Seen any good films/series lately

Last week I watched Weapons 18 2025 ‧ Horror/Mystery ‧ 2h 9m  Horrifically bad! I just couldn't stop watching.. So bad I Quite enjoyed it.. 2.5/10 imo.

Last night I watched Giant 15 2025 ‧ Sport/Drama ‧ 2 hours Prince Naseem Hamad biography.. Was interesting, always disliked Hamad in the past.. After watching the movie, I was correct all along.. 5/10 imo.

Going to make time for Americana very soon...

I thought Weapons was disappointing cnsidering the favourable reviews I had heard beforehand.

New season of FROM starting soon, recommend this if you haven't seen it yet, creepy horror.

The aforementioned Legends is my choice of viewing tonight. Didn't realise it was based on a true story.

Advert just came up on the radio and it sounds an interesting watch after all.

On episode 3 of Legends finding it a little uneven and there was a hell of a coincidence at the end of episode 2

BELIEVE ME ITV

A truly shocking look for the Police in this country.

Legends by episode 5 this drama is firmly in ridiculous territory.

"The Cage".

Holy mackerel, that is complete and utter pony.

Anyone watched LUCKon HBO ,I ve watched the first four episodes which is centred around the world of horse racing and gambling in the states, it has a decent cast including Dustin Hoffman, Denis Farina and even Gary Stevens is in it, it was made in 2012 and was renewed for a second series but was cancelled due to animal welfare concerns as three horses died during filming of the first season of the show.

Saipan 2025 - film about Mick McCarthy vs Roy Keane..

I enjoyed it.

Was thinking this needs posting on here... (Has it's own thread)

Going to make time for Americana very soon...

Stop Start Sh1te

Watched Apex on Netflix last night... There is so much SHT on tv these days.

I watched Luck back in 2012. It was very good. Hard to believe they couldn't stop injuring horses.

Need something good tonight on Netfix or Prime, just cannot bear to watch Eurovision.

Help please.

Saipan.. would be in the not to miss Category.. imo.

Thanks Emitdeb, will give it a look.

Just watched Untold UK - Jamie Vardy on Netflix - Great story, good watch.

Just finished watching Legends on netflix, nearly gave up after first one but I got hooked after a couple of episodes , although certain scenes which may possibly true are a bit tricky to believe without giving away spoilers. But an interesting focus on the lesser known customs and excise work.Decent cast and reminds me of The Knock which was a similar kind of series in the eighties .

Yeah, I remember The Knock

Crime 101 on Prime is a decent watch.

Believe Me ITV worth a watch ,4 episodes are on ITV X

The girl called Carry is now Boris Johnsons wife ,she waived anonymity

Wow! interesting fact... (if true)

We were watching last night and to be honest, found myself getting quite angry.. Cretinous people out there..

Arsenal fan apparently...

I watched that over the weekend case. Was OK to be fair. Found out after that it was Boris' wife.

I watched the new film Apex last night on Netflix. The opening scene soon gave away how it was going to play out, but I kept going until the hunt began and then just kept pressing the 10 second forward button as I wasn't prepared for watching a cat and mouse game for 30 minutes or so. I stopped with around 30 minutes to go to see it out.

Taron Egerton is building up a head of steam as an actor and has beefed himself up for this film. Charlize Theron is very fit for her age and fit the part well, but it was all a little too familiar and predictable for my liking. Couldn't recommend because it's a boring rehash of so many that have come before, but from a critical perspective, the two leads held their own, if nothing else.

I watched it in two sittings. Just about passable imo. I do like a cat and mouse film though.

Eden Lake was a good one. I can’t remember the two main stars names, but they went on to do very well since then.

Kelly Reilly and Michael Fassbender, Reilly of Yellowstone and now Dutton Ranch, she's positievely filthy

I’ve not watched Yellowstone but I have seen her bath scene a few times!

Can't get into any of the modern westerns coming out of America. Just looks like the same thing over and over again.



Started Legends the other day. Really, really like it so far. Neil Forsyth is one of my favourite tv writers. Characters are all great, good storyline, some great camera work too. Looking forward to completing it.

Believe Me

I know the story and it shouldn't be this cringey.

Molly's Game.

  Molly's Game.

Molly.

She's no Sydney Sweeney.. but yeah ..

SS has a butterface.

She's great in Euphoria.
I actually like her as an actress regardless of her rather marvellous assets.
The White Lotus series she was in was very good and Reality was as well.

Yeah, she was decent in Reality and The Housemaid. Haven't seen Euphoria yet. Looks kinda spicy. I'll check it out.

Definitely give "Euphoria" a go sofaking.

Jessica Chastain (Molly).. Also superb in Zero Dark Thirty..

