mrflynn03 Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Started watching Reacher on Amazon Prime. I like that the actor is true to the character in the book and not the mini me version tom cruise was. Dialog is also accurate. I like it and give it my endorsement. Which is worth about as much as Reacher carries in his pocket. Edited November 2, 2022 by mrflynn03 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) SIAP but Amazon Prime also has "Terminal List". It's excellent ! And Memory isn't bad either.

tdhoosier Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Binging options while the weather keeps us inside: - Look forward to starting season 3 of Jack Ryan - We binged The Recruit on Netflix in 3 sittings. Great show that leaves you on a cliffhanger. Seasons 2 and 3 already picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoyeCowbell Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I've been trying to catch up on a lot of series and movies recently. Since Thanksgiving: Yellowstone (sn 1-4; gonna do 5 soon) -- (A) great world-building; beautiful setting 1883 -- (A+) excellent across the board Tulsa King -- (B-) great concept, but execution is a bit weak; could be grittier and have a real edge The White Lotus -- (B+) I stayed at the hotel from season 1 which was cool; fun ensemble in both seasons Glass Onion -- (B-) fun and flashy; better performances than story itself Banshees of Inisherin -- (A) a simple story well told; great performances from Ferrell & Gleeson -- sticks with you The Bear -- (incomplete) really enjoying this so far. frenetic but in an authentic way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naturalhoosier Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Does anyone else watch Resident Alien? It’s one of the best cast and best written shows I’ve seen in a long time. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your break down. Agree on all that I have also watched but don't agree with Tulsa King. I'm at an A-. I feel that since it's Tulsa, and new territory it kind of has to be a little weak on the execution. I think that brings the reality to it. This is only a minor grading difference, not an argument. I hope I said all of this in a way that you understand that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love chatting and dissecting shows/movies with anyone who wants to, even if we don't agree. My gripe with Tulsa King (so far -- I know the season isn't finished yet) is that Stallone's character doesn't have a truly well-defined set of goals. No one really does. Not really a spoiler alert, but he's banished to Tulsa where he's "forced?" to do what exactly? Set up a totally new operation? Ok... that's the premise. Now what are the obstacles standing in his way? To me, that hasn't been elevated enough to feel like actual drama (in the technical sense); things feel a bit too easy and deus ex machina. Again, I like the general concept and enjoy the setting. Shows that utilize 'other' cities not named LA, Chicago, NYC are very interesting to me because they are a totally new sandbox that, when used right, add a great element to the story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
