gonna checkout Greyhound tonight

 

[HoustonCuse]

Just saw Knives Out. Wasn't super impressed by it. Maybe had too big of expectations as I've read such glowing things about it. Thought it was sort of meh.

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner with David Chang and a celebrity visiting a city on Netflix is good.
His series "Ugly Delicious" gets a little preachy and argumentative in a food snob kind of way, because the co-star is a NY Times restaurant reviewer who helped make Chang and Momofuku famous, and later wrote a cookbook together. Those shows were kind of clunky. Too food nerdy.

But the new series is really fun. First episode is David and Seth Rogen getting baked and then wandering around Vancouver eating tons of foods at all sorts of places. Who knew that Vancouver in the 1980s and earlier was a haven for Chinese and other Asian immigrants? Great show, Give it a try,

Will do. Thx for tip.

greyhound for a failry low budget movie was pretty intense, good job of showing how hectic it was during the battles. not really any super creative story, but very watchable

[chugg21]

Watched Waves yesterday on a flight. Had read it was great and it was. Pretty appropriate for our current times as well.

Don’t think I have seen any, so I suppose that is an answer.

I recommend Kung Fu Hustle. Campy, funny, Lots of action, and stylish in a Kung fu sort of way. Directed by Stephen Chow who also directed Shaolin Soccer, another classic. It’s on Netflix.

Watch it - you won’t regret it.

Hilarious stuff.

Watched Athlete A tonight. Extremely disturbing, but a very powerful documentary.

 

[Briancuse]

Just finished The Hunt and it was fantastic. Loved it. Surprising first 10 minutes.

Would love some sort sequel or even a prequel.

Also watched Scoob, kind of had to since scooby is my favorite cartoon of all time and man was it a let down. Animation was great and scooby voice but man the plot was weak, the opening like 10-15 minutes was decent but man it lacked hard core after that.

Is the Hunt on Netflix?

 

[Eric15]

Has anyone here watched The Nightingale? It's very intense but might be the best movie I've watched in the past 5 years.

 

[Eric15]

Is that the movie based on the book?

I don't believe so. It takes place in Tasmania when it was a British penal colony.

How about a Charles Bronson Action set:

The Magnificent 7
The Great Escape
The Dirty Dozen

All within a very tight timeframe.

If you like The Magnificent 7, try and find the original: The Seven Samarai by Kurasawa. Same story, different place and time. There were other westerns based on Kurasawa's flims, also. A Fist Full of Dollars was a remake of Yojimbo. While The Magnificent 7 and The Seven Samarai are comparable, Yojimbo is a better movie than A Fist Full of Dollars.

I don't believe so. It takes place in Tasmania when it was a British penal colony.

 

[Bulldog04]

Banana Split - the latest movie filmed in Syracuse just released on Netflix. Very raunchy, but pretty funny. It’s like girl version of Superbad but some cool Syracuse scenes in it - Heids, otro Cinco, palace theatre, old Liverpool high school and a few others ...

 

[Forza Azzurri]

Will do. Thx for tip.

So, I watched Narcos Mexico and am now watching Narcos (both on Netflix)...

The former is about the growth of the drug trade in Mexico during the mid-eighties and the rise of Felix Gallardo.

The latter is about the birth, and growth, of the cocaine trade in Columbia in the late 70s and into the 80s. It focuses (so far) on Pablo Escobar.

Both shows are reality-based shows. Think 75% entertainment, 25% documentary.

Holy Christ. What Escobar did to the country of Columbia. Basically able to start a brutal civil war. Fascinating.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

watched Train to Busan last night. pretty solid zomie movie that i have never heard of..

Got to watch this on the plane home Friday. Well done movie.

 

[GooseMutt]

Watch Yellowstone. And Bloodline

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

The coolest thing I have seen in a few years is " They Shall not Grow Old." A Peter Jackson masterpiece.
Due to timing of the release, it wasn't eligible for the Oscars.

They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) - Awards - IMDb

Watch Yellowstone. And Bloodline

Bloodline is a Top 5 show of all time for me.

Not a movie but anyone watch the Social Dilemma on Netflix? Makes you think.

I really liked the Columbia/Escobar seasons of Narcos. The Mexico seasons, not so much. But, if you like those, try ZeroZeroZero on Amazon. Really good stuff.

I just happened to watch Narcos Mexico first. And, I enjoyed it.

But Narcos blew it out of the water. Had I watched Narcos first, Narcos Mexico would have been a letdown.
