Three Identical Strangers was quite interesting
P.S. This COVID hits hard, and I've already re-watched Lord of the Rings and Hobbit second time this year. Need to wait at least 5-6 months to watch these masterpieces again

I love the Arctic regions, wish I was there much of the time. It's just so beautiful.
So, it is a mystery/drama type show with a touch of sci-fi set there and is pretty great. It's not a horror, although it has it's moments...
Yes, it is mostly in English, but due to the multi-national crew, the subtitles will be needed for most.

We watched that back in 2017 and it was a great movie.
Just rewatched "No Country for Old Men"
Great movie.
Great movie.
My 3rd favorite movie of that year. I actually still think There Will Be Blood and Michael Clayton were as good if not better. However I am mincing words over 3 of the best movies made in my lifetime.
The last scene from No Country For Old Men always stuck with me: As Tommy Lee Jones Speaks:
I do remember that one, but no, I haven't seen it.
Seems interesting if a little on the drama side for me.

This series of posts made me remember the two part series with Kenneth Branagh (on A&E in the USA I think) called "Shackelton."
I wish I could find a place online to watch this again. There are some short parts of it on YouTube, but I couldn't find the whole series. When I first saw it years ago, though, I thought it was great.
Branagh is not for everybody. I just happen to be a huge fan. His Avignon (St. Crispin) monologue in Henry V brings me to tears every time.

No, we have satellite TV because we're way out in the country. No cable out here.
damn, we are gonna have lockdown in a few weeks and this gem plus first season of Fargo are waiting
GL mate, I'm in WA state where it all started, and it has not gotten better. I'm used to being alone though.damn, we are gonna have lockdown in a few weeks and this gem plus first season of Fargo are waiting
I have a good cat, that makes me remrember that love and goodness stil exists, or I'd prolly have been incarcerated by now. =)
Recently saw Equalizer 2 with Washington. Me and Christy both felt it was an "alright" but not "great" movie. I liked the scene and lines when he rescued the boy from the gang bangers. "Who are you," one of the bangers asks him. "Boy, I'm your father, your mother just never told you about me."

If you haven't seen the series "Ozark" on Netflix, you might like that. I thought it was great. Three seasons, iirc.
"Broadchurch" was good, too. And "Bloodline."

"Peppermint" on Netflix.
"My Spy" on Prime
yeah, that is always good to have someone near you
i "cured" myself with biking hard in the countryside during the first lockdown and it really worked
idk what i am gonna do now without the gym and biking (too cold outside)
Can't recall off hand if Red Sparrow is on Netflix or Hulu. Agree with you though, it is getting rough to find anything to watch. Finishing up the last season of Becker on Pluto here.
Kind of dreading that too. Might have to go re-watch re-reruns of Midsomer Murders. :| I only like the ones with Jones in them. Especially love the whole, "You, ... slammed ... the ... door" scene.
Airy tv has Dukes of Hazard tv series and Hogan's Heroes but I'll try finding something. Nothing on Roku carries enough Andy to bother looking at it. There's also Three's Company on Pluto ... um, yeah but erm, I'll find something.

I took a quick look at "Peppermint" last night. Jennifer Garner, yes sir, I will be watching that. I know you didn't recommend it for me, but thanks anyway!
Recommending TV is kinda like recommending eliquid flavors. It's a matter of taste for sure. I have really enjoyed "The Crown" on Netflix, I liked 'Searching for Bobby Fischer." Somewhere I just saw "Beasts of the Southern Wild" that was great.
@MyMagicMist is it Pluto that has "In the Electric Mist" based on the James Lee Burke novel? Also I saw a listing for the first season of "True Detective" on one of these channels. That first season was really very good.
Nope, not Pluto but it is on Tubi for free w/ commercials. Tubi has a fair policy on commercials too.
Eh, on the Roku device one free episode of first season of True Detective is available. After that you need to subscribe to HBO, or buy it at $3 per episode on the following: Prime,Vudu (walmart), Fandango, Google Play, Apple TV.
Quirky enough I could subscribe to Apple Tv on the Roku device for $5 month. I would still need to pay $3 per episode for that show. HBO isn't coming off licensing rights too easily on it. They only agreed to let Roku have access to their view with a provider app again this month. Yep, was a big brew ha over that. HBO isn't wanting to play with other content providers.
I got to see that season on binge watching it a free on Direct TV weekend. Did not follow it after that season.
*ahem* Please don't go getting me addicted to soap operas again. I once poked fun at my grandma for her constant watching of General Hospital. Her reply was, "well sit down there and look at it for two minutes, Benny." Three weeks later I was rooting for Luke to beat Scorpio and kill Marco. Nope, nope, nope ... don't want to get addicted to soaps again.

