Another excellent character from Stallone.

He’s retiring again. 😂 I saw him in ‘94. Totally worth the price.

starphlo 3 points 1 year ago.

He can retire as many times as he wants! Love him so much. Thanks for commenting on this. I hadn’t heard about it. Saw him in the 80s (or late 70s?) on the last tour of the original band. Saw him twice actually. On the second night we snuck in. Totally worth the drive to D.C., scaling two tall fences and jumping a creek.

The first episode of season two is out!

The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself (2022)
kerfy 2 points 1 year ago.

me too, but i wasn’t living at home by then.. I just find it odd that they like to portray kids as adults in shows.. was the only critique i found in the show too.. unlike that raising dion show, which was just fine but for the horrid mother figure.. she just killed the show.. lol

starphlo 1 points 1 year ago.

Haven’t seen the raising dion show. The description sounds good tho. Maybe I’ll check it out if the mother doesn’t run me off! Thanks for mentioning that. I’m totally out of stuff to watch.

Glad to see this. Thought is was cancelled.

not too bad, if you can get past the 17 year olds acting like 22 year olds..lol drinking and driving all over the place..

starphlo 1 points 1 year ago.

I drank and drove all over the place when I was 17 so that doesn’t bother me..haha.

The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself (2022)
starphlo 2 points 1 year ago.

I really enjoyed this one and I usually avoid teen shows of any kind. The ending was one of the best I’ve seen.

House of the Dragon (2022) S1 E9
starphlo 4 points 1 year ago.

Best episode so far. The suspense was expertly crafted. Before this I was getting somewhat disappointed in the whole thing.

Forever (2014)
starphlo 3 points 1 year ago.

I just discovered this and it is excellent! Very well made, interesting storyline, good actors, quirky…all the good stuff.

The Patient (2022) S1 E3
augusts1 2 points 1 year ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I’m wondering just how much the mom knows about her son’s ‘impulses’. Carrell’s character addresses the violent impulses in the family session but it’s unclear if she knows he’s actually murdered numerous people. Then again she’s ok her son w/kidnapping & keeping the therapist chained up so maybe she does know.

starphlo 1 points 1 year ago. (Contains Spoilers)

There has to be something wrong with her too. The 30-min-at-a-time suspense is killing me.

The Good Fight (2017) S6 E1

It’s back!

The Capture (2019)
starphlo 0 points 1 year ago.

I’ve noticed that British dramas are rated a lot higher than I would rate them. I didn’t like this at all. In fact, most British Tv is boring to me.

House of the Dragon (2022) S1 E3
errrwhocares 1 points 1 year ago.

Was it just me or is this just like a really slow boring episode? 😴

starphlo 1 points 1 year ago.

Wasn’t my favorite episode but left me worrying about what Daemon will do next. It was effective in that regard. He’s nuts.

Samaritan (2022)
starphlo 1 points 1 year ago.

I enjoyed every minute of this. Best action hero who ever lived no matter how old he gets to be. Very well made.

The Sandman (2022)
starphlo 1 points 1 year ago. (Contains Spoilers)

This is good, great at times. E4 is probably the single strangest episode of tv I’ve ever seen. E5 was strange too. Could have done without the talking crow and a few other super silly characters.

Westworld (2016) S4 E2
starphlo 0 points 1 year ago.

I’ve tried to like this. I’m at S2E3 and can’t take it anymore. Excruciatingly boring. Jumping around in time doesn’t add interest and is irritating at this point. I thought with Anthony Hopkins it must be good but man does this drop the ball. They are all running around in circles and going nowhere. Argh!

Ozark (2017) S4 E14
irdulili 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Whereas I agree with you, and would even say the car crash scene being in the first episode to set some kind of tone was a completely pointless red herring, you should’ve checked the “CONTAINS SPOILERS” box before posting.

starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

Oops. I fixed that.

Ozark (2017) S4 E14
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

No way would they have really come out of that car crash without as much as a scratch. What even was the purpose of that? Also no way would that detective have come back to do what he did. Stupid. Marty was an interesting character in the beginning but faded out. The bad guys won. Ruth should have. Disappointing ending.

The Batman (2022)
irdulili 3 points 2 years ago.

Dude, why are you so mad? Go watch TV on YesMovies or something. There’s a million other sites. Cuz the biggest waste of time is you posting all these comments like you’re carving them into the wall of a mens’ room stall. Yeah, it was the best; now it’s a really fancy TV guide with a chatroom. It’s time to move onto bargaining, depression and, finally, acceptance.

starphlo 5 points 2 years ago.

I wasn’t ready for acceptance. Is is really the end? I keep coming back here because the people are generally intelligent, friendly, do good reviews, and give me an idea of what to watch. Some comments and people on other sites are really creepy and ugly.

Severance (2022)
Alien 5 points 2 years ago.

Walken’s a demi-god.

starphlo 2 points 2 years ago.

He is so amazing to watch. I almost passed on this until I saw he was in it. . . and Arquette is another special one. The show is creepy as hell,nail biting different. Makes my claustrophobia bother me a bit tho.

Travis Finnel brought me here and I’m so glad! Fantastic series.

Ozark (2017)
MeMyselfAndEye 0 points 2 years ago.

The kids characters are brats, the wife character is annoying also.. different points in all the seasons. I wanted to see them offed.

starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

I agree about the wife. Intolerable from the beginning but she might get offed yet. Ruth makes the whole show IMO. This season is slooowwww.

Dark City (1998)
JoeAgora 9 points 2 years ago.

