Titanic Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 On 6/7/2025 at 10:16 PM, Palatkik said: The Old Oak [2023 Movie] The future for the last remaining pub, The Old Oak, in a village of Northeast England, where people are leaving the land as the mines are closed. Houses are cheap and available, thus making it an ideal location for Syrian refugees. Another excellent Ken Loach social commentary drama made in the twilight of his career with two solid leads and a subtle screenplay. Worth seeing. Horrible, Loach could have picked a real social issue in modern day northern working class towns- muslim rape gangs for example. But chose one about a broken camera and those naughty working class types being xenophobic and anti mass immigration. Typical look at life through the 'refugees are welcome' lens, when we all know 95% of them are not real refugees at all. Socialist sentimentality from an old socialist.

Palatkik Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Hurry Up Tomorrow [2025 Movie] An insomniac musician encounters a mysterious stranger, leading to a journey that challenges everything he knows about himself. A modern vibe art house visual cannot save a movie of absolutely no substance, despite some established cast members leading as bait. Cheesy music adds to the slog.

Palatkik Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 The Amateur [2025 Movie] When his supervisors at the CIA refuse to take action after his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a decoder takes matters into his own hands. Old school thriller format works well with a strong cast and unusaul nerd spy element. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q [2025 TV] A former top-rated detective, is wracked with guilt following an attack that left his partner paralyzed and another policeman dead. On his return to work, he is assigned to a cold case that will consume his life. Great biting dialogue and performances in a hideous plot-line. Another new and excellent crime series, likely more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palatkik Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 The Friend [2024 Movie] When a solitary writer adopts and bonds with a Great Dane that belonged to a late friend, she begins to come to terms with her past and her own creative inner life.

He's an absolute treasure. If anyone deserved an international prize. Haven't seen this one but have enjoyed many of his other Documentaries. Shame more in positions of power don't listen to him.

Palatkik Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 MobLand [2025 TV] Power is up for grabs as two warring crime families clash in a battle that threatens to topple empires. In the crossfire stands a street-smart 'fixer' who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide. Highly entertaining crime caper, a cartoonish plot is forgiven with its polished production style and scene eating lead actors playing irresistible villains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
