Netflix Flicks

Into The White. British and Germans crash in Norway and have to share a cabin in the middle of nowhere just to survive. Good flick.

The Grey Zone.

Whoa. I gave it 5 stars.

 

[Pop23]

Just watched JFK the smoking gun.

I'm not a conspiracy nut, but I would love to see the evidence debated.

4 star documentary.

 

[Gracie]

Is that a documentary or the one with Kevin Costner?

 

[Gracie]

In holocaust movies..they NEVER make stories about jews who fought back while IN the camps. In The Grey Zone...they did. The jews who did all the dirty work, like leading people into the showers, then removing their bodies for burning, pulling gold teeth, going thru jewelry and watches, hauling big bodies and little bodies out of carts then spreading the ash. These guys were vultures. Jewish vultures. But they were not given a choice. Live a little longer by doing these things, or be gassed sooner rather than later.

Shudder. What a conundrum. Good flick, though.

 

[Pop23]

Is that a documentary or the one with Kevin Costner?

No, this would have made a much better movie than costners.

No, this would have made a much better movie than costners.

I will check it out.

All Together. French flick with subtitles. But a few minutes in to it, I saw Hanoi Jane as one of the stars. I turned it off. I ain't watching that bitch.

 

[Neil N. Blowme]

A Simple Plan. Excellent suspense.

 

[Gracie]

I, Frankenstein.
About 20 minutes into it and boy am I recognizing some faces! Good flick so far, for a "good ol' horror" movie.

Davey Jones dude...Bill Nighy, is Prince of demons.
Aaron Echart...Batman dude who got half his face burned...is Frankenstein.
Miranda Otto...chick in Lord of The Rings "I know your face"...is queen of gargoyles.

Check it out!

A TV show, not a movie, but I am obsessed with Bojack Horseman.
I watched the first couple episodes as just something to do when bored, thought it would be Family Guy-ish. It isn't. It's the best show I've ever seen. The problem is so many people abandoned it in the first few episodes- I nearly did. But this article sums up the show well:

True. Sometimes one needs to get through a couple of eps to see where it is going. I found this to be factual with The Killing, a four-season series on Netflix. It just kept getting more absorbing for anyone that likes a quiet, compelling mystery with superb acting and writing. I binged it over a period of a week. This is the way to see this series

Loved the two main detectives and their relationship. This series was taken after a Danish series and used Canadian actors I had never heard of and the setting is supposedly, Seattle, WA but filmed in Vancouver, BC. Gave it 5 stars only because I couldn't give it 10.

There's gonna be a new series on HBO called The Jinx.

THE JINX: THE LIFE AND DEATHS OF ROBERT DURST

One of the most anticipated television events of 2015, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. Directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki and produced and shot by Marc Smerling (the Oscar® nominees behind “Capturing the Friedmans”), the six-part documentary series exposes long-buried information discovered during their seven-year investigation of a series of unsolved crimes, and the man suspected of being at its center – Robert Durst, scion of New York’s billionaire Durst family – and was made with his full cooperation. THE JINX will debut exclusively on HBO in Feb. 2015.

Brilliant, reclusive and the subject of relentless media scrutiny, Durst has never spoken
publicly – until now. During exclusive interviews with Jarecki, he talks with startling candor, revealing secrets of a case that has baffled authorities for 30 years. Long suspected in the 1982 disappearance of his beautiful young wife in New York, the 2000 murder of the key witness in the case in Beverly Hills, and the subsequent murder and dismemberment of a neighbor in Galveston, Tex., Durst has consistently maintained his innocence, and remains a free man today.

This unprecedented documentary event tracks Jarecki as he develops a relationship with Durst, unearthing thousands of pages of hidden documents, police files, key witnesses, never-before-seen footage and private prison recordings.

“Andrew and Marc have done a brilliant job weaving a story that is both a character study and thrilling murder mystery. It literally kept me on the edge of my seat,” said Lombardo. ”I am thrilled that this amazing film has found a home on HBO.”

“What occurs in this series is so unique, there is no home for it other than HBO,” says Jarecki. “Over the seven years in which we pursued the story through all its unexpected revelations, uncovering the truth became an obsession. Now the audience can watch it unfold in front of them as it did for us.”

THE JINX: THE LIFE AND DEATHS OF ROBERT DURST marks Jarecki and Smerling’s second collaboration with HBO, following the landmark documentary “Capturing the Friedmans,” which was presented theatrically and televised by HBO. The series is co-produced and edited by Zac Stuart-Pontier, who previously worked with the filmmakers on “Catfish,” and executive produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse, whose previous HBO credits include “The Normal Heart.”

The Interview is now available on Netflix. The first ten minutes got me some chuckles, but then I had to fast forward through the rest of it due to the idiocy of James Franco's over the top attempts at humor that was just DUMB.

Tuesday is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz...a moment of silence will be observed in my house followed with the raising of the flag of Israel..

I'm sorry I mentioned survivors. The first few episodes were very good, now it's terrible.

Such potential just to become a bunch of foolishness

That's how I felt about Alaskan Bush People. What a crock of crap that turned out to be. And the Brown family are nothing but thieves and liars.

Discovery REALLY needs to dump these fake shows.The only thing we are discovering is bullshit programming on their end.

Not sure if Sons of Liberty has been on History channel but it is a three part series starting tomorrow at 9. I thought it looked pretty good so I'm recording it. Anyone seen this before?
