bust Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Just finished the HBO series The Outsider based on the Stephen King novel. Different twist on a crime thriller. Friend of my ex plays the lead role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Monster [2023] A mother demands answers from her son's teacher when her son begins acting strangely. Discovering that a teacher is responsible, she storms into the school demanding to know what's going on. But as the story unfolds through the eyes of mother, teacher and child, the truth gradually emerges. A strong Japanese drama that is somewhat lacking in the editing work but has several mesmerizing performances in a whodunit worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 The Deceived [2020 TV Series] A student falls for her married lecturer at Cambridge. When he mysteriously disappears, she tracks him down and discovers that his wife has died in a fire in Ireland. A four part UK Channel 5 series, hopefully no more series are planned as one can feel somewhat deceived with the top line actors appearing in a mediocre and twisted plot.

Palatkik Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Masters Of The Air [2024 TV Limited Series] During World War II, five miles above the ground and behind enemy lines, ten men inside an aluminum bomber known as a "Flying Fortress" battle antiaircraft flak and unrelenting flocks of German fighters. Nine part series has the signature Spielberg style stamped all over it which can seem both impressive and tiresome. Excessive CGI adds to the tedium and the characters are two dimensional. Occasionally engaging, but mostly dull corporate TV for the masses. A yawn fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 The Burial [2023] Inspired by true events, a lawyer helps a funeral home owner save his family business from a corporate behemoth, exposing a complex web of race, power, and injustice. Two excellent leads command an enjoyable courtroom drama that is full of emotions, humor and never dulls despite the usual cliched feel good gotchas. Worth a look.

Palatkik Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Scoop [2024] How the BBC obtained the interview with Prince Andrew about his friendship with convicted sex offender Epstein. The story is already well known and re-dramatizing it might seem superfluous, but somehow it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Finestkind [2023] A crew of fishermen tread dangerous waters when their debts start piling up. A real mixed bag this one, kudos for some great scenes and camera work offshore but the characters onshore and plot are hard to fathom with some top talent playing a b-rate script. Enjoyable feel good crime drama nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Damaged [2024] A Chicago detective, travels to Scotland to link up with a Scottish detective, following the resurgence of a serial killer who's crimes match an unsolved case that he looked into 5 years previous in Chicago. Don't let the Scottish scenery or established actors deceive you. This is schoolboy error lower grade movie making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Wicked Little Letters [2023] When people in 1920's Littlehampton begin to receive letters full of hilarious profanities, a rowdy Irish migrant is charged with the crime. Suspecting that something is amiss, the town's women investigate. A profanity laden ball of fun well worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
