muon* 3,015 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 "Deliver us from Evil" with Eric Banner, not bad even if I'm not really into horror flix. "Spencer Confidential" was a fun ride as lots of Mark's movies are. "Kilo Two Bravo" was horrifying but not horror. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Why wife and I are just up to episode 6 and are fully hooked. What a wonderful production. I find this Russian made series doesn't have the usual formula or predictability of so many US series. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

MLXXX 740 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 On Netflix. Recommended. Anthony Hopkins' acting is, as usual, superb. Some Italian, Spanish and Latin, but most dialogue in English. From Wikipedia: "The Two Popes is a 2019 biographical drama film directed by Fernando Meirelles and written by Anthony McCarten, adapted from McCarten's play The Pope which premiered at Royal & Derngate Theatre in 2019.[3][4] Predominantly set in the Vatican City in the aftermath of the Vatican leaks scandal, the film follows Pope Benedict XVI, played by Anthony Hopkins, as he attempts to convince Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, played by Jonathan Pryce, to reconsider his decision to resign as an archbishop as he confides his own intentions to abdicate the papacy." 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Always been a ZZ fan but love how their beards were an accident and not a forced marketing stunt, didn’t know that before the doco but just perfect timing, finished off that 80’s futuristic image And sound Eliminator and Afterburner Embodied.

08Boss302 1,320 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) I thought the John Coltrane doco was great. Learnt a few things about some of his records I own. The zz top doco also great, but as a long time fan was annoyed it stopped where it did given their career certainly isn't over and def didn't stop in the early 80s. Nearly thru season 2 of El Chapo, not as gripping as S1 but still good. Edited March 28, 2020 by 08Boss302 . 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Goatboy 777 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Tiger King. Holy trailer park Batman this is one hell of a ketamine - fuelled fever dream. As fiction this wouldn't be credible. As a documentary it's jaw - dropping. Meet Joe Exotic and his two hundred plus big cat zoo, which is sprinkled with ex cons, his two husbands and random firing ranges where he channels his rage against his nemesis - Carole Baskin of Big Cat Rescue. There is so much going on here that a private zoo owner ex - coke lord, who Scarface was based on, barely gets screen time. It's supposedly spawning a dramatisation, although I don't see the point as the real thing is as compelling as it gets. Scored 5 drunken alligators from me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

mwhouston 5,065 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Only signed to Netflix a week ago for the next few months. Never subscribed to any service like this before and after a few months may never again. I did it to help through the isolation period and it’s has worked well. The wife and I love a good movie but have to compromise on what to watch both having different tastes. i signed for the HD $20/ month deal because we have a 4K 65” TV. My Sony 700 4K player is Netflix enabled and requires a single button press to get us in. Easy. We have really enjoyed it so far and are looking forward to working though quite a few movies. We never watch the same one twice so always looking for new releases. All run on my Wifi and 22MB/s nbn plan with no stammers or lockup’s. Picture is good and sound excellent via COAX to my DXD DAC and full 300W audio system. Wife doesn’t mind it a bit loud also. Adds to the drama. Staying away from series at this point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mwhouston 5,065 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Watch 6 underground last night in louderama.
