Set in 73 Yom Kippur war, unfortunately the events are still quite relevant. Expand She's arguably the greatest British actress of all time in my opinion...and there's a lot of them to choose from. Maybe Winslet will replace her when she's done, but for now she makes it always look so easy like Meryl Streep. Also seems like an amazingly easy going person. Cheers!
Spekulatius Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 I wasn’t that big of a fan of “Reptile” although I like Benicio de Toro’s work. “They cloned Tyrone “ was imo a way better movie released by Netflix.
UK Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Not a bad movie about the beginning of McDonald's, kinda investing related:). Scene about land:

Expand I'm on a vacation and Netflix diet currently, so I haven't had time to watch it. Can't wait to watch it though. Hope it's as underrated and dark as Reptile.

james22 Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 It's one thing to sip Galliano on a nice day and watch the girls go by. But it can get cold and damp and the girls put on coats.

Spekulatius Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 Just realized that Everything Everywhere all at once is available on Prime Video now. What a great movie and it fits the season: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.9d433401-4b4f-4737-9ec7-ce92e6b313f2?autoplay=0&ref_=atv_cf_strg_wb
formthirteen Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 Interesting that AI can already be used to create better trailers than Disney's, short movies next, then full-length ones: Feels weird watching a 107-year old Irish farmer talking about life almost 200 years ago and one of the very first machines and saying ”How could it be done at all?”:

Villeneuve’s Dune is great because his style meshes well with the way Frank Herbert set the Dune universe. David Lynch’ did as well but the movie was butchered by the studio. The great news however is not Dune 2 trailer, the great news is that Villeneuve will be making Dune Messiah (the second book) as the closing third chapter of the Dune trilogy. Historically Dune Messiah was always suppose to be part of the first book but in the 60s the book editor forced Herbert to cut it out as a separate book as it was anticlimactic. Spoiler alert: Paul becomes insane and falls from grace. the book editor could not have a story with a sad ending, where Paul Atrides becomes the very thing he had try to destroy. It was too much for a Western audience, where good-bad guys needs to binary.

Expand I need to withdraw this recommendation. This show is total garbage. The first season started well but then devolve into “they” the faceless bad guys that are corporate investors in London. It is like watching X-files. second season is all about shifting alliances, without the grace of Game of Thrones. avoid this like the plague
valueventures Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 Has anyone watched The Boys in the Boat yet? Looks good and definitely on my watchlist.

rkbabang Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Just finished “BitConned” on Netflix. Wow, this is a must see. It’s a documentary on a group of crypto con artists from 2017. I must have said “Oh my god” like 15 times while watching it. The brass balls on these guys. Highly recommended.
