The OA

Currently watching Glitch. It's an australian series about people coming back alive like Resurrection few years back. It's much better than Resurrection and only 6 eps per season so great for binge watch.

New season (3) is coming this Wednesday.

i need good movies
got myself a VPN and watching US netflix

What VPN is it and How much u paid for it?

Any titles u can recommend frm that 1?
Our regular Netflix titles not satisfactory? 😜
.....

I watched
'Den of thieves' previous night.. Decent 2 hour spent. Not bad but not that great either.. Simple to watch and has a twist to the ending - Worth a watch!

I use NordVPN... only a few VPNs can bypass the netflix country filter... and NordVPN is one of them... I got it for like rm400 for the 2-year plan... But can put on 5 devices, so i'm sharing with my friends..

They have other titles on every country, sometimes i switch to singapore or the US... cant recommend any title cuz for me, i watch netflix just to pass time only, dont have a favorite... but if u ask me, I like documentary shows and big bang theory which already available in Malaysia lol... I'm not a movie geek, so cant really tell..

Mindhunter

I watch this in GSC on release day and dam great one

This post has been edited by skylinelover: Sep 22 2019, 02:38 PM

this topic is for share any titles that come to mind that is worth a watch.... so any will do

bcoz netflix too many to watch d...... some suggestions or recommendations will definitely help ppl like me, whereby im always wondering if this or that is worth the time or not.......

their search function algorithm isnt exactly "smart".... and then there is no review feature..... which makes it even harder to separate good or bad. lol. wasting a lot time to go check out review on google. unless of course already recommended somewhere or by some1...



the nord vpn are u still looking for ppl to share? how does it work actually the vpn? and how exactly do u switch?

ah shit, i totally forgot about the topic of this post lol.... anyways, I actually come here to look for suggestions.

Dark
A rare sci-fi mind blowing gem from Germany, some will call it a darker, slow burn German version of Stranger Things
First few episodes is a bit slow, you can't really understand on what's going on, I almost drop it after watching the first episode few months back, but once you get past the first few episodes and into the major mind blowing revelation, you can't stop already.

Thanks guys...

BTW, really looking forward to the movie Fractured starring Sam Warthington...

Arriving Oct 11

i like and suggest these on netflix:

narcos (crime)
stranger things (syfy, mystery)
altered carbon (syfy)
money heist (crime, spanish)
kingdom (horror, korean)
fauda (action thriller, israeli)
dirilis ertugrul (historical fiction, turkish)

Between Two Ferns The Movie is so good. This might be the best comedy movie Netflix has ever put out.

Best experienced if you familiarize with Between Two Ferns skit first, it's on youtube.

final space. stupid at first, but grows on you

Looking good...they even got Harvey Keitel.

money heist

Can't wait to watch "Between Two Ferns" (out already) and "El Camino"

Currently watching from the beginning, "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (watched it as a kid).

A lot to recommend, "Mindhunter", "The Bodyguard", "Breaking Bad" comes to mind... I think Netflix's algorithm for recommendation is quite good. So far the recommendations to me has been really decent.

I think going to Netflix US is a bit overkill to me, Netflix Malaysia already have too many things to watch (and so many I stopped watching mid-way saying I'll continue watching later lol).

Last good Netflix film I watched was "I Am Mother" (8/10 to me) and "Murder Mystery" (7/10), "Triple Frontier" also decent.

The overhyped film "Bird Box" was absolute bird poop. Not worth watching. For horror "The Ritual" comes to mind as one of my absolute favorites - stellar cast, creepy woods and a decent ending.

Really digging Olivia Colman taking over Claire Foy. Guess it's Margaret Thatcher turn now to tango with the Queen.

Peaky Blinders is worth looking into although not an original netflix show. The first three seasons almost perfect TV for me. In my eyes there are up there with The Wire or Sopranos.

Hi guys do u think its prudent for me to compile suggested titles on 1st post?
Together along with the person recommending it?

