[Pragmatic]

It is almost the perfect movie.

That award must easily go to 'ZULU'

Watched an old-ish movie last night (from around 2001). "The Spy Game" with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. Solid, reasonably intelligent spy caper about a veteran spy (Redford) battling against CIA politics to save protege Pitt, after falling into the hands of the Chinese.
Enjoyable film, not rated highly on it's release, but seems a quality movie compared to a lot of shite that I have watched recently. Perhaps that's just me though.

You're right, that was a quality movie.

"Dinner Out is a Go".

Another quality oldie (since it popped up on RARBG today):

Capricorn One (1977)

Three astronauts about to take off for Mars are secretly pulled from the spacecraft at the last minute, and flown to a secret location in the desert.... much mayhem ensues.

Not really a Scifi, in fact a good action/conspiracy romp with some stellar performances from Elliott Gould, Telly Savalas, James Brolin, Sam Waterston and Karen Black (plus OJ Simpson when everyone liked him).

Great action scenes, snappy dialogue and some memorable moments (especially from Brolin who got right into the part).

A solid 7.5/10 and not really dated.

"House Of Cards" just isn't the same without the evil of Kevin Spacey. Robin Wright tries, but just can't capture it. Probably a good thing it's the last season; might have been even better not to try to squeeze out a last season.

[AntRobertson]

I'm a good way into second season of 'Making A Murderer' now and can recommend it, somehow they managed to break new ground and not rehash too much of the first season (although some is but that was unavoidable considering the subject matter).

It's a hard watch though from the point of view that it makes you kinda frustrated seeing how the weight of the criminal justice system is so stacked against people.

It is a hard watch. I got so pissed off I was yelling at the TV.

Yes mate, that's it exactly!

So aggravating at times.

it was never going to be the same anyway, after all the publicity

not going to bother then, too bad

[Maanaam]

I watched S1, E's 1-4 of Bodyguard. E1 started out with a bang and was good....excitement trailed off, though, with progressive episodes and became less a guy fighting terrorists in London and more PTSD and rooting a MILF. I'll give E5 a go and see if it gets better.

My ex grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm not far from there; she could never admit she was wrong either - despite overwhelming evidence.

Must be a cheesehead thing

Wright doesn't hack it. If they wanted pure evil, they should have replaced her with Pelosi, Waters or Feinstein.

[Humbert]

I beg your pardon.

[AntRobertson]

Oops!

I might be wrong about that... Not going to admit it though!

she was evil but as a sidekick, like an apprentice

alone, not a master sith it seems

Well put.

After a decade, the fog is lifting. A cheesehead among us! If also a Polack, like my ex, it's the genetic perfect storm.

[cyrille]

Hardly surprising that you don't like the same movies, then.

[Davis Knowlton]

^Quite.

With Ginsburg they could have squeezed an extra season or two.

[jabir]

Binge watched The Brink again, Jack Black/Tim Robins, guaranteed to have the perpetual protesters cringe, though to be fair it casts a rather uncomplimentary shadow upon the political establishment which helps to even things out.

Easy to watch comedy with no kids around, 8/10.

One for you Davis:

Alone We Fight (2018)

"Facing mounting odds, a small but determined band of American soldiers venture into dangerous enemy territory on a mission to stop an advancing German unit from breaking through the Allied line."

No rating so I can't tell you if it's crap or not.
