    Watched Honest Thief starring Liam Neeson. Pretty standard, modern day Neeson film. Not much too it.

    Watched Palm Springs last night, after spot-checking some very positive reviews. Romantic ground-hog day, 50 first dates, time-travel comedies are not generally my thing, but this was admittedly a lot of fun, with some genuine laughs. Struggling to find anything else worth watching on Prime.

    Some great stuff on it...but the interface is a mess, I watched sicario again recently and the green knight.

    Justwatch is handy

    If the 'Secrets in Their Eyes' film is the Argentinian original, this is terrific. (I didn't bother with the American remake).

    It is the remake which I see is meant to be decent but does say it compares unfavourably when compared to the original.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,064 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    I think the remake is meant to be fairly awful.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,711 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    I've seen it and thought it was brilliant but I didn't know it was a remake not that it should make any difference.

    Watched the Icelandic film 'Let Me Fall', a time shifting look on the spiral drug taking can have extracted from interviews of real life people and wrapped up in a lesbian romance.

    Obviously not a funhouse but a pretty decent drama, guy who directed it directed a few episodes of 'Trapped' and familar faces from that show pop up.

    Watched The Green Knight tonight. Enjoyed the first hour but it got a bit too trippy for me after that. Visually very impressive, think it was all filmed here too, but not for me on the whole.

    I happened upon a movie called Black Medicine via the “customers also watched” which I took notice because it had Orla Brady’s name on it

    Did a quick GOOGLE to see if it was an Irish film I hadn’t heard of - Northern Ireland crime film - and I say the guy on the cars list than the traveller criminal from Love/Hate is it as a thug.

    He seems to play criminals a lot - not doing much the reputation of travelers

    I heard "the Magicians" is worth a watch so had a gander for it on Prime. Only Season 2 is available, no Season 1. Anyone know wtf is going on there?



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,348 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    I'm based in the UK but I see 5 seasons of the SyFy series and then another series, which appears to be a reality show, which only has the second season available.

    Amazon can be a bit chaotic about which seasons it has and hasn't got. It still hasn't got any further seasons of Animal Kingdom, even thought its the only place it airs on this side of the Atlantic. They also have only season 2 of The Bridge (US version), but not season 1. A mess.
