What's streaming that's good TV/movies

[dahliaclone]

I didn't think it dropped until tomorrow, but randomly turned on AppleTV and the new Cape Fear series first two eps are available. Critics are raving about it...i wasn't sure after the trailer. But holy **** the first ten minutes are...something. Oof.

Couple things on Netflix: Marty a Martin Short doc and Remembering Gene Wilder which leaves Netflix June 12th.

The back end of the Gene Wilder one you will need some tissues.

Widow's Bay fans...this week's episode was fantastic (like all the others). But it solidified my stance that the actress that plays Patricia needs to be up for all the awards. She's so ******* hilarious.

Following the body around with a shotgun was hilarious and smart.

Following the body around with a shotgun was hilarious and smart.

I love how the writers lean into the trope (the Final Girl being chased by the monster, boogey man, serial killer, etc.) and then completely subvert it (Patricia does all of the RIGHT things instead of what the typical Final Girl does in these stories).

i was laughing so ******* hard. she's perfect for that role. that show is far smarter and better than i ever thought it could be

Thought there was a general movie thread for the year but I guess not so I'll post it here. The new Scary Movie is phenomenal.

I'm going to have to see it again because there was so much I missed from laughing so hard.

We watched episode 1 tonight, and yeah, they nailed the vibe on this one so far.

Well i have never been a horror movie guy but i finally caved and saw obsession to see what all the hype is about. Wow it is a phenomenal movie that I highly recommend

Does Bardem have a nail gun in this one?

Saw the film version with Robert Mitchum when I was a kid and hated that guy ever after.

Somebody, I won't say who, is on a Tom-Hardy-lesser-known film jag at my house. First two offerings:

Dot the I (2003) - Bizarre love triangle with not one major twist, but two. Hardy has a small role as a young flunky for the perpetrator. On Prime.



Locke (2013) - All the action takes place with Hardy's character, a married family man who has an ultra important international contract, who throws it all away as he drives to London to be with the woman giving birth to his child. Lots more interesting than the summary sounds. Available on several platforms. I watched it on Tubi.



Next up, Lawless (2012) on Pluto.

not yet that i've seen. but he's a nasty mofo. i thought DeNiro was a great villain in this 90s role. Bardem is right there with both Mitchum and DeNiro.

You should watch the 1962 version. It's worth the four bucks rental, if not currently on TCM's movies on demand rotation.

Widow's Bay is one of the best series I've watched in quite a while.

That and the book club taser scene killed me.

Lady had it coming for a few episodes.

Again not streaming but today finally saw the masters of the universe movie. Very good.

 

[pourcyne]

This "Meru" documentary is several years old, but still very good. Streaming on Prime and several free platforms as well.

Widows Bay season finale did not disappoint.

Spoiler

Season 2 has the potential to be amazing. I kinda hope they do a flashback season for previous cycles and the offerings.

But I see this was just renewed for season 2 last week. So hopefully they can film this and turn it around quicker than some of the HBO series that have taken forever between seasons.

We can assume based on that old video from the shelter that was watched + the 8 bell tolls that eight deaths are coming?

Spoiler

Is that 8 beyond the guy that was already killed in the room?

Also, is this a separate curse than what they’ve been trying to end with the founders bloodline? Or would Evan dying end this curse?

And also, did I miss or not understand if they ever really found out why the priest killed himself? Was it because he found out about the sacrifices?
