The Little Things (2021)

A new movie for Denzel Washington, Jared Leto, and Rami Malek. And watch three Oscar winners tangle.

Walker (2021)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago*.

I didn’t watch Walker, Texas Ranger but I’m willing to give this new drama a go.

A Discovery of Witches (2018)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago*.

I’m looking forward to season 2 which starts next week!The 3rd season of “A Discovery of Witches” jumps back 600 years and becomes a costume drama. Which should be interesting to say the least.

The Name of the Rose (1986)
SheWatches 1 points 3 years ago.

I never knew about this movie. I found it browsing IMDB murder mysteries and pulled it up here to watch. It’s a really good murder mystery movie - 2 hrs long but you don’t feel like it’s too long. Sean Connery and Christian Slater. This was a really good find and I’m glad I watched it. Thoroughly appreciated it. Enjoy!

Did you notice there is also a tv series? I think I started watching and stopped, may have to give it another go.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
PonderThis 4 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Did you all watch through the closing credits? If not, you missed a special guest appearance by someone! The guest appearance isn’t at the beginning of the credits but about half way through the closing credits. It sometimes pays to watch the credits.
I do agree that is was a bit cheesy and I didn’t care for the Maxwell Lord character at all. It seemed that a lot of movies in the 80’s were a bit cheesy but I don’t think the director of this movie had that in mind when she set out to direct this movie. Special affects and cgi were spot on and who doesn’t like looking at Chris Pine!

Pedro Pascal……we know him as Mando…….Grugo’s protector…….aka…the Mandalorian!

Sylvie's Love (2020)
PonderThis 0 points 3 years ago.

This looks interesting and Nnamdi Asomugha is a former NFL player and one of a few who has turned to acting after hanging up the cleats. He learned how to play the saxophone for this movie. Plan on watching this over the holiday break.

The Mandalorian (2019) S2 E8
PonderThis 0 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

My mind was processing the scene with Luke or was this a young Anakin (Luke’s father)? I was thinking Grogu isn’t Yoda and trying to figure things out. No one said his name in the scene, so are we sure it’s actually Luke Skywalker? We all assume it’s Luke. Remember Darth Vader was his father. Could he be Anakin Skywalker instead of Luke? And Anakin was a Jedi and he spent time with Yoda before going over to the dark side.

The Mandalorian (2019) S2 E8
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

I think there is some subtle imagery used in this series. Hear me out on this, every time I see the spaceship that Mando is now using (along with the other 2 people) looks like a Greek or Roman helmet. They both were fierce soldiers and the helmet did change over time. Maybe I’m the only one who sees this?

Loki (2021)
PonderThis 5 points 3 years ago*.

I just saw the trailer for this series and it is gonna be good! Can’t wait for it and it too is going on my list to watch! I think I even saw a nod to B.D. Cooper too………and good to see Owen Wilson again, I’ve always like him and I think his character is going to be a good one!

Shadow in the Cloud (2021)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

I just saw the trailer for this movie and it isn’t going to be the typical WWII movie to say the least. It will be released on January 14th and I’m putting it on my list to watch!

Continuum (2012) S1 E1
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

I see William B. Davis is in this drama playing the older Alec Sadler. Many of you may know him as the “Smoking Man” in the X-Files drama and in the X-Files, he played a creepy and shadowy character and he is once again at it in this drama too. So far, I’m liking this drama and will continue to watch all episodes and every season…..may take awhile, but I’ve got time! I’ve been working from home since mid-March and will continue to work from home in the new year too. Maybe by early summer I’ll be able to head back to campus and work from my office, until then, I shall be enjoying some more wonderful offerings here on primewire!

Big Sky (2020) S1 E5
PonderThis -1 points 3 years ago.

Holy S#%T!! I didn’t see that coming and what a cliffhanger!!!!

The Gloaming (2020)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

This is not a typical crime drama to say the least. I don’t think it could be labeled supernatural. A few of the convicts from Great Britian that were sent to Australia brought with them a different type of religion. Over the centuries it became a type of folklore that the locals talked about. A few still practice this religion on the island of Tasmania. Not sure if this drama is one of but if there is another season not sure what direction it will go. Odd, but intriguing and if you’re into mystical stuff, give it a go.

The 2nd (2020)
PonderThis 0 points 3 years ago.

This movie would have been good if there were better actors in it! Where do they get these people?! They really ruined the movie and the only good actor was Ryan!

Chicago P.D. (2014)
PonderThis 0 points 3 years ago.

Two episodes is all we get until January 6th!?!? Why even start the season if we’re only going to get 2 episodes now! Same thing with Chicago Fire!

Big Sky (2020) S1 E1
PonderThis 4 points 3 years ago.

