Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted September 22, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2019 Between Two Ferns the Movie. 1hr 20 minutes so a short watch. Runs out of steam towards the end but has some pretty funny lines. The credits blooper reelĀ is very fun as well. 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 Just finished Top Boy... Fuck me, that was good. Really, really good. That final episode has set up the next series wonderfully, and it could fill the gap left behind by The Wire. A real open-mouth moment when they showed the junkies in the police station- a basic yet brilliant little twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reoccurring shots of Asher D sipping out of his tumbler whilst surveying his kingdom was so bloody heavy handed and cringey and all the sub plots were either shit or pointless. Is it more of that or a return to form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 Definitely more along the lines of the first one- on the streets, everyone has fuck all and trying to make something out of nothing and as several years have passed you have a new generation of slangers. Asher D is ok but waaaay down the pecking order in terms of characters you'll become invested in here. Some brilliant performances in this.

Grecian Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I'd add the character development is spot-on too - by the end of Series 3, you end up really caring about guys who are nasty as hell, but you kind of want them to be okay. I found myself massively rooting for Atz and his mum in particular, and Sully, of all people. Ā if I had any idea how to post hidden contents on here, I'd go into more detail about the ending too.

Grecian Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) So, the ending of Top Boy (with thanks to @Hannibal Scorch and @PunkStep for tolerating my computing ineptitude): Ā Ā The change in Sully when he meets his daughter is awesome. DuShane is TopBoy 4 Life, but Sully, i got the feeling he wants more from life and I'm hoping he goes straight and doesn't go to prison again. I'm hoping he didn't kill Driss and just told him to disappear for a while, the shot of Driss' daughter at the end without either of her parents got me. Loved the twist of DuShane getting Jamie out of prison and the junkies in the police station just floored me. I can't wait for Series 4!

Paid Members JNLister Posted September 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 I watched the wonderfully bad "He Who Dares: Downing Street Siege".

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) This sounds deliciously schlocky.Ā Edit: The trailer dropped for the sixth, and final, series of BoJack Horseman. Series four of The Good Place started yesterday as well. I'm interested to see how they both end.Ā Edited September 28, 2019 by jazzygeofferz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGIT Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 On 2/26/2019 at 7:31 PM, Devon Malcolm said: These are worth seeing though: * Gerald's Game - One of the best Stephen King adaptations of all time. Mike Flanagan is probably the best specialist horror director around right now. * Calibre - Stunning British thriller with clever echoes of The Wicker Man. This deserved to be huge. I watched these two today. Calibre I liked, the setting and acting were very good. Thought it got off to a good start, I was waiting for a few more twists in the story though which didn't come. I enjoyed it enough.Ā Gerald's Game was very good. Carla Gugino is a joy to watch. I found it very enthralling and suspenseful. Stephen King books are very capable of being good films with the right people on board.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I watched Criminal: UK over the weekend and I wouldn't bother if I was you. The third one was OKĀ but nothing really happens in them. There's no real plot to speak of. Just a basic police interview that goes by the book. I was constantly waiting for a twist or big reveal but it just goes to plan and ends. The only kind of thing that resembles a plot is done so heavy handed and with glaring plot hole, they the writer was told at the end that the episode needsĀ somethingĀ so that was just chucked in with being thought about properly. It's a shame as it had so much promise. I really liked the actors and the characters that were built in the show, just a shame none of them did anything.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted September 29, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 29, 2019 I quite enjoyed Criminal UK for the acting (featuring The Actor Kevin Eldon no less). All 3 suspects were superb. Yeah plots were OK, but I enjoyed the claustrophobia. The only weirdness was getting Jack Bauer vibes from the cutaways to the neon clock.Ā I then tried approx 17 seconds of Criminal Spain but the dubbing was about as good as Eddie Murphy's Kung Fu routine.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 A bunch of South Park episodes have been added to Netflix over the last couple of days. Hopefully itāll lead to the full series being made available, but there are some great episodes included in this batch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 29, 2019 Honestly baffling why anybody still watches that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
