SooKee Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Watched "The Favourite" last night and wasn't overly impressed with it, and Queen Anne's supposed lesbian tendencies were given too much free rein by the producer, as without this, the movie wouldn't have worked.Main reason I've put this and Mary Queen of Scots (2018) on the Movies Binned list.

JHolmesJr Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Check out The Drug King Korean version of Scarface I guess. Looks like a true story...the guy who plays the lead in Old Boy is in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better it might have been. Accurate it ain't LOL. Actually there were some elements of truth in it SooKee, esp as regards the internal conflicts in the court and family of Mary. A bit like the Elizabeth movies, elements of truth, but not in the correct timelines, but the director/producer tries to cobble something together that is "interesting" and of course makes money!!

faraday Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Got so many movies to watch at the moment; easier to just post my d/l list. The first four on there are Japanese, after having watched Shoplifters, which was extremely good, I looked for more that have good ratings.

I just checked - JHolmesJr said it takes place in Bodrum, and the blurb on TPB says the same. IMDB lists it as 2018 and Bodrum. Probably still being sold to additional territories in 2019 so they upped the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really informative for me. Just watched episode 1 and even though I may have seen excerpts from it before, I found it fascinating. Also wondered how the French have managed to <deleted> up so many countries and lose so many wars/battles.....well they would have lost two "world wars" if it wasn't for the help they received!!!

Thanks for the recommendation. Its one of them things. You know bits and pieces from excerpts from history, news and peoples accounts but to get the chronological story and build up and details of everyone involved was great.

SooKee Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Really no idea how this one slipped under the radar seeing as I tend to hunt this type of stuff out. Halfway through season one of the Starz (currently two season) series 'Counterpart' starring J K Simmons: "A hapless UN employee discovers the agency he works for is hiding a gateway to a parallel dimension that's in Cold War with our own, and where his other self is a top spy. The war slowly heats up thanks to spies from both sides." Great story / script, very good acting, unfolds in a very clever way. Great stuff.

JimmyJ Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Just saw "Shoplifters" ("Manbiki Kazoku" original title) (2018), written and directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, which several posters here have mentioned. Terrific film, original and unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
