Fast paced eye candy, and fun, especially the filming on the dragon infested movie sets. Enjoyed the realistic psychological insights and dramatization of the importance of hard work toward goals, and the value of integrity, with a solid screenplay (based on a novel by Jenny B. Jones). Above average actors, with strong chemistry.[Redgrave’s old lady has a mystery behind it :)]

Nothing like I expected, very character, not plot, driven, hallucinatory. Wonder who wrote the script.
This is the most creepiest, atmospheric horror experience ever. I’ve watched it several times, the first time as a teen on some old late night TV movie while I was baby sitting. Hells bells. Love the blind knights rising from their graves, their voices, their horses,and the ending. 5/5
Great Italian New Wave cinema, even if the translation is bad, definitely worth a watch if you like Antonioni’s style movies. But if you are looking for “soft core porn”, move on, you are in the wrong place. lol (I hear “Hollywood Sins” is good)
I really feel like i’m in the twilight zone. I saw this movie between 6-12 months ago screener quality. But the the ending was totally different, and some parts were added. I’m feeling completely insane. Did I really see it? I must have because I knew the vast majority of the movie. Did anyone else see it? At any rate, it’s a great movie. And the bad guy is the star of the show.
Yes, wasn’t that the original Norwegian make? I know I saw it too and want to find it now. lol
Man, what a comedy! I don’t think Nick said one word. Loved the last scene. Nick the man. lol
Here, the USA remake out-creeps the Japanese original, though I love both and have watched both several times. lol
Finally gave this a shot. Keeping my interest big time, not always an easy find.
Loved it from the get go when you get to experience man’s first attempts at flying jets, and how it kept getting away from Neil, and how everything rattled like it was about to go, to Apollo 11. Like a rattling tin can. Nothing like the smooth, almost silent, operation of what we come to expect in fiction. What did he see at 1:05? I had family who were young engineers in that Houston control room.
Mads Mikkelsen rocks, as ever.Nobody like him. While that Jeffrey Dean Morgan sure can play one heck of a psychopath malignant narcissist. I liked the Danish actress and Eva Green, and the ending.
Maybe the viewing figures for this guy Maddow’s show will reach triple digits this week?
Here’s hoping for his sake.
What are the odds this gal MarkiRowley doesn’t have the attention span to have watched ONE Maddow show? Let’s hope she grows some brains by and by, for her own sake.
Good movie portrayal on life after getting out of prison. Makes you think a lot about existence, and being grateful for the simple things a lot of us take for granted. 4/5
One of the best adaptations of this favorite Charles Dickens’s novel . Charles Dance is deliciously icy and malevolent. James D’Arcy and Sophia Myles are gorgeous to behold, and bring Dickens’s characters to life. Besides the social injustices we expect to see Dickens explore, there are also the ribald, bigger than life characters you can’t help but laugh at while you decry them.
I can’t understand the dialects at crucial points. Grr. Need subtitles. lol
So excited! A Bergman film I haven’t yet seen. Yahoo! But no English subtitles. :(
Though this riveting classic stands alone, it’s more rewarding if you watch the prequel, https://www.primewire.li/movie/202866-watch-jean-de-florette first. Super good stuff.
As someone who’s Dutch, owns a kitchen, has peeked into kitchens & has been kicked in the c**k several times, I regret to inform you that there’s no such Dutch saying.
Good news is this is a Tinto Brass movie & you could care less.
Maybe not in Holland, but in the old village bungalow in Hungary, I’ve kicked a few cocks out of the kitchen who’ve wandered in from the barnyard. Looking for Tinto’s “Paprika” next.
The Duel is a tale of human weakness, the possibility of forgiveness, and a man’s ultimate ability to change his ways. It is classic Chekhov, revealing the multifaceted essence of human nature.
Written, directed and edited by Josh Trank.

One of the production companies, A Band Apart, was founded by Quentin Tarantino and was supposedly defunct by 2006 but the company name is attached to quite a few movies made after that year.
And, quite a few famous names are attached to the company.
Sorry, more info than you were wondering about.
So over the moon to finally see “Roma”: Fellini’s senses of humor, his theater of the absurd, his over the top characters, who often seem to just make random cameo entrances, keep me fobl.
Creepiest, scariest horror movie— just gives a bad feeling all over. The USA version is tepid compared to the dread and unease this leaves you with. Bone chilling, makes your skin crawl.
Geoffrey Rush is mesmerizing. Felt rather sorry for what happens to the character he plays.
Some of those images are unsettling. “What IS that?” Excellent production.
Oh boy.. gonna be a tough one to sit through, not because of the guests (looking forward to Bernie), but there’s a lady in the audience that laughs way too loud and way too often, i’m only 1:58 minutes in and starting to develop cringe cramps, hope she turns it down soon..
EDIT: The guests were good.
This is so good, I’m half way through and just realized it’s all in black and white. It is amazing. At first I thought it was a director led film, but then the story starts unfolding, and I can see why it got all the Oscar awards and nominations.
Just love it. I saw it the first time as youngster on TV while I was baby sitting and it spooked me out. Now I see how campy it is. lol
I like inspiring, Dickens kind of stories like this, especially with a great actor like Daniel Auteuil, always a touchstone of quality entertainment. The rich cinematography was a real pleasure to boot.
This movie was based on a 2018 Danish Film Den Skyldige
https://www.primewire.ag/movie/1122266-watch-the-guilty
and was written by Nic Pizzolatto (who did the first season of True Detective) and Directed by Antoine Fuqua (who did Training Day).
911 Movies like this always remind me of the old school crime radio movies from the 30’s and 40’s before T.V. was big. So much of the suspense is in the actors delivery and at times, it is excruciatingly PAINFUL to listen to and watch.
They should call this pos movie, ‘Three Annoying Twenty-somthings Get Lost and Argue a Lot, and Nothing Scary Happens!’
I disagree. I really felt the existential terror of being lost in the wilderness, never mind the weird stuff. Took me awhile to get the end. lol
Yes, Dodi, the original was in 2014 called In Order of Disappearance, also available on Primewire.
Didn’t realize season 2 links had been put up, so psyched. Some fun to binge on.
Just saw it again. Not as quirky as when I first watched it baby sitting, but still fun.
On top of my most disturbing horror flick lists. Mainly because the poor saps who get reanimated look so tortured, so unhappy with their condition.
