The Holy Trinity of TV Dramas (In no particular order):
The Sopranos
The Wire
Breaking Bad

I have some friends who absolutely love The Wire. A couple years ago I tried getting into it and watched the first couple episodes and didn't get hooked. I'm debating signing up for the Crave streaming service which carries HBO stuff here in Canada and if I do I'm going to try and give The Wire another look.

Far better than it has any business being. I was genuinely surprised by how much fun i had watching that one.

Whiplash 9/10

 

[TD Charlie]

Snowpiercer. Gotta be a solid 8/10, perhaps 8.5.

i saw it several years ago and remembered the general plot, some details here and there, but there’s plenty that i forgot that made the rewatch worth the time.

a little violent in parts, a fair warning to those uncomfortable with gore. Nothing outrageous, but enough that my girlfriend bailed half way.

I went from rewatching the wire and sopranos to rewatching sons of anarchy and the differences between the shows is just astounding...........I use to love SOA too

On Twitter, Brian's Song is trending as the response to the question of which movie made you cry hardest.

I would add Miracle, Field of Dreams, and Hachi to the list. Although Hachi actually made me cry the hardest.

Dogs and sports get to me, apparently

And three of the four were based on real life stories.

"The Champ" - final Scene. . . just brutal. Saw it in theatre, grown boxing men weeping.

My son and I just watched "Uncut Gems" A numerical rating could not describe how much we both disliked this movie - pyrite for sure (2.5) only for KG b-ball scenes.

Vault -1,000/10...yes that's a negative...don't think I made it past the 20 minute mark...so disappointing...acting at 5th grade production level.

Great movie.

Better than the popular one.

Ever see the original?

The Wire takes 5-6 episodes to really get rolling. I'm also not sure it's binge-able, it's pretty dense and some episodes need some time to digest, but its so worth the effort

JoJo Rabbit 7.5/10

I'm having a great run of movies of late and this keeps it going. Taika Waititi just hits my funny bone. I loved Hunt For The Wilderpeople (8/10) and What We Do In The Shadows (7/10) and I loved this. The opening sequence where he mixes Nazi parade footage with The Beatles just sets the tone but it also has its sad and sweet moments too.
Really enjoyed it.

The Lighthouse 8/10

 

[TwineTickler]

Killer Joe - 7.5 out of 10. It's an NC-17 flick... great cast, McConnaughey gives an INTENSE performance.

Killer Joe (2012)

Whiplash - 9 out of 10. Truly an amazing movie. Subject matter might not interest the majority (the reason I held off on watching it for so long and the only reason its not 10/10) but wow. Two incredible performances from Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons. Highly highly recommend.

Whiplash (2014)

Drinking Buddies - 7/10 - Enjoyed it. Big fan of Jake Johnson.

Drinking Buddies (2013)

SOA's an awesome show, even if it doesn't approach other shows. Will always be a favorite of mine.

 

[TwineTickler]

Not a movie, but one severely underrated (IMO) TV show that I've binged hard since quarantine is Person Of Interest. Was a CBS show but now on Netflix. First season is on the slower side, but if you get through it, the rest of the show is phenomenal. Towards the end of season 4 right now, season 5 being the last one and I'm already sad about it.

9.5/10

Person Of Interest

 

[BruinsNetwork]

Warrior with Tom Hardy. 9.1/10

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Legends of The Fall

8/10

I had never seen this before. But I really like the story.

Classic....another similar movie (i am sure you have seen it) is 'A River Runs Through It' and it's semi-autobiographical.

Parasite 7/10

Enjoyed it but I don't feel like it lived up to the hype although tbf most films that are hyped up this much rarely do.
I really liked the premise but I feel like the execution just lacked something that I can't quite put my finger on.
Worth a watch regardless.

Taika Waititi is a genius. I've enjoyed his work for a long time and when he started getting serious attention in Hollywood I felt it was well-deserved but was also a bit concerned that it might turn him away from the quirky individuality that makes his films so great. But so far so good and his Thor film was excellent and proved he can also make magic with a big budget.

My favourite movie of his is Boy from 2010, an easy 9/10 for me and I suspect it's his most personal piece so far. If you haven't seen it then I highly recommend it.

Yeah I really enjoyed Boy aswell, much darker themes running through it compared to his later films. One of his which I haven't seen yet is Eagle Vs Shark, I also really like Jermaine Clement so I must put that on my to-watch list.

Just Mercy 10/10. Based on a true story and so very relevant right now. Saw it back in January in the theaters.

Both Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx were robbed of Oscars for their performances. Brie Larson was also fantastic in her role. I highly recommend it. It is free to rent for the month of June on all platforms.

My 10-year old daughter watched "A League of Their Own" for the first time a couple of months ago. She's not really into sports, but she LOVED it.

One of my absolute favorite movies of all time.

Oh and Dottie totally dropped the ball.
