Sterling Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Narcos is great. Going to binge season 2 soon. Westworld however is on the Game of Thrones / Breaking Bad level. Just can't get enough of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2fan Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The series Goliath was my latest binge watch all eight episodes in one sitting LOL. Billy Bob Thorton, William Hurt, Molly Parker, Maria Bello and Dwight Yoakam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckewley Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Been a fan of theirs since the mid 80's, their latest show Fool Us is fantastic. Penn & Teller are still as good as they ever were, some truly amazing acts that will make you scratch your head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuro2 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 On Netflixs, The Crown. Like Downton Abbey with big production and excellent acting but looking at the rise of Queen Elizabeth. Also like DA, chronicles what was happening at that time. An excellent show to watch with the Mrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckewley Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Watched 2 films lately.... I really enjoyed the hell out of this. Not as good as Olympus Has Fallen, in the over the top, flag waving, recite the "Pledge of Allegiance" kind of way but I was entertained non the less. Might make my top 10 of the year. Number 2 I enjoyed this one but can't put my finger on why it wasn't great!, Costner was good, but not great as he was in 3000 Miles To Graceland, all the actors were good, direction was solid, story was Lo-Fi Sci-Fi but fun, liked it but something was missing?

GBW Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Costner's in TO right now filming something new. I've seen a few movies as of late using kodi on the laptop but nothing is standing out as "great" or "must see". I'll check those 'fallen' films tomorrow night if I feel like a movie night.

Moosebunk Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I just rewatched all of them. It is amazing how much detail I missed in the first season , which lets you know why things are happening in the following seasons. Great show Had watched the first 5 seasons while in Nunavut last winter. Got home, told Bren she's gotta check it out, she got hooked, and so ended up re-watching it all again... Almost as good the second time and you're right Terry. Finishing up Luke Cage which is so-so. Just finished Marco Polo and Suits which I thought were both good. Need to get back onto Narcos. Walking Dead died for me a few seasons back but, it's my 17 years old's favorite show and part of our weekly quality time and convos so it good that this season they've taken it up a notch. So far been liking most of it. Dana Carvey's recorded stand-up show had me laughing through one morning too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have watched both, Ya Kevin was not the best I have seen him do. Different roll. I think his best were, JFK and Dances with wolves. As for Morgan, he is my favorite male actor. Just watched an older movie tonight . Lean On me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-BtlogDhTg Like I said before, not much into these on going series. Really enjoy finding old movies. Anyone see Mr.Church ? Eddie Murphy does a great job in this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wySiVNV71IQ Not every movie needs to make the big screen to be good or great.

Old Ironmaker Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I just watched a great little movie from 2005 on APTN last week. It was so compelling I watched it through those waste of life things selling stuff. The 3 Burials of Malaquides Estrada staring Tommy Lee Jones, Barry Pepper and a young skinny January Jones of Mad Men fame and Melissa Leo, she's great in everything she does in my mind. I didn't recognize January Jones right off the Bat. Based on real events and normally I would end it there but obviously that character dies and is buried 3 times. Estrada is killed by a Border Patrol Agent and it is Rancher Jones pal. He finds out who killed him and he makes Peppers character take the body to Mexico to be properly buried. You have to see it. I don't know how I missed it as I am a bit of a movie buff. It has sex, no drugs and no rock and roll and it is still a great movie. I speak a bit of Spanish and I was surprised that Tommy Lee Jones spoke perfect Spanish/Mexican in the movie. Man can he handle a horse, no stunt guy, he showed off riding a bit. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised I think he is a Texan. Thanks for the trailers ckewley. I did see a few of them. I saw Batman/Superman on the Movie Chanel Saturday and I was surprisingly entertained. I read nothing but bad reviews for it so didn't bother to rent it. I could not believe the muscle mass on Ben Affleck, can that be done with CGI rather than anabolic steroids? You don't get that big working out with very heavy weights, a great diet and a great trainer 5 days a week for a year straight. It takes years to get that big naturally, years not months. There's only 1 magic pill for that. It was entertaining which is what a movie is supposed to do. Some people expect a movie to change their lives and it doesn't so they pan it. Neon Demon was on the other night, I tried to get through it but not for me. My wife who is a strange woman loved it and Lobster too. Favorite movie of the year Deadpool. It had the same vibe as Guardians of the Galaxy. Comic book Action comedy ridiculous category. Deadpool has a chance to win an Oscar for Best Movie and will be the first Comic Book based movie to do that and there have been a few great Batman's made. I said a few pages before I didn't see anything I really liked but have seen a few new movies for free since that I really liked. Jason Bourne was OK, that's about it, maybe I wasn't in the mood. He is massive in this movie too. Maybe he and buddy Ben worked out together and shared their Gatorade laced with Testosterone.

Old Ironmaker Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 ckewley, on your post #92 there is a trailer for Corruption. It feels like a porno you could only see on Younge Street back in the seedy days of Younge Street. Look at the guy sitting at the head of the table on the left side of the shot. It could be Vince Vaughn's Father. Something that would never get past editing today is the round shinny Art? on the wall behind the actress. In many shots of her it looks like a big shinny hat or a halo. I love those old 70's and 80's flicks. So bad they are good. Like the show on Spike TV. Americas Worst Tenants, something like that. Man it is so bad a "reality TV" show I can't wait till it airs. Today a tenant had a horse in her bedroom, but the steroid laced investigator never noticed the smell, they only realized there was a horse crapping on the bedroom floor after they opened the door. Then they had to pull down an exterior wall to get it out. How did she get it in, maybe it was a baby horse then. Wowza, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was directed by Roger Watkins who directed the infamous exploitation classic The Last House On Dead End Street (not to be confused with Last House On The Left) that DVD has the uncut version of Last House as a extra which is a extremely rare film to see. Oh & as a kid growing up on the seedy streets of Toronto I truly miss those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Currently excited to follow the new season of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but based on the first two episodes so far.....Im not really impressed. The show has been amazing but after 12 years i think its finally getting a little stale. Pretty amazing considering it usually only takes a series 4-5 seasons to burn out if that. Still funny, still following it, but its lost a little something. Kinda like a legendary band still trying to put out new music but just not able to recreate the hits like they used to. Having said that, Any fans of the show should check out Sweet D's new series ........"The Mick".......Its hilarious Im also a "dead head"..........not the grateful kind but the walking kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 For a myriad of reasons I'm stuck here all day. Like not having my car keys. I slept zero last night so there won't be any power tools or changing the light switches I have to do. There are a few pay per views available and if anyone has seen any of these and can recommend them I thank you. I dislike paying 7 bucks plus goof tax to watch a flic that stinks. My choices I've narrowed it down to are these: Birth of a Nation The Account ant Peculiar Children Solace Before I Wake Any recommendations all? cewley, I sort of miss the seedy days of the city. Things changed when they built the Eaton Centre. I don't know if it was for the better. T.O. lost a lot of character Downtown after the clean up.
