I’m in S3 of Homeland and feel it’s still revealing its Israeli roots. Al Qaeda (and latterly ISIS) was and is a global organization, mainly Sunni, but what I’m seeing here is Lebanon, Palestine and Iran. Where are the Pakistanis, Central Asians, Gulf Arabs, Africans and Europeans?

One of the later seasons takes place in Germany and the Pakistanis show up in later seasons aswell. The Russians get involved a lot aswell. Don't worry they're coming.

I loved the He-Man and She-Ra series when I was younger. I want to check out the new She-Ra on Netflix but I prefer animation with more realistic features or something closer to the original. But I guess that's because I'm older and these shows weren't made for people my age. lol.

I was a big fan of He-man and She-ra too. When I saw the remake of She-ra I turned it off straight away. Its just so very different to the original series . I just hope Kevin Smiths remake of He-man is like the original

Glad to hear it. At the moment, I feel there’s a good show trying to get out.

Traitors.. based in England after world war 2. Fairly good. If you like espionage you'll like this. Also on the same line with Sacha baron Cohen "the spy" was also very good.

One I caught recently on Netflix is BlueJay. Quite a bitter sweet romantic drama. I would never watch anything like it normally but it was recommended to me. Follows the story of a guy going back to his home town and meeting up with an old flame who happens to be back too. They spend a day revisiting their past. I think many of us who have past romances can I kind of connect with the story.

Spaced has been added to Netflix. Noticed last night. Binge watch central. One of the funniest UK shows ever.

I'm watching it at the moment, I've never seen it before. I nearly gave up on it after the first two episodes, thought they were very poor. It's improved considerably since then though with Edgar Wrights visual style shining through now. Very enjoyable now.

This is simply a warning; avoid "line of duty" the Netflix movie with Aaron Eckhart. ( Not the excellent TV show)

I have never seen such massive plotholes before.

Very rare that a film featuring Aaron Eckhart isn't sh*t.

The Dark Knight and Thank You For Smoking would disagree with you

His career kinda nosedived after that, hasn't really been attached to much that wasn't z-movie level.

2 films out of 47. I would call that very rare.

Addle · 07-07-2020 09:33PM

Some amount of reality shows available now.
Think I’m finished with Netflix.

Without question the best Hollywood film of the last two years - a blistering, razor-sharp shot of adrenaline. Anyone who missed it in the cinema, this is up there with the likes of The Raid at the top-tier of modern action filmmaking. Still impressive Christopher McQuarrie (and of course Cruise himself as the de facto second director at this stage) went from its decent predecessor to this - major leap in confidence and quality.

....Which is all very well but you have to watch the grinning big-headed dwarf run around for 90 minutes and this takes all the good out of any film

Fallout is excellent , there is a rare film that he makes that's bad. Mi1 is brilliant 4th July he would have won oscar bar DDL . He one of the best actors I've ever seen. If you dont like him fair enough but his catalogue of films are classics .

He leaves me cold as a person and an actor, I just switch off when he walks / jumps / lands / parachutes / swims / climbs / back-flips / moon-walks on screen.

Any Asian horror fans (like myself) out there? Well don't bother watching Ju-on Origins.....it's f*cking rubbish.

Your loss; while I don't rate Cruise as an actor myself, Fallout's action is visceral and brilliantly staged / paced, not least because Cruise pulls a Buster Keaton and performs the stunts himself. I don't watch the MI films because I like Cruise the actor, I watch them because his commitment to "real" dangerous stunts makes the films work 10 times more than any other blockbuster out there. Gotta respect / wince at someone who'll literally break an ankle to achieve a simple "jumping across a roof" scene.

I'd be fairly indifferent to him as an actor, I generally think he can do a serviceable job when he's kept reined in. But I'd agree with the point that if you're actually looking for movies with the elements the above post mentions, ie a relatively unchallenging but enjoyable popcorn action movie, imo he's rarely in a dud in terms of production and watchability

Most I've laughed at something on the TV so far this year.

Has anyone watched the last of the tsars(czars)?

Watched Deutschland 83 and the Americans, both so good. Kinda cool because the events of both series occur during the same year in history.

There's a good crop of great German TV shows running at the moment.

Deustchland 83, Deustchland 86, Dark, Das Boot and Babylon Berlin are all top notch shows.

Obviously there are tons others but those are the ones that seem to have achieved a high level of international success.

I will stand corrected but it’s Possibly the most comprehensive movie about blowing up the earths core that I have ever seen...
