Lupin is pretty good. French with English subtitles

fin12 · 11-01-2021 12:33AM

Lupin is great, finished it all .

Thumbs up for I am woman aswell. Watched some great stuff this weekend on Netflix.

I wonder is that I am woman based on a true story, it’s actually really good and inspiring. Very catchy song..... I AM WOMAN.....

Sorry it is based on a true story.

It's strikingly shot. Looks very like a stage play though.

EDIT: I wonder if there'll be a glut of stuff like this in the coming year. It's very easy to shoot this under covid. You need about five people on the set, and it's doable for pocket change for a lot of Hollywood types. Lots of idle film cast and crew around, and a market starved of content.

Started Office Uprising the other day because I saw someone talking about it on Twitter. It wasn't bad but the budget was quite low and the aesthetic just struck me as really dreary and not what I was looking for so I stopped after about 15 minutes. I was disappointed because the premise sounds fun and Zachary Levi is meant to be good in it. I might go back to it at some point.

Charlie19 · 11-01-2021 03:21PM

Kill the Messenger staring Jeremey Renner who plays journalist Gary Webb. True story about reporter that uncovers the involvement of the CIA in drug and gun smuggling from central America into the US.

This is an excellent movie and is well worth a watch.

Darksoul · 11-01-2021 07:07PM

La Révolution is very good, French series but in English dubbed. The fight scenes in this is one of the best I seen in a long time.

gmisk · 11-01-2021 09:30PM

I am very late to the Cobra Kai party....
I watched one episode when it was first out, but it didn't really hook me...but...I went back to it and I am up to episode 5.
It is so so much fun.
It's a really odd mix of comedy, schmaltz and nostalgia but somehow it works.

Hercule Poirot · 11-01-2021 09:48PM

I'd recommend The Queen's Gambit, not the best show I've ever seen and it's fairly predictable but it's enjoyable and Taylor-Joy is very engaging in the lead role. There's a lot to be said for a good one-shot series, I thought Maniac was another great Netflix one-shot.

A better recommendation is Back to Life - has similar vibes to Afterlife, very dark comedy but (I'm assuming it's because Daisy Haggard wouldn't have the highest profile) nowhere near as self indulgent as Afterlife - I really enjoyed it and I really hope there's another season.

I enjoyed the queen's gambit my other half gave up at episode 5, it dips a bit around episode 5 and 6, it can be a bit slow in general but episode 7 was fantastic, acting great and it looks brilliant.

Back to life is excellent I watched it when on BBC, new season due this year!

Also watched this today. Pretty good, well produced. Great soundtrack and some genuinely heartbreaking stories. Alot of pretty similar content to other Netflix docs like 13th etc so nothing groundbreaking in terms of news but an enjoyable evening watch all the same.

As with most of these sort of documentaries I'm left with a cocktail of helplessness, frustration anger and sadness. So really a perfect watch for 2021.

The Reagan administration were ****ing monsters.

Probably a bit late, but I'm rivetted after 2 episodes of Alice in Borderland. Parts of ep 2 were really really tense. I was expecting something like Ready Player One but it's so far away from that.

Dang you, started this yesterday and now can't go to bed. On the last episode... :-)

Sometimes you have to be impressed. I know their film output has been patchy (at best) but that's an impressive amount of stuff they're making, and it all looks like original ideas. When we all complain about Hollywood being so focused on franchises, reboots, sequels etc you have to applaud netflix. Hopefully some of the films are actually good!

pixelburp · 12-01-2021 04:35PM

It's an impressive quantity, but I'd be cautious given their propensity for the cinematic equivalent of shovelware; their resting tactic last year felt like throwing one A-list star at a D-list script & production (see something like The Old Guard).

Mind you, if you had told 2005 version of me as I watched the execrable "Doom" movie, that Dwayne Johnson would be the biggest Hollywood star in 2020, I'd have laughed.

Not everyone will agree with D-list script. As immortals go, it was better than most nonsense. Loads of rubbish in it. I and the few people who recommended it would have paid for the over priced popcorn to watch it on the big screen.

Not every movie has to move mountains or make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Something fun is just as enjoyable. Even if the bad guy is a bigger twit than Facebook Lex.

State of Play is another cracking movie I had previously let slip by. Political drama with a star studded cast. An investigation is made after a senator's assistant is murdered and the police are helped along the way by journalists from the local press.

If you haven't seen the BBC miniseries it was adapted from you should definitely seek it out.

It's outstanding.

Funnily enough I thought there was similarities to the storyline of House of Cards and that too is based on a British drama.

I will look out for it, thanks.
