just finished the Haunting of Hill House based on recs in this thread...i have to say that was extremely well done. every ep had an entire film's worth of genuine fright moments. i jumped. a lot. lol.

well acted, especially the women... and is it me or did Henry Thomas grow up to have a weird face? 🤨 almost looks like botched plastic surgery or something, his mouth is shaped weird.

anyway, for a horror show it packed a surprisingly emotional punch in the end. the 'bent neck lady' reveal was legit 'holy shit!'

 

Really enjoyed haunting of Hill House too. The sequel (sort of- just another ghost story not connected to hill house but has same actress), Haunting of Bly Manor, was not very good. I wanted to like it but I’d skip it.

Watching unnatural selection. I’ve always been curious about bringing out peak performance in humans. This genetic engineering would be fun 

[pyrohornIII 4817]

The Nightingale is solid.  It's graphic very realistic.   Well done, but a lot of the casual reviews from women mention how much it affected them while watching it.

Anyone seen The Harder They Fall yet or are there all racists in here?

I don’t follow the racist comment

[Speedtrucker 2072]

We started it last night but then I had to go get all my hunting gear moved to the front for this morning.

It’s good so far, I like the idea of it so far.

Still waiting to see Bass Reeves but it’ll have to wait till Monday now.

[OneOfTheOutOfFocusGuys 2078]

Watched Love and Other Drugs.  Anne Hathaway for whatever reason in 2010 decided her career was in such a place that she needed to sign up for a terrible movie to give us ample nudity. Movie was just absolute garbage but she is in sex scenes for about half of it.  So, you know, Patrick Stewart approved.

really enjoined Chestnut man. 

True detective set in denmark. Great story, no filler, just 6 episodes.

Watched it based on this thread. 

For me, it fell in the odd category of "pretty glad I watched it but not sure I liked it enough to recommend to friends" category.

Netflix has another of their Christmas movies coming up - Elves, probably about where they started or something.  They are trying to outdo Hallmark or whoever in the Christmas department.  Frances McDormand is showing her age.

I'm not going to watch the trailer, but for those of you with kids who have to watch every Christmas movie, I'm sure they'll enjoy it.

 

[atomheartbevo 89755]

Another Netflix Christmas movie.

Edit: I will watch almost anything with Brooke Shields, so I'll have to suffer through this.

Another Christmas movie (kids will probably like this one a lot).

I didn’t care for Chestnut Man, either. It was OK, just too…convoluted.

The Harder They Fall…I hated it. Just don’t care at all for that fake B movie stuff.

Turned it off after about 30 min.

I watched the first episode of season 5. I can’t do it. Watching children get off is just too creepy.

[XYZ 2154]

Midnight Mass…weird show. Very weird. And it dragged so so much.

So, umm, yeah, I watched it.  It's not Frances McDormand, it's some Scandinavian or whatever movie.

If you let your kids watch Squid Game, sure, let them have at this movie.

The Crown- enjoying it so far im in the season where they have changed out actors playing the Queen et al..i kind of liked the original crew especially the sister

Outlander- good enough, but not must watch by any stretch, they just got to 'merica, so ill watch , especially since its basically 80's era Skinemax

The Maid- not bad, kind of makes you want to be a better parent..main character has a trainwreck of a life, kind of depressing but we'll stay with it

Komenski Method- fantastic, must watch, but I am 50 so the humor skews older generation, the youngs may not appreciate (or get) some of it.

The 12th Man (no aggie reference)- foriegn WW2 movie , really good, true story

[iodeac 138]

Has anyone had an issue with the Netflix app where the color fades in and out periodically? It just started a few days ago, so far I think it's only the Netflix app and not my TV. Will probably reset the TV and reinstall the app to see if that fixes it. Thanks!

Blood Red Sky is a great installment to the vampire genre. 

[TonyTexas 10518]

2 seasons of Survivor dropped today. Seasons 16 ( Fans vs Favorites) and 37 (Davids vs Goliaths). Both are good but 16 is a personal favorite and is outstanding. It has perhaps the dumbest move in Survivor history and is hilarious.

Speaking of Blood red sky, I've noticed netflix selection of independent horror has expanded. Probebly in response to shudder popularity.

Watching Maya and The Three with my 8yo daughter.  Fun animated series to watch with the kids a lot of fighting and some death in the series if you're not into that kind of thing

Inside job gets better with every episode.

So no one has watched The Nightingale yet?   

[CooterBrown 18015]

I watched it about a year ago. It was really good but I don’t remember too much about it.

[pyrohornIII 4817]

It's like a cross between a US western/confederacy thing played with a strong woman as the heroine set in 1825 Tazmania.  I found it a good story line, and enjoyed seeing how other places depict the violence and injustices.   But thanks for answering.  

 

[Speedtrucker 2072]

Red Notice is acceptable as a movie.

Pretty predictable but fun none the less.

Gal Gadot is so fucking hot. She is right up there with Ana de Armas for my most perfect women I should have sex with.

[huge 3795]

I came to check on Red Notice.

I figured it would be ok. Writing bad but main people are charismatic.

Maybe after Narcos

Ryan Reynolds plays a smart ass, rock plays a tough guy, Gadot plays a smoking hot strong female.  I should have probably spoilered that, don't want to give too much away.

It was enjoyable. I don't mind a dumb predictable but fun action flick.

Been waiting for this. Saw Burr on Colbert and Netflix wouldn't let him announce the release date.

[Scraps 13570]

Dumb that its the last season

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4976]

Turn: Washington's Spies is on Netflix through the end of the month, so if you like historical dramas and feel like going on a super binge you can knock it all out. While it's not the best series ever, it is entertaining and Simcoe is one of the better villains out there.

[Scraps 13570]

I finally got around to checking out Bad Sport.  

First episode was pretty awesome.  Arizona State basketball point shaving.  

[MissingInAction 25125]

Loved "Time Trap". Great original take on the relativity of space and time. Good unknown cast, pacing, and kept me guessing until the end.

Don't read any reviews cause a lot of them have spoilers in the first sentence.

[TonyTexas 10518]

For those who enjoyed Blown Away, a 4 episode holiday competition dropped.

This show is one of my many responses when someone says “you could never get away with x these days.” Yeah, it’s all still wide open, only difference is how it’s presented.

Peaky Season 6 (final season): March - June 2022 is the rumored start window. Can't wait!

I watched the Kevin Hart/Wesley Snipes show True Story over the holiday.  I enjoyed it even if I figured out the twist by episode 3.  Super farfetched, as most shit is on tv, but easy to run through the series 

[MissingInAction 25125]

Await Further Instructions is fucking awesome if you are a fan of horror/sci-fi/suspense.

Very well done on a small budget.

Spoiler

Wasn't bad for a very low budget movie. Acting was suspect but the premise was different and it didn't cheat and give them a way back home.

Thought it was funny that at the end, there was a perfect match of partners so each person could bump uglies going forward instead of trying their game on 8 foot tall humans.

LOL- going to tell my wife we’re watching a Christmas movie and then put this on and see how it goes.
