Is piratebay still around? I thought they closed down. But I haven’t looked for a while.
Edit: ah, so I see.
Season 2 of Goliath just showed up. I hadn’t seen season 1, so started watching. Liking it so far...
both seasons excellentQuote:

Should have been at least 10, probably 12 episodes, with a more definite ending. Tom's come-uppance was good, but he was a little hard to believe as he swung wildly from poor abused child to brutal psychopath. Interesting the disparity between critics and audience ratings on RT.

Some of the best writing & acting I've seen.
More of this please.
Really enjoyed this, if it had fallen into the hands of someone with deeper pockets it could have easily been as popular as Stranger Things.Quote:

Turbo Kid was rad. Thanks Dookey!
Just finished watching "The Frozen Ground"
I think I saw it back when it came out. True Story, good acting.
John Cusack did really well playing the part of the villain.
Goliath was good, but I could have done without the graphic limb removal scenes.
Just hit play on Swiss Army Man.
The very last line sums it upQuote:

4/5
I would probably consider myself to be a casual Nick Cave fan at best; I own a few of the Bad Seeds albums and at least one Birthday Party album and have seen him live once, but couldn't name one of his songs if you asked me on the spot. Yet I found this film to be insanely mesmerizing. If you really dig the man there's no way you won't like it. And even if you aren't that familiar with Cave or his music it's a facinating examination of the inner workings of a musician's mind.
It's rendered in a really cool, very surreal manner and provides a rather provocative look at the musician and his thought process, primarily focusing on Cave grappling with his own mortality and delving into the whole rockstar aura/persona/mystique.
Highly recommended.
Watched Brawl in Cellblock 99 last night, starting a very fucked up Vince Vaughn. Grindhouse slow burner, but the violence was in the "holy shit' vein. Great weekend movie, highly recommended.

Digging Bosch. I like the film noir vibe it's got going. Some great actors in it too - some refugees from the wire
Really enjoyed 20,000 days on earth. Was already a big Nick Cave fan.
Dookey has not steered me wrong yet. Thanks again.
Just starting Everybody Wants Some!! now.
Yeah, Bosch is great.Quote:

I'm only a few episodes in, but The Man in the High Castle is pretty interesting so far.
xXx: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE
4/5
This film is so ridiculously over-the-top that it's amazing.
I barely remember the previous two xXx movies, but I recall that they took themselves a bit too seriously. To that end, this one is quite easily the best of the lot, mostly because it’s pretty damn obvious that all of he participants aren’t taking the proceedings too seriously (I swear Vin Diesel looks like he’s laughing throughout the entire picture, like it's obvious that he knows the whole thing is idiotic, but he's having a good time regardless. In many ways it brings to mind the latter period Burt Reynolds/Dom Deluise efforts).
The rest of the supporting cast is great, plus it's one of the coolest assemblages of international actors, that I can think of, to grace the Silver Screen in a long time. Donnie Yen and Deepika Padukone stand out, but everyone is great and adds a lot of flavor to the film.
Additionally, there are some super cool stunts wherein it’s hard to tell what’s real and what was CG’d (even a ridiculous motorbikes-in-the-waves bit looks real).
In short, this is the antithesis to the most recent James Bond films and the Mission: Impossible franchise.
Again, I cannot stress just how f@#king ridiculous, but in a great way, this film is. I personally feel that it achieved camp levels of awesomeness.
Oh yeah, it has a crazy-ass skiing sequence that was performed by Cody Townsend, LJ Strenio, Sandy Boville, Karl Fostvedt, and Thayne Rich.
Watch it with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek.
:)
^good flick. Gotta kick outta the safe word.
Binging on Boardwalk Empire tonight...
That's a great series...Quote:

The original, starring Franco Nero, is one of the seminal post-Dollars Trilogy spaghetti westerns.
The film was so popular that in its wake producers and studios began putting "Django" in the titles of their films to trick moviegoers and boost ticket sales of quickie, unrelated films.. To date the film has had only 1 official sequel!
This is one of the key films that inspired Tarantino's Django Unchained (QT even had Franco Nero make a cameo in his film).
Hyper-violent and containing some great imagery and creative flourishes.
^good shit!
SHAW BROTHERS CLASSICS
Prime is loaded with Kung fu films, particularly those from the Golden Age.
Here are 3 must-sees:
THE 36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN
This film was a huge influence on The Wu-Tang Clan and their music. Features the legendary Gordon Liu, who was further paid homage to by Tarantino in Kill Bill 1 and 2.
FIVE VENOMS
What really needs to be said about this joint? Five deadly styles coming together to kick ass. Boo. Yaa.
FIVE ELEMENTS NINJAS
Probably a little lesser known, but no less seminal. The sets are surreal in that they are fully staged and look fake, but that is part of the charm. The colors and costumes are insane. And, NINJAS!!!!
Thanks Dookey. I’ve been impatiently waiting for a update!
Good stuff. Reminds me of Saturday afternoons watching the Shaolin King Fu Mystagogue
Keeping up with the kung-fu cinematic recommendations, here's something amazing from the New New School...
TAI CHI ZERO
This joyously over-the-top film is teeming with kung fu mayhem that owes a small visual debt to the likes of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the classic '90s fare of Tsui Hark and Jet Li (the Once Upon A Time In China series, for example), and steam punk aesthetics. It is also somewhat in the vein of Kung Fu Hustle and The Good, The Bad, and The Weird (amongst others) in regards to its off-kilter vibe and nerd humor slant.
This is one of the funnest and most creative kung fu films in years, imho.
If you dig your martial arts films to be filled with well-choreographed fight sequences, goofy humor, and whiplash fast pacing, then this one is gonna be right up your proverbial alley.
FWIW:
This film is directed by Stephen Fung, who is one of the directors/producters/action directors on Into The Badlands...
The new Jack Ryan series was pretty good.
