Movies and TV shows (general recommendation thread)

A thumbs up for "The Head" -- a series on HBOMax.  Its short - just six episodes.  I'm through four episodes and its very good if you like suspense/mysteries.

 

  If this was an American show, everyone would speak English all the time.

 

Anyway - this TV reviewer gives this one a big thumbs up!

But they would use accents!

"The Legend of Cocaine Island" ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8106596/?ref_=rt_li_tt ) - It's about investing. Really.  8)

 

Just started watching "The Barbarian Invasions" ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338135/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ) - can't go into politics here, but it's about our Canadian friends' healthcare system  8)

 

"The Trial of the Chicago 7" ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1070874/?ref_=rt_li_tt ) - peace bros!

This movie has special meaning to me (not because of healthcare). i hope you like it. Just in case it's not said, it's a sequel to a movie called The Decline of the American Empire. (not joking) 8)

I Care A Lot on Netflix. If you have elderly relatives in nursing homes or assisted living facilities it will really hit home. But otherwise a fairly entertaining movie with an interesting premise.

 

Hah, yes, looking forward to that one. All the angry IMDB reviews probably mean that I will enjoy it a lot.

 

We've been watching Bosch. Season one is a bit cheeky but two and three are better, imho. Some actors from the Wire, has a bit of the same vibe too in its best scenes. Though of course it's not nearly as good. Still, nothing is, and Bosch is very enjoyable.

Yes, we liked it. Started a discussion afterwards. Will watch "The Decline of the American Empire" sometime soon.

Great film. I've seen it 2 or 3 times.

i am dragging myself kicking and screaming through Vikings season 4 (on Amazon prime). Man, such bad writing, but i guess i need to finish it.

I did watch the "Courier" a spy movie set during the Cuban missile crisis. (very good movie). Cost as $14 USD, i locked that in with the FX being so low.

I am unsure if this last season has a part 2 to it. 

 

This season (Season 7) is officially the last season of Bosch on Prime.  Rumor is that a spin-off show is in the offing on something called IMDB TV.  Perhaps explains the ending to Bosch Season 7.

Dragging myself happily through Expanse Season 2.

What a novel story ! like to know how was the return on Church of Mormon long-term investment portfolio in the century that show is set, since they talk about Mormons. Did they beat inflation

 

The Mormon Church Amassed $100 Billion. It Was the Best-Kept Secret in the Investment World. - WSJ 

 

 

On a different note - new Dune trailer.

I must have read the original book 5 times, that is two times more than JRR Tolkein's Lord of the Rings books, which I set as my discount rate.

I hope it is better than the version with Sting.
