Capernaum (2018)
EchotaChick 6 points 2 years ago.

As I’m currently speechless but want to share this jewel of a movie, I’ll just say that I agree with every quote on the cover. From, “prepare to be blown away,” and “a stunning piece of cinema,” to “a kind of filmmaking miracle that boggles the mind.” And on down the line. I didn’t want this movie to end, and I rarely ever say that.

Southern Survival (2020)

surviving the south ? easy ! Just don’t be black,gay,functionally literate or atheist !

EchotaChick 7 points 3 years ago.

Racism and homophobia are everywhere. We have reason to be positive, though. The generations coming up into adulthood seem to be overwhelmingly open and accepting of differences. They think that we older people (as a whole) are ridiculous! Then again, many of us can be proud of rearing these less biased humans. *Btw, worst thing to be here: Democrat. =\

Fargo (2014) S4 E11
EchotaChick 4 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Minute 22:00 to 24:00 is one of, if not THE, most moving 2 minutes of television I’ve ever seen. Never would’ve guessed Chris Rock would play a role in that, so kudos to him. Not my favorite storyline in the Fargo series, but the actors are great - making for several memorable moments. OH, the very last scene is awesome too! Fargo fans will make the connection when they see a surprise!! special guest star.

The Gilded Age (2022) S1 E1
Alien 0 points 2 years ago.

It definitely doesn’t have the style and elegance of Downton Abbey and the acting from Carrie Coon leaves a lot to be desired. The snobbishness is very in your face, not subtle and well practiced like the Crawley family. It’s all about one-upmanship. I don’t see how family members can stand each other.
I will not be watching again.

EchotaChick 4 points 2 years ago.

Yeh, it’s called The Gilded Age b/c of all the money and snobbery. It definitely doesn’t have the nuance of D Abbey, but I love just LOOKING at everything. Bet it cost a fortune developing.

Trump: An American Dream (2017)
grasshopper rex 7 points 3 years ago.

I was only referencing the current presidency. That seemed obvious.

EchotaChick 4 points 3 years ago.

OK, thank you and sorry! Do you see how it could be read to mean, “the nightmare that is America is almost over” ? So I was just wondering. And yes, even though I’m a lefty, snowflake, socialist lil punk, I’m tired of people taking a big dump on the USA. Kicking people when they’re down is cowardly and shows a lack of imagination.

Warning (2021)
EchotaChick 4 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

A look at how the future could be. Kept my interest throughout. Has several well-known actors/actresses. I agree w/other reviewers, it was similar to Black Mirror. Most of us will have to use our noggins, but it’s not overly complicated. I give it 4/5 stars.

EchotaChick 6 points 2 years ago.

Noooo!!! To the person who felt tricked into watching a “teen romance,” don’t skip these last episodes - they are wonderfully acted and the story is far from a teen romance. Beautiful scenery, of course. So good! I hope this family gets another episode or season to see how the Duttons settle. Of course, we all want to know about Sam now, too.

I am going to guess - a lot! Powerful show! Great talents.

Dark Side of the '90s (2021)
mossryder 1 points 2 years ago.

Also, the 90s aren’t generally known as some idyllic decade to begin with. politics, economy, civil rights. All a terrible mess.

EchotaChick 3 points 2 years ago.

Not a mess to me. Best years of my life. I will say that the Oklahoma City Bombing was horrible, but the economy among other things was on the up for me and my family/friends. The 2000’s have been exciting, terrifying, upsetting, weird, HOPEful for a bit, then down, down, down the drain: a mess.

Enola Holmes (2020)
PacificLilly 3 points 3 years ago*.

Thanks for the sneak peek Robo. I had no idea this movie existed until now. I’m really looking forward to seeing this! Thanks for always helping the rest of us here find cool movies and shows to watch!

And major kudos, thanks, hugs and gratitude to all of our Primewire link posters, uploaders and the like!!! You all are always so on top of things, put in so much time and effort so the rest of us can watch any of our shows and movies as soon as they are available! But I was flabbergasted, super surpised yet again!!! To be able to watch this the day before (or the day of depending on timezones) when it is released is fan-flipping-tastic!!! It’s almost like magic!!!! Thank you all, sincerely, so very much for all of your hard work, time and efforts!

