Movie / TV What's the last movie you watched

[Telmar]

The war in Algeria was all but necessary, Algerians deserved their independence and the bloodshed on either side wasn't needed.

Unfortunately France then thought sending many troops could end the “troubles” and eventually this lasted for eight years.

Brutality was on both side and I heard horror stories from every parties involved, just a pointless war anyway. Like Morocco and Tunisia they should have been granted independence without going full on “tit for tat”.

My father was born there. One day, while staying with his uncle in Algiers, a Monte Cassino veteran, an FLN killed the milkman with a gun. My father was 15 at the time and my uncle took out two guns, gave one to my father and told him to go out with him to shoot the basterd. My father never found the milkman, nor did my great uncle, but my father told me that if he had, he would have probably have not shot first and would have been killed.

It was crazy times down there.

[TIGREDELAIRE]

but it is spectacular, I liked the lot of historical references that he got, they even provide a new version of Hoffa's disappearance ...

Yeah I agree with you 100%, really for me that movie its a master piece. The Cast its amazing. Under the Netflix streaming its easier to watch, I mean its better than in a movie theatre. I cant wait until the prices come to the producers, actors, and director

This one was a big and pleasant surprise for me. Gritty, realistic, and lead actors really did a really job portraying patrol officers. No woke BS here.

This is a great movie. Saw it a few years ago and will probably watch it again soon.

The impossible - 2012

Naomi Watts, Ewan MacGregor...

Based upon the true story of a family enjoying a resort on a Thaï coast town until the tsunami hit the beaches, back in December 2004.

Everybody and his dog appear to have greatly enjoyed this one. I didn’t. Long, boring and too much “cue sad violins” moments.

Meh.

Gonna watch the new Star Wars later. Didn't mean to, but I got invited so I don't need to pay those people, which is good. Since they have, apparently, delivered a really shitty product. When your diverse, empowering "the force is female and white men are bad"-billboard scores 17% with the Hollywood critics on post-censorship Rotten Tomatoes, you know you have done F***ed up.
?

I'm not dragging everyone else's baggage into the cinema to watch the last one. Happy to give it a go and hope it wraps the story up.

'The Mandalorian'
with Pedro Pascal, Werner Herzog, Carl Weathers et.al.
After he's saved a child, a Mandalorian bounty hounter (Pascal) stranded on a desolate planet is reluctantly thrust into a series of adventures.

Finally got around to watching the first episode and apparently, there's still life in Lucasfilm! With its adhererence to the principle of "show, don't tell", 'The Mandalorian' reminds me of the 'Star Wars' of old. No soulless plot-development vessels for characters, no clunky exposition, no cheap slapstick humour, no identity politics… I'm loving it.

Perhaps the creatively bankrupt rehash that was 'The Force Awakens' and the unbearably stupid and agenda-driven 'The Last Jedi' have clouded my judgement, making 'The Mandalorian' seem even better in contrast. At any rate, it's a really cool show. It's essentially a space western, ffs!

★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10

Reminds me Firefly a lot somehow.

Rise of Skywalker

Not a masterpiece by any means but I enjoyed it. The plot is necessarily silly at times but the first hour fairly flew by, it slows for a little while and then picks up pace nicely. It's not a patch on any of the original trilogy in my eyes but all I was really looking for was something to keep me entertained at the cinema for a couple of hours and it did the job.

I think so. The ending certainly set up another story.

Don't know if you're aware but they were both written by a guy called Taylor Sheridan - in between writing them, he also did one called 'Hell or High Water' which I really enjoyed.

Yep. He also created Yellowstone. Can't say that I liked "Hell or High Water".

'Killing Eve'
with Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw et.al.
A bored MI5 desk analyst (Oh) becomes obsessed with uncovering the identity of a sociopathic contract killer (Comer) to prove her worth as an agent.

One fine day, Youtube's algorithm in its uncanny wisdom recommended to me a clip of Jodie Comer as the sociopath Villanelle. She was great, so I gave 'Killing Eve' a try. Sadly, Comer is the only thing good about this hideous mess. It's like every other actor knew they'd pale against her and collectively decided not even to try.

Adding considerable insult to injury, the pretentious plot is a heap of dung and riddled with holes big enough they swallow entire episodes whole. The sugary soundtrack feels utterly out of place… and then there's the politics. The forced diversity is cringeworthy even by BBC standards – as is the depiction of the sexes.

All female characters are infallible superhumans even on their most dishevelled of days, and all male ones are either pathetic stay-at-home-dads with a masochistic penchant for getting shoved around, or coarse "old white men" who do nothing but shout at our protagonists and are mortally afraid to admit they've been eclipsed.

Two thirds into the second episode I just had to give up. A shame, 'cause the lead actress is diabolically good and (apparently) the novels the show is based on aren't bad either.

★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 3/10

The new James Bond is written by 'Killing Eve''s showrunner… ? Fan-f***ing-tastic.

I think you’ll enjoy The Bodyguard. There is almost a mathematically precise dependency between how a character is good/bad and his race/gender/accent. I knew who the bad guy was from the first episode. It is that predictable.
