jamny 6,594 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I made it about 15 minutes into The Crew before stopping. I like Kevin James well enough but didn't get a single laugh through half an episode. Need at least a good chuckle in that time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The back and forth between David Tennant and Michael Sheen is quite funny. "In and of Itself", hard to describe. A 90 minute show filmed in a small NYC theater, a one-man monologue with elements of magic. I can't say enough how unexpectedly moving this was. My wife suggested it, and the rest of us (me and my 10th-grade daughter and sixth-grade son) were like "uh sure I guess," but it was really, really well done. One of the best things we've watched in months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
simsarge 605 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Crazy good movie. Emphasis on the crazy word. Sam Rockwell is really great in this. George Cooney however, cannot act Definitely a story that I'd love to able to see proven as true. Even partially. Given Hollywood's tendency to maybe not a good story get in the way of the truth, Harris' rather unique personality and that he never really confirmed or denied before he died, I guess we'll never know. ETA: Wrong thread, sorry. Meant to put this in the movie thread not here. Really good movie, although if you don't remember any of the shows (especially the Gong Show and it's quirky host) it may not resonate Edited February 26 by simsarge 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zow 8,755 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Just binged "Behind her Eyes" on Netflix over the weekend. It's interesting but I wouldn't recommend rushing to watch it. I'm glad they limited it to six episodes. 3.5/5. This isn't really a spoiler and is a mere description of what to expect, but even that is a bit spoilerish so... [spoiler] The show has a sort of Gone Girl, You, The OA vibe to it. There's a pretty big twist at the end, although I'll say 1) I saw it coming; and 2) I think it actually hurt the storyline rather than helped. In other words, I don't think the story "earned" the payoff/twist. Lastly, the show will hit on a touch of fantasy/supernatural which, again, isn't really something that the show earns as it isn't really explained. So, yeah, good/interesting thriller with a twist that may or may not leave you feeling unsatisfied or cheated at the end. [/spoiler] Edited March 1 by Zow Uh how do the spoiler tags work now? Did I screw that up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, it is the number one show on Netflix now (and my wife liked it), so what do I know? Yeah, but the fact that it's the real horror hotel from AHS and other movies made it interesting to learn it's history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
