Stuff I watched recently...

Absolutely agree as far as NTb is concerned. Ditto on Snowfall. Haven't watched Rabbit Hole yet.

And I enjoyed season 3 of Picard, but I feel it got a little too campy towards the end...

Well there is one other that comes to mind today... "Silo" although just starting with the first two episodes out... it is excellent!!!

The visuals (NTb of course), are outstanding! I would highly recommend reading the series starting with "Wool" by Hugh Howey which I had read years ago.

Its a bit funny how your minds eye or your imagination can be so spot-on with seeing the scenes duplicated in a story you read and enjoyed so many years ago, but I digress.


@Cab Thanks again for all your efforts, you are appreciated.

Watched "AIR" yesterday. Enjoyed it very much.

Wife made me watch "Book Club 2". Not so much.

"SISU"

Won't win any Oscars. Not quite as enjoyable as John Wick. About the same amount of dialogue and violence.

[Stehle]

Yeah, I felt kind of the same with "SISU", but speaking of Oscars...

My early prediction would be... at least so far this year mind ya... "Guy Ritchie's The Covenant" Again, probably it was just me or my state of mind at the time, BUT...

It just seemed to have the right formula... story, acting, empathy, ultra violence needed for a conclusion or end. Remember... I'm just going by what films I have viewed so far this year.

If it tugged on enough heart strings it may get an Oscar nod for something.

That being said... I see a bit of a future for a book that has been made into a film perhaps later this fall.


Not currently reading... finished it a while ago. You'll see the post.



I haven't watched "AIR" yet, so it's now in my cue.

I literally couldn't get past the first 30 minutes of The Covenant so I read what happened on Wikipedia. True story. All in all, given Guy Richie is a fucktard of a director, seemed a good decision on my part.

Dungeons & Dragons -- Entertaining when I watched it. Already forgot what it was about.

Super Mario Bros. -- Better than expected. Never had any Nintendo systems (grew up playing Atari), but what little I know about their games I recognized in the movie. Well done.

Renfield -- definitely this weekend's winner.

My kids, now grown men would probably get a kick outta "Super Mario Bros.", which I viewed yesterday. I was more of a PC geek, but as far as Nintendo or PlayStation later it was Metal Gear for me. I would tend to agree better than expected... kinda of a vegetative state good popcorn type movie.

"Tetris"on the other hand (Which I must confess, never played.), seemed to have a decent based on true story formula and now I understand were I heard the name Maxwell before {gag} predatory family me thinks. All in all better than I thought it would be.

Now I guess I'm going to give the second season of "Yellowjackets" a whirl as I like bizarre mysteries.

Mostly, I can call myself a binge-watcher. I like K-dramas and US dramas and movies.

My most recent watch was Tu Jothi Main Makar; it was a good watch.

I'm a bit behind on entertainment, but kinda liked Grey Man with Gosling and Cap'n Merka. Definitely a formula-driven movie but had enough action to keep it interesting. Honestly only a 6.5 or 7 out of 10, but watchable if you don't expect too much from it.
