In your opinion is it anything like “the boys” ?
Character/plot/narrative similar?

Nope other than both have comedy elements. Mrs. Maisel is very witty, smart writing - there's no violence other than sharp lines that could cut. She's an upcoming comedian in 1950's New York from a well-to-do household who uses comedy to vent / rant about her life. There's a story arc of her career but there's no villain, no big bad organisation and the cast is smaller. It's more character focused too. Both great shows but Mrs. Maisel is the better one for my tastes.

Amazing series from the outset.
Think marvel / avengers / DC and make it x rated violence.
No holds barred of gore , great character development, edge of the seat one more episode viewing.

Very recommended

If you aren't put off by animation......I would really recommend Invincible on Amazon prime it is along the same lines and is cracking

Quick Question: Can i record programmes/movies off amazon prime (and other streaming services for that matter)

You can download them on a device, if that’s what you want? I believe that they are only available as long as the program is available on the platform - I.e. if it leaves Amazon then the “recording” is also gone, but this happens on Sky too as far as I know (happy to be corrected!)

The Report (2019) stars Adam Driver & Annette Bening. It tells the story of Daniel Jones, the Senate staffer responsible for the compilation of the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture.

It seems we fell into a series of 9/11 related films - between Zero Dark Thirty (which gets a feature in the movie), The Mauritanian & this film.

Compared to the foregoing movies, it delves into the background of the CIA's actions, how they were approved, who was behind them etc.

Far from an "entertaining" watch, but definitely a strong film.

Heard a great description of it. Pretty much every anti war film manages to glamorize war to some extent or create entertainment out of horror. The Report avoided that entirely and presented facts, in a very blunt way but effectively imho. Really liked it.

I watched "What Drives Us" tonight, I did enjoy it but made me realise how much I miss going to gigs and concerts

I've been watching the Fast & Furious films in order over the last week so I can suspend disbelief with the best of them but this was utter sh1te. I gave up. I hope they all died in the end.

I wouldn't really bother very very average.
Disappointing given cast (who have been good in other films but are horrible here) writers (one is Taylor Sheridan) and clearly a decent budget.

Watched that a few nights ago. It's really good. I didn't notice any lull or drop of pace. Didn't even know it was over the 2 hour mark until I just looked it up there.

Guy who plays Slahi put in a great performance.

I could easily see a sequel being made, Amazon need a big franchise to compete with Disney/Netflix.

Watched The Mauritanian last night. Overall a solid watch but suffers and all too familiar problem for many Hollywood films from the last few years in that it's twenty minutes too long.

The torture scenes are particularly distressing. Jolie Foster and Tahar Rahim deliver very good performances but Benedict Cumberbatch who I do like is horribly miscast.

In fairness, I've seen multiple ads for it this week on TV. Looks like the kind of sh1te to keep me occupied late at night with the brain switched off.

Terence Rattigan

John Clark, a Navy SEAL, goes on a path to avenge his wife's murder only to find himself inside of a larger conspiracy.

What a unique plotline! Does he go on the run when he is fitted up for his wife`s murder?

That's kind of my point. I only really watch sport on TV but was still bombarded with ads for this.

I've had an ad for it nearly each time I've opened TikTok, and had several pre-rolls of it on YouTube.

I see Without Remorse is up today with the usual Prime fanfare (or lack thereof). We need some middle ground between Prime's "find it/stumble on it yourself" attitude and Netflix's approach of we think you'll like this tv show/movie that just so happens to be our latest middle of the road production and matches your taste....honest.
