DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Anyone watched "The Edge" on amazon prime? It's about England Cricket's rise from 7th in the test rankings to 1st, but focuses heavily on the mental aspect of that. Link to post Share on other sites

I liked the KP documentary on Sky as well I think Hussein interviewed him really well in not shying away from asking the tougher questions. It would have been interesting to see Prior, Flower, Anderson and Broad involved in it though. Link to post Share on other sites

trekkers 104 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Just finished Season one of Mindhunter on Netflix. Season 2 already available. Seems a good show giving early insight into the FBI's BAU. Link to post Share on other sites

Seems a good show giving early insight into the FBI's BAU. Season 1 is awesome, while season 2 is slow and not very informative about famous serial killers or their psycology... It's more based around one specific case... No more spoilers, sorry... Season 2 is worth a watch, but I find season 1 better. Here's hoping season 3 will be a killer!

I love how you can see the transformation in his performance, he really emotes the changes in the character. That scene where hes walking out of the subway station after "the incident" (wont spoil it) is one of the most simple, powerful shots I think I've ever seen when put into context of what we had already seen up until that point, where hes suddenly just exuding cool and is finally comfortable in his own skin. I got *** goosebumps. A great character profile I thought, been recommending it since I left the cinema 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The Sinner on Netflix is really really good. Deep, eerie and with great actors and actresses! I'd give it 8/10 on the very critcal scale ? Link to post Share on other sites

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Does anyone else hear a certain piece of music and just tear up? This sounds ridiculous but there's a Ford Focus advert on at the moment with a brief classical sounding piece in it. Turns out it's by the utterly fantastic British musical collective The Cinematic Orchestra, two pieces called "Arrival of The Birds" and "The Transformation" originally written for a Disney documentary about flamingos of all things! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps a different form of tearing up in response to music but this made me laugh my tits off when one of the streams had it on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Great piece of music, but if anything it makes me feel chilled and tranquil, rather than tearing up. To get the waterworks going requires something like this... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
