Lockdown - What's Worth a Watch?

[SpyderTracks]

New series of True Detective with Jodie Foster starring. Keeping to the dark broody feel of the series. I'm looking forward to this, I love Jodie.

The first season is probably my favourite piece of cinema of any genre, Matthew McConaughey just absolutely blew it out of the water, and the writing was incredible. Haven't watched 2 and 3 yet, 2 was a bit of a let down from reviews, but I'll still watch it eventually.

I recently binge watched seasons 1-3 again to get me pumped for the new one. Season two was good, it just had the impossible to follow after Harrelson and McConaughey’s series. And Mahershala Ali is watchable in anything so season three is worth a gander.

Mrs C and I are currently on Boardwalk Empire, hopefully by the time we’re done we’ll be able to watch all of the new True Detective episodes.

I've only seen season 1 so far, do the other series tie in together or are they completely separate? Is there any benefit to watching them in sequence?

They’re essentially in the same universe but completely unconnected. I think the case in season one is briefly mentioned in the second season but there’s no character crossovers.

Line ‘em up and watch them in whatever order you like, amigo.

Watched The Beekeeper there. Another movie that's pretty much what you would expect but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ending was very abrupt but I think they're leaving the door wide open. I thought it was well made, with Statham doing Statham things

I'm a huge fan of Statham, I know he's been hugely typecast for his whole career but it's a winning formula in my view. I also like his relatively humble background, he's a fairly down to earth guy that just caught a break. I like that.

according the google

One man's brutal campaign for vengeance takes on national stakes after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as "Beekeepers".

homer wasnt expecting that, more honey less murder

 

[Scott]

I meant the Statham expectation more than the Beekeping expectation

Ive started watching season 4 so I'm going backwards 🤣 it's got me locked in. I can't get my head around Christopher Eccleston though. He's a great actor but I think I've seen him in too many English series for him to pull him off a strong American accent

Anyone else think that honey was too runny?

Didn't look very napalmy, that's for sure

Just been reminded of this one, this came out in 2000 called The Cell with J-Lo, it didn't get great reviews, but I always really liked it. She's a psychiatrist and has to go into the mind of a mass murderer to find out where he's hidden his victims, it's a really beautiful quite arty film, as well as being pretty twisted

Agree! This gives me the lawnmower man vibes! Don't know why

Very much so, same kind of arty visual risky approach. Loved them both!

this is a violent film but homer thought micheal canes acting is understated, yet menacing and homer thought it was a good performance, warning though, the film is violent, although the trailer is does not show much

I think his best film ever and probably one of the best British gang films of all time. He was absolutely incredible and Sean Harris who plays the totally bonkers addict leader was amazing too.
