I agree with mish, good show, pretty dark and more gory than I thought it was going to be, but it lacks humour. Or the jokes just don't quite land as they want them to. There's a similar...

He has a weird ability to look unassuming and meak and then turn into hench lunatic.
I liked it, watched both back to back rather than as stand alone movies. There were holes and it felt like there were time jumps without any obvious indicators. Would have loved a bit more of the...
Loving this so far. Cosmo Jarvis (John Blackthorn), is an absolute scene stealer. Remember that old video of the guy who was arrested for running out of resturants, the 'Succulent Chinese meal' guy....
Celia Imrie. Stallwart of 80's - 90's British TV, as she aged she became a stallwart of British movies. Inc - Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Aye 'weird' might be an understatement.. Internal strife, whistle blowers, employees being threatened - leading to mass sackings... My sense is the historical titles were done and dusted anyway as...
I think they need a big historic title Medieval or Rome III. But given that's been obvious for years and they came up with 'Thrones of Britannia' (flop), 'Three Kingdoms' (canned) 'Pharaoh' (flop), I...
I couldn't find any discussion on this, please delete/move if it's somewhere else.
CA have finally cast off the cloak of denial and admitted, in a round about way, to their many failures and...
Hmm... None of the named actors, show runner or the director have 'Alexander: The Making of a God' listed as upcoming projects (on IMDB). Netflix have no adverts for it. The 'trailers' that do exist,...
I'm not sure it's anything to do with 'woke' politics but more about putting as big a name as possible on the poster. I don't think Denzel has done anything for Netflix before, so quite a coup for...
Hannibal.
Denzel Washington has recently signed up to play legendary Carthaginian general 'Hannibal' in an upcoming Netflix film.
''IMDB blurb.
Based on the real warrior Hannibal,...
Ah, you've applied real world ethnicity stereotypes to a fantasy world setting. Don't want to spoil it for you, but ethnically Rand comes from a marginalized and much hated ethnicity. The odd part is...
HBO's Rome did a better job.
To be fair, Rome II did a better job. :P
I'm a sucker for 'feel good' romance movies.
True Romance.
Fight Club.
Coppola's Dracula.
Natural Born Killers.
Morraine has been stilled, so technically, she's not Aes Sedai. I guess the writers wanted to show that change in her by having her show her manipulative side more overtly.
I wondered how they...
Ep 4.
I liked the pretty lightsaber fights. Disappointed Sabine didn't kick the crap out of Shin, she is a Mandalorian and a vet. Expected a bit more from her with all her Mando gizmo's.
Just to quantify - I meant in the context of WoT, specifically the 'Aes Sedai,' although, it's pretty common, especially fantasy fiction, for a matriarchy to be (more) sexually liberated, but yes,...
To be fair, the source material can be ponderous and goes off on tangents, a lot. The show feels like a condensed version, which might not be a bad thing, in the long run.
The sexuality of the...
It's back.
First three episodes are promising, they seem to have worked out a balance of story building, character development and action. Scale was always going to be an issue (no cast of...
Must admit, the amount of shots Ahsoka's ship took bothered me, but not as much as having to find a map to find a dude with some convoluted mechanism needed to make the map readable... Come on,...
First two were okay, these things live or die on the quality of the bad guy. Much as I have a love for Ray Stevenson (RIP), as per Star Wars tradition, baddies who show themselves early don't tend to...
Koreans are emotional, they also love Zombies.
All of us are Dead.
Lots of political commentary on Korean society/culture, most of which is laid bare with zero subtlety. But, unless you're...
Maybe there's just too much Star Wars at the moment. It doesn't help that the quality, story wise, has been all over the place. Kenobi was terrible, Book of Boba meh, Andor was good, Mandalorian,...
Sisu.
Old Finish dude slaughters Nazi's with a shovel. Tarantino-esc - Brutal and glorious carnage.
If you need more info than that, don't bother.
No interest in this era, (unless it's Sharpe or Hornblower) but, I'm looking forward to this, almost as much as Gladiator II.
I'm sure both will be terrible loosely based on - accounts with...
Turnstile.
Apparently these are the current bright lights of the 'hardcore' punk scene. I hear influences from Fugazi/Metallica/Janes Addiction.

EP 4.
Definitely getting better by the episode. As we get to know the characters a bit more and the lore is being revealed.
I'd agree, but then where would movies like Erasurehead, Tetsuo (BodyHammer), or The Holy Mountain, fit.
Evil Dead II is a remake of Evil Dead. The time line of the trilogy is interesting, Army of Darkness is set before Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 is a re-quel, something to do with Raimi not owning the...
Aye.
Did anyone mention 'The Evil Dead.'
Not sure if it was 'intentionally crappy' or Raimi just embraced his budget of 350k(est), squeezed every ounce of crazy from it and created, maybe,...
Dredd - Karl Urban sticks to the origin and never takes off the helmet.
Did my eyes deceive me, or did the next 3 episodes go up yesterday?.
I have a feeling the show hasn't got as much...
Zombie baby flying into a frying pan, I think. It's been 30 odd years.
Bad Taste. Brain Dead. Dead Alive.

All directed by some fella called 'Peter Jackson.' Wonder what happened to him...
Aye. EP-2 had a bit more grit, brutal executions and mild nudity.
Ish - ''Plus a lot of things, like his height in lore is 6'10"
Pablo Schreiber is 6.4.' Close enough no?. :P ..
He's a...
Moonfall.
Take a script with completely preposterous apocalyptic disaster movie premise, strip out all the filler and only leave in the explanatory and funny bits. Chuck every ounce of GCI you...
Same as. Never played the game but the first episode had promise, strong Robocop vibes. Would benefit from being a bit more gritty though.
I bunked into the cinema to watch that. It was AA (15) - Rated and I would have been 13. Years later, when I was in my 20's, and working in animation, I met a guy called Dave Elvin, who had worked on...
Ah, transparent water.
Thought that wasn't something I'd seen before (also just noticed one of your comments says exactly that :))....
Aye, a lot of people hated Brida, but that final scene for her was as close to gut-wrenching as this show has ever got. Maybe because Utred deserved a dam break, when it came to women.
@POVG: I just don't have time. Stopped using public transport during Covid, so reading time is zero at present.
@MCM: Emperor is a historic fiction based on the life of Caesar, from his youth to...
