The show format is super easy...why not do one where only kids can go on or only women or only men or whatever. There's some real estate show on Netflix that has a similar setup. We tried to watch it but I almost slit my wrists cuz it was so douchey Edit: It's called Buy My house Edited January 21 by GSG 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Actually, Banshees of Inisherin was very good. I guess the critics got one right. It’s a dark tragedy/comedy. Excellent acting turns by Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson (mad eye mooney). I wouldn’t have guessed that Farrell was capable of that role. I’m no movie expert but I’d say the direction and score were also excellent and the cinematography/photography were done well. It’s no Marvel action movie by any means, slow paced and few characters set on a remote, desolate island off of Ireland. The accents made some of the dialogue hard to follow so I turned on the CC. 1 Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I had to read up on the battles in Ireland that the Banshees movie were speaking to - very deep. I loved the cops kid and his scene with the sister is one of the better acted scenes on the books this year. Quote Link to comment

Farrell just stuck out to me because my mental image of him is similar to his roles in Minority Report or The Recruit and this was not anything like that. 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The Pale Blue Eye movie on Netflix is pretty good. A little different gothic thriller murder mystery set at West Point in the early 1800s. Starring Christian Bale. Has some nice little twists and turns. The story involves Edgar Allen Poe who coincidentally did attend the Military Academy in the time period involved. It’s worth a couple hours of your time. 1 Quote Link to comment

I just finished this over the weekend. Really good, well-made show. I'm glad they're doing more seasons. They need to have more screen time for Catherine Zeta-Jones. She kills it as Morticia. 1 Quote Link to comment

I haven't seen her do anything for years, but now she pops up on two new series. Wednesday is very clever and entertaining. CZJ is also the bad guy in a new National Treasure series on Disney+. However, that show is terrible. My family loves the National Treasure movies, but we only watched a couple episodes of the new series. It is garbage. Disney has been trying to shoehorn too many of its profitable franchises into lackluster series for their streaming service. Willow sucks. The Marvel and Star Wars content is hit or miss. Every new Simpsons short is an abomination of sadness. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Finally getting into Yellowstone and...it's ok? I didn't know I'd have to suspend this much disbelief over a show about a cattle ranch in Montana, but it's got its decent parts. 2 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I haven't played The Last of Us yet. I've watched the first 3 episodes of the show. Every episode has been really good, but the 3rd one would have been nominated for an Oscar Best Picture if it was a movie. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

It might be more believable than Yellowstone! Quote Link to comment
