A great comedy drama set in the outback, a slice of life type of film

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orville

It's great, started as a weird comedy hybrid but found its legs as a modern version of Star Trek the next generation.

The characters are a bit in your face, the story beats a little predictable, but its peak space opera.

It's very enjoyable, and has heart.

Has 3 seasons available.

This movie is peak 80s action, taking it self seriously but not overly so. I must have watched this movie a dozen times, but never all the way through. it's a staple of background action and comedy.

It is a top tier B movie cult classic.

A classic! A must watch on any rainy day.

Nice to see old computers struggling, compiling taking down systems. Great performances all around.

And of course "it's a unix system"

Five friends shopping at US/Mexico border face sicario hitmen, but the targets are actually Murciélagos.

A direct to netflix movie - a feel good story of a special forces unit trumping over a drug lord and corruption.

Overall, a solid movie - good action with some thoughtful moments of sacrifice and doing the right thing even with no support.

This is a highly impactful film following a grandfather and grand daughter struggle with poverty in south Korea. It makes me cry every time I watch it.

It's a well shot film, the pacing and emotional communication is first rate.

I recommend watching it when your in the mood for thoughtful emotions.

A absolutely masterful capture of tone and environment of the Chernobyl disaster. Focusing on the problems of soviet bureaucracy. A very impactful and moving series, a must watch.

What a wild film, real nightmare fuel for children. Yet family friendly and accessible.

It's a simple story, about a kid going on a galactic adventure. Video game recruitment

Recommend!

An amazing exploration of self and what it means to be alive set on a moon mining colony. Intensely atmospheric, the movie uses pauses and quiet moments to reflect on the intellectual journey of the main character.

Without spoiling anything, this is a great movie to watch totally blind.

Did you watch Snow White? What did you think?

Critical response

The BBC reported that British film critics have mostly panned the film, while US critics were more favorable.[90] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 44% of 177 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Snow White is hardly a grumpy time at the movies thanks to Rachel Zegler's luminous star turn, but its bashful treatment of the source material along with some dopey stylistic choices won't make everyone happy, either."[91] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 50 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[92] Audiences surveyed by PostTrak gave the film an average rating of three out of five stars, with 39% saying they would definitely recommend the film.[93]

Tales from the Loop follows the interconnected lives of the residents in the fictional town of Mercer, Ohio. Mercer is home to the Mercer Center for Experimental Physics, an underground facility known as the Loop. It is here that researchers attempt to "make the impossible possible".

A pretty good metaphysical scifi show, it requires full attention so not really second screen material. I recommend it for a slow paced black-mirror itch.
