Those who have Amazon Prime and are cinebuffs watch The Rover... Same guy that did Animal Kingdom just be prepared as its maybe the most depressing movie I've ever watched.

Was thinking Gillian Anderson has aged really well.

I didn't realize she was only 46.

For some reason I thought she was a lot older...early 50's maybe.

So she was about 24 when X-files premiered?

Never would have guessed...

I thought she was older too. Still hotter at 46 than she was at 26. Coming from me that's a hell of a compliment.

The Fall season 2:

Didn't roll my eyes much in season 1 but all I did season 2. It was the Keystone cops. Everyone so comfortable sitting next to an uncuffed serial killer. Everyone just so slow to take action.

Gillian Anderson barely did anything of consequence to catch him. She didn't even remember his voice when trying to identify him?

The whole thing with the 16-year-old. Ok, she has fallen in love with him. But also the friend is fine with chilling with a serial killer?

It was a ridiculous season. Something the first season was not.

agree.

we're 4 episodes into the 2nd season... and it's starting to elicit caustic comments from the wife and I. the slow in all aspects of the show- acting, directing, editing... is starting to be gratuitous. or maybe just gratingly gratuitous. and I like the slow, typcially. I feel like the cat and mouse game plot is getting a bit goofy with hackneyed devices used by the writers, director and editors to draw it out.

those are the negatives- but it still hasn't reached the Killing levels yet (I only saw the first chock-full-o'-eyerollers season) and despite the complaints, I still enjoy it. just wish it was better.

Pretty much agree, although I still enjoyed the season. I was really waiting for something amazing to happen in the final 10 minutes, but it didn't really deliver there. I was annoyed by the whole babysitter and Jimmy stuff. Obviously they used the Jimmy angle to finalize things, but it was pretty dumb. At first I thought they were just using it to get him arrested, but they kept going.

They did a lot of camera work where they only show Gillian's face with an "I can't believe what I'm seeing" look and then the camera shows what she's looking at and it's not that amazing. For example, the camera and chair in his hideout and Rose's car at the end.

Disappointing compared to season 1, but, like I said, still enjoyed it. Much better than most of the crap on US network television. And, nice that they just wrap it up and don't force this to go 10 seasons or something stupid. At least, I assume it's over...no season 3, right?
 
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

Why would anyone recommend this? I am *so* the target audience for this movie. I love documentaries and I really like movies that are dark and weird. You know how some movies are so profound they change you as a person? This movie was so gut-wrenchingly awful, I feel like I need a month of therapy just to recover. I regret watching it, and there isn't a soul on the planet I'd ask to view it.

I just watched the trailer and it made me want to go in a corner and cry. I'm guessing I'd be a sobbing wreck the entire time watching this film.

If I'd just sobbed, that might have been bearable. This movie made me feel dead inside.

 
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is a solid 'B', and I would not quibble if somebody graded it B+/A-. (2 seasons x 13 episodes each). ... Australia Broadcasting Corp, I think.

I'm 8 episodes into season 1. While not great in my opinion, it's solid fodder for those between binges. Imagine Hercule Poirot were an attractive, sexually liberated women living in Melbourne, Australia in 1928. The murder mysteries themselves are so-so, but I'm kinda digging the well-developed, evolving side-stories so far. ... the production is top-notch, and kind of expensive looking; the acting is stellar.

Ed Harris, Eva Longoria, Michael Pena.

Not bad. Decent acting for the most part. Worth watching when there is nothing else on. 2/5.

brohan ed harris is one tough looking sob that guy is just cool so hey how can you really go wrong take that to the bank bromigo

 
Dead Silence is a pretty good horror movie. Watched it Friday and the whole family liked it. Early James Wan stuff. The wife is like you know we own this movie....I had no idea....

 
Get Low was good. Robert Duval is a hermit who wants to have a funeral for himself while he is still alive. Some typical Bill Murray moments, playing the funeral home owner.

 
I found 'Dirty Pretty Things' using an app called Upflix (which is a helpful app). The movie was worth the watch... 3.25/5.

Side note: why doesn't Netflix do a better job with their search feature? This thread, Upflix, and instantwatcher.com is what I have been using to find unexpected gems. I still fee llike I am missing good content though.

 
Anybody else watching "Helix"? I am 8 episodes in, it is hit and miss, but a decent story about a CDC team in the Arctic trying to find a cure for a virus outbreak at a research station.

Watched "Burt's Buzz". It's worth watching.

This guy is a peculiar fella.

And he's not nearly as bitter as I would be considering he missed out on a few hundred million dollars along the way.

here is a little trick the next time you are going fishing and it is under freezing you can put chapstick on your eyelets and it will help keep them from freezing up and freezing to the line but even though i like it do not use burtz beez kneez or your fishing rod will smell all spicy and peperminty after that and your jhole friends will probably give you hell about it which is not cool but hey they are dumb enough to hang out with you so what can you really say bam another riddle solved by the old swcer take that to the bank brohans

 
It may have been there for years now, but I noticed that there are 7 seasons of "Coach" available for streaming. I used to love that show, Luther was the best. Was pretty sick this past weekend (cold or flu) and got through the first 3 seasons of it. It's weird now watching a show that had a "live studio audience."

 
with snowmeggedon upon us, you might want to check out Crossing Lines S1 and now S2 just appeared as well... thought Season One was pretty good crime procedural with David Fincher and Donald Sutherland, looks good in HD and some cool Euro settings. A pretty decent show to binge on a snowy day...