Yup, compile the list and put it in your first post

thanks all for the recommendation and input.

have already compiled titles on first post, without prejudice , so if it ive missed out any of your favorites, kindly remind

Why is there The Wire and Sopranos in the list lol? Those 2 shows are HBO, and here in Malaysia you can only get it through Astro.

Thanks for notifying! Sorry just added without actually filtering...

Anyway hope to have more movies brought up here...
As not every1 got the stamina to follow series - Just like me. Hehe

Not my cup of tea. Maybe others can enjoy this nevertheless.

Haha hope netflix load some scorcese classics soon

This is next generation of 70s story retold in modern era

Same

I prefer mini series than mega series

If you like comedic current affairs PATRIOT with HASAN MINHAJ is awsume

Even got feature our 1mdb scandal with GE14 jibe in season 3

People are going ga-ga over The Irishman. GDT wrote some passionate man-crush review at his Twitter.
https://www.slashfilm.com/guillermo-del-tor...n-the-irishman/

Isit? do u use this on apple device? as i know android + smart tv can't use nordvpn to watch edy. They managed to detect. I also bought n refund within one month coz it doesn't work for me, except on apple device.

Mana this Jipunis series? The legend of AV

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4GXXmiqT6E

Someone can guide how to embed it? Thanks

It's been a while since I've been enamored by a fantasy series, but wow Dark Crystal Age Of Resistance is amazing --- and I'm only halfway through.
If you want to experience something akin to Lord of The Rings but with puppet, give it a try.


In The Tall Grass just got added yesterday. It's pretty good, but not as good as other Stephen King's adaptation on Netflix ---- 1922 and Gerald's Game is way better.

This post has been edited by ray148: Oct 5 2019, 06:21 AM

In the Tall Glass - Watchable-lah! Not one of those garbage Netflix movie.

updated 1st post!

El Camino out 2moro on the 11th!

ah i only use it on my PC... never on other devices, havent try before

Maybe I prefer heists/conspiracies/guns/security services/political related stories so I watched :

1) Money Heist
2) Designated Survivor
3) Shooter
4) Stranger Things (Watched due to hype)
5) Now : Blacklist

Something a bit different, but short & sweet
- The End of the Fxxking World

Season 2 coming 5th Nov

El Camino - The proper send off of Jesse.
This one solely for those who wanted a more definitive closure for Jesse Pinkman. Picking up right after Jesse escapes the meth facility. Gilligan did his usual passive Chekhov's guns set-up that kept you guessing the payoff. It's the last hurrah that won't rival the best Breaking Bad episode but a bittersweet finale that close the final chapter. A great send off or a very well written epilogue. The flashbacks tug your heartstrings with cameos of the who's who of Breaking Bad.

Love death and robots

If u don’t watch this u will regret for life

yup, finally they put a full stop on the ending of Breaking Bad finale after 6 long years

it's nice to see the returning characters, oh my, Todd has put on lots of weight
Too bad didn't see even a glimpse of Saul, only got a mention, the lawyer

and Bryan Cranston is excellent, feels like he's just walk out from the set of BB 6 years ago
while the rest of the characters you can notice some differences in term of their acting compared to BB

and... also finally they put the nail in the coffin where there are a lot debates over a popular plot


This post has been edited by greyshadow: Oct 14 2019, 01:49 PM

Still holding out on El Camino... Want to watch it on a long weekend

This and Between: Two Ferns 😋

Wonder if the critically acclaimed The Irishman will make it to our Netflix.

updated 1st post!

there has been a lot of critics on Fractured lately on FB group - worth a shot!

i personally find it nerve wrecking right from start... ending a bit mixed feelings. wahahahaha.....

series list here growing extensively but not movie ... lol.

ps. any1 want to share their netflix? willing to pay

Recently, I see Power season 6 on Netflix this season is a good deal exciting. I like all the characters and also Power Black Jacket which is worn by Tommy Egan.

