Paycheck is a c-grade Bourne/Inception-esque Affleck/Uma vehicle... Uma has never looked worse.
Bottle Shock was not horrible. Rickman is awesome.

yes, Minority Report meets Bourne meets Inception but really awful version thereof.

not seen pulling but Men behaving badly is a pretty awful Bloke sitcom.

Been catching up on Saxondale. As an American who's met loads of Anglophiles, it's especially amusing that he's an Americanphile (is there a word for it?), with the Mach 1 'Stang and "U.S.A." t-shirts and all.
UHF is streaming, so that's always a good time.

Saxondale is fucking awesome

Recommendation for geeky romantics:
Thomas in Love (2001). Belgian sci-fi about an agoraphobe seeking love on-line, presented entirely from his screen.

does Saxondale look terrible for anybody else? I watched about ten minutes of it - almost seemed like it was going to be a British Eastbound & Down or something. I can't get past the poor quality, though.

watched 'last embrace' dir. jonathan demme - apes hitchcock in abt a dozen diff ways, is still decent - roy scheiders a pretty captivating leading man

"Just watched Straight Time - entertaining, gritty 70's heist flick. Awesome cast - Dustin Hoffman, Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, M. Emmet Walsh, and Kathy Bates."
One of my favorite movies.

At the risk of spamming the board about this movie, of you like smart horror movies " black Christmas" from 1974 is totally amazing.

check out the wind journeys if you are a fan of cinematography or latin american magical realism
about a teenager accompanying an accordion player across colombia to return his devil-possessed accordion to his former teacher
story kind of meandering but it looks fantastic

Straight Time contains my favorite Dustin Hoffman performance.

straight time was great!
kinda not surprised the wiki sez this:
Michael Mann also contributed to the screenplay but was uncredited upon the film's release. The novel later served as a source of reference for the character Neil McCauley in Mann's 1995 film Heat[citation needed].

That content includes “Medium,” which was recently canceled; “Flashpoint,” which is shared with CTV in Canada; and a raft of old shows like “Frasier,” “Family Ties” and “Cheers.” (Some of the shows included in the package are associated with other networks, but were distributed by CBS’s studio.)

anyone else find the instant browsing very cludgey? I mainly browse this via appletv so that might be part of it, but even on the site, I rarely run across some of these things when I'm browsing categories; but if I hunt it down by name there it is.

They don't let you see everything if you're just browsing, unfortunately.

Julia - with Tilda Swinton at her most mesmerizing. Feels almost like a condensed season of Breaking Bad with all the escalating, crazy plot turns and terrible decisions. There is really no reason this shouldn't be a mainstream hit.
Watched this, too. Really good!

watching those clips, Sour Grapes seems to make a lot more sense now w/ the benefit of Curb than it did when it was released.