Honestly, Primewire and all that the volunteers do/contribue for us here is, to put it simply… Is a blessing to me. I am disabled and often can’t go or do many of the things I want to. (At least not now/yet. I am still hopeful to get better/heal, eventually) So, I 1,000% rely on coming here to chitchat/discuss, and watch, all kinds of shows/movies! Being able to watch these shows/movies and have fun cinema discussions (and keeping in touch with my PW family about life and etc.) are often times literally my only way or means to escape my complicated medical issues, pain, stress/frustration, boredom (even more so now being quarantined bc of Covid-19)! Getting to watch shows/movies let’s my imagination run free and keep my mind engaged and learn new things! I honest-to-goodness don’t know what I would do without this site and all of you wonderful people who keep it running! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 🙏🙇💌😻🥰♥️

PacificLilly, hi! We should compare notes! For a minute reading your post, I thought, “When did I watch Enola Holmes and write this comment?!”

The Crime of the Century (2021) S1 E1
yellow_rose1 4 points 3 years ago.

same to you crane. It’s astounding how many people are affected by greed for sure. My daughter was born addicted and I have to live with that gilt for the rest of my life. I still remember the doctor telling me oh don’t worry we will just ween her off when she’s born. There won’t be any last effects. It was gut wrenching to see her be “weened”. Who knows what lasting effects it has as I’ve come to learn they haven’t done any studies on it

EchotaChick 3 points 3 years ago*.

I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve endured, yellow rose. I think if everybody could see and hear, in person, our stories, they wouldn’t be so quick to judge and blame. As I told crane, it’s not black or white. There’s plenty of blame to go all around. Now, we’re just killing off another group of “nobodies,” so who cares? It’s sad.

Chin up. The American nightmare is almost over.

What do you mean by that? Before any assumptions are made - my nightmares have been the years 2000 to 2008 and 2016 to present.

The Green Knight (2021)
EchotaChick 4 points 2 years ago.

Welllll, I like it! I WILL LOVE it. I appreciate being able to watch now; it’s just too dark. But I’m looking forward to a DVD version! This film is an artful & modern interpretation of the classic tale of Sir Gawain and The Green Knight which can be (sorta) considered a spin off of Le Morte d’Arthur/Camelot/Excalibur. If anyone has trouble understanding the movie (especially because the filmmaker takes a lot of poetic license), I can give you a link to an excellent article that is both a quick explanation of the film -and if you want to know more - a mini refresher course about legends of knights, chivalry, Christianity, magic, the Dark & Middle Ages & how it’s all entangled. It makes everything perfectly clear. More of y’all will then like, maybe even love, the movie! ;) P.S. Don’t be afraid to say it’s nonsensical b/c it IS without the background knowledge. Who remembers all of Senior year English Lit?! =) Cheerio!

The Outsider (2020)
RoboPhone 8 points 4 years ago*.

eff 01/12 : Brand New Crime Horror/Thriller begins with 10 episodes. It was adapted from legendary horror writer Stephen King, who has now masterfully ventured into the world of criminal investigations.

Interestingly enough, one of the main characters in this series, Holly Gibney, is the same character (albeit different actor) from his 3 Mr. Mercedes Novels turned TV Series.

Definitely worth watching!

EchotaChick 3 points 4 years ago.

I can’t believe I didn’t put 2 and 2 together about Holly! Love both Mr. Mercedes and The Outsider. Hoping The Golden Age of Television continues with more programs like these. Thanks for sharing that info, Robo. ~Echo

Oh gosh, thanks crane! I’m fine but worried about others who’ve been VERY hurt by the demonization of all pain meds and EVerybody connected to them. It’s not black or white. You hit the nail on the head, too, “It’s hard to even keep track of all the ways,” people are getting shanked. Lord help us!!

The Chameleon Killer (2021)
EchotaChick 3 points 3 years ago.

Thumbs up for telling a story I hadn’t already heard. But what an evil man. No telling what else that monster did. My one complaint: it seems that these interviewees are directed to talk as slowly as possible & to repeat things. They’re not dumb people, so to the directors - stop. It’s your fault if you can’t find enough material to produce. I wish I could tell Eric that his & his sister’s eyes carry a light their father never had & not to let that man steal another second of the gift of life. Thank you, uploaders & Primewire peeps!