My husband got all into "All My Children" for about six months. I had long before stopped watching it myself, but there he was, glued to the damn thing every day.
Now that I think it through, it was probably on HBO Max that I saw True Detective. I got a deal with DirecTV that included a free year of HBO Max, so I temporarily have it again. I tried to watch the second season of TD, Colin Farrell was in it I think, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first season.
I do see it available via Amazon Prime but, as you said, it's $2.99 per episode, or $22.99 for the season. I'm not paying for a show like that when there's so much free stuff to choose from.
I want Amazon to put the rest of James Lee Burke's Robicheaux novels on Kindle Unlimited. I could keep myself occupied for a while if they'd do that!

I will do that, thanks.
I had tickets to a couple of the events at the 96 Games in Atlanta and was there with my kids, but the events got rained out (one was a baseball game, can't even remember what else). They were postponed until the next day. I asked the kids if they wanted to wait in Atlanta for the games or head on to the beach at Savannah. Well, Savannah won out, and that decision was the only thing that kept us from being at the games when that bombing happened!
Just sat and binged a series on Netflix, The Liberator. It was excellent.
Looking at episode two of this series. You're 100% correct. They literally f**ked themselves but good.

Ok, I watched all the episodes of this. Turns out it was more of a tragedy than I realized. I LOVED Jack Huston in it - love him in everything I've seen him in - and it doesn't hurt my feelings at all that he's an absolute knockout. I despised Judith Light in it right up until nearly the end of the series, when she decided to act like a halfway decent person. Overall, I was kinda glued to it for a few days and I enjoyed watching it. I appreciate the recommendation very much.
However.
Hollywood might as well give it up, trying to get Southern US accents right. The Atlanta cast sounds pretty much just like the Murphy cast, and one of the only characters in the whole series who is anywhere close is the guy who plays the head ATF agent. The next closest character is Kathy Scruggs, but she's a little over the top as that Georgia-belle (although real Georgia belles ARE a little over the top). Also the man with cancer, who lived in the cabin in the woods, he must have been a native from around Murphy somewhere, because his voice was spot-on.
I've lived all over the South, and this is just a thing with me. There's a WORLD of difference in the way the people talk in the two main locales in this series. It just seems to me, with the length of time that movie-makers have been at work, they could have figured out how to find voice coaches that can get this RIGHT. It seems like when they do get it right, it's just accidental.
My nomination, still, for the WORST Southern accent ever attempted in a movie belongs to David Morse, one of the guards in "The Green Mile." It was even worse than Kevin Costner's five minutes of attempted English accent in the Robin Hood movie he did with Morgan Freeman.

The best pick ever! the first two chapters are legendary masterpieces. third is quite OK, 4th is total garbage
Haven't updated in a while.
Also watched WW84 last night, didn't think it was bad, but a bit slow at times, there is action, but not the normal super hero action packed movie though.
I watch a lot of the super hero movies multiple times, this won't be one of them though.

I tried watching WW84 a few nights ago, I fell asleep...
I did stay awake for the 2019 version of Midway. If you like historic war movies this is worth your time. Woody Harrelson did a good job as Adm. Nimitz.

Woody Harrelson, once he "got over himself" a little bit, has become a surprisingly good actor. I've always enjoyed watching his stuff, even when he was crude, but he's proven he can do serious roles, too.
Have to admit my favorite, or at least most memorable, scene of his was in "The Cowboy Way," where he walks naked (except for his boots, I think) out onto the porch of a cabin, covering his jewels with his cowboy hat. As he talks you realize he's making gestures with both hands, and his hat is still "suspended" in mid-air. Took me a second, then it was cute as hell.
I've been watching "City on a Hill" on Prime. Wow. It's a Ben Affleck/Matt Damon production, Boston cop drama with a plethora of f-bombs, but man is it ever good! I think I'm about halfway through it.
My misses has 2 movies she can watch a couple of times a year.
So today, she loves this one, we watched this. I'll admit that even when see says "hey lets watch Major Payne" I think really, again! But after 5 minutes im laughing my head off.
Her other is this and its usually on this time of year but hasn't showed up.
Guess I'll be ordereing it from the Library this coming week. Will admit again its a classic funny watch. Especially the Chiclet and baked bean scenes! "Mr Wilson!"

Saw this the other day. Hilarious! Ordered number 1 first but number 2 came before it.
Very funny.