Ehh...Fractured is thoroughly mediocre. The movie hit you in the face with clues like a brick, that twist ending felt real predictable instead of revelatory.

Finished a documentary last weekend, The Keepers and my god it made me physically ill. What a fcuked up story.

Dark is a good series to watch. It's not English though, but it's totally worth the time reading the subtitle, although i'm already into Season 2 but still don't understand a thing haha but it somehow makes me want more.

A lot of things will be revealed in s2. But the finale hit me like train. The main plot device is already quite complicated and the ending add another complex dimension on top. Not sure impressed or put off lol

Fractured is so boring and draggy

any series with nudity to recommend ? i like to watch series with some nudity to spice it up..

For the series that i would like to recommend is
Vikings, Black Sails, Marco Polo,Sex Education, Peaky Blinders

I like where this is going... Hahahahah.

Thanks for recommendations.

Since we r on this topic, wanna ask, those HK movies starring Anthony Wong actually what genre r they considered? Those like porn but not porn but also got storyline.... E. G. Sex and zen

Category 3, soft-porn...

The Laundromat - So-so only. Like the playful tone but wishy-washy on messaging.

Haha few months after the US premiere i guess😄😆

Eli --- Didn't expect this to be a ghost horror movie. Pretty generic all the way until the ending, so...eh. 5/10

This post has been edited by ray148: Oct 27 2019, 08:00 PM

Found this little gem in the recommended list:

If you like time travel, spanish (and some world) history & don't mind subtitles:

El ministerio del Tiempo

(The Ministry of Time)

Another movie night:

Rattlesnake --- I wish there's more to this movie. The concept is interesting (a single mom has to kill someone to fulfill a contract), but that's it. Too simple of a movie. 4/10

Dolemite is My Name --- Such a great and good feeling movie. Great acting and very inspiring story. It's been a while since we've last seen Eddie Murphy, and this movie mark a triumphant return for sure. I wonder if Oscar will see this movie, because it deserve a nomination at least for best acting. 10/10

This post has been edited by ray148: Oct 27 2019, 07:59 PM

Hi guys would appreciate it if you can end your review with a 'recommended' or 'not recommended' verdict.. Tq

haha definitely the best since DREAM GIRLS

Have you all watched Kominsky Method? Great acting from Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin. I'd Recommend it

Been binged watching mindhunter. I loved how it stayed true to the 70s, bill smoked everywhere. In office, in airports, hell even in flights too lol

I can't stand holden though, he was supposed to be a genius but really gave the impression of arrogant, self absorbed, holier than thou attitude.

This post has been edited by axxer: Oct 31 2019, 04:29 PM

yeah mindhunter is good. This is one of the series that i watch without keep fast forwading...

Lucifer is nice

ok park for more nice movies

Watched El Camino recently...

If you are a fan of Breaking Bad, this is the closure / epilogue you wouldn't want to miss.

Heck it even feels like a TV episode but with a more cinematic approach.

Love the cameos ESPECIALLY, you-know-who (I almost lost it when I saw that).

Thrilling, exhilarating, on-the-edge-of-your-seat stuff Breaking Bad is known for with some stellar acting performances.

Highly recommended.

Truly a gift for Breaking Bad fans.

ok thanks mate.
definitely will watch

Heard great things abt The King. Anyone watched it yet? I'm kinda stuck with work...hoping for honest thoughts abt the film

The King - Another take on King Henry V, the reluctant King who also known as the great warrior king that successfully wage a war campaign against France. While I enjoyed the majority of actors in it, competently shot but it's just another historical biopic that doesn't rise against the norm. Joel Edgerton and Robert Pattison gave good and funny performance to contrast an otherwise somber movie.

