretty quickly started to feel it was anti English/Protestant and pro Irish Republican/Catholic. Became bored and switched off.. Maybe I'll revisit maybe not.

Say Nothing is a story about the Price sisters and their involvement with the IRA.

Sure it highlights some terrible behaviour of British forces in NI but overall the IRA come off much the worse.

say nothing is excellent and well worth a watch

gerry adams does not come out of it well

Demi Moore still got that hairy Bush?

She's getting on a bit now 60 odd?

Finally finished 'The Penguin' series 1 recently (sky atlantic)...referenced earlier by others as well..but very watchable and Colin Farrell excellent in it (though you'd struggle to realise it's him)

very decent 7/10 (actually has 8.7 currently on imdb which feels a tad high but as I've said before I probably mark slightly lower on average)

watched whiskey galore {again) on sunday, bbc 2, outstanding

Been watching The Jackal on Sky with the wife.

Would be decent but for the ridiculous casting, poor acting and the storyline of Lashana Lynch as the lead MI5 detective.  WOKE castings ruin many shows these days.

The Day of the Jackal is at the very most a 6 episode series. Stretching it to ten has made it near unwatchable.

Stand-by for season 2!

Anything written or directed by a woman i give it a miss.

because?

Saw Gladiator 11 yesterday with my youngest son who's 24 and we both enjoyed it. Nowhere near the class of the original but decent film in its own right with a few silly scenes. Original would be 9.5 out of 10 for me - will give this a 7

The latest series of True Detective was one of the worst for being ruined by woke nonsense by a female writer.

I watched about half an episode of a BBC series called Years and Years in 2019. It was highly rated and still is. It is the most box-ticking woke shíte I've ever seen. I challenge anyone to make it past the first episode.

Do you expect women to write touchy-feely or all action dramas?

How about Sally Wainwright; Happy Valley & Last Tango in Halifax?

Gladiator 11 is not very good but my wife liked it.

lynda le plant was brilliant far superior to streaming dung

same age as my youngest son vid

any more TD? - I've also a 26 y 0

yup two older vid one other son who is 32 and eldest daughter who is 33[: youngest was a very pleasant surprise

The old man series 1 is good.
Shrinking is an easy watch,good fun.

Who killed Jonbenet Ramsey?
Just finished this 3 episode docu on Netflix
The parents are the no1 suspects.
This really does highlight yet again that the American legal system was and is a shocking mess.

The old man

We've seen it all before and they are stretching the take out from the very beginning. ZZZzzzzzvile

tale out

It's A Wonderful Life

Watched it tonight with family, a lovely feelgood movie.

I saw a documentary on the JonBenet murder years ago. On either History Channel or similar. It was far superior to the Netflix version. An intriguing case though.

I watched a couple of episodes on The Old Man when it first aired and gave up on it.

MRS D was out in Liverpool with the girls last night so i watched a war type movie on my own.

it was Conquer :Lahad Datu which is a military drama just out on Netflix.

Its a film based on the true events when militants invade eastern Sabah and the Royal Malaysian Palce send in an elite force to respond to the incursion.

Plenty of action if you like that sort of thing , i enjoyed but it was a bit gooy at times. Well worth a watch as based on a true story that pays tribute to those involved. Well acted by local actors.

give it a go

To celebrate Meet the Rees-Moggs starting on Monday 2nd December on Disney describe Jacob in 3 words!

clueless, pompous, ****

w4nker

one of the most obnoxuis people to inhabit plant earth

by the way watching The MADNESS on netflix .. Damb good

I watched an episode and a half of Madness and gave up. Liked the premise but couldn’t take to it, nor the lead actor.

mrs d tends to watch most stuff and i follow along whilst reading etc etc

she thought this was going nowhere but kept on . now she thinks it great 1 episode to go.

over my laptop and book it seems well worth the watck .. got my attention

I gave up The Madness after 25 minutes. Too improbably a tale (even for America) and I just didn't care about the character. I put in my November CRAP list along with Matlock & High Potential

Currently halfway through Beatles '64, which is interesting but for real fans and waiting to start Game of Throws which has just hit P2P

brilliant film

Just watched CLEVELAND ABDUCTION, true story about a bloke who abducted 3 girls and the torture they went through, had a kid with one of them that one of the other girls delivered and performed cpr on and the eventual escape after about 10 years,a grim but compelling watch.

Seen it; what those poor girls went through

Halfway through After the Party, a great story told very well.

Great tv

Agreed Nobby.

Juror #2 is a decent watch,co directed by Clint Eastwood who most certainly is not a woman

I feel like a right miser, but  I watched After The Party last year and thought it was average at best and predictable.

I am looking forward to Juror Number Two though. Where did you watch that?

I thought I'd seen that but just realised it's new. Out on Prime for a cost and either out or soon to be out on Apple s.kenbo

I will be indulging

Firestick is the way.

No doubt out on the firestick then. Will have to watch. Clint’s last film apparently.

Nice one.

The Agency Yet another boring series about a CIA mission in the 3rd world.

ZZZZZzzzzzzz

Nobody Wants This Only two episodes in but so far no CIA agents and a decent watch.

Just watched Juror #2. It was pretty good. Think 12 Angry Men and Reasonable Doubt.

justvstarted black doves -released on netflix today -looks like it cd be good

Black Doves is yet another assassin series.

Black Doves is a few steps up from the usual assassin/agent tales.

The score is excellent too. Whoever wrote is a White Room fan.

Spoke too soon. Black Doves descended into a bulletfest by E04 and they ran out of story completely halfway through E06.

Finished Black doves - started well and flopped 6/10

It takes a hell of a story to fill 6 x 45 minute episodes.

Mr Bean the movie

The painting in America one

Just watched Heretic today. I enjoyed it but felt something was missing. By coincidence Heretic is running at 8pm at Southwell so I’ve had a coincidence dabble on that!

did it win?

Kin an Irish gangster series from 2021. Good so far

Started watching that SNC and it was OK to be fair, but it didn't grab me enough to continue, although I may try again if in the mood

No, unplaced, Aspro.

I've just started watching "Landman" on Paramount+.

I do like Billy Bob Thornton anyway and so far so good.
8.3 IMDb & 78% R.T.

It's too early for me to score.

Landman starts like a  train.... but by E03 it's slowed down considerably and is if anything a little soppy.

It'll probably get a 2nd season

i rated kin

Kin gets better as it goes along,there's a character who comes into it later on in the series (he's mostly in prison in the first series) who you won't forget in a hurry.

indeed punchestown