The Last Man on Earth (2015)

I am so pissed this got cancelled. And it is left on a major cliffhanger too. This show is so much better than the crap it got replaced with.

4/5 as long as the daughter doesn’t make any dumb moves going further. Though I do suspect she is the weak link in that chain. Btw, I’m on the side of the family..and I want to know what he did; it better not be like stole the White house’s pet

EchotaChick 2 points 3 years ago.

Weak link? Did you watch this episode in its entirety? :D

Thanks EchotaChick. I cried my eyes out for about an hour of this hour and half long movie.

EchotaChick 2 points 2 years ago.

You’re welcome MsDuhMeanor, but I’m sorry it made you cry so much! I had read something about the movie so was prepared. Still, I ugly cried for maybe 15 minutes during the climatic scenes and the conclusion. Oh man!

Murder on Middle Beach (2020) S1 E3
EchotaChick 2 points 3 years ago.

Wow! This is one of the best crime documentaries I’ve ever seen! I so badly want to talk to someone about Aunt Conway’s body language versus Sister Allie’s. Conway looks open and relaxed while interviewed and expressing her opinion. Allie, however, appears nervous, closed off (arms AND legs crossed at the pier), and constantly shakes her head back and forth when answering the toughest questions.

CaptKSKS 8 points 2 years ago.

It is entirely period accurate, the snobbishness of the New York Elite has always been more in your face then the quiet stiff upper lip of the British aristocracy. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be watching.

TX2Guns 4 points 2 years ago*.

Good movie but a Tough watch. Next time you start feeling like your life is so hard and unbearable, watch this movie and re-evaluate. I felt more anger toward the parents than anything. Sad Deal.

EchotaChick 2 points 2 years ago.

TX2, I couldn’t agree more! It was so sad, but throughout whenever the kid figured out a solution, it was such a joy to see! So it’s heartbreaking but with little victories throughout and even a few funny moments. My family probably thought I’d lost my mind - giggling one minute then blubbering so much (at the inevitable).

So after watching part1 when I just finished watching part2, I’d say I prefer this one more, perhaps it because it was much more funnier to me. And yes you can still miss out on Part 1 and enjoy Part2 just the same and not feel lost. At least I didn’t because they did provide some back story. Nice little movies for the weekend, regardless..Happy Camper I AM

ALOHA, NoelCoyotebleu! So funny, I had a handle similar to yours on a different site….Great minds! =) I do much better w/subs also. My R side hearing was injured by chronic infection.

If you’re into lab-testing ‘n stuff… this might be the diggity. ‘Cuz, its kinda like a UFO version of Oak Island, a zillion stories and digging. Dig. Dig. Debate and more Diggity. No one expects a spaceship to pop out of a hole (nor a golden chalice on Oak Island). And yet I’m totally onboard and here for it every week - and there’s no explanation for that anomaly either.

EchotaChick 2 points 2 years ago*.

“No explanation for that anomaly either,” nearly spewed my Coke, Sunglasses Dude(tte?)! Shades?? Is Elon Musk your dad?!!;) Just Kidding! JK! I love your name and am jealous! ..I know, I love this show so much. It’s in the top 5 I look forward to weekly. That’s a sad lament on the state of TV, is it not? I used to ADORE Oak Island but it bores me straight to sleep now. They need a new show runner or producer or someone to come in and save them. I see bad resemblances of OI in SoSR. Some very privileged person must’ve seen great ratings and viewership ~Season 2 or 3 w/OI and thought: “We have a winning formula! Apply to all H Channel shows!” Ppl tried early telling Boss that the formula was just making for a faster snowball to a Hot climate, but they learned their lesson before they were fired (hey, more heat to melt snow). Now everyone’s too scared to tell Boss (bet it’s that announcer) he’s ruining the already laughable network. Call it Fake History? ..Oh yehhh, 1st on this yo-yo list was Ancient Aliens, another love/hate affair for sure. Anyway, I hope this show stays interesting at least and that they’ll know when to hang it up once it’s not. ;) Sorry to Ramble On.

The Outsider (2020)
Jhigh03 0 points 4 years ago.