Dolemite is my name - This movie oozes blood and tears from the comedy element. It's a passion project by Eddie Murphy that tells the story of Rudy Ray Moore, a down on his luck entertainer who find fame and glory in an unexpected outlet. A well rounded cast of who's who black comedians that makes this heartfelt and feel good movie of the year. Wesley Snipes is all golden as the detestable actor. Highly recommended.

Thx man. I kinda enjoyed King Arthur: Legend of the Sword so was hoping the film to be on the same vein...would consider watchin it..esp Robert's stealing the spotlight nowadays...future Batman, Nolan's tenet now this...

Haha this was a 70s blaxploitation as well

Of course hard 2 watch since its already not standing the test of time hahahaha

Think the King is a prelude to Villeneuve's Dune. You can gauge what Timothee Chalamet can bring to table as the conqueror Paul Atreides.

Yeah...heard great things abt Dune. It's one of my most anticipated films of next year along with Nolan's Tenet. If it's true as you said...then I gotta catch The King at any cost. Perhaps latest by this weekend for sure.

Don't put too much expectation into The King based on the big names mentioned in the trailer, some of them are just cameo at best

IMO it's just a mediocre medieval movie, the plot & pacing isn't much to shout about, but I love the attention to the details on the armored knights, and I like the final battle too, was expecting a grander scale, guess they run out of budget? or shorthanded? but the long shot is impressive nonetheless.

updated page 1 - thanks guys

No one watching the Korean series, Chief of Staff?

Damm, i'm hooked to it. I'm not sure if it's due to the heartfelt monologue or the farking dapper korean suits/shirts or the unpredictable storyline, but every episode feels like a good movie to me. Totally impressed, but somehow doesnt seem to be popular.

Watched Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines on Netflix - - not bad but not sure can recommended if you haven't seen T1/T2.

The last I watched many years ago I didn't really like it but after a recent marathon of T1, T2 and then T3, not bad at all... fits the plot line really well.

T4 Salvation - - maybe it's just me, but I kinda like the whole warfare with the machines. Plot wise it may stink but the CG holds up well and the action sequences are decent. Going from T3 -> T4 is quite a difference in stylization.

Will watch T5 Genisys - - can't remember much of this film maybe because it was that forgettable, will watch it later.

Currently watching Supernatural from Netflix US. Last time Netflix MY show but only up to season 8 and now missing.
Netflix US show till the current season 14.. lol

Do u use vpn to unlock other region's contents?

Yes.. need to use VPN to unlock regional geo restrictioan.
I'm using ExpressVPN.

This post has been edited by waveweaver: Nov 14 2019, 05:06 PM

This is paid vpn or free?

I have paid Nord but not really sure if it works or not. Lol. How to test?

Yup.. paid VPN.. a bit expensive than Nord but i''m sure Nord should be capable to beat the geo lock.
Power on your Nord.. set to US server if you wanna get US Netflix contents. Once you connected to US server then open your Netflix app like usual. Now you should have US contents. If you not sure try type Supernatural (just example) for searching.. If you can get that movies mean you're on US Netflix since MY Netflix dont have that series anymore.

This post has been edited by waveweaver: Nov 14 2019, 07:25 PM

Ya yday checked d.. can... Bcoz there was a time I read nord was blocked d and I wasn't really sure how to check. All good now tho

Hey thanks for your informative replies!

Most welcome.

One more thing. If you download any movies from netflix US then you need to turn on your Nordvpn first in order to watch it. Once uou in netflix US then you can turn off your Nord. If you straight away open netflix app without turn on your Nord you will be going into MY netflix and all your downloaded movies from US netflix cannot be played.

Btw...since you already have Nord.. go subscribe disney+ also lar... lol

And Apple TV

Or

Hulu / Prime TV

Nobody's Looking

another foreign gem, a short & sweet comedy series, 8 x 30mins episodes

well written & enjoyable

Klaus (2019)

I thought... "Hmm... another Christmas film."

I heard it was about the origins of Santa. Riiiight... like it hasn't been done before (maybe lol).

Surprise. Surprise.

