Sweet Country premiered at the 74th Venice Film Festival on 6 September 2017, where it won the Special Jury Prize award.

The film is based on a real life true crime murder case where an Aboriginal man was arrested and put on trial for murdering a white man in central Australia ...

quite a last line barely audible

"“what chance does this country have”"

On to another tough movie and true


Could not finish Monster

Patrick Stewart narrating …good choice

Been bingeing the 8 Harry Potter movies in 4k. Dialed in better now both visual ( sorted HDR10 ) and audible ( hearing aids for dialogue detail ). The HDR works better to fill in dark details but they slide into impossible to watch on the last two except under ideal viewing. Music much better with corrected hearing.

Lusting for Game of Thrones 4k HDR but $320 for the set ....I'll pass.

Still bingeing Harry Potter but in between decided to try the Rebel Moon flicks.



Good cast, marginal CGi, the first flick with worse shooting than Star Wars. Very stilted dialogue...could use a
funnybone.


Glad to see him in action ...if you've not seen this on AppleTV ...it's very worthwhile and a very unlikely true story.
Book is excellent too.

On to part two considering myself a masochist.

Love the robot.

...fantastic caste


at least my funky TCL 50" is working again after its illness but it's not entirely cured.

[macdoc]

can't imagine the amount of work that went into this...
and still don't know how some shots are achieved

TCL is working okay at the moment after a few minutes warm up

[macdoc]

decent German thriller

[macdoc]

reminds me of another case further east in the US with a 15 year old I think.
No spoiler tho.

Watched it when it first came out but too long between seasons. There are 6 seasons now so time for a rewatch binge.

Sam Neill was well known of course but Cillian Murphy was not...is now.

I've been watching The Orville on Amazon. Kind of a light-hearted but loving tribute to Star Trek Next Gen. Took a bit of getting used to, but it has good characters and some really interesting storylines.

Just stumbled on this and recalled being blown away at the time.
From this phone salesman auditioning for Britain's Got Talent



The reaction of the judges and audience is just precious.
