I'm thinking of watching Liam Neeson in the action-thriller 'Run all Night'.

I was going to watch him in 'The Commuter', but the reviews are so appalling that I'm giving it a miss.

I've been enjoying Liam Neeson's reappearance in movies after his long break from his earlier years. Also a big fan of Ed Harris.

I'm also considering 'Logan' with Hugh Jackson.

For years I never watched any movies, and so I'm doing a 'catch-up' time lately.

Thanks Borg, but that's a little too frantic for this old bastard of 74.

Herbert,

Try THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB.    [2007]

It is about human relationships [real men, and real women        ].

.....although there are two lesbian relationships [too] in the movie.

Ray Donovan.

Peaky Blinders is excellent.

However, I guarantee you'll love Ray Donovan.

I'm watching Deadwood now - they say "cocksucker" a lot.

Are you enjoying it? If so you'll be happy to know they're finally doing another season.

Ian Mcshane is just brilliant. The Mr Woo scenes are priceless.

Herb, I enjoyed 'the Founder', starring Michael Keaton. A movie about Ray Kroc, THE McDonalds' king-pin might not sound very exciting, but there is a really thought-provoking moral fable in there.

Martin Scorsese's SILENCE is worth a watch.

Thank you.

I don't care if I've got Rotten Tomatoes taste in movies. At heart I'm Trailer Trash despite my expensive private boarding school years reading Shakespeare and Chaucer.

I wallow in movie garbage of the Sex-and-Violence type that presses all my buttons.

Baby Driver- fairly new- the trailer and out takes look great- my next watch- Director: Edgar Wright

Try this one Herbie.

I loved it.

O Brother where art thou is a classic, truly great film, the other 3, are OK, but over hyped, watchable, but not much more than that.

I have unbelievably good taste, and have always been amazingly cool, and a trendsetter, so you can take these to the bank.

Small Town Crime,  just watched it recently, small film that packs a punch, well worth the time.

If you can handle sub titles a Korean film I watched was weird but amazingly enjoyable was
"Along With The Gods The Two Worlds", a guy has to go through seven trials in hell to get reincarnated, offbeat cool.

All the money in the world, about the john paul getty 111 kidnapping is pretty watchable.

I loved Baby Driver, it has a weird coolness to it that is hard to explain, but it put a smile on my face.

Cloud Atlas is a classic older movie I adore, multiple viewings are a joy, so buy don't rent.

Master and Commander possibly my most watched film of all time, one to own too.

Mollys Game is decent, certainly worth a watch.

I Tonya is much better than I expected, like Mollys Game, worth a viewing.

Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri is GREAT, probably the best of the latest releases.

So, take yer pick, you can't go wrong.
Sex??m Sorry, forgot that bit, Charlize Theron nudes up a bit in Atomic Blonde, a spy film, that is way better than the reviews credit it, worth a watch, even if just for the nice butt.

If you want a bit hotter, 1986 classic, Something Wild has Melanie Griffith going at it when she was young and hot. She looked exactly like a girl I used to go with in the 70's, so it certainly floats my boat.

That do you for now?

Ah-HA!

I liked "The Machinist" because Christian Bale is such a great actor.

Black Mass ~ thanks, Amadd.

I've been so 'out of it' for so long that most of the movies suggested here I've never even heard of. I didn't watch any TV for weeks on end, and am only just now stirring from my torpor.

Whoaaaaa ....

Okay, Nom de Plume ~ thank you, but no more suggestions from everybody, please.

I'm drowning in options here.

Thank God for the large flat screen TV. It has made a trip to the cinema redundant in most cases. I read somewhere that the USA produces 400 feature films a year. I don't know if there is any other country that comes close.

A few years back, the influence of American media was decried, but that was back before the coffee explosion and the adoption of African American salutations. Same thing happened in France, where they now eat more McDonald hamburgers than the famous old baguette sandwich.

I find big production US movies hard watch. The actors mostly seem to have come from the same stud-farm, and the productions are just a bit too slick. The plots are riddled with stuff I, at the least, have heard before, in some form.

I'll watch American movies, in the hope, something interesting will turn up, but more often than not I'll turn it off, and go play my guitar, or, (oh the mental energy it takes) read a book.

I enjoyed Red October.

Some of the best movies are the old ones ...

Setanta wrote on Apr 16^th, 2018 at 10:41pm:


Yes, and still as much a 'thriller' as any of the movies coming out of Hollywood today.

Hitchcock's Rear Window still has me watching it after all these years.

And many more of the Golden Oldies.

Age shall not weary them ...

Time Bandits. A Terry Gilliam classic.

Actually, I just downloaded the first 4 of 5 episodes of Chernobyl. Horrific and all true.

Try Paul Greengrass' "Bloody Sunday".

But I'm difficult to please when it comes to tv.



I did get through the whole series of 'Banshee' (netflix). Pretty good. Lots of blood and tits too which is always a bonus.

I watched a new documentary on Joan Jett on the airplane the other day. Quite good and I have never been a fan of hers.

that was good

I watched "I am Mother", an Australian movie last night on Netflix, that was pretty good, keeps you guessing.(sci-fi).

Based on the book of the same name - a mother and her son?

Jasin wrote on Jun 14^th, 2019 at 6:50pm:


In that case you must be talking about "the worst movie ever made" (according to hundreds of reviews).

Ignore JaSin's recommendation, people (just ignore him in general is pretty good advice).

It has a cult following, but it's really not worth watching.

You'd enjoy 'Zombeavers' much more.

Setanta wrote on Jun 14^th, 2019 at 7:33pm:


Best movie ever.

It's on Netflix.

Three college girls go up to the lake (American teenagers are always going up to the lake).

Whilst sunbathing topless, they see a beaver dam.

They go to investigate, and the old guy who comes out of the bush with a gun (again, always an old guy in the bush) says "What are you girls up to?"

One of them says "We're just looking for some beaver".

Old guy says "Aren't we all?".

It just gets better from there.

There's even a beaver on beaver scene.

It's on SBS online too.

greggerypeccary wrote on Jun 14^th, 2019 at 7:41pm:


An action packed horror-comedy about three college girls who go on a care-free vacation of drinking games, topless sunbathing, and sexual exploration.

Their frolicking fun comes to an abrupt end when toxic zombie beavers try to eat them.

And why should not people 'experience' THE ROOM?
Just because it is voted the worst movie ever, why can't people see for themselves, what they think of the worst movie ever.

Your ZombieBeaver is a blatant attempt to be the worst apathetically. Just a college dorm movie.  Similar to the other College Dorm USA movies you watch... all those college young girls during freshman.

With THE ROOM, the Director was serious about his work.
That's authentic!

This is why you stay off the drugs, children.

Marathon man.

For something light, there's Murder Mystery on Netflix, with Adam Sandler and Jenifer Aniston.  Watched it last night

For change of pace, after the above, began watching a foreign series, called, I think, Dark Spot.  About an isolated town in French forests.  Town has had 37 murders in the past x years, according to a visiting official.  Scenery's not bad.  Has an episode about a wolf, which was a nice touch.  Caves, insane people, lots of dankness and rain dripping from forest branches, mists, intrepid female police lead, a gay police offsider, long empty roads -- through forests of course.  Enough oddities to keep it moving and nothing too disturbing.  Might watch the rest tonight

A movie for Aussie.
