I didn't know this existed until you posted about it - it's a really great show. Tufnell being the more in-your-face of the two compared to McCullum is a bit more reserved but very witty when he wants to be.

You are right though, really shows NZ's beauty and some of the backdrops for their golf games are stunning.

They mention in the last episode about Baz going to the UK, I'm assuming COVID may have delayed those plans but I'd happily watch another season of the two boys knocking about together.

Season 3 of fauda was bloody awesome. I'd give caliphate a go as well. That is still my favourite thing I watched on Netflix.

Beckett was like a weird version of The Fugitive. The Greek political story just seemed a bit of a random one for a fairly big budget film. JDW was good as always but his bent over run, jumping etc was channelling Harrison Ford's fugitive all day long for me.

Danny dyer movie 5.8 on IMDB, I think Ill pass on that one thanks.

Watched The Firm (1993, Tom Cruise) over the weekend. It clocks in at 2.5 hours, which is about 3/4 of an hour too long. It's very 1990s and has a strong plot which I couldn't guess how it would end.

The Raging Bile Duct · 16-08-2021 10:57am

Beckett is like a love letter to the thrillers of the 1970s. It has the same feel as them throughout with the cinematography used. I enjoyed it even if some of it was just a bit too contrived. Beckett's run near the end did look like when I'm running to the toilet and I'm trying to avoid soiling my pants.

Was just going to say much the same thing, serious 1970s vibe off it. The trailer made it look like like more of an action film than it is. Nice to see a hero barely able to stand up after getting the crap beat out of them over the course of the film, not something you see much in thrillers/action films these days anymore 😂 Really enjoyed it.

Watched The Equaliser after and it was ok but about 45 minutes too long.

Had seen the trailer and it looked interesting - if a little tinged with that "Foreign places are scary" aesthetic often seen in American thrillers. The name is deeply underwhelming though; "Beckett". 😁

Yeah there is a bit of that vibe about it alright, plus picking Greece as the setting was a bit odd...would have worked better if it was somewhere a bit more...eh....soviet I think.

Beckett is a dire, dire film. I'm not usually critical but with so many movies out there, I am disgusted that I wasted 2 hours of my life on that. I cannot see anything going for it. I was looking forward to a bit of a simple evening action film. But, God it was so fake. Is that Denzels son. Denzel needs to have a serious word. Talk about overacting. He was diabolical. I hadn't realised it was him in Tenet either. Was slightly better.

Some of the things that happened in the film was just so outrageous, you couldn't take it anyway seriously - jumping from a massive cliff, onto a tree, falls onto a rock ground and then just runs away. And that part where he jumps off the edge of the multistorey car-park. Dear God.

Funny thing is, Washington had the look on him that he was giving it socks, and was playing for a possible oscar nomination. I honestly cannot say anything positive about the movie. Towards the end I didn't know why he was being chased, and I didn't care. Just bring some conclusion to the film

For the first time in a long long time I turned off a movie after half an hour. Shockingly poor movie with bizarre music and an atmosphere that I’ve never experienced in a modern movie. No idea what the hell was supposed to be happening!

AlgerShane · 16-08-2021 10:40pm

If your a Karate Kid (1984) fan, then check out Cobra Kai. It rocks big time!

Really enjoyed " cocaine cowboys"....... very well made & edited. It's a great story......some twists & turns along the way.......I just love all the lawyers in it---- these guys look way more dodgy than the 'alledged' drug smugglers.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 18-08-2021 10:03pm

Few things I've watched over past few weeks.

The Mule: really enjoyed this, a lot of similarities to Gran Torino.

Secret City: Started off strong but faded as it went. Second season not as good as the first either but was still an interesting show.

Lupin: finally got around to this and loved it. Looking forward to the next season

Releasing one season of Lupin in two half was a silly move by Netflix, imo. We watched the first half really quickly, but the second half flew under my radar and I didn't know it was out till you just shared it.

It was a strange decision all right but I had wondered if it was simply another CoVid enforced one; that shooting or post production was delayed by the pandemic and they just split what they had.
