i watched "First Winter" over the weekend
it was pretty slow and unlikable for the first two acts but i'm glad i didn't give up on it because imo it redeemed itself in the end. very beautiful and haunting film altogether.
sort of a Martha Marcy May Marlene meets The Road kind of vibe if that sounds like its up your alley

however, there's a pretty inexcusable blooper where an actor's microphone is caught on screen for an extended shot during an otherwise intense scene...

TABU really knocked me out at the theater, not sure how it may translate to a Netflix stream.It's the latest from Miguel Gomes, director of "Our Beloved Month of August."

LOL, classics. Actually, addition of Big Top Pee Wee is intriguing. That movie was lost to the ages.
Is it the uncut/expanded/totally OTT Caligula?

i like safe, blitz, parker, killer elite, in the name of the king, the italian job, and the expendables 2 more than redemption. as far as streaming netflix statham goes. but i am scott.
― scott seward, Saturday, 2 November 2013 01:38 (ten years ago) link
I watched about 15 minutes. Maybe some other time. I have seen all of those other than in the name of the king. Also, Parker is ok

you know, Empire State is pretty good despite the incongruous presence of The Rock. 80's period piece about Greek-American dudes in NYC and crime gone awry. director was an 80's hardcore punk dude and the 80's vibe is nice. cuz if you look at the poster you'd just think it was a standard Rock vehicle.

I know every time I see a good documentary I come here and tell you it's the best (Pruitt-Igoe--WAS I WRONG?). Today, Brooklyn Castle is the best. The BEST. And it's not even a sad cautionary tale about human folly, it's CHARMING and funny as heck.

i was watching multiple episodes of flashpoint t.v. show until i got to an episode that was even too dumb for ME. imagine! it was just...so ridiculous. this rich lady had to wear a bomb necklace that a Chilean dude put on her and then she had to watch her husband confess to something in front of a big crowd and it really made NO sense. and i was so mad at the one strikeforce woman who took her eyes off of the rich lady and let the rich lady get into the impossible mess in the first place. so, i stopped watching flashpoint. i was into it up until then. i've been having a really hard time quitting smoking and sometimes all i can really do is watch endless t.v. to keep sane.
was enjoying Chuck with Rufus but then Cyrus started watching and that night he said it scared him so now i can't watch Chuck in front of him he's such a baby. oh well.
so i started watching wacky timothy hutton equalizer show instead of strikeforce. i've always been fond of wacky crime shows. simon & simon, rockford, feather and father gang(!), all those. seems to do the trick. don't want to go insane.

btw Netflix has just acquired one of the year's hot docs, The Square (the last 3 years in Egypt), for distribution but I imagine it won't show up til later in awards season, so proceed with your TV shows about elves and bomb necklaces.
