What are You Watching? Year 2022

Another recommendation from my neighbour, 'Hacksaw Ridge' was my DVD entertainment last night.

I'd never heard of it but by all accounts the film was/is extremely popular.

Some great acting, not least by the lead character who plays Virginian lumber worker Desmond Doss, the conscientious objector who (in real life) was awarded the Medal Of Honour' for his incredible efforts in saving his injured comrades.

Some scenes were a little far fetched, stretching the imagination in places but overall a great film.

I'll give it a strong 4/5 which means this is a keeper to watch again.



Regards,

Jay.

Finished up the latest season of Westworld. Pretty good, slower moving than previous seasons. 4/5

Thanks to the folks who have given ratings. More so for those leaving info on where to watch.

You should watch the documentary! I believe it’s available on YouTube.

Rewatching Ted Lasso on Apple+. Easily the best comedy out right now in my opinion. 5/5

Reservation Dogs on Hulu about a group of young friends trying to escape the rez after the death of their friend. Really funny and poignant at times. 5/5

The Bear on Hulu is about a famed chef that returns home to run his family’s sandwich shop after his brother’s death. They did a good job with the cooking scenes and kitchen atmosphere and there’s a little mystery developing throughout the season. Again I give it a 5/5.

Yep, The Bear is very good. Jeremy Allen White (Lip on Shameless) is excellent as Chef Carmen (Carmy). I also enjoyed Oliver Platt's character, Jimmy Cicero.

The Pawnbroker

Somebody has uploaded it to YouTube and I'll leave the link underneath. It has Spanish subtitles but I personally didn't find it distracting and seeing as it's free you can't really complain.
I've seen it a few times before but it's one of those movies I can watch more than once. Directed by the great Sidney Lumet with a brilliant performance from Rod Steiger.

5/5

Trying to watch the Patient with Steve Carrell on Hulu, but 30 minutes a week, just to show us 5 minutes of new material is exhausting. I think that Steve is doing some great acting, and the writing is really good, but it's just that the editing gives you nothing each week, but baby steps into the story. 2/5, not really worth the wait each week.

You took the words outta my mouth. Each episode is a big nothing burger. Concurring with 2/5.

Kids In The Hall, Season 1. Going to watch all five in sequence. Hilarious and demented...just the way I like my comedy! 5/5

Hopefully “Brain Candy” is added to the end as a bonus to your sequence! I have lived through the big table scene a few times in my career.

Season 1 of Taskmaster. Brilliant show. Greg Davies is hilarious. 5/5.

Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr.
It was filmed just after the 1984 election and the guests are R. Emmett Tyrrell and the incredible Christopher Hitchens.
5/5

Rewatched “21” last night. Great Vegas movie.

Rewatching Ken Burn Vietnam series. 5/5. Very informative, in depth, and even handed. Captivating TV

I had saved that on DVR from TCM and just started watching it (they gave it a great introduction). It's pretty depressing, but visually, a great look at NYC/Spanish Harlem from that era. Agree on Lumet and Steigers performance!

Very well done take on Interview with a Vampire - now on AMC. Two episodes in, 5/5

Watched 6 out of 7 episodes of The Watcher in a row with my wife. I can’t remember the last time we were up so late. Starts deliciously creepy but somewhere along the line the story becomes at once convoluted and seemingly simplistic, usually this hints at a crappy ending, let’s see tomorrow.

Literally just finished watching it with my wife.