HOLY S**T! That’s all I’m gonna say!

The Crown (2016) S4 E6
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

Poor Diana, she didn’t stand a chance at all! If it weren’t for her boys and divorce she probably would have followed through and killed herself. A complex beautiful lady for sure but all she wanted was the love of her husband! What a fool he was! Jealousy from Charles isn’t a surprise since he has the personality of a rock! Sorry to the Brits for my Charles comment but I think you know I’m right.

The Mandalorian (2019) S2 E3
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

Did anyone notice that Bryce Dallas Howard directed this episode? In case you don’t know who she is, she is Ron Howard’s daughter.

Mank (2020)
PonderThis 0 points 3 years ago.

Just saw a segment on CBS This morning about this movie and it looks interesting. It was shot in black and white and I think gives a movie more depth. Sure color is great but black and white works with this movie. Here is more info about this movie……Eventually, the project was officially announced in July 2019, and filming took place around Los Angeles from November 2019 to February 2020. Mank is scheduled to be released in a limited theatrical release on November 13, 2020, before beginning to stream on Netflix on December 4, 2020.

Trial & Retribution (1997) S11 E5
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

Well, you’ll never guess who popped up in this episode? Tom Ellis from Lucifer! Yup, a really baby faced Tom Ellis from 12 years ago. His part was rather short and…………and you’re wondering how I saw this episode without links aren’t you?

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago*.

Of course I have a soft spot for Gil Gerard because he’s from my home state. I, too, watched this tv series and it was okay for the time. They didn’t have CGI or many of the other technologies that are used now to create spectacular images. Thanks to the success of Star Wars, a whole new type of drama was created but I feel it started with the original Star Trek series of the mid 1960’s. Gene Roddenberry was influenced by what to create this unique space drama? Man hadn’t landed on the moon yet and the cartoon The Jetsons hit the tv airwaves in 1962. Wouldn’t it be funny if Gene was inspired by the cartoon the Jetsons? I won’t mention Lost In Space….even though I watched it, it is so laughable now but look at what these shows did, it inspired production companies to create better space travel dramas and inspired so many to look up at the stars and daydream about what is out there in the deep corners of the universe!

The Undoing (2020)
PonderThis 4 points 3 years ago.

This starts next Sunday and I shall give it a go. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, hmmmm……seeing Hugh doing a non-comedy should be interesting.

Black Narcissus (2020)
PonderThis 3 points 3 years ago.

This arrives in late November and Diana Rigg is in this series. This is her last tv appearance and she had a part in a movie; Last Night in Soho which will be released in April of 2021. When this series start, I shall be watching.

The Stand (2020)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

Wow, a mixed bag of actors in this new drama adapted from a Stephen King novel. Not sure about Amber Heard and she is my LEAST favorite actor and maybe her acting has gotten better. I won’t go into my issue with her and Johnny Depp. Will give this a go when it arrives in December.

Honest Thief (2020)
NoelCoyotebleu 2 points 3 years ago.

Oh look! It’s Liam in the same movie again. I KNOW he has more nuanced actor skills, sure wish they would cast him in something that could utilize them. I love him, so I will watch…. just sayin.

PonderThis 3 points 3 years ago.

I watched it Saturday and was thinking the same thing. But it seems that right after the death of Natasha Richardson, he began to make one movie after the other. It was as if he needed to keep really busy to not possibly go over the deep end or drink a lot. He isn’t young anymore and not sure how he keeps the pace up for action movies.

The Witches (2020)
Jhigh03 5 points 3 years ago.

The remake/reimagining that this page refers to is A HBO Max exclusive. If There is a movie titled The Witches streaming on Netflix Then it’s probably the original. We have it on PW, here’s the page link https://www.primewire.li/movie/225671-watch-the-witches I enjoyed it as a kid. Hope it holds up well, Enjoy and take it easy.

PonderThis -1 points 3 years ago.

No, wrong movie! This is a new one coming out soon.

Trial & Retribution (1997)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

This has been an interesting crime series so far! Iain Glen at the age of 37 in one episode. Now you’re asking yourself how could I have watched any episodes without links?

Alexander (2004)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

Some unexpected people in this movie….Val Kilmer, Johnathan Rys Meyers, Christopher Plummer, and Jared Leto. Just started the movie and it’s over 3 hours long…..thank goodness for the pause button……

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000)
PonderThis 3 points 3 years ago.

If you love CSI as much as I did/have, then get ready for a limited CSI series! It was suppose to air on October 6, 2020 but due to COVID-19, it has been pushed back. CSI first aired on October 6, 2000 and spawned a couple of spin offs but none were as good as the original CSI. No new release date has been given, but stay tuned!

Mirage (2020)

is this n french/?

PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

More English is spoken than French and there are English subtitles when French is spoken.

