Furious Seven. This may be the dumbest movie I've ever seen, and I've seen Staying Alive. It's dumber than a sack of hammers.

 

Have you seem Travolta in Perfect?

Amazon just finished filming the first full season of The Man In The High Castle. I will be watching (free preview of first two episodes this weekend: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ref=pe_1767670_153737520_pe_hero_image?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00RSI5EHQ&pldnSite=1&redirect=true )

Just watched the first episode. It is an interesting premise. I do wish the background / music levels didn't overwhelm the dialog so often. 3.5/5

Just went and saw Bridge of Spies. Enjoyable movie, Hanks played a Hanks like character and I left the theater feeling like I got my money's worth. Interesting story, will probably read up on it more.

I have started watching Flip or Flop on HGTV. The wife of the couple who does the renovations has some serious hotness going on.

Yeah, she's smoking hot. Just had a second baby this summer.

The Martian - 4.5 Trouts out of 5.  Loved the book, loved the movie just as much.  Matt Damon was a good choice for the lead role.

 

Legends, season 1 - 3 dead Sean Beans out of 5.  Nothing original or too shocking, and too much of a reliance on hand-of-god technology saving the day.  Entertaining but forgettable.  Sean Bean.  He's the low-rent Liam Neeson.  Edit: note that there are characters in the show named Crystal Quest and Troy Quinn.  That tells you something about the show.

Just started watching season 2 of Fargo....looks like it is going to be a gooder. If you haven't watched season 1, I would suggest you do so.

I'm going to do that soon. Season 1 was great. I really wondered how they were going to pull off a series based on that movie, but they sure did.

The Martian was fantastic, even the wife loved it. The parts they cut from the book, took nothing away from the movie at all, and you are right, Matt Damon was perfect for the part.

Beasts of No Nation

Really good movie. Idris Elba is a freaking fantastic actor.

[Homebrewer]

Got episodes 1-2 of Fargo in this weekend.

Looks good so far.

FX is doing some good stuff. Did anyone else watch "The Bridge"?

I really dug that show...so much so I went and watched to Swedish version too. It was so well done.

Of course it got xled. Still bummed about that.

Same thing for us.  Loved the book, really enjoyed the movie and yes, Damon was a solid choice.

 

Loved that the kept the LOTR references in there.

Narcos. Good show with a lot of info about what was happening with the DEA and Pablo Escobar in the 80s. Plus, lots of hot Mexican broads.

[Brandon]

I'm dragging ass to get through Narcos. It's good, I just doze off and with subtitles I always have to rewatch, I think I'm on episode 6.

I like that they have the viper dude from Game of Thrones. He's solid.

[Homebrewer]

Sitting here right now watching ESPN Deportes 'The Clemente Effect" about the life of Roberto Clemente.(Youtube)

Spanish and English with subtitles, but if you have only heard of Roberto Clemente or "Momen" (his lifelong nickname, short for Momentito)...well worth the hour.

I am reading " Clemente "

The passion and grace of baseballs last hero

 

By David Maraniss

 

There is so much to know about his life. I remember watching him play, and I'm really glad I have taken the time to learn more about him.

"It Follows"

A horror movie which has crazy high ratings, 96% on rotten tomatoes.

It was pretty lame.

But not fun, campy good horror movie kind of lame.

Just... lame.

Aesthetically it was great, so they spent plenty of money on a cinematographer.

But on the whole we were kind of waiting for it to get going, and then it ended.

discovered we have a new channel in our lineup called Audience. they show reruns of NYPD Blue, and i watched three of them yesterday. 

 

for being 20 + years old, that show has held up remarkably well.

 

andy sipowicz is pretty much my favorite tv character. dennis franz played him perfectly.

[Tank]

watched St. Vincent tonight. missed the first 20 minutes but didn't feel like it was a problem. good movie all the way around.

Fargo episode 3: f*cking awesome.

The Cobbler was playing at my gym today while I lifted (gym was originally a movie theater in the 1920s): f*cking awful.

Agree. A few years back one of our channels was running the entire series. I tried to watch as many as I could even though I have seen them before..
