Just watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for the first time. Man, what an excellent film. Brilliant cast.

One of my all time favourite movies. I've watched it too many times though.

Another brilliant one is The Admiral: roaring currents - Korean movie. It's shocking how good it is. Not sure if it's on Netflix though.

I found it over hyped. Not on Netflix now , but keep an eye out for other Wuxia movies like Hero (2002 , Jet Li) and House of Flying Daggers , and when you've watched enough Wuxia that you know the rules , treat yourself to Kung Fu Hustle

Hero is amazing, probably my favourite of the lot. Haven't seen it in years though, doesn't seem to be on any streaming platforms, unfortunately. I remember there was some buzz about it being Chinese govt propaganda or something about Zhang Yi Mou (the director) I can't remember but I doubt the visuals and sequences would age much. It's a truly beautiful film.

I have to check out House of Flying Daggers!

One of his more recent ones is on Netflix, called Shadow. Thought it was decent enough though not as good as Hero or House of Flying Daggers, great visuals again though.

Shaun the Sheep sounds like it's a major change from the tv series. 😮

So looks like you can post blank comments and can't edit your posts

And you can't edit quoted posts. It's all or nothing as a I tried to quote only that part of Peteeeed's post

Heist was really good,netflix didn't drag the story out like usual in those documentaries.

Hercule Poirot · 18-07-2021 12:45PM

Watched Aquaman yesterday because I was dying after my second jab on Friday, it's not terrible.

The big reveal for me was School of Rock which I'd never seen before - such a great film; I love, love, loved it!

Yep we watched school of rock recently and thought it was excellent, very surprised as not normally a Jack black fan

The Serpent is worth a watch. Eight part series With Jenna Coleman based on a true story.

cdgalwegian · 18-07-2021 08:56PM

Finished Katla- Icelandic mystery series with an "is it science or supernatural" chain of events. Slow, but very intriguing. Despite the constant grim meteorological background, a very enjoyable show.

CastorTroy · 18-07-2021 08:57PM

Might have a look at The Descent to see if it's the proper version or the American edit.

Just finished it ... absolutely amazing show, couldn't recommend it enough !!

Jenna Coleman was great but Tahar Rahim who plays the protagonist Charles Sobraj was next level imo.

Best show I've seen in a while, give it a watch if you're into true crime, serial killers, drama, thrillers etc etc

Ferris_Bueller · 18-07-2021 09:41PM

https://boards.ie/discussion/comment/117629809#Comment_117629809

Yep I agree completely, watched the full series over the last week or so and thought it was one of the best shows I've watched in Netflix in a while. It's a fascinating story which is largely true, some parts I suspected were too over the top to be accurate but surprisingly most of it is accurate. Couldn't believe I had never heard of this serial killer before.

Storyline is very interesting but the cast and the setting (mainly Thailand/South East Asia) make it really good too.

Agreed about Tahar Rahim's stellar performance.

I started it last night with the gf and we were both instantly hooked so we went all the way and finished it today

superb acting and a thrilling experience throughout

A definite must watch

I'm on Episode 5 of "The Cook of Castemar". 18th century Spanish language historical drama based on the novel of the same name. The Lord Diego of Castemar is a minister in King Philip Vs government. King Philip is going mad, and Lord Diego is asked by him to take on more decision making, which takes a lot of persuasion because he has been mourning his late wife who died in a riding accident.

There are some LGBT characters, which is interesting in a century when homosexuality was a capital offence. Lord Diego is also under pressure to remarry, in some cases for political reasons by nobles who see him as politically useful to have as an ally. But the cook also has her eye on him. 18th century class politics around marriage between nobles and commoners however may prevent this going anywhere, though it's only Episode 5 but so far she keeps bringing this up.

The lives of the palace servants are a major theme of the series. Their stories are covered a bit like an early 1700s Downton Abbey or Upstairs Downstairs.