Ive ways thought she was. Not sure if you know but Mr. Mercedes, also by King, has Holly in it also. Though she is played by a white chick and a little more aloof, so while both Characters show some social awkwardness that one for sure shows signs of Asperger’s. also, not sure if i was clear earlier but the BTS content for episodes 8,9 and 10 were all shown as one at the end of the finale. I used the mixdrop link also, I’m not sure if any of the other links are the same cut of video.

EchotaChick 2 points 4 years ago.

Aww, thank you!! Yes, I’ve loved that Holly my name also, shh! since S1 Mr M! Great show, too, though S1 was by oceans the best, imo. Love both Holly’s, too, b/c my oldest has autism. K, gotta go watch that again b/c I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to it. TY again! =)

The Gilded Age (2022) S1 E1
EchotaChick 2 points 2 years ago.

Don’t know if it will be as important as Downton Abbey, but scenery, sets, costumes are all so divine, I would watch it without the dialogue. No, I wouldn’t, but yes, gorgeous to look at; just hope plot catches up to the same caliber. Also, I agree w/Alien about Carrie Coon. She is so much better than this. I hope it wasn’t a mistake casting her as Mrs. Russell. Maybe her character will experience profound growth throughout the series. Agnes, too, oh brother! Baranski plays Agnes brilliantly, but my favorite, so far, is Cynthia Nixon as Ada. I have NEVER cared for CN, didn’t like her Sex in the City role <maybe why. Anyway, try it out, esp if you love extravagant set design & beautiful gowns.

Game of Thrones (2011)
Snowdrop -2 points 2 years ago.

OMG!!!! This is really boring! I don’t understand what all the fuss is about???? I was never keen to watch this because of all the hype but I actually ran out of things to watch so here I am! I managed to sit through the first 4 episodes and almost fell asleep. It’s very slow and so far really uneventful storywise :( I don’t know if this show is a slow burner that takes at least One season before you can get into it but I’m not sure if I want to waste another 6 hours to find that out :( :( YAWN!

EchotaChick 2 points 2 years ago*.

You’re an astute observer! It does take awhile to get your teeth into it. S1 has to tell a story but there are sooo many characters to introduce. Also lots of mentions about things that seem out of context, but that later make sense. (Had many a-ha! moments:) I liked S1 lots, but it wasn’t until the latter half S1 and subsequent seasons that GOT was a 10/10 consistent favorite. And there’s something for everyone! Nearly every genre fits (outside kids’ stuff). If you care to continue with GOT, peek at the family or character “trees,” maps and other guides online that I sometimes had to reference for understanding - not chat rooms or opinions, “just the facts, ma’am” sources. Heartbreaking, iconic, & shocking scenes are coming, leading to an epic showdown! I don’t know how the crew managed to film the huge battles in this fictional world, but it’s impressive. Lastly, I used CC a lot; it helped with dialects, names, & comprehension. Anyone on the fence, try GOT. My college-aged son finally watched while “sheltered-in” & it’s become his all-time favorite. Now, I have to ask HIM about puzzling events. =)

The Mosquito Coast (2021) S1 E1
EchotaChick 2 points 3 years ago.

Great start! Going straight into my beloved, albeit very short, list of Current Favorite Series. Theroux is terrific; he can be soft, subtle and laid back - then a force of nature. He seems comfortable as Allie and it’s good to see him laugh! George and the kids are good, too. The four are believable as a nuclear unit, even if we don’t yet know why they’re in a quandary. My one complaint: long, wordless takes of characters staring at who-knows-what. If that’s entertainment, I can turn off the show and watch MY nuclear unit. ;D

Sorry about your friend, Crane. How about the new victims of the Crisis: now we have millions of people in real pain who commit suicide or just wish they were dead, all because the whole country freaked out and threw us babies out with the bath water. I.e., can’t get meds b/c other people took advantage of the system. I love this country but not nearly as much as I used to.

Hello! Enjoy Legion!I am very jealous of you and anyone else who is just beginning to watch this series! 10/10 stars from me. I got lost a LOT, so I had to watch and often re-watch, sometimes even a 2nd rewatch. It was worth it, though! And even when I just could not figure something out, it would be explained later. The last season, especially, wraps it all up beautifully. Watch it, peoples of earth! =)
