Just saw Cry Macho and… meh. I’m a fan of Clint Eastwood, and enjoy most of his movies, but this one was slow, and boring at times. He is 91, 90 while filming, so slow was expected, but sadly I didn’t love it. 3/5

I love shows about power. This show is watchable. But, as a show about power, I think it under-delivers very much. The characters don't manifest that deep hunger for power in itself, a hunger that radiates off of them and hangs heavily in the atmosphere of the show, that for example Underwood in House of Cards, Pacino in Godfather or Scarface, manifest.
Watched "A Serbian Film"
Some people say it has artistic merit but I couldn't see it. An absolute shit show of a movie.
0/5

Speaking of Eastwood: I Watched Gran Torino for the 3rd(?) time last night. If you haven't seen it, you need to watch it yesterday. Touching story, I would say, about Fatherhood. About the beauty and the deep instinct to positively influence others, to set them on the right path. And of course, Eastwood's always awesome gruffness.
I watched the 4 hour version of Justice League. I am a Marvel guy and have been since I was a kid and I would only buy one DC character comic book, the Green Lantern. I hate Batman normally but in this movie he was real good. Over all I enjoyed this DC offering.
My favorite super hero is Thor, second is the Fantastic 4. Every time they have made a Fantastic 4 movie, they have sucked. The only one that was half decent was the second movie that had the Silver Surfer in it. He is also one of my favorite Marvel characters and I have no idea why they haven't given him his own movie. If done right it would gross over 1.5 billion in world wise sales.

American Rust. 4/5.

Watched the new documentary from the BBC When Nirvana Came To Britain.
It centers around the band's various tours of the UK and what went on. There are extensive interviews with Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic as well as all the people that helped run the tours.
It's interesting to see the difference between their first tour when they were unknown to a couple of years later when they were the biggest band in the world.
It was a really good documentary and definitely worth watching if you're a Nirvana fan.
There are a couple of uploads on YouTube and I've provided a link to one but how long it stays up is anyone's guess.

Started this on your recommendation. Just finished ep. 2. Great show. Would love to know of any similar shows, with grisly men in a grisly environment, etc.
Just rewatched Band of Brothers for the millionth time. Seeing old Bull Randleman chew stogies all across Europe got me on a cigar kick. Here's hoping I can break it, my pipes are getting cold.
holy shit yall gotta watch squidgame on Netflix. im in the middle and its great
Watched The Chair on Netflix. It's a comedy about the sordid world of Academia, set in the environs of a second tier Ivy League university. Sharp writing leads to sharply drawn characters.
I've been pretty disappointed with how the Star Wars franchise have developed since the original trilogy, but the recent blossom of series have been pretty decent. Being a Bill Burr fan I binged the first 2 seasons of the Mandalorian (
)
At times, it can fall into cliches; and you can definitely tell the difference between the higher profile episodes and the B-tier ones (which is disappointing in such short seasons - 8 episodes each) it definitely has its moments. If you're a fan of spaghetti westerns and like the Star Wars universe, it's a must.

I kept waiting for him to take the mask off and show us that it was Clint Eastwood the whole time.
I just finished watching The Many Saints of Newark. I’m a fan of the Sopranos and enjoyed the movie. It tied in many the characters from the series and is a worthy prequel, BUT, if you didn’t like Sopranos, or have never seen the series, it probably will not appeal to some as a stand-alone movie. I give it a bias 5/5 ??

I have become increasingly unimpressed with the rest of the movies. My favorite newer movie being Rogue One. I got really excited about Mandalorian only to be left with the feeling that it too, while a decent enough show, didn't live up to the hype.
