Netflix recommendations

My niece enjoyed watching the film "Sing" (she's a similar age) even though she had seen it before, which I believe is on Netflix. Singing animals, what's not to like?

my 3 year old daughter loves that film.

she randomly started singing very loudly 'Oh My God, Look At Her Butt' on holiday last week which is a line from one of the auditions iirc.

They can usually be removed via enhanced audio or audo description or something - they don't appear on all subs, you usually have to opt into getting them. Some downloads you can't get rid of them whilst they are optional in streaming the same thing - dark s2 for example.

Also watched The Guilty last night. Even my friend who can't usually do subtitles was gripped.

I watched this last night having seen posts on here. I loved it, couldn't stop thinking about it afterwards.

It's very good.

Mostly.

"Space phrasing"

Travelers - an oldish series that I've just begun watching. It seems good so far, certainly different.

It's very good.

Mostly.

Much better than the previous season. Takes a couple of episodes to get into, but then it’s almost as good as the early seasons.

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Cool. I really enjoyed this.

It’s great. I’m glad they’ve focused on Bill and Wendy more this season rather than Holden as they are by far the stronger characters.

Better than very good...it gets better episode by episode. Almost reaches peak Archer.

Then has the most fucked up ending ever.

 

[sojourner]

Paula - 'The fallout in a chemistry teacher's life after her one-night stand with a good-looking but dangerous ducker and diver'. It's sooo much better than the blurb suggests.

Elisa and Marcela -

Spoiler

I'm putting this in spoilers because I think it gives the whole story away tbh. 'In 1885, Elisa and Marcela meet and form a great friendship, which grows into a forbidden love that they have to keep hidden. In 1901, Elisa adopts a male identity in order to marry the woman she loves'

. This is a beautifully wrought film, sumptuous and sensual.

I Think We're Alone Now - 'After the human race is wiped out, a man builds a life of utopian solitude - until a second survivor arrives, with the threat of companionship'. Loved this!

I take it the great hack has been mentioned in this thread?

If not, do watch.

Saw a bit of an evening with beverly luff linn. Seemed to have a good cast. . . . after about 15 minutes it just struck me as odd for odds sake, just like a remake of the greasy strangler. Then looked it up on imdb and discovered it was the same writer / director.
Greasy strangler was fun, but I don't need to see it again with a bigger budget and higher paid actors.

I've just picked this one up too as I loved the first series. It seems just as good so far. I especially loved use of Roxy Music's In Every Dream Home a Heartache. That was just perfect.

Bad Day for The Cut. Excellent revenge thriller set in Belfast.

If I have any criticism it would be that the usually excellent Susan Lynch is a bit of a pantomime villain, but not so much that it stopped me really enjoying this film.

It's violent, and funny at times (not tarantino violent funny!), understated and the pacing is nice and slow, it boils rathers than explodes.

That's the one with the frying pan incident isn't it?

A grand use of a pot of Irish Stew.

Mindhunter is back. Just watched the first episode and it's looking as quality as S1

It is. I just watched 5 episodes in a row because the children are away!

 

[magneze]

That's next on my list after Stranger Things.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Calibre - excellent thriller following a couple of Edinburgh townies who head to the Scottish Highlands for a hunting trip and get themselves in a proper mess. It's an intense watch that manages to avoid a lot of the usual genre conventions.

The film won the Michael Powell Award for best British Feature at the at the Edinburgh film festival last year.

I've tried with archer but like the venture brothers it's just not funny. Is it supposed to be? I am assuming loads of people like it if it's made it to ten seasons.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Await further instructions is a fun little film, even if it beats you over the head with its social commentary intentionally winding you up, I still went along with it.

 

[blairsh]

I find it funny, also has me googling quite a lot of stuff where there are gaping holes in my knowledge to some references.

If you don't like it you don't like it, I wouldn't force myself to watch something I didn't like after a few attempts anyway.

Just wondered if it was a slow burn. I guess not.

If you like OTT extremely un-pc humour a la South Park or Family Guy you should like it. If not you’ll hate it.

But the story is very good and much deeper than SP or FM, so it’s much more than just OTT humour. and the animation/ overall look is rather satisfying too. You do need to give it at least 3 episodes to get into it though. But they’re only 20 min long so not that much of an ask.

Humm. I don't mind ott un pc humour, I am a fan of animation and I've watched way more than three episodes in a row and from various seasons. . . But nothing. It just flatlines for me. Just a series of 'things' happen that are not funny or interesting. I get roughly the same feeling from the venture Bros.
