Amazon Prime Instant Video Rec

Watched this the other night:



It's a solid wannabe wiseguys/heist film anchored by a couple of great leading performances by Theo Rossi and Clive Standen, as well as a really diverse and engaging supporting cast.

Enjoyed it.

Cheers

Blacklisted director Jules Dassin's (The Naked City; Rififi) 1964 international cast filled caper classic TOPKAPI just popped up on Prime.
It is a seminal entry in the heist genre.

The Aeronauts was pretty good. Very cool story.

Some fun adventurous scenes, but mostly chick flick. And WTF not wearing hats nor gloves at 28,000'?

And on the horror tip there is Ti West's retro-styled, super creepy THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL.
West is an extremely hit-or-miss genre director, but this is easily his masterpiece.
Teeming with some wicked performances and a great sense of unbalanced dread.

I still remember being scared shitless watching the Sentinel.
And that was about forty years ago.

Anybody watch a Patrick Melrose? Looks like a newer release starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Edit: First episode is a wild ride.

House of the devil was really enjoyable for a horror movie aficionado! Keep em rollin!!!

Nicholas Winding Refn's (Drive; Valhalla Rising; Bronson) first English language film is a claustrophobic psychological affair featuring John Turturro.

Loved it. Had no clue what was going on.

Yes, it's been around a while but an excellent watch.

Upload is okay. Kind of a nice mindless 30 min show. I miss the 30 minute stupid comedy shows.

I enjoyed it.

Just finished Antrum. Kinda creepy. If you don’t hear back from me tomorrow, the film lived to its billing as I’ll be dead, or possibly in the woods fucking a deer corpse.

Yeah, I like it. But I may have to go solo.

On the other hand, this was one the wife and I can watch. Right in her wheelhouse and not too corny for me.

Slick, well-made doc that is surprisingly heartfelt.
Contains some great interviews with pretty much everybody involved in the making of the film, plus lots of great back story and behind the scenes insight.

Jeezo - Maddie Bosch is getting hotter by the episode.

You can watch all of the old Columbo episodes (with commericals unfortunately) through Amazon Prime. Wife and I get a lot of mileage out of those.

You still alive, man?

Might be a case of which came first, the chicken or the egg, but this similar sounding film is also on Prime:

Still here. Movie turned out to be quite disingenuous

Prime has a treat for Ween fans, Ween Live at the Cats Cradle, from '91 or '92 (it's actually a collection of videos from multiple concerts, which happens to have been bundled with a live album that was recorded at Cats Cradle). This is early period Ween, definitely quite "brown", before they had a full band and a semi-conventional rock concert sound.

[Flyoverland Captive]

Love the God/Satan era Ween; like a folkier Butthole Surfers. Will watch.

Paul Verhoeven is perhaps best known for his Hollywood output, films like Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers, and the oft-maligned, but seriously classic, Showgirls.
Yet prior to descending upon the City of Angels in 1985, Verhoeven was perhaps the preeminent director in Holland. If you have never seen any of his early, seminal films such as A Soldier Of Orange, Spetters, or The Fourth Man, do yourself a favor and track them down.

In the early 2000s Verhoeven returned to his native Holland where he made this WWII thriller, originally released in 2006, and it one of the best of his career.

Killer Kung Fu Kraziness!

If you find yourself hankering for some martial arts mayhem of the Old School variety, but with a macabre and weird twist, then HUMAN LANTERNS should fit the bill.

Without giving too much away, the story is about two egotistical lords in constant competition with one another. While they are trying to one-up each other a monkey skull Bigfoot villain is kidnapping their women and doing unspeakable things to them. Much flying fisticuffs and swordplay and deadly fighting fan action ensues.

Based on “Stranger in a Strange Land”? Or something new?
