Black Narcissus (2020)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

I really enjoyed this, nostalgic and reminiscent of several BW movies with the same atmosphere in the 50’s. I liked that it was slow. My choice would have been to apply the Technicolor palette and just run with it as an old time movie because everything about it feels like it was filmed in the 50’s.

The Bikeriders (2024)
Piglet 1 points 2 months ago.

Cool, I didn’t know that but he does have that biker look. Didn’t he ride one in TWD?

Pose (2018) S3 E4

This was so moving. It really affected me. You couldn’t change a word of this and make it any better. Up there in my top ten TV episodes of all time.

Uncut Gems (2019)

This movie was amazing! Definitively the best work of his career to date. But it stressed me out SO MUCH I had to have 3 tequila shots.

Sugar (2024) S1 E2

Very very carefully made. I hope like hell they talk him into another season…

Free Guy (2021)

I like the CAM! =:) The late 80’s want their characters back. More early-era-game-real this way

Fortitude (2015) S3 E4
NoelCoyotebleu 1 points 3 months ago*.

oh that’s too bad. now I don’t know if I want to bother.

expresso 1 points 3 months ago*.

Stellar cast, incredibly well acted, plot twists, intriguing location. Richard Dormer, Stanley Tucci are excellent, Michael Gambon is over the top good, Dennis Quaid in the second and third seasons. I’m on my second rewatch. We all just wish there was more of it ;)

Tarzan in Manhattan (1989)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

Disco! Tony Curtis. Also, ‘I need to sleep outside on the platform of iron on the edge of your building’ That is all you need to know.

The Mandalorian (2019) S3 E4
expresso 1 points 1 year ago.

I have wanted to know the backstory on Mandalorians and their planet from day one in the SW universe - loving this season so far for that.

There’s a bunch of these on my list and all of them currently have no links. I requested all the missing episodes on this one today

Star Trek: Discovery (2017) S3 E4

Another epi with warm fuzzies - the Trill are one of my favorites!

Kings (2009)

Peak TV before the Peak TV meme was invented. Excellent binge, never got over it when it wasn’t renewed.

Borgen (2010)
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

Glad to see links refreshed, it’s on my list for a rewatch

Road House (2024)

Straight to cult classics list. So bad it’s hilariously bad.

What does assimilation mean in “this facility has gone X time without an assimilation”?

expresso 1 points 4 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Assimilation by the Borg. The Borg assimilate everything they can get their hands on. Animal, vegetable, mineral.

Around the World in 80 Days (2021)

True Detective (2014) S4 E4

I have no idea what just happened

Poker Face (2023)
ThinMan 1 points 2 months ago.

We watched all the episodes. We fell in love with the first episode, and then it went to an incredibly predictable and almost star-fanning mode of centering on Natasha Lyonne in almost a jokey-hokey manner. Others have adored it, so this is just our opinion, not a criticism of anyone. (PS - LOVE Columbo, but I do not see the similarities at all.)

expresso 1 points 2 months ago.

You took the words right out of my mouth. All those things.

Spiderhead (2022)
expresso 1 points 1 year ago*.

Cult classic. It’s supposed to be average. Light a doobie and listen to the 80’s music.

Shetland (2013) S8 E1
expresso 1 points 6 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Good kickoff to the season, lots of stuff to investigate…jury is still out on her IMO

Silo (2023) S1 E3
grasshopper rex 2 points 1 year ago.

Is kind of reminding me of Snowpiercer.

expresso 1 points 1 year ago.

In that it’s another highly inexplicable setting for a climate catastrophe refuge? Don’t get me wrong, I’m eating this up, I love the writing but lots and lots of eyerolling over here

Mulan (2020)
expresso 1 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

rogerebert.com critical review gives this 3.5/4 stars. Surprised at the haters on IMDb and the other sites trolling this movie.

Forhøret (2019)
TX2Guns 4 points 3 years ago.

Really well done A-List Scandi Noir. The writing was second to none. Amazing character development and layered plot with a really unique intensity added with the 24 minute episodes. The Cast was like the Pro Bowl of Nordic Noir…Really well done!

expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

Agreed, everybody who is anybody is in this

neXt (2020) S1 E9
expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

I just added a couple of new links for 9. Look for filename NeXt.2020.S01E09.REPACK.WEB.h264-RBB.mp4.html. Any file with “cakes” is epi 10 and not epi 9.

