    I must have been in a real bad mood on Friday night when I watched this. I didn't laugh once. It had no action. You could sum up the plot in five sentences. When I finished it, I was wondering what kind of movie it was trying to be.

    awh!!! One man’s dirt is another man’s treasure and all that!
    gave under Paris a go there! Not bad at all! Kinda like a more sophisticated sharknado!

    Watched first episode of Eric, it's clearly a well made show but I really don't want to keep watching if it's going to depict child abuse and/or death. Could someone let me know with spoilers if that's the case or even if it's a happy ending ultimately. Not in the right headspace to watch something like that right now

    Great series, keep watching, great acting, yes the characters in it are not very nice, apart from Marlons mum and the cop Ledroit, it really brings back the 80s with the music and the puppets….plus New York and the homeless, poverty etc

    Enjoying the new hitler series, there's one or two parallels pointed at in a subtle manner (!?) to modern day things but all in its a good series on its own merits



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 394 ✭✭RurtBeynolds


    Hit Man is not a good movie.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,760 ✭✭✭Damien360


    It's a movie of 2 Half's. First half can be funny and is decent. Then it just looses it's way and became a bore fest. Stuck it out but I'd struggle to recommend.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,526 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    It is really awful...cliche upon cliche...bad acting..dodgy CGI... thoroughly enjoyed it! The last 25 minutes is bonkers.

    Some of the other suggested titles are brilliant!

    I expect sequels!

    "How to Rob a Bank" tells the story of an unlikely bank robber who went on a spree in Seattle in the 1990s. From a middle-class family, he never attracted police attention. He walked into the banks and walked out with bags of their cash.

    As usual, the FBI role is magnified and they give us an implausible theory about how they finally caught up with their man. I think the story is simpler - the cops were tipped off and they had a tracker in the stolen cash. Either way, it is a fascinating time capsule and well worth watching the single episode.

    When was the last major bank robbery in Ireland? Lots of cash in transit robberies but not banks themselves, I think. I assume that is because security at the branches have made it too risky.

    Our recommend is GRISELDA.

    Queenpin. Innovator. Mother. Killer. Griselda is a woman of substance. From creative minds who brought you Narcos comes Griselda

    Apparently losely based on a true story/character.

    We are on the last episode so no spoilers :D

    Watched first episode of Eric, Jaysus hard hitting stuff, New York looks like a horrible kip at the time and father is such a nasty character, but so well acted.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,827 ✭✭✭appledrop


    Don't waste your time on Ashley Madison, pile of crap. If it was just one episode o would have said yeah grand but 3 episodes basically just loads of filler material.

    The moral of the story is to stay away from all those religious types in America as they are the worst for the affairs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,135 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    I thought the original ashley madison doc(dirty secrets) was much better, more on Biderman and his affair also along with the wholesome josh duggar who's now in jail

    The lastest one was crap, not sure why it was even released.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,729 ✭✭✭jj880


    Netflix's documentaries are hit and miss. Some top drawer and others more like box ticking efforts: "We've that covered no need to look elsewhere". The Sophie Du Plantier docuseries was the same for me. Sky's version is vastly superior.

    Enjoyed this:

    Very interesting and well made I thought.

    Secret Diary of a Call Girl is a great watch. 20 minute episodes mean you’ll whizz through them. Billie Piper is just perfect. Well done her for taking on the role.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,827 ✭✭✭appledrop


    Eric is outstanding, honest to god I've cried about 8 times watching it for all different reasons but don't want to give anything away.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭Spon Farmer


    Netflix don’t even promote new content on their app or browser.

    SUPACELL was added in the last couple of days. No mention of it on the home screen and the only reason I know it exists is that happened to be read Empire Magazine.

    Same happened with COWBOY BEBOP.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,882 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Supacell sounds good! Thanks for the heads up, like you I'd heard nothing about it from Netflix



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,732 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I occasionally check the new and upcoming section of Netflix to see what's new or coming so saw it mentioned there. Or sites like just watch or flixable.

    But then the "recently added" section seems to only have new releases show up a day or 2 later. Unless it's some new reality show then they make sure you're aware of it.

    it does seem that customers have to promote contain to other users. ;)

    Prime and Netflix have good stuff but as mentioned above the UI is muck.

    Thumbs up and thumbs down have no affect on my profile, tagging stuff I’m not interested in has no affect either. And on Prime, the thumbs up and down show for every episode even when I’ve already selected it. I thought it was to rate each episode but clicking up just unlikes a show.

    There will never be any improvements though because only a massive loss of subscribers citing the UI as the reason would be the only way it would change and that won’t happen.

    The creator mentioned Misfits in the Empire interview. I don’t remember exactly what he said but something like it is one of the inspirations and a comparison with MISFITS was inevitable because it is regular British people with powers but MISFITS is more of a comedy, while this is a serious superhero show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭Spon Farmer


    I’m looking forward to this. Read a brief spoiler free review about it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,309 ✭✭✭Spon Farmer


    I watched the first episode of SUPACELL.

    It is really good.

    There are a few characters (Tazor and his gang, and other “yutes”) that I couldn’t understand at all because of the accents and slang.

    Subtitles kept appearing randomly even though the option was OFF. I would go to English SDH and back to OFF and they’d stop showing however where ever a song was playing in the background they’d turn back on. Captions were also appearing whenever there was a sign.

    Scavengers reign is absolutely mesmeric and amazing. Highly recommended



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,066 ✭✭✭Nigzcurran


    Just finished Ripley, absolutely superb TV

    Time is contagious, everybody's getting old.

    The troubled Maggie Cole - Dawn French is the main character, darkish, comedy drama.

    She gets interviewed on a radio station about the history of her small local community but ends up getting drunk and basically spills the gossips on everyone in the village - few twists, not all is what it seems to be!

    GGood easy watch, def recommend it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,122 ✭✭✭secondrowgal


    Watched Beverly Hills Cop, Axel F last night. About what you would expect from a BHC movie, so thoroughly enjoyable with a bowl of popcorn.

    Eddie Murphy hasn't aged a day!

    But once you get over recognising all the old characters. It’s just a car-smashing borefest.