Dear England.. BBC series,  tells the story of Gareth Southgate's tenure as England's football team manager.. In four parts..

I'm halfway through second episode.. It's entertaining and I'm guessing like marmite, Some will hate it..

Slingshot
15 2024 ‧ Thriller ‧ 1h 48m

Watched last night, anyone seen it?

I quite enjoyed it, probably because I love a space movie. Some interesting twists and turns...

Dear England....watched first episode, thought that they were heavily leaning into that sort of plonker stigma that Southgate tends to suffer from.

I also likes a space movie I'll give that a Go Em thanks

The Brave One (2007) Jodie Foster.

Watched it on Netflix last night.

Bit of a revenge type movie but well acted. Good film.

The mother of all cons (BBC Iplayer)

Watched the first episode last night and looking forward to watching the next one tonight and watch the whole charade unravel.
Mother and daughter set up a charity and looks like they get their hand caught in the till.

Very few programmes/films have kept me interested recently, but will be watching this later for sure.

real life story/doc

A recent murder trial :in summoning up the judge said the guilty defendents TV watching habits showed an unhealthy interest in  murder documentaries.

Just thought ffs,true crime is a genre that many take interest in every serial killer has a documentary not to mention the volume of dark thrillers involving crazies with knifes.


Ffs even Mrs Marple, wherever she went some chunt copped it, 27 deaths or summit.
Berjerac, weekly Midsomer carnage on his doorstep.

Half Man wtf have I just watched? Well it must've been kind of good as I got all 6 watched in 2 sittings. Written by and starring Richard Gadd alongside Jamie Bell as the elder Ruben & Niall, it charts the history of them from the last 40 years. Ruben is the certified nutter of who's wing Niall falls under. This is a pretty tough watch at times and not for the faint hearted but I thought the acting sublime, especially the young Ruben. It's not without flaws though. We are supposed to believe these obvious age 20+ actors are schoolchildren and the transformation from these to the adult Gadd & Bell is strange to say the least. Same with an elder Albie. Still, these are things we can put up with as this fascinating tale of woe goes on and on til it's conclusion. A solid 8 from me but realise this won't be for everyone. Btw, I believe Paul Gadd also wrote and starred in Baby Reindeer, which I haven't seen, so I didn't have that in my mind judging this. Think I may give that a watch. Will it be worth it?

Yes...!

Baby Reindeer is a dark, psychological horror drama.
I preferred it to "Half Man" which is also very good but B.R. is something else.

Cheers slippy. Will give it a go. Congrats with the eagles btw, you've had some great times of late. HGS

Baby Reindeer right up there in great shows I never, ever want to watch again.

You might feel the same about half man porc

yeah, it's on my list to catch but with a bit of trepidation.

Watched Hachi:A Dogs Tale the other night with the kids ......must admit for the 1st hour not a lot happened then towards the end had tears streaming down my face.....a true story....incredible really.

Watched that years ago with the kids dancing. Bring a tear to a glass eye it would. Excellent.

Finshed Better Call Saul last night


Thought it was excellent. Had a couple of false starts with it as it was slow to get going, but as with Breaking Bad it soon found its feet. Extraordinary achievement from the creators to make something so incredible and then come up with a prequel that is almost on the same par.

Yeah, BCS is great.

Half Man can't be weirder than Baby Reindeer.  Can it!??

another high vote for 'Better Call Saul' - though I need to finish it still...seen up to series 3 to this point..

Quite enjoyed series 3 of Euphoria - arguably the best of the 3 - seemed to get a  lot of stick for real world (lack of moral lessons, objectification  etc,) ...true representation of some of these themes whilst having a healthy dose of drama unreality inter twinned.. not great but good...7.5/10 against 6-7 at best for first 2 series..

Watching The Guest. Up to episode 2. Fairly intriguing so far. Hope it doesnt get silly.
Macartneys Lost Bass Guitar was excellent.

Better Call Saul was the worst example of a single idea being padded out into a borefest. 6 f***in' seasons!

No amount of writers and directors could breathe real life into it.

There's no hope for you Nobby 

Mr Contratry just being contrary. You'll get used to him werbie.

Yep. Todays headlines!!

I enjoyed Better Call Saul and I've read that some even preferred it to Breaking Bad, but I'm not one of them. BB was a lot better imo, but that takes nothing away from the spin-off; both are good watching, addictive and highly recommended.

I watched Breaking Bad from the start and really liked the first couple of seasons before it went down hill. I was curious about Better Call Saul but literally nothing happened.

It's not enough for a story to have good characters, you also need drama, plot and pace.

If having high standards makes me contrary then so be it.

I'd like to pipe up for Better Call Saul

Brent - carry on with BCS I reckon. Second three seasons are far better and really ramp it up (again like BB I suppose).

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
