Quote from: bennydorano on January 09, 2024, 02:44:03 PMAttempted to watch Napoleon last night, extremely disappointing imo. Gave up on it. So much history / character to work with and they butchered it.

It defo needs an expensive mini series to get everything in, catering for the 'romance' didn't cut it, that'd mean but there was so much skipped or passed by
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Yip, crying out for a series. It was funded by Apple as well, so 🤷

Nyad on Netflix not too bad.

The Holdovers (Paul Giamatti) was decent enough.

Nothing particular original about it (Dead Poet's Society/Scent of a Woman kind of thing), but these days when decent movies are not that common, you could do a lot worse.

Capt Pat

Jaysus but Saltburn is a bit much. I didn't watch it but heard a few spoilers about it and read the plot on wikipedia. I don't plan to watch it in future either.

Cillian Murphy is a brilliant actor but his Oppenheimer performance was nothing special.

Watched Napolean at the weekend, pretty crap.

At least you gave it a fair shot Pat 🙂

I finally watched The Whale at the weekend. A tough watch at times, and for more than one reason. Brendan Fraser and the girl from Stranger Things (Sadie Sink) are both excellent. I think a lot of people would skip over this film.  Worth a watch IMO

Vikings on Prime - not a Movie but would be great for a binge.

Slow Horses on Apple TV justifies the subscription fee on its own, well worth it.

Look-Up!

The All or Nothing series I found very good. Watched a few of them. All the PL ones were good. Enjoyed the Pep one the best. Ice hockey one very good too. Found no problem watching multiple episodes with them.

For drama, Man in High Castle on Prime springs to mind, don't know if you've seen it. Carnival Row was ok.

Look-Up!

Took a 3 month free trial to give this a rattle.