Das Boot (1985)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

One thing I’ve noticed in the 2018 series and this 1985 series, the music! Very foreboding (Ahnung), dark, pensive music. Of course this was a dark time all around the world and count on the Germans have this dark, pensive foreboding music in the background. It’s rather haunting.

News of the World (2020)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

I’ve seen the trailer for this and it looks very good and will be released on my birthday! https://www.imdb.com/video/vi4119183641?playlistId=tt6878306&ref_=tt_ov_vi

Masters of the Air (2024)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

This mini series sounds good and the 3rd installment of the Band of Brothers and The Pacific set of World War II miniseries. Still no release date though. I will be looking forward to this one!

Das Boot (2018) S2 E5
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

I love it when I catch a blooper! And good know it happens in other countries too. There is supposed to be a piece of potato on his fork and magically it has disappeared and no, he didn’t eat it either.

Cut Throat City (2020)
PonderThis 4 points 3 years ago.

I’ve always liked Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes and will put this movie on my list to watch.

Das Boot (2018)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

I usually don’t watch movies/tv series that have subtitles, but I knew this series would be good! I’m a huge fan of WWII movies/tv series and I like to see how other countries depict WWII. I was curious to see how a former axis country would depict their role in WWII. Not sure how factual this drama is in their depiction but it is interesting to say the least.

The Good Lord Bird (2020)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

Well, that first episode was interesting and not all what I expected! I will continue to watch and see how this plays out.

Silent Hill: Revelation (2012)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

I love Sean Bean and who could resist Kit Harrington? Carrie-Ann Moss is also in the movie…..another one going on my list to watch.

28 Days Later (2003)
PonderThis 4 points 3 years ago.

Attention all Peaky Blinder fans, Cillian Murphy is in this movie from 2002! I’ll have to put this on my list to watch too.

Cutting Class (1992)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

Brad Pitt was in this movie after he did Thelma & Louise? Just might have to make time to watch this movie. He was still a little green in T & L and I’d like to see if he’s found his acting chops yet.

A Call to Spy (2020)
PonderThis 4 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I like WWII movies and I always like to watch WWII movies made about the European allies. This was a very good movie! I could tell that Stana Katic is not a smoker! She should have spent more time holding and smoking the cigarettes. They were like foreign objects in her fingers. Yes, I notice the little subtle things. But all in all, it was a very good movie. Now off I go to google Virginia Hall & Vera Atkins and learn more about these 2 remarkable women of WWII.

The Witches (2020)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

What an awesome cast for this remake! Mark your calendars for October 7th!

Resident Evil (2002)
Euringer 1 points 3 years ago.

Paul WS Anderson and Milla Jovovich have been married for a few decades I think. I honestly believe (besides just he likes sexy ladies in tight leather and skirts) there’s a bit of an exhibition aspect where he appreciates the opportunity to have $50,000 wardrobes of sexy clothes tailored for his wife.

PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

In “Afterlife” she’s dressed in pants or a jumpsuit and it looks sleek and it looks like more than $50,000 was used for the wardrobe. In the other movies it looks like the wardrobe department went to some thrift stores for clothing! 😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

Resident Evil (2002)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

I’ve watched all of the Resident Evil movies and for the life of me, I don’t know why the director always has Alice and other females in skimpy dresses! Seriously? The story line always has her fighting etc so why not put her in something more feasible or suitable for those fight scenes! She’s not going to a club or the opera for goodness sake!

The Domestics (2018)
PonderThis 3 points 3 years ago.

Wasn’t a bad little movie! I actually enjoyed it! Now I have this urge to make up a survival list of items I will need if such a thing like this were to happen! Now if there is a zombie apocalypse, I’ve seen enough tv shows and movies to know what to do and would combine the 2 list. 😁😁😁😁😁😁 I’m always thinking ahead and prepared too! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Halifax: Retribution (2020) S1 E6
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

I was shocked! I wasn’t expecting that! Hate runs deep I guess!

Ashes to Ashes (2008)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

I learned something I didn’t know! Robert Glenister and Philip Glenister are BROTHERS! Robert is the older of the 2 and both are fine, fine actors!

Helstrom (2020)
PonderThis -5 points 3 years ago*.

No, no, no! I just watched the trailer and even though it’s intriguing, I don’t care for drama’s/movies with satanic overtones. I’ve never watch The Exorcist and even hearing the theme song played on the radio when I was a teen unnerved me to the point I had to sleep clutching my bible. Laugh if you must, but I draw the line…some believe in neither God nor the devil but where does that evil come from……hmmmm?

2036 Origin Unknown (2018)
PonderThis 1 points 3 years ago.

That is 94 minutes I wish I could get back! Was a total waste of my time!
