Boris the Blade Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I watched Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and just finished up Munich.Pretty much the anti Bond / Bourne spy films. I plan on watching The Lives of Others this weekend when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 ^^^I love Munich. I saw The Nice Guys today and really enjoyed it. Ryan Gosling's character was funny as hell and him and Russell Crowe really clicked. The young daughter was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelborn Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I just watched 10 Cloverfield Lane. Long story short, that movie kicked my ass, in a good way. The suspense throughout the film was great and the ending was the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relationship between sisters is so rarely a focus point of an adventure, fairy-tale. A positive one in particular. And I really liked how the fantasy/heroic aspects were handled, the music,etc. Oh, yes, I definitely thought the relationship between the two sisters being the focus instead of having a man rescue one or both of the ladies. That was great. I'm just a bit emotionally deadened at the moment, sorry.

Stunning productions of Shakespeare's history plays with the final part being Richard III this weekend. R3 is played by Benedict Cumberpatch and the cast is a role call of the greatest British actors. We all know that GRRM was influenced by them and the Wars of the Roses, but seeing these BBC productions really brings it home just how much he took from them. We are recording this. Pretty excited for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Henry VI Part I which I thought was very good so I hope you enjoy when you watch too! The BBC really got some great and talented actors on board for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I watched Green Room, by the guy who made the rather good Blue Ruin. It was a thrilling little movie actually, pretty tightly put together, kind of gripping and features Patrick Stuart as a middle aged Nazi. Gotta love that.

GallowKnight Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I watched Assault on Precinct 13, which was great and served to further solidify my love for John Carpenter's his 70s and 80s output. Plus it has an excellent Carpenter scored soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 As I am paying for HBO NOW for the Game of Thrones season, I decided to look around the site to see if there was anything else to watch. All The Way was up on it. It is the story of LBJ and his first year in office. All I have to say is that Brian Cranston is a national treasure and there is not enough awards to give this man. The movie is amazing, and surprisingly topical today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie is amazing, and surprisingly topical today. Because I'm paying for HBO, I watched Wagons East on-demand yesterday. Always thought it was supposed to be terrible because of John Candy's sudden death while filming, and unfortunately it was just as bad as I thought it would be. He did look terribly unhealthy in his very first scene in the movie; he'd never been a small man, but I think that was the largest I ever saw him. Makes me wonder if his health would have turned around if the studio hadn't forced him to do the movie. I feel like I need to cleanse my palate and watch Uncle Buck.

Martell Spy Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Kinda been a dry spell, but I'll be watching some AMC coming up. Preacher tonight, Turn tomorrow, and the Night Manager finale on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Making my way through the first season of Better Call Saul. Pretty good show. I'm surprised how well it's holding up as I don't have a high opinion of spin-offs. Shame on me for doubting Odenkirk. Aside from the wit and scams, I really like the way the show returns the viewer to Albuquerque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromech Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Finished The Night Manager. It was decent, but you had to suspend disbelief to believe some things which occurred. Richard Roper may be one of the most naïve arms-dealers I've seen portrayed. However, I loved Hiddleston ordering a vodka martini in the last episode. He'll make a great Bond.

GallowKnight Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I watched John Carpenter's The Fog. It was great and qualifies for a solid fifth place on my top5-John-Carpenter-movies-list. It wasn't really scary but it had a great atmosphere, a good story, and some neat special effects and creature design. Although the characters was kinda forgettable and the movie could have used a bit more mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 We finished Les Revenants. It really did tail off at the end, just like my friends said it did. I mean, it tied up some of the loose ends. But it still left some questions unanswered for me. Usually I don't mind ambiguity and not knowing everything but in this case I am a little unsatisfied. Mostly because the second season was just slower and more muddled than the first one. The soundtrack is still bloody brilliant though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Watched the first two episodes of Maria Bamford's show Lady Dynamite on Netflix. Awesome and absurd and delightfully meta in just the right places. I have a feeling I'm going to really love this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 On the last episode of S1 Better Call Saul. I'm loving the show. "One little Chicago sunroof and all of a sudden I'm Charles Manson!?" It's got the perfect mix of drama and humor and the characters are all great. The scene between Jimmy and Chuck in the penultimate episode was also very heartfelt. It feels so much like Breaking Bad.. almost like that show didn't end and it really did just change POVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