True Detective (2014)
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

I agree… After watching the first few eps of the second season, I realized the first season was a ‘one-off’. Season 1 stands alone as the only “True Detective” I needed to see…
(First season) The chemistry between McConaughey’s and Harrelson’s characters was a joy to watch!

expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

Go back for Season 3

Sinbad (2012)
expresso 1 points 3 months ago.

This was my trashy fantasy show back in the ‘10s, I have warm feelings seeing it

Banshee (2013)
jeff7777 3 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Yes, he looks different as Homelander, I guess it is cause he is, like, 7 years older….And agreed, Banshee was one of the best series I have watched…What helped is it was uncensored….!!!!

expresso 1 points 3 years ago*.

Older, but his face also looks weirdly tight and plastic and puffy at the same time. Like he had work done and not in a good way. That fake orange National Enquirer sheen is probably exactly the look they’re aiming for. Aging is a bitch.

TURN: Washington's Spies (2014)
expresso 1 points 10 months ago*.

I’m looking for something historical to rewatch and was just thinking about this the other way - glad to see a couple of seasons are back up!

TURN: Washington's Spies (2014)
expresso 1 points 4 years ago*.

Totally underappreciated TV show with great acting and writing.

Good Omens (2019)
expresso 1 points 8 months ago.

David Tennant is having the time of his life doing this, I keep coming back for that

Tooning Out the News (2020)
Alien 1 points 3 years ago.

It’s called the same thing here, pretty much.

expresso 1 points 3 years ago.

LOL I was providing that information so that people who want to see older episodes could go to YT and not wait around for someone here to post the links ;)

Himmelsdalen (2019)

Looking for a new Nordic Noir to binge, this looks good

1066: A Year to Conquer England (2017)
expresso 1 points 4 years ago*.

If you are a medieval history fan this is very enjoyable, a lot of cool new information for me, goes in depth on the battles leading up to the Norman Invasion of Anglo Saxon England and William the Conqueror. Very creative use of play-by-play to explain the sides and strategies of the battles and the weaponry. One star off due to the cheesiness of the reenactment scenes that are used to illustrate the stories.

Furia (2021) S1 E1
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

I counted four twists, not bad :)

Capone (2020)
expresso 1 points 4 years ago.

Even for someone who thinks Tom Hardy can do almost no wrong, this was a huge disappointment. It looked more like an actor’s character exploration exercise, no real plot, just kind of set it all up at first, and then hung out all atmospheric-like for another 90 minutes.

Star Trek: Discovery (2017) S4 E7
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

WOW can’t wait for February 10th!

Sword of Vengeance (2015)
asclepias 3 points 4 years ago.

This is destined to be a cult classic. Trippy stylized gory sword flick that steals from things like Valhalla Rising, Vikings, folk horror, Seventh Seal, Bastard Executioner, 300. Not much acting or plot going on here except for the unintentionally funny kind, and a cinematographer that films the shit out of all 87 minutes. Straight to favorites.

Rashomon / martial arts

This popped up in my feed on Apple+ TV, it looks absolutely fantastic

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) S1 E8
etim 3 points 1 year ago.

I was thinking about that too, while I was watching this ep, about how it had such a strong old ST feel to it, right down to the plot and to Pike over-hamming his parts, just like Kirk used to do. And yes, I too resisted fast forwarding thru it, afraid I’d miss something, waiting for it to get that silly part over with.
The coolness it had on its first run way back then is now mostly been replaced by feelings of familiarity and nostalgia.

expresso 1 points 1 year ago.

That’s putting it diplomatically ;)

That’s where I post requests if there are no links. There are plenty of links already here, just none of them are very good quality, wanted to advise people.

Killers of the Cosmos (2021) S1 E1
expresso 1 points 2 years ago.

This is brilliant

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) S1 E6
expresso 1 points 1 year ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

This is the first throwback episode that made me say meh. Pike and Alora had less than zero chemistry. I think SNW has done extremely well so far navigating the challenge of updating Spock’s love life and personal storyline and the 70’s-styled high kitsch melodrama of Vulcan culture. This episode felt like it was missing the update - it was lifted straight from the 70’s with the vaguely medieval clothing and weapons and architecture, Alora’s long red fall wig, and the over the top kissy-kissy-is-coming musical cues. Can’t fault the plot - great twist at the end where you may not have seen is what was obviously going to come.

Ivalo (2018) S1 E10
expresso 1 points 8 months ago.

Great story, good plot twists, fast paced, maximum cliffhanger - must have season 2!