This was AN ABSOLUTE GEM.

At first I was like sure... the character Jesper being thrown into such a location Smeerensburg and that's when things got interesting

What has been happening in this town is almost a metaphor / symbolism of what is happening in the world today.

Long story short, to put it simply, the 'stories' about Santa - - from mailing your letters, the good/naughty list, the use of reindeers, Santa's sleigh flying through the night sky, Santa's ability to go down the chimney, coal in the socks if you're bad, the toys and how/why they're made - - ALL of this was shown in its origin. Unexpectedly well done too, not thrown in your face. You have to pick it up yourself which makes it all more special . You'll be going "Ohhh.... so that's how the story got around about <so> and <so>.."

Good effective use of music too, with some contemporary tracks thrown in. The song "Invisible" by Zara Larsson was quite good.

The ending was really satisfying, emotional and endearing. Santa himself is presented as this lumbering beast (see the film to see his backstory).

Really well done with amazing voice acting and not sure if this was 2D or 3D but the animation was on par with Disney

Props to the writers to come up with such a brilliant story.

Highly recommended for the whole family.

One of the best Christmas films I have seen.

This post has been edited by defaultname365: Nov 25 2019, 11:22 AM

updated 1st page - thanks all!

wonder why they removed....lol. how frustrating if watching halfway........

appreciate the lengthy reviews - keep it up ! looking forward to more!!

Just watched The Irishman. Holy batman, 3 hours and a half of pure awesomeness. Since i liked the godfather then maybe I'm abit biased because this got all the vibe of the godfather too, hell they even played the iconic godfather theme song early on in the restaurant scene giving me a goosebump lol

The movie is full of suble jokes too here and there.

Frank: I'm sorry but i gotta direct youse to my attorney mr ragano if youse wanna talk about mr hoffa or any matter for that matter. I got nothing new to say.
The fbi guy: he's dead.
Frank: who's dead?
The fbi guy: your attorney, mr ragano.
Frank: he's dead? Who did it?
The fbi guy: ..... cancer.

I laughed so hard

Anyone liked crime, mafia themed slow burning movie then this is to be watched. 10/10

Man

Need 2 take an off day 2 watch this shit

Hahahaha

Watching artsy more mind challenging than BO cinema flicks

I need to make time to watch this. Godfather is still one of my favourite movies.

Haha i check part 1 and part 2 many times

Some how part 3 was not good enough

6 Underground - The same shitty incoherent pile of garbage you associate with what Michael Bay capable of. The same juvenile dick jokes with inconsequential story beats that infuriatingly does not make any sense. FARK this movie!!!

Marriage Story - After The Irishman, there is no contest the second best movie put out by Netflix is this for 2019. It's not as bleak as Blue Valentine where the perfect couple slowly eroding to bitter animosity toward each other. It's more than that, it shows the trauma of actually going through a divorce that seldom depicted in movie. While a lot of crying and frustration going on, there's healthy of humour to keep you invested. It's not a misery porn drama but a great dramedy with a very likable cast. Superb acting performance and I can see why Adam Driver being a frontrunner for best actor nomination.

Haha never knew the beloved kylo ren was the great artsy actor outside star wars

I think i should check this out soon and i wonder does Rey had any best role outside of star wars

Just watched 2 early episode of the witcher. Not that good but not terrible either. Mind you i didn't visit it already knew the storyline because i haven't read the book nor played the game. The pace are abit "fast" for my liking, plus a few inconsistency like geralt was supposed to be a miserable loner because he was shunned all his life but then he can insta befriend the annoying joker from the tavern just fine. Like wtf? Passive aggresive friendly loner.

Another thing, maybe its really in the book but I wouldn't know, what with the full frontal nudity already in ep1? Giving the impression of games of thrones wannabe

Well nudity is like the book.

Finish everything. Well worth it!!!!
Need some time to understand the timeline in first few episodes. After ep4-5 probably you can grasp it
