The 21 Jump Street movie was surprisingly not terrible and I'll re-watch it anytime it comes on TV.
I agree 100% LoD is a damn good show, but I don’t that has the right ingredients for this thread.Best cop show EVER, on Netflix (Canada) and itunes etc. Season 6 out now, have to wait - sigh!
Crazy twists and turns, tension, uncomfortable storylines, great acting. Watched a few times.
Bent coppers!
BBC One - Line of Duty
Yup, as the BBC's flagship drama it is supposed to be quality.I agree 100% LoD is a damn good show, but I don’t that has the right ingredients for this thread.
The one reason this show works is that there is no status quo. The pacing is... frankly, intoxicating is the word I'd use. And they always, ALWAYS escalate.Riverdale: This is one of those very polarizing shows. Some people completely deplore this show, but for those who like it, it should not work, its crazy....bonkers really, with a plot that looks like three writers got black out drunk in a room one night and then picked up the pieces of the stuff they thought was too out there. And yet....its just works somehow, and its insanely engaging. Its very hard to explain.
Robin Williams was an incredible talent and the world is a significantly worse place without him in it. Insomnia is an underrated little title that shows off his darker chops. That said, WDMC is quite possibly the worst film I've ever scene, and thinking about anything in it makes me beyond angry. And the acting, directing, and especially design and cinematography at all top notch too. It's just... they make so many wrong choices along the way. Ugh.I also like his work in What Dreams May Come, which is a polarizing movie that a lot of people seem to have very strong opinions about.
I tend to judge movies based on what they're trying to accomplish. Demolition Man tried to be a good action movie with some comedic elements (the three shells) and they absolutely nailed it. Cobra (1986) also starring Sylvester Stallone is an action movie and it's just plain terrible. It's not even good by action movie standards.Is Demolition Man good though? It's certainly enjoyable . . . can a film be not-good yet enjoyable? If so, that's Demolition Man!
The term for a movie that's 'not-good yet enjoyable' would be nanar .Is Demolition Man good though? It's certainly enjoyable . . . can a film be not-good yet enjoyable? If so, that's Demolition Man!
So Star is just what you guys get on Hulu??Be careful not to confuse the folks in the US who do not have access to that. lol
Star is the Disney+ section for normal, adult-aimed movies that is only available outside the US.
Speaking of, it's surprising how many of the Scooby Doo movies are genuine good fun! It's kind of a gamble but the characters are just so archetypical at this point that the movies never have to waste time introduce the Scooby Gang and can just give us a solid cast of secondary character and a fun adventure. Scooby Doo & KISS : Rock & Roll Mystery and Scooby Doo & Batman, The Brave and the Bold are favorites of mine. I hear Moon Monster Madness is excellent too.Dear CW: Where's my gritty reboot of the Hex Girls?