Holy crap! Where the hell did Dark City come from? Where the hell has it been hiding? I don’t think I ever heard of it before last week when I stumbled upon a recommendation from the Critical Drinker. It’s the Matrix…a year before the Matrix…but SO MUCH BETTER! Better style. Better acting. Better script…and WAY better directing. I am blown away. So much for my 2 decades long belief that the Matrix was original. Nope. Dark City is the original. Don’t get me wrong…the Matrix was a very interesting and entertaining movie…but where the Matrix was shiny veneer…Dark City was the soul. For sure if I had seen Dark City before the Matrix, my impression of the Matrix would have been significantly more subdued. To coin a cliché…If you liked the Matrix…you will LOVE Dark City.

starphlo 3 points 2 years ago.

I’d never heard of this either and I thought I’d seen all things Keifer. Glad you posted this!

Dexter: New Blood (2021) S1 E10
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Well like only everybody saw that one coming. Easiest way out. No more smooth talking Dexter getting out of everything. Only a Dexter making lots of mistakes, missing things and getting caught. How disappointing. The kid wouldn’t have wanted to kill him. I’m not buying it at all. And no I don’t want a spin off with Dexter as a ghost. I don’t like the Deb ghost and I don’t like Batista. So much for blowing up the internet

Truly. Serial killer music. Weird.

Van Der Valk (2020) S1 E1
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

Couldn’t get into this at all. Lots of characters with no back story and I didn’t care what they did or what happened to them. Cute guy tho.

Invasion (2021) S1 E9
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I have enjoyed this show and liked that is had a buildup with some depth…but didn’t hardly even catch what happened at the end until I read a review. Some irritating things: those two kids, closeups of the blond, always needing subs…I did like the english kid a lot, tho.

When is this chick going to start recording the conversations? SMH

starphlo 0 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Her naivety has been annoying me too but I have a feeling she’s gonna turn into a bad ass. This has proven to be a good show.

Sound of My Voice (2012)
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

That ending was awful. Waste of an hour and a half.

In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)
starphlo 2 points 2 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

“It fed on anger. It spread through fear. It made monsters out of men until even the ordinary were broken, one by one.” What an ending!

MAID (2021)
starphlo 3 points 2 years ago.

I could tell right away that whoever wrote this had real experience with domestic abuse and dysfunctional families. Too bad there aren’t more shows like this one which could be so inspirational for women in such situations. It was really exceptional in every way- storytelling, actors, settings. Even the little 3-yr-old was great and so adorable. IMDB rates this at 8.6 and in my opinion it is 10/10.

Nine Perfect Strangers (2021) S1 E8
starphlo 4 points 2 years ago.

This was just beautiful. Great actors, gorgeous scenery and architecture, funny, sad, different. I loved it. Nicole isn’t convincing as a Russian but she is stunning still

Chapelwaite (2021) S1 E1
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

How can I get subs?

Succession (2018) S1 E2
starphlo 0 points 2 years ago.

Does this get any better? I’ve heard good things about this but I’m not seeing it. Kinda sucks, imo.

Pig (2021)
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

Well that was different…wild and weird. Just like Nic Cage. Love this guy!

Vienna Blood (2019)
starphlo 2 points 2 years ago.

This was excellent. My only complain is that there are no more episodes. Very well made. The victorian sets were amazing, characters engaging, stories very interesting. 5/5

Black Widow (2021)
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

High on the action and low on plot. Maybe it would make more sense if I had watched all the prior Marvel movies the but quality has been so poor lately.

Kung Fu (2021)
starphlo 3 points 2 years ago.

If you’ve never seen the original Kung Fu, do yourself a favor and check it out. I was mesmerized by it as a kid and it was my first glimpse into eastern thought. Carridine was excellent and there were many very young actors who went on to become famous…Jodie Foster, William Shatner and many more. It is still probably my favorite show of all time so I’m sure this one won’t even compare but I will give it a try.

Homeland (2011) S3 E12
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I’m late watching this series but was enjoying it a lot until this episode. This has ruined my whole day. What a bunch of egotistical psychopaths, playing their power trips out with the lives of other people. Brody went through several hells only to be sacrificed in the end…and they all just get over it, make friends again, smile and continue on. Disgusting.

Professor T (2021)
Zenz-XIII 1 points 2 years ago.

Was this version cancelled then? I just wanted you to know how many seasons/eps there could be.

starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

Idk for certain. It just says “to be determined” under the image above.

The Mosquito Coast (2021) S1 E7
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

How beautifully poetic! Sailing off into the sunrise….in tears and on a dilapidated boat. Still don’t know what’s going on but that’s ok. I like the main character, brilliant, adventurous and probably on the spectrum. The son is too weird tho. .. and they really needed to tell the kids wth is going on.

Professor T (2021)
Zenz-XIII 3 points 2 years ago.

Currently rewatching the belgian original (I speak Dutch but it has English subs) OG has 3 seasons with 13 episodes each. (I could not watch the UK version because OG is so much better)

starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

Thanks! I’ll give it a try but I hate subs…

Professor T (2021)
starphlo 1 points 2 years ago.

I love this show. Hope they renew it…He’s sort of like Monk only edgier and a lot more serious.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017) S4 E9

Like real events these days, the criminals just keep getting away with everything

The Mosquito Coast (2021)
starphlo 2 points 2 years ago.

This added some excitement to my boring weekend! Great show. Now I will be going back to watch the originals.

Cruella (2021)
starphlo 0 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I thoroughly enjoyed this except for the soundtrack. At times it was jarring. Whoever did that should never be allowed to do another one. There were a few great Stone songs,one super horrible rendition of the Beatles “Come Together” and other tunes that didn’t fit. The CGI of the little dog wasn’t too believable at times. Otherwise, I loved it. Cool castle and costumes.

Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler (2019)

I made it to season 2 ep 4 and have completely lost interest.
