Was sorry to see the old security officer go**, but I've enjoyed her two replacements so far. **As a Star Trek parody, it seems particularly fitting that the security officer should exit the show fairly early on. uhgng.... Ugh.... Oh, wow. This is.... this is a lot heavier than I thought it would be.... Be a real shame, though, if I accidentally dropped it right here.....

Joe Walsh Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 We finished S2 of The Punisher last night. While there were missteps and silliness, overall it was one of the better season 2's of the Netflix Marvel shows. Possibly the best of the lot, really.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Watched ant man and THE WASP, reviewed that on another thread. Also watched Jersey Boys, a biopic about the Four Seasons (and Frankie Valli), which was very well done -- but Eastwood directed it and he is a master at the craft.

death tribble Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 The Pickwick Papers. A 1952 adaptation of the Dickens novel. Fun. Mr Jingle as the villain is a delight. Do You Know this Voice ? A kidnap becomes a murder mystery as the victim is found dead but the kidnapper still contacts the family. Dated due to the advances in tech but watchable. A Hill in Korea. National Service personnel and proper army in Korea and they run into Chinese and have to make a stand. Robert Shaw, George Baker, Stanley Baker (no relation) and Michael Caine (his first credited appearance although he had two uncredited ones). Very good. Forever England. A British sailor tries to stop a German warship from leaving an island in order for other British units to find it Dont't Panic Chaps ! a small unit of British soldiers and a small unit of German soldiers occupy an island and agree a truce until a woman becomes washed up there as well. Of these The Pickwick Papers and A Hill in Korea are worth looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 and now a spoof and siren special Our Man in Marrakesh. One of several people from a plane is a contact for local fixer Herbert Lom. Senta Berger is one of the reasons to see this. Also has Klaus Kinski. Fathom. Raquel Welch is a skydiver who gets mixed up in a quest to recover the Firedragon. Modesty Blaise. A big screen adaptation of the heroine's adventures. Watch this for Mrs Fothergill, the henchwoman of the main villain Dirk Bogarde who has a whale of a time as the bad guy. She. Ursula Andress is an immortal seeking her long lost love. Also has Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. All four are fun and are worth watching at least once. Dr. MID-Nite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spence Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 The Host. scifi. Not spectacular, but much better than expected. First three episodes of Kingdom on Netflix. Period Korean drama with zombies. Better than most of the zombie drivel, but still don't know where they are going with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagged Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Nightflyers on Netflix. Only a few episodes in as I tend not to binge watch, but it is keeping me hooked. The GM in me though, does get distracted by the universe they are in and I want to know a lot more about the world and it's background.

mattingly Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I watched Watchmen on Netflix, with the subtitles on. I never realized that the photographer who took the original team's photo was Weegee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 That "NFL 100" commercial that aired during--and was much better than--the Super Bowl last night. We've watched it a couple of times just to see if we can catch all the jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slikmar Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Saw Battle Angel Alita. Decent live action anime. From reading Wikipedia I get the impression they condensed a lot. The previews showed Godzilla-can't wait, and apparently they are remaking dirty rotten scoundrels with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson, though it is called something different. Also a remake of pet cemetery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ruggels Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Watching"The kingdom". on Netflix. It is a Korean Period Drama, well shot and well acted, but includes Zombies. It's a great "Escalating Damage" sort of plot. A lot of fun, but then I like Korean films. Spence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CGI enlargement puts them plain into the uncanny valley for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
