What Are You Watching On The Box?

I have seen at least a half dozen pipe smokers in it so far...

The US version isn't much better. Most of the horror movies are B-Horror and/or a lot of rubbish that I've never heard of. Most of the time after watching one of them I feel like I just wasted the 1 1/2 - 2 hours of my life and can't get it back.

There are some good horror movies on there, just not the majority of them.

I watched one called The Ritual which wasn't bad, worth a look if it's on US Netflix.
Talking of wasting a couple of hours of your life
I watched another called The Basement, what an absolute load of crap. After half an hour I was gonna give up but thought if I do I've wasted that time so persevered, wish I hadn't.
Hopefully their selection will improve at some point.

I do this all of the time. I always want to cut off crappy horror movies, but always push through to the end. And then I end up hating myself for it.

2009 Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. Not traditional, but good in its own right IMO.

I actually watched almost no TV yesterday and it’s incredible how productive I was. Started off sleeping late. Ate a homemade breakfast with the fam first. I was out running errands for several hours, gave the car a once over before it embarks on a long trip today - fixed a few things, took down some Christmas, helped with laundry, cleaned some stuff... That is opposed to some Saturdays where I binge watch Marvel all day. Oh, and I couldn’t find anything to watch. ?

Sounds like your wife changed the Netflix password just to get you up and doing things Dan!

Started the first season of "Cardinal" last night on Hulu.

If you like murder and snow, it ain't too bad...so far.

Disc 6 (of 7) from the excellent Ken Burns 'Roosevelt' boxed set. Sadly the last of his many boxed sets that I have.

The US are about to join us in WWII so this should be interesting. I do know FDR got on very well with Churchill and just read a fascinating book on their relationship so will be interesting to see if this tallies with what I read.

Regards,

Jay.

The Aeronauts, an Amazon Prime original movie. It's good. Based on a true story and set in 1862, it's about two hot air balloonists trying to set an altitude record.

About to start watching The Last Kingdom on Netflix.

Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of Four starting Ian Richardson. Never seen it.

I have only seen Jeremy Brett as Sherlock and really like him. So we'll see how this one is.

It was decent, but so far I prefer Jeremy Brett.

Started the 2nd season of "Cardinal" last night.

There doesn't seem to be near as much snow this season.

We plan on watching The Aeronauts, soon.
At Christmas, my daughters told me to watch The Witcher. They sold it to us as being like Game of Thrones, but it was like GOT on a low budget, bad acting, weird confusing timeline, and without all of the excellent depictions of violence and sex... sure there is some, but not nearly as cool. Other than that, it is interesting. I may watch season 2, but if I miss it, I won't lose sleep.

Finished the Mssaih on Netflix, Jesus looking young man shows up in the Middle East, is he or isn’t he, shows up in America, is he or isn’t he, keeps you wondering. Now I got to wait a year before I find out, DAMN!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Finished the Mssaih on Netflix,

That is on our list as well.

Just watched on YouTube an episode of Hammer House of Horror titled The Silent Scream from 1980.
I saw a few of these when I was a kid in the early 1980's but don't remember this particular one.
It was very good and starred the late great Peter Cushing and the original Dr Hannibal Lecter Brian Cox.

Just re-watched Ricky Gervais doing his opening monologue at The Golden Globes, I've gotta say it was glorious.

I plan on watching the Jeopardy ‘Greatest of All Time’ this evening

Yesterday, a comedy-drama about a musician who wakes up after an injury to discover that The Beatles never existed. It's good, although the premise of a world without The Beatles doesn't sound particularly disturbing to me.
