[Carey Chant]

DeadPool 2 was amazing.

Cobra Kai 1st two episodes are great, cant watch the rest with youtube red.

Atlanta season 2 real good, Fubu episode was amazing.

One series that I have started is a French one: Le bureau des légendes. My friend who works for some Secret service unit gave me the series on a usb key and told me it was the closest a series has EVER come to the real stuff.

the best of youth: 8.5/10 very good movie.

Tora ! Tora ! Tora !: 7.3/10

I liked tora too, best of youth seems interesting..366 min runtime tho?

Ordet: 7.5/10

13 Reasons Why Season 2: 7.3/10 Not a total money grab but it doesn't add a lot to the 1st season either.

bullet in the head (1990): 5.5/10 4 or 5 guys kill about a million bad guys in little over 2 hours. With also ridiculous music.

In French only, hds.to.

Soooo your secret service friend told you he works in the secret services... Makes sense.

Yeah but he told him covertly, before dino decided to make it available on a public forum. There could be an emerging Julian Assange factor.

Well Scooter Libby told the planet the identify of a cia officer so everything is possible

I discontinued my subscription to the movie network(i'm old). How is season 2 of Westworld?

Ordet's a great film. Dreyer's amazing.

It doesn't generate the magic of the first season. It's basically the robots taking over, with nebulous sub-plots. There is a marked lack of cohesion, not sure who is trying to prevail over who or why some of the robots are estranged from the others. It's like Larry Chuckles Carrière was directing the episodes and rubber stamped every brainstormed idea and then despite the resulting confusion, he'll come out and say how they've all done a good job.

I am no critic/expert but I assumed that the departure of Hopkins meant one of two things, either money or creative difference.

Which has begotten creative indifference in the viewer.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Plot was probably better in the first movie... fight scenes, action and jokes, better in the second

I have to say though, not that hard to beat the plot of the first movie. lol It's like they wrote the jokes first and then wrote the plot on a napkin.

------------------------

Watched The Last Kingdom upon recommendation from a friend that knew I liked Vikings. I've liked it so far although I don't love it as much as Vikings. It's hard to find another Travis Finnel.

How is that even possible? The first movie was all jokes and action.

Ive just finished Sherlock, loved it. The chemistry between Cumberbatch and Freeman is hilarious and heartbreaking at times. I had a bro tear when Sherlock took Watson in his arms when he "confessed" to Mary.

Well, we've known each other for years. And he's not an agent, but a director. So yes. Do I need to kill you all now? OK, so THAT'S how it works...

The Terror wrapped up last night. Overall, a decent fictional account of true events. I thought there was some great acting in the series and some definite messed up moments throughout. The show also had a pretty decent despicable character as well as a rather unlikely protagonist given the other characters in the show which seemed to fit that mold of "good guy" a little better. 7/10

The Human Condition I: No Greater Love : 8/10

The Human Condition II: Road to Eternity : 8/10

The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer: 8/10

Very good trilogy.

I went to see Infinity War this past weekend.

After 20-something Marvel Studio movies, the milking has gone as far as it could. Black Panther was meh, so I wasnt expecting much with AIW.

Well... i was pleasantly surprised.

Really liked how they portrayed Thanos. DC has A LOT to learn from Marvel Studios.


Edit: SPOILER: Anyone thought Red Skull looked like Skeletor from He-man???

Is it about the French Revolution?

I think it's more like what GoT did in S1 with Sean Bean.

I thought Black Panther was garbage. I came in with relatively big expectations given some of the reviews, but in the end I think it's one of the weakest movies in the MCU.

Infinity war, on the other end, was pretty damn great I must say. Arguably the best movie out of the MCU.

I've been watching "The good doctor" lately. The premise is interesting enough, but it is plagued by the same old clichés that typically plague that genre. Still fairly enjoyable to me, but it tries way too hard at striking emotional cords.
