Amazon Prime Instant Video Rec

Wife and I rented 1923 on Prime and really liked it. Now we've rented 1883 and so far that seems really good too.

Funny thing is, I absolutely detest Yellowstone. It's cheesy, overwrought, unrealistic, soap operish, basically everything these other two shows aren't. Every character is unlikable and annoying AF. Too bad they couldn't have made a decent series set in modern times that lived up to the quality of the prequels.

Covenant is out. Predictable but entertaining.

I enjoyed the first and third acts, but the middle dragged.
It’s also the most un-Guy Ritchie film Guy Ritchie has ever made…

The documentary Kelce on Prime……is excellent. Totally worth a watch.

Rumble Fish is on Prime now. Great noir/art film if you’re into that

This was done very well. As a long time Eagles fan, it was fucking fantastic!

[Danno]

Just watched the first episode of The Peripheral. Damn, that was a fucking trip.

You’re in for a fun ride.

Damn straight.

Time for a re-watch!

Enjoyed the hell out of this series. Really hoping that they reverse course on the cancellation (it was renewed for S2, then canceled because of the writers strike).

Was that one before or after the duke made the exact same movie with Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson?

Wait ......WHAT?!?!?! Hoping maybe postponed? Please?

Wait ......WHAT?!?!?! Hoping maybe postponed? Please?

Yeah, they renewed it back in February. Then cancelled in August. But hopefully they change their mind.

The Covenant is a really good movie

[fomofo]

This looks fun.

[climberevan]

We enjoyed the first couple of episodes of Gen V. It's pretty much "The Boys" in a college setting.

RENFIELD
This was way more entertaining and over-the-top splatterific than I expected it to be. Then again it has Nic Cage going full Bela Lugosi overdrive, so I shouldn’t have been that surprised.
I actually put off seeing it because of Awkwafina, who I find to be annoying as hell. Yet she was actually okay here. Nicholas Hoult goes full-bore 1990’s era Hugh Grant, albeit with some Matrix-styled wire-fu ass-kicking insanity. Speaking of which, the action sequences are pretty damn bueno.
This is definitely an engaging diversion.

Loved it

Some decent B-movie goodness lurking on AP at the present:

COPSHOP
I skipped this when it had a limited run in the theaters because the trailer was kind of wack, imho.
Well, they pulled a fast one as the trailer was pure bait-and-switch, with the film being something else entirely.
This is a gritty neon western filled with some great character actors, some familiar faces, and a leading lady who is beyond badass.
There is also an insane turn from Toby Huss, who, as the saying goes. steals the show.

RIYL
Assault On Precinct 13; Brawl In Cellblock 99; Free Fire; Shoot 'Em Up

B13
Parkour-fu in excelsius!
Or Ong Bak en francaise.
Okay, so the story and the acting are kinda cheesy, but the action sequences more than make up for it.


And whoever made this trailer knows how to make a trailer: no dialogue, just lottsa ass-kicking.

SIN NOMBRE
•(Note: leaving Prime 10/31/23)•
Part road trip drama, part gang infested drama, part chase thriller, part Romeo/Juliet doomed love story, this film follows some familiar tropes of those genres, but is crisply paced, fantastically acted, and nicely filmed.

MY YOUNG AUNTIE
Directed by the legendary Lau Kar-Leung, this film is a beguiling pastiche of romcom, slapstick, beach party/college raunch, and of course martial arts mayhem. Centered around a female protagonist who puts men in their places with fists of fury, it’s strength lies in the well choreographed fight sequences and the charisma of its lead actors; while Kara Hui may be the titular character, Hsiao Ho practically steals the show with his infectious grin and high flying fisticuffs.
Oh yeah, it features a low-key cameo from the “master killer” himself, Gordon Liu (not terribly surprising given that Lau Kar-Leung had directed Liu in the seminal The 36th Chamber of Shaolin a few years earlier).

Watched most of The Terminal List now while being sick. Am I fever dreaming or is this some sort of wetdream metaphor about retribution for making spec ops guys get the CoVID vaccine?

EK THA TIGER
Okay, full-disclosure: this is not a great film by any stretch, but it is an enjoyable and engaging time waster.
It’s a secret agent romance action comedy borrowing heavily from both the James Bond and M:I franchises and containing a pretty cliche ridden storyline.
Yet both the opening and third act action set pieces are pretty solid (except for a few really shoddy blue screen moments here and there).
This is the first film in an ongoing interconnected series known as the YRF Spy Universe, so they’re taking a page from the Marvel cinematic blueprint, as well.
Oh, and there are totally elaborate and incongruous dance numbers—I learned they are called “item numbers”—sprinkled throughout the film for no reason whatsoever (a wacky and wonderful practice in almost every Indian film I have seen to date).

[The AD]

Has anyone watched Deadloch? Wife and I watched the first two episodes and I'm not quite sure whether to keep at it. So far its has its funny moments, but it's a bit on the frenetic side.
