Prime cut is another Hackman movie you might want to check out. Has Lee Marvin in it too.

“Mayfair Witches” and “A Discovery of Witches” are both terrible. Couldn’t find a good witch show; f***ing ticked

The first 2 seasons of Penny Dreadful are worth a watch if you want an elegant mix of highbrow literary and lowbrow gore in a Victorian setting. The second season is specifically based around witchcraft.

It's been a few years since we watched Penny Dreadful, but the thing that still sticks out to me is, that guy that played the monster should have won an Oscar for pretty much every episode he was in.

Frankenstein's monster? The acting was standard was pretty high across the board.
I’ve watched all of season one and part of season two of A Discovery of Witches and liked it. Ymmv I guess.

It was an okay guilty pleasure watch but I had to tap out when
the main character started acting like a giddy high schooler with her first crush. Too much for me

Introduced the lads to Die Hard. Felt like the right time.

@Beef Invictus Godzilla Minus One is what Casablanca would be with a better writer, better director, and better cast.

Expected a bit more from Napoleon...but it was entertaining enough. Battle scenes were good...the rest mediocre.

One of my favorite "alternative Christmas movies." I don't watch it every year but probably every other.
Really? It looked bland as f*** from the trailers lol

The trailers are hard to judge...they show their choice snippets and if they seem bland, the rest of the movie usually follows. But I like period pieces and the cinematography was good. The storyline and Joaquin Phoenix was mediocre though for sure.

Three things struck me when I watched the trilogy somewhat recently: (1) some of the dialogue, especially the banter, sounds out of place, (2) the CGI looks horrible, (3) the elf fight choreography is bad

I can’t stand Joaquin Phoenix so I may not see it even though I am a sucker for historical shit like that.

I like him less and less over the years. Takes himself way too seriously.

If you want to see him not taking himself seriously, watch 8mm.
Imagine all these years with his brother instead. F***ing tragedy.

Seriously. River was incredibly talented and far more charismatic.
Seen it a few times back in the late 90s early 00s.
Apologies to whomever originally posted -- and if you know who you are, let us know -- but do not miss The Holdovers (2023). Especially at Christmas time.
Give this a chance. You will be rewarded.

Was that you? Did you mention Paul Giamatti? I was aware of the film and positive critical reaction to it, but the post piqued my interest.
If so, thank you. I hated Sideways (2004) for various reasons, and have been leery of Giamatti since.
The Holdovers cured me of that. And helped with some other ailments.
Merry Christmas,
Do so. A less complicated world and therefore a haven of sorts.
Funny, with heart.
