I feel like a kid on the 4th of July that just lit the big finale rocket expecting an amazing display of color and majesty and instead gets rewarded with a popcorn fart. Definitely not the ending that this great series deserved IMO. I guess we will have to be satisfied with a spin-off, but Please Mr. Mercurio, do not let it suck!

Really beautiful, eye opening Documentary about the self-sufficient hunting lifestyle of the Inuit people. It’s fascinating to watch them use every part of the Seal’s body (not just the skin) to sustain themselves, just like their ancestors did.

A poignant drama of human suffering and Survival during Wartime. The Chinese people suffered terribly at the hands of the Japanese and their own corrupt Govt. during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War. Adrien Brody and Tim Robbins make an appearance in this poignant human drama.

I would also highly recommend City of Life and Death about the Rape of Nanking (or Nanjing) in 1937.

After the first episode I was not convinced Season 2 was going to be on par with Season 1 in terms of script but the writers are playing the LONG game in Season 2, and after Episode 3, after a slow burn and some nice character development, you will be hooked for the long haul. So many times in nordic noir the REASON WHY the killer is killing is often neglected for the WHODUNNIT factor. Not the case with this series.

Based on the amazing true story of Jun-Shik, this has always been in my Top 10 Best Foreign WW2 Movies List.

Very few movies made about the Chinese Civil War and this one was awesome.

Utter garbage. Tom Clancy would roll over in his grave and vomit at this PC POS. Not sure what Taylor Sheridan was trying to do but this was nowhere near the quality of script he is known for. I hear Jack Ryan Season 3 is on tap for early 2022 so maybe it will not suck (Knock on wood).

Really well done Danish Crime Thriller. Season 1 was head and shoulders above Season 2 in terms of originality of script and character development but both Seasons are worth a watch regardless.

After watching Sean Harris in The King I went back and watched some of his older series and movies. This one stuck out to me the most. Excellent script and acting.

The more I watch Carmichael the more I just want to slap the taste out of her mouth.

“Jesus Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey” is now going to be added to my personal library of creative exclamations. Thank you DCS Hastings! 👍

Really well done layered writing combined with methodical character development equal a very ENGAGING series! Peter Kurth (from Babylon Berlin) does a fantastic job!

Not Bad for a Russian WW2 Movie. Amazing story.
If you enjoy flicks like this I recommend Stalingrad (1993) Fortress of War (2010) The Dawns Here are Quiet (2015) and The Battle for Sevestopol (2015) for starters.

A True Classic! Definitely in the Top 10 of Best French Crime Cinema. Don’t forget Le Cercle Rouge (The Red Circle), Le Samourai, A Cop and Rififi for starters…

Tight little German Crime Drama Series.
Many Thanks Linkers. This site would not be here without you guys!

In the pantheon of Churchill actors and movies, this one with Albert Finney is hard to beat. Gary Oldman and Brendan Gleeson were not bad (Darkest Hour and Into the Storm) Michael Gambon in Churchill’s Secret was rather dry and flat, while John Lithgow in the Crown did a surprisingly good job. Two that don’t get much attention are Timothy Spall in The King’s Speech, (I thought his diction was spot on) and Ian Mune in Ike: Countdown to D-Day. His banter with Bernard Montgomery was hilarious.

Gritty, Raw and Real. There are no happy endings in movies like this for a reason. Keep your kids close and raise them right.

Wow, this is a HBO crime series? Felt more like a chick flick/teenage ABC soap opera to me. So much for those True Detective comparisons. Still, Ingelsby is a decent writer, so let’s see what happens.

See, that’s the problem with these series, with the long hiatus between Seasons I have now forgotten 80% of Season 1 and have to go back and re-watch! Oh well, there are worse things in life…Season 2 looks to be a good’un.

Amazing true story of WW1 and the Royal Engineer Tunnelers.
If you have not seen it, I highly recommend Beneath Hill 60 as well (About the Australian Tunnelers)

“The Spy who Saved the World” should be required reading for every High School Senior in the U.S. right now more than ever. Really well done Cold War movie.

Predictable action flick but an enjoyable watch. Props to Odenkirk for the training he did for this one, not bad for a dude pushing 60.
I did a double take on Michael Ironside. My God did he eat the catering van? I don’t think you can handle another COVID lockdown Mike. 😅

Decent little Swedish Crime flick starring Joel Kinnamen, before his across the pond stardom and Matias Varela (Arne Dahl) and Dragomir Mrsic (Alex). Word is Netflix is coming out with a series by the same name (Snabba Cash) 4/7/21.

This is a prequel to Detective Inspector Irene Huss that ran from 2007-2011. Both are lightweight Swedish police procedurals.

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!

Bill Burr suggested this movie on his podcast and if you are a fan of the late, great Seymour Hoffman, check it out. A quirky sad ride on the rollercoaster of life.

I grew up with the old school Japanese Godzilla movies at the drive-in and then when the Original King Kong came out in 1976 with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lang? Forget about it!! Now it’s all CGI and Green Screen and but I still enjoyed this one for what it was: A Titan Battle Royale (as did my kids!)

One of the better music docs I have seen in quite some time.
Tina Turner is tough as shoe leather!
A strong inspiration for the whine-bag victimhood cancel culture for sure.
A reminder to us all that Only the strong survive and the best Revenge is always Success!

If you know Boston Crime History you will quickly recognize this series is a muddled amalgamation of several Boston crime events and criminal and law enforcement personalities. Really weak script overall. They should have concentrated more on the street side instead of trying to imitate the Wire and be all layered. Simple is best with crime series otherwise you get fake crap like this.

If you like Mindhunter, check this series out. FBI agent Robert Ressler was involved in the main interview. A very well put together Documentary where you might actually learn a thing or two you did not know before about this bizarre case.
