What are you streaming/watching?

Knowing you as I think I do, you will enjoy this.

 

I loved Snatch, one of Brad Pitt's best movies IMHO..
My wife hated it...

I still call my dogs 'dags' to this day..

Snatch was awesome, my wife lasted 20 minutes with this one, which means its great because she has very bad taste of what is actually good/ great/ awesome.

 

Fixing to re-watch all True Detective, then new season

 

Binged 3 seasons of "The Warrior" only to be left with a cliffhanger. I thought the fight scenes and brutality were fantastic.

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, completed S4, on to S5. Peacock

Star Trek: Picard. Completed S3. Paramount+. A little over the top at the end, but enjoyable series. Waiting for Strange New Worlds to return.

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, S5 Ep1-5. Peacock

The Daily Show. Paramount+. Caught up with the episodes featuring the return of Jon Stewart.

 

Still watching The Gentleman.
When it got to the testicle episode my wife said "I'm out, this is getting too weird".
So now I'll finish it this week after she goes to bed..

 

My IG is @az_pikies because of that film.

Just watched The Guv'nor on NF. Story of Lenny McLean who you'll recognize from a few Guy Ritchie's movies.

 

Catching this flick later tonight:

 

Poor things

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, S5 Ep 6-10. Peacock

Logan. Disney. Laura character was pretty good; sad ending.

 

Currently watching Tokyo Vice on Max.

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, S5 Ep 11-13. Peacock

12 Angry Men (1957). Freevee. A classic, sitting long on my watchlist.

 

I've had that one on my PVR for a while. Not sure when I'll get time to watch it.

 

About to see Dune 2.....

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, S5 Ep 14-19. Peacock

Magellan (2017). Tubi. B-rate directorship, appealing story line.

 

Netflix, Physical 100 season 2. It's absolutely brutal and going to get even harder.

 

The Gentlemen and Stanicky. Both inappropriately funny. What was funny in junior high, still is.

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, completed S5, on to S6. Peacock

George Carlin: Back In Town (1996). Tubi. A rewatch; I find him insightful and funny.

 

One of my favorite comedians. I went down memory lane a few months ago and watched some of his standups from the 80s that I hadn't seen in years. My wife got to see his early stuff for the first time, too. I'd been quoting a lot of his lines over the years, and now she understands why. Still funny and relevant today.

 

A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part 2. Paramount+. Interesting take on evil-aliens. The films have nagging logic low points but I couldn't stop watching to see what would happen next. Krasinski’s directorial debut and he did an overall good job.

 

Equilibrium. Paramount+. Lots of death defying action.

Radioactive. Amazon Prime. Some historical facts were tweaked but no more than other true-story films.

 

Above the Shadows. Peacock. A love story, and technically a sci fi movie that does not focus on the science - like Time Traveler’s Wife. A near hidden gem in my book; it grossed less than 2K worldwide - ouch, considering it has Megan Fox and Jim Gaffigan, though they are not the stars.

Yesterday (2019). Netflix. Rewatched. Similar sci fi story as above but did much better at box office, almost $155 million. On my personal list of favorite movies.

 

Leave the World Behind. Netflix. That was entertaining - an attempt to forecast a plausible apocalyptic event.

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Peacock. Completed S6, on to S7. There is no letdown in comedy. Each season has been funny with just a handful of episodes that were ‘eh’.

It’s a Wonderful Life (1946). Plex. Acting was great but was not impressed with the story line. I found it full of holes.

 

Shogun

 

North by Northwest (1959). Tubi. A Hitchcock thriller; good acting but with several illogical making decisions by the characters.

 

The tourist, Netflix

 

This Sporting Life (1963). Tubi. This movie was on a challenge list. Good acting but it was kind of a yawner due to it’s length. Sad ending.
