    I watched To kill A Mocking Bird. It was ok once it got going, the book was a lot better.


    Pretty Baby. 1978 with Susan Sarandon and Brooke Shields. I dont know where to start with this. An ok story about a woman raising her daughter in a bordello BUT Shields was involved in a couple of scenes that just should never have been permitted, It was really shocking stuff. I cant actually believe this Film got the go head, nor can I believe that Netflix are streaming it.

    Watched the first episode of "One Of Us" last night. A BBC production, four episodes long. A man kills a newly-wedded couple then travels to the remote Scottish Highlands where they were both from. It's interesting so far.

    It's very very good really enjoyed that series

    Peck in TKaMb is worth it.
    A lot of the performances see like stage actors acting to the back row(standard for the time), but Atticus is perfect.

    Calibre was excellent.. recommend it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 862 ✭✭✭Marje


    Also recommend Wind River. Brilliant movie.

    I really enjoyed Godless - I wasn't sure if I would like it at first, but was very pleasantly surprised. The protagonist was a bit weak, but there were great character actors - Sam Waterston, Jeff Daniels, Kim Coates - and Michelle Dockery was very good.

    Midnight Diner Tokyo Stories- Japanese Drama set in a late night diner which opens from midnight to 7 a.m. with only 4 items on its menu but the chef will cook any special request if he has the ingredients at hand. Each episode focuses on the life of the customer who requests a new dish. Simple premise but really well acted and filmed with many known faces from Japanese cinema and not always a happy ending to the customer story. A bonus is that at the end of each episode the cast shows you how to cook the requested dish. The episodes are only 30 mins long so worth checking out.

    Big fan of Bo Burnham..

    .. yes, he's become overexposed, his material is often childish and overproduced but as a performer, he's incredibly talented!



    Make Happy - his Netflix special - is even better than 'what' IMO:

    Just finished watching Money Heist ( la casa de Papel) . It was OTT and a bit cheesy in places but very entertaining and enjoyable. It is 'character driven' . The plot, and acting is first class. My fave character was Berlin. His narcissistic character was well thought out and darkly comedic.
    I Loved the rendition of Bella Ciao as sung in this scene:

    Watching Rillington Place at the moment. 3-parter from BBC, based on a true story with Samantha Morton and Tim Roth. A tough watch but very well made and well acted. If you like true crime dramas I would recommend.

    He was some evil b*stard,
    I actually think his wife is worse than him, covering for him, she knew what he had done

    Wind River is great, I'd recommend it

    The ken Burns documentary on vietnam is on Netflix and I'm just two episodes in and jesus christ the warning at the start of the episodes are warranted. There is some very hard scenes and I'm only two episodes in.

    Watched American Pyscho last night and really enjoyed it, incredible film. Quite violent, but in a removed kind of way.

    Highly recommended!

    47 Ronin is woeful stutter. Avoid.

    The book is actually more disturbing, lots of stuff left out of the movie. I read it on my Honeymoon and left it behind in the hotels library thingy were you can leave and take books. People who came after me must have wondered what weirdo they were sharing their idyllic island with.

    There's absolutely no way they could have put in half the stuff that was in the book.

    A friend of mine read it years ago (before the film was made) and was telling me about it at the time. Which is kind of why I avoided the film for so long. The film is nothing compared to the book in terms of the content.

    Was interesting to read that the woman who made it kind of regrets the ambiguity around the ending. She said she was aiming for a more definitive outcome at the very end but didn't quite achieve it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,752 ✭✭✭johnpatrick81


    I watched The Foreigner last night, it's actually pretty decent! Jackie Chan kickin lumps out of RA heads, what's not to love.

    Pierce Brosnan is absolutely hilariously uncanny as "Not Gerry Adams" too. Charlie Murphy is in it too, the damn hotty.

    The drill, the cheese, the rat. :eek:

    Although, a lot of the details too graphic to film were referenced in other areas. A brief comment, or sketched out in the notebook that briefly flashed on screen.

    I think the ambiguity comes from a few small details that she cut out of the end. The change made it seem like
    it was all in his head. It wasn't.

    That would be the push I need to cancel so much average to poor content, their original movies are generally crap but they don't seem to care. I'd just dip in occasionally if something good came up, infact I should just do this now, haven't enjoyed anything in months.

    Presume like a lot of these things it was a deliberate leak to test the viral reaction to any change. If it won't fly they can respond about "listening to our customers concerns" etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,483 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    I have paid for Netflix since it launched, admittedly I'm currently paying Mexico prices but have always paid. If they add value and charge more then I grumble but fair enough. If this becomes charging more for less, it's time to use one of the myriad of free illegal options full time.

    Anyhoo, watched Tau. It's not very good, at all.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    There’s always whining about Netflix. It’s fairly cheap at the moment - given they are loss making I always assumed that the prices would go up.
