Liam neeson looks set to retire from his action movie career, think he will still make other movies just not action ones.

I think he'll go down the Micheal Caine route of being the cool/ wise advisor to the protagonist, might even get a few of his own Harry Brown-esque films. I think aul' Liam will be alright.

He'll be back when someone kidnaps his daughter.

Honest Thief getting mixed reactions here. Some say decent enough. Some say absolutely garbage. I often meant to throw it on for some easy watching. And then a negative comment just about puts me off. And I start convincing myself that there is much better stuff out there to watch.

Granddaughter would probably make for a more realistic story....:rolleyes:

Morning Glory starring Rachel McAdams and Harrison Ford. Young new producer joins a morning show with the hope of increasing the viewing ratings and looks for help from an old washed up news anchor.

Well worth a watch imo.

Some good Comedies i would recommend:

TAG

Watched this yesterday, alot funnier than I thought it was going to be.

S.M.B. · 18-01-2021 05:41PM

Tag is one of those movies where every time it comes up I have to go check and see if I've already watched it before.

Turns out I have not.

That film isn’t currently on Netflix (Ireland), you might have to try another provider or check out a different film.

Instant Family

Rose Byrne and Mark Whalberg adopt 3 kids, basically.

Watched this tonight and found it surprisingly great. I say surprisingly because it's got Mark Whalberg in it. But it's genuinely funny and heartfelt and doesn't veer into cheesy or manipulative despite the subject matter. The 3 kids are all great and it's just a nice little watch if you don't want anything too heavy but still want something good.

budgemook · 18-01-2021 11:29PM

This is a great site to find where you can get the movie you want.

Also there is a really good Netflix thread here on boards.

The Meg seems to be on Amazon Prime or can be rented from Google / iTunes etc.

Thanks for that
I need something like that this week !
I actually quite like Mark Wahlberg too

Anyone looking to watch a great tv show, Ozark is well worth it! :-) Keeps you at the edge of your seat.

So so late in the game but really enjoyed watching Derry Girls. Great cast, and I thought the pilot was one of the strongest I've seen in a while. The main gal can go overboard with he face acting sometimes but I got used to it and may just really be a character choice lol

Just finished the first season, but watching the second one on the All4 app as that's not yet on Netflix.

Some of the music is different on the Netflix episodes. The scene in the last episode of S1 where Orla's doing her step routine was Like a Prayer on the original airing but was a Take That song on Netflix. I know why that happens but it's a bit annoying when the song choices are so well done on the series.

Oh that's interesting, just rewatched it there again. Good thing they didn't change 'Dreams' to bookend the season though, thank god, I unashamedly love that song. (Yes even in You've Got Mail, lmao)

It's licensing issues, and has been happening for a while. Often the songs in the originals are tied in to make sense, but the replaced songs don't make any sense at all.
I noticed it a few years ago with a show my sister told me to watch, and there was a God awful song in one of the scenes where a guy repeated the lyrics over and over again (and it made no sense to the scene). About 2-3 months later the same episode was on TV and I noticed something was different, thought it was the music but wasn't sure.

There are a load of articles about it, here's one

Yep, I know why it happens, but it's still annoying.

Really enjoying Call My Agent. It took me a series and a half to realise that the French movie stars they’re representing are real French movie stars!

I also learned that the French movie business is the second biggest in the world after the US. Can you name one French movie you’ve watched? :rolleyes:

DonnaNol · 19-01-2021 07:56AM

The end of the F*** world. A little bit naive, but still my favorite.

Not sure if it's ever been mentioned in this or the previous threads, but Trailer Park Boys is quite possibly one of the funniest shows ever made.

They've done around 12 seasons of live action, and now it's switched over to an animated series (and even how they deal with the switchover to animation from live action is utterly brilliant).

The term 'Off the Wall' is used a lot to describe things, but for Trailer Park Boys, it really is justified.

I'd recommend anyone that has never watched any of it to give it a go.

Far too many highlights to mention.....

Addle · 19-01-2021 09:00AM

We watched Damsel last night and thought it was good. Robert Pattinson is excellent.

"I am the liquor Randy"

Was a big fan but like a lot of these things it ran its course a while back. Admittedly I have not seen the animated show.

Season's 1 - 5 are top notch.

The latter seasons certainly weren't as good as what came before, and the introduction of some newer characters probably diluted it somewhat, but still as hair brained as ever, and still worth the watch in my opinion (particularly season 12, when they 'transition' into cartoons at the end of it).

It probably got a little too big for its boots when the likes of Snoop Dogg & Tom Arnold show up for a few episodes..

I've only watched 2 episodes of the animated series, but so far they were very good, and perhaps the new lease of life the series needed, as they can do so much more now that they are animating it (including keeping Jim Lahey, despite John Dunsworth sadly passing away)

You don’t mess with the Zohan is hilarious!!!!! One of my favourite Adam Sandler films.

Started to watch Bridget Jones Diary with the family. We gave up after 20 mins. I was never a fan but it really has not aged well.
