I thought it were a bit gash. Probably as the audience and the stig replacement were thick yanks.

Was laughing like fuck all the way through. Was funnier in the first 10 minutes than all of the "new" top gear put together.

Nice to see them have a proper budget and less restrictions.

It was funny admittedly but far too many Americans. Hope the next one in J-berg has less of them.
Clarkson's response to the Porsche's mpg was brilliant.

I think there'll be less Americans but there will be some Afrikaans. ..

Watched Sully and Ben Hur in the last week or so.

Sully is an ok watch about a pilot who landed on the Hudson river and his subsequent hearing for breaking protocol. Typical 'merican self loving story but watchable nonetheless.

Ben Hur is obviously a remake but I enjoyed watching it. The effects are very similar to 300, which isn't a bad thing.

The Grand Tour blows The new Top Gear out of the water (should have said knocks it off the road!). Just finished watching the first 3 episodes. 9/10

Just finished the first series of Man in the High Castle. Gripping stuff, but I thought the series end was a bit rushed/poor/surreal! Apart from that 9.5/10

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2016 1:59 am

At this moment I'm half way through probably my favourite film of all time....

The Blues Brothers!!!!

Seen it at least 15/17 times....a CLASSIC!!!!

Just finished Westworld.

Brilliant. 9.5/10.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2016 11:54 am

Watched the David Brent film last week, thought it was brilliant!

Binged watched 5 series of It's always sunny over the past 2 weeks, first two series were a bit slow but Danny Devito makes it for me.

Currently watching episode 5 of India v Engalnd. Its a sky series.

Bit poor though. Its exactly the same as episodes 2, 3, and 4. Exactly.

Sounds shit Colonel.

I watched The Messi show last night, a truly mesmerising performance.

The Colonel · **Joined:** Mon Aug 21, 2006 8:49 am **Posts:** 4891

I saw that too. Quite possibly the most anazing performance I have ever seen.

We will never see the likes again.

The Bishop · **Posted:** Mon Dec 19, 2016 7:13 pm

Watched the first 2 episodes of Startup. Slow Burner? Anyone else seen it? Is it worth a continue?

verbalkint · **Joined:** Thu Dec 20, 2007 9:08 pm **Posts:** 3135

I watched Birth of a Nation today what a brilliant film a must see, it's hard to believe the way the niggers where treated in southern America very hard to watch in parts

it's based on a true story about a slave who starts a uprising think it will be right up a few on here's Street

well I have just watched this:

http://www.documentarytube.com/videos/t ... y-of-anvil

The story of Anvil. The heavy metal band that nver quite made it, following a recommendation by Danny Baker on the radio

Best, if saddest, music documentary I have ever watched.

After rewatching the U.K. OFFICE, thought I'd finally watch the US version only to find out Netflix no longer shows it?

The Bishop · **Posted:** Thu Jan 05, 2017 7:48 pm

I think Joe Mac likes the US Office. Seem to remember he said it got better later on?

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Thu Jan 05, 2017 9:40 pm

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Thu Jan 05, 2017 11:20 pm

US Office is available on the fire stick with Kodi. The first series and probably the second series is shit but stick with it and it becomes it's own show and is genius.

yloop · **Posted:** Thu Jan 05, 2017 11:36 pm

Yep, the episodes that borrow the UK script don't work but it gets very good.

I loved Supersonic, thought some of the archive footage was brilliant.

Watched all 20 episodes in 3 days. Really enjoyed it, bit of a crap episode for a season end like.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Mon Jan 09, 2017 10:54 am

Bit of a slow start for season 2 but looking forward to season 3.

They released this teaser trailer the other day

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Sun Jan 15, 2017 9:04 pm

Just watched 2 very good British drama films....

Common....about a lad getting stabbed in a pizza shop and the trial that followed....very good....8/10

The Wee Man....about Paul Ferris the Glasgow gangster....superb....9/10

yloop · **Posted:** Sun Jan 15, 2017 9:08 pm

Currently watching Arrival, about aliens and that. Decent enough so far, shall report back.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Sun Jan 15, 2017 10:04 pm

In the last week I've watched

White House Down - Not a bad film but predictable

Supersonic - Absolutely quality, even if you're not a fan of the band you need to give this a watch. As mentioned above the archive footage is outstanding

When Harry Met Sally - A young Meg Ryan looks is smoking hot

Parks and Recreation - 3/4 of the way through season 2, really enjoying it it gets better as the series goes on

Watched Stranger Things yesterday.

Surprised they making another series tbh.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Sun Jan 15, 2017 10:11 pm

Now see I really enjoyed Stranger Things, looking forward to the next series.

Well worth a watch, thought it was going to disappear up its own arse at one point but it was alright. 7/10.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:09 pm

I love Parks and Recreation but thought the last couple of series it lost its way....got too serious and not enough laughs!!!! sadx

Anyway just watched the trailer for the series Sneaky Pete....looks quite good so gonna start watching it tomorrow!!!!

Anyone seen it????

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:14 pm

I watched the first episode of Sneaky Pete and really enjoyed it, think it's going to be a great series.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:31 pm

Good....I can't wait!!!!

BTW....Tried watching The Man In The High Castle again....got to episode 6 this time and I've gave in again....Just doesn't excite me at all!!!! confised

I have watched 3 episodes and it is really good.

The Accountant and Jack Reacher were good, I do like Tom.

I'm the same Mutley, stuck for something to watch and the trailer for the 2nd season enticed me in. 2 episodes is it all I could handle.

Started watching Taboo and BBC have that type of show down to a tee, if you enjoyed Peaky Blinders it's done by the same people I believe.

I didnt dislike it, just felt it could have been a natural ending point for the whole thing at the end of this series.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Mon Jan 16, 2017 12:13 pm

Looking forward to Fargo 3 coming up this spring.
I love serials with 10 max episodes, with a beginning middle and end and job done.
Especially when they're that quality.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Mon Jan 16, 2017 12:43 pm

I really want to catch up with Fargo, I got halfway through the first series then packed it in as our ex wasn't enjoying it and I never got round to watching it by myself.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Mon Jan 16, 2017 2:27 pm

The characterisation is incredible. Funnily enough I don't even notice characterisation unless it's either very good or very bad.

The first series is good but with a strange ending. I'm halfway through the second series and it's well weird! Sometimes I do get confused by it. Am sticking with it just to see how it ends.

monkeybutt · **Posted:** Tue Jan 17, 2017 10:01 pm

Sneaky Pete is brilliant.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Wed Jan 18, 2017 11:10 pm

Just watched a gem of a film....Rob the Mob!!!!
True story about a young couple who 'rob the mob' and unintentionally bring down 1 of America's biggest crime families!!!!
Very funny in places and also very sad in others....loved it....9/10!!!!

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Thu Jan 19, 2017 1:46 am

Just finished watching this....The Siege of Jadotville....available on Netflix as is the film above!!!!

Think Zulu but Irish soldiers in the Congo in 1961....brilliant film and superb and amazing true story....9/10!!!!

I watched that a few days ago, decent watch about an inspiring true story. Can't imagine how they would have felt, particularly on their return to Ireland.
