Finished Episode 2 of Fallout. So far still engaged. Ep 3 will be make or break.

Coincidently we watched this last night. Agreed .

I'm enjoying 3BP . I don't agree it takes a total understanding of physics to enjoy any more than enjoyment of Star Trek required understanding of how Dilithium Crystals made Warp Speeds possible and...

My favorite Roadhouse scene is Ben Gazzara swerving down the road singing to the radio like he owns it. Good villian.

2 episodes into 3 Body Problem. I'm enjoying. Definitely different.

Finished up the Netflix series , The Gentlemen , based on the Guy Richie film of the same name. Not as satisfying as the movie , but close. Worth the time. Ends with a lead in to a second season ....

I would watch the movie first.

Another thumbs up for The Gentlemen on Netflix. Watched the movie for the first time a few days ago , started the series last night. I think the series is excellent. Retains some of the quirks of the...

Late to the party as usual.... The Gentlemen , Guy Richie effort. So I watched a little of this when it came out some years ago but for whatever reason didn't finish. After watching previews for the...

Im agreeing somewhat. Season 1 was the strongest. But it had a hurried finale , like it needed one more episode to wind itself up. IMO theres a steady erosion of writing quality in the s2 and 3. Im...

Watched the Prime remake of Roadhouse with Jake Gydwhatever. Passable. Not as good as the original , but not a disaster. Ben Gazzara was a so much better villain. Jake Whosis was decent in lead....

Winters Bone , good one. IIRC yes it was Lawrence's breakout move.

Neither lead is appealing to me. The dialog becomes annoying. And worst of all it is boring to me. There are frenetic movies I enjoy , this not being one.

IIRC in the past you revealed you hadn't seen some classic movies so ubiquitous as to raise eyebrows. I made no calls for expungement from Classic Cinephile . I call illegal harassment . I refuse to...

Despite His Girl Friday having the rep of being one of the greats I never really cared for it. Passed last night.

Cameron hasn't ever had an original thought in his life. What he does have is a talent for making things go BOOM really loud.

me to.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You should. Especially the first 3 seasons.

I grew up in Ridgewood and Glendale in NYC. Glendale ,at least , was still old school German. The wives would be scrubbing the stoops , vestibules and sidewalks once a week on hands and knees. Many...

Agreed , I liked Loudermilk. Another Netflix series in a similar vein , that is using the recovery community as a back drop , is Flaked. I found Flaked more engaging than Loudermilk. But Loudermilk...

On another note , late to the party as usual , I reentered Resident Alien. I watched 1 or 2 episodes when it came out but for some reason dropped it. But this time I'm halfway through the first...

The younger me devoured all things WWII . It was on a huge almost fictional scale , the conflict for all the marbles. I was fascinated by the breakdowns of the war strategies , that major turning...

I loved World At War as a kid. Victory At Sea was another good one. Theres a few colorized WW2 series on Netflix at the moment. Some excellent footage , really heightens the impact in color.
IMO ,...

Where is this available?

I think it looks pretty good

The Retirement Plan , Nick Cage and Ron Pearlman , 2023 . Very watchable Cage vehicle having to do with a retired hitman killing stupid mob guys. Fun.

Even though The Great South Bay Festival is 10 minutes from home I have never attended. Anyone know if this a multiple stage affair or will I be able to see all 4 bands?

Mister Prostitute

2023 romcom , Anyone But You. Fun and boobalicious.

Bad news. Just checkedf the Great South Bay Festival site for tickets. Anderson and the Geeks are now replaced by a TBA. Bummer. Barre is an interesting addition but not a stand alone draw for me.

Cool. Patchogue is the next town over. I'm so in.

Good one. Ryan goes bonkers.

Anyone watching Mr and Mrs Smith? Into the first episode , a slow start but has potential, IMO. Is it worth a further time investment?

On Edit Just realized this is totally new with only 1...

Romcom on Netflix , Plus One. Likeable flic with who appears to be the son of Dennis Quade in the male lead. Decent.

Even though I'm not a fan of Happy Birthday , a I've heard it so many times , I'm not looking forward to the time I'll never hear it again.

The Bee Keeper. Jason Stathem. Watchable despite a somewhat silly premise. Things go BOOM!!

I could do with some new Frost*

Finished up the 2cnd season of Reacher on Prime. Better than #1 IMO.

Jean Arthur had that certain something.

Ford can be one dimensional to. But he can also loosen up. Star Wars , Indiana Jones.
Alot of Costner also.

The Old Way , a tidy little western. Nick Cage is excellent in this revege western with a twist. Reminisent of The Unforgiven in a way , but not really derivitive. I liked it.

Again , agreed.

I agree. Tarantino wasn't trying to make a documentary he was making entertainment. This was a slowish burn of a movie with a great end payoff. Hollywood is the land of happy endings , this was Once...

Knock it off. Before the thread gets knocked off , again.
This never happens on the BW thread. Because all BW movies are 100% wholesome entertainment , exuding goodness like syrup from a Waffle...

So many. I'll go with Sleepy Time Gorrilla Museum at Nearfest in , I believe , Trenton. Totally unexpected , fun , and wild. Nearfest repeatedly surprised me with bands unknown to me. Frost at...

I saw this available on Prime to. I passed , looked to be a distressing watch.

Its 5 bucks plus tax a month.

He did the 3rd XMAN movie. And is developing a spinoff wherein Cue Ball from Dick Tracy enters the marvel universe. Working title , Balls He's Bald.

Invisible armies of Invisible men!!!!!!!!

Primal , 2019 Netflix
Another good Nick Cage film. Has to do with a man eating big cat and a psycho assassin loose on a freighter munching and killing their way through the crew and military gaurd....

Enjoying Reacher S2 so far

Miricle On 34th Street causes a rush of endorphines that only Its A Wonderful Life can hope to equal. The Alister Sim and Scrooged are my favorite versions.

Absolutly stand by my statement

Miricle on 34th Street is the winner IMO

Fast Charlie, 2023 . Stars Pierce Brosnan as a hit man now a target of a mob takeover. Also a very old James Caan. Well acted and paced action flic. Great supporting cast , shot on location in New...

Im pretty sure alot of these are older than 2023. The Lobster , Killer JoeUnhinged. Didn't check though.

Somewhat superficial when compared to previous WWII docs such as World At War and Victory At Sea. I recognize some of the footage , used previously in mentione series. But the colorization and...

Movie

On Netflix , recent addition. The Silencing . Having to do with the serial murders of young girls in a rural area. This one was pretty good with actual edge of seat suspense in parts . Some of the...
