Summary: Dramatisation of the case of serial killers Fred and Rose West, focusing on the way in which they were brought to justice. I watched it over a year ago. It was a good production.

alanrchase Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Why have they filmed it for the small (square) screen? Even mobiles have widescreen now. Looked like it was filmed in 1979.It is filmed in wide screen. Your download may have it encoded to show a square screen but everyone will look thinner than they are. Just adjust your video player settings to change it to wide screen.Sent from my SM-A500F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Muton Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Another new series starting last week, Prodigal Son, looks decent. "Malcolm Bright is a gifted criminal psychologist, using his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother, a serial killer father still looking to bond with his prodigal son and his own constantly evolving neuroses. Bright's only ally is his sister, Ainsley, a TV journalist who wishes her brother would take a break from murder and have a normal life. Unfortunately for his sister, the only way Bright feels normal is by solving cases with the help of his longtime mentor, NYPD Detective Gil Arroyo. Arroyo's one of the best detectives around, and he expects no less from his team, which includes Detective JT Tarmel, a born-and-bred New Yorker who questions whether Bright is a psychopath himself."

steelepulse Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Looking forward to "The Irishman" coming to Netflix at the end of next month. Pacino, De Niro, Pesci and Scorsese directing. Running time of 3.5 hours but all the reviews in so far say it's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyJ Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 "Godfather of Harlem" = Worthless. Not as rock bottom awful as "Hustlers" is by reputation (has JellO ever been in a successful film?), but bad in every way. Was ready to quit after about 5 minutes. Hope springs eternal, and I lasted perhaps 30 minutes. Terrible script, direction, acting, music choices all wrong (50's - I think - Harlem - or early 60's) and they're using rap music during the transitions).

Saint Nick Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 May I suggest "The Boys"? Marketed as the "anti- Avengers", this series is way more than that! Dark, sarcastic, bloody...there is much to love about this one! From the people that brought you the fantastic "Preacher"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be confused with a 2016 movie with exactly the same name but a totally different story ???? In fact “ Salton Sea “ is the title of a few movies, shorts, series and a documentary !!

xylophone Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Watched the movie, "The Motorcycle Diaries" last night and I had seen it before many years ago but this time round, I realised much more clearly, how Che Guevara had formed his Communist views.... "He is a symbol of radical revolution for those who are underrepresented because of capitalistic society" and this became very clear in the latter stages of the film. All in all it was a very enjoyable movie and I'm so glad that I watched it again......it has subtitles in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 "I don't feel at home in this world anymore" Started off dull then ended in one of the most excessive bloodbaths I've ever seen. Worth watching. Pennyworth series just ended with him banging Queen Liz in a one night stand.

Hadn't read anything about it - I try not to know anything in advance - and didn't realize who the lead character was. It hit me on a 2nd viewing.

Then, every once in awhile I come across a show - mainly miniseries which I never used to watch - that grabs me, which I wouldn't have watched if it wasn't for this forum.
