Mewvies and TV 7 years, 12 months ago · updated 7 years, 11 months agoTV Recommendation: Inside No.9. BBC series of half-hour amusing dark comedy or just plain dark short stories. Latest one has been stuck in my head since I watched it last night. Not the funniest of episodes.
-
What shows are you Frengers liking at the moment?
-
The Blacklist is a current fave but I’m behind due to binge watching Forbrydelsen. Also House of Cards despite a slow third season.
-
I am really loving Person of Interest. Also, if you like dark/humorous short stories, watch Wild Tales!
-
orphan black!

Currently: Bates Motel, House of Cards, Better Call Saul, American Horror Story
Recently: Hannibal, True Detective, The Newsroom, Game of Thrones, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Peaky Blinders, The Fall

Mewvies and TV 8 years ago · updated 7 years, 12 months agoHas anyone watched both The Killing and Forbrydelsen? The Killing was probably one of my favorite shows and I was thinking about trying to track down a subtitled Forbrydelsen..especially since The Killing was so rudely cancelled.
-
The original’s amongst my favourite TV series ever. Can’t speak for the remake…I imagine you’d know who the killer was , at least in the first series, but it’s good enough to want to watch it anyway. Captures of the BBC showings are available online.
-
Now that I am 13 episodes into the original..I’m going to say that I don’t know for sure who the killer is. If its the same as the remake, the motive is 100% different. Unlike Nanna..Rosie wasn’t assaulted or held captive. My thoughts so far are:
Writing: Forbrydelsen is better, the remake took too many twists and turns. The original keeps you on…[Read more]-
Keep enjoying! I won’t say much because it’d probably involve spoilers. But The Killing is so good.
-
OMG it is. I had people come by unexpectedly and I’ve been snarly that I had to pause. I’ve done nothing but binge on it for the last two days and after episode 10, the similarities to the US version stop and the MAYBE ITS HIM!! is weaved so subtly that who is eyed suspiciously varies from viewer to viewer. First I kept thinking “Jens is…[Read more]

I watched and liked both versions. I was a bit critical of the U.S. version because it takes place in Seattle and they used a bit too much creative license with the amount of rain here while switching around the geography on a whim. But it is quite good, I’m just super nitpicky about details like that.
-
Being really familiar with the Pacific Northwest I did notice that but a really weird thing happened, it seemed both summers when I watched it there’d suddenly be all this rainy weather here.. Like some Linden and Holder rain dance 😉

This photo captures why the creative license of the show bugs me so much. On the left is a composite shot from the series. I can see at least three separate images put together but there are likely more. On the right is a real photo of Seattle…[Read more]
Ann Lancaster posted an update in the group Mewvies and TVRe: The U.S. version of \"The Killing\" & @solieri \'s original comment. (Please bear with my nitpicking.) This photo captures why the creative license of the show bugs me so much. On the left is a composite shot from the series. I can see at least three separate images put together but there are likely more. On the right is a real photo of Seattle taken from roughly the same angle (it\'s as close as I could find with a quick search.) If she were really standing where she\'s meant to be standing she would be on or near Harbor Island amidst a bunch of shipping containers in the middle of the Port of Seattle. Alki (the land mass to the left) would not be visible from that angle and there is definitely no grassy area where she could be standing. I see this view every day when I go to and from work so it bugs me a TON. I\'m sure no one else cares but I had to get that out of my system. The show is great otherwise! 😀 thekilling

I get weirdly indignant about the same thing. There’s a Nic Cage movie that was filmed in the San Bernardino National Forest (where Lake Arrowhead is) and I couldn’t watch it without shrieking about the same thing that bugs you with The Killing.
-
I’m glad I’m not alone!!!

Mewvies and TV 8 years, 1 month ago · updated 8 years, 1 month agoIf you have one, post your favourite movie. Mine would probably be 2001: A Space Oddysey.
-
One of the following: Bicycle Thieves, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Persona, Psycho, Taxi Driver, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Whiplash, The Wizard of Oz
(probably Psycho)
-
I have not seen Bicycle Thieves, Persona or Whiplash. Will have to check them out as I enjoyed all the other titles you posted.
-
Those were just the films I’d given 10 to on IMDB tbh. But Bicycle Thieves and Persona are probably genuinely in my top 5.
-
-
-
“Young Frankenstein” for comedy. “Donnie Darko” for drama/sci fi/fantasy/whatever.
-
argh, when it comes to movies I don’t really have any favourites because almost all of them are good.
oh well i’ll just pick one at random. Hachiko. -
What’s Tero’s pick, I wonder?
-
That’s way too hard. Give me a year and I give you a Top Ten. Note that 70’s onwards the lists are more accurate, as it’s really hard to get a hold of the older classics. For example, there’s a great number of films from 30’s I haven’t seen, knowing that they are great.
-
1988.
-
1. Dangerous Liaisons
2. The Accidental Tourist
3. A Fish Called Wanda
4. Grave of the Fireflies
5. Die Hard
6. Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
7. Working Girl
8. Rain Man
9. The Naked Gun
10. Gorillas in the Mist-
Was 1988 a good year for films?
-
It was an OKAY year, but that’s when I was a kid, so some titles (like Gorillas in the Mist) have extra value for nostalgia.

-
Only just got round to watching Apocalypse Now. Maybe that’s my favourite film of all time?
-
2001: A Space Odyssey !!
Breakfast club is one of my favorites
-
Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind, is mine!
-
Either the Japanese Confessions, or the Korean Oldboy. Also, I just watched “I Origins” which was great. I’m not in touch with the classics, but I am familiar.
-
Confessions is great. Never was a fan of Oldboy that much.
-
It’s weird that you like the one and not the other, because it’s most fitting that you wouldn’t like Asian cinema in general. Odd. Get to I Origins, now!
-
-
-
There are another couple movies that are more depressing which I hold high – Dogville and Dancer In The Dark – but really, my safe warm welcoming feel-good truly-favourite movie is Chocolat… delicious.

Mewvies and TV 8 years, 1 month agoJust watched Spirited Away. Never seen a Miyazaki film before (I know, I know). It felt like a Mew song in film form. Totally mad imagination which somehow formed a cohesive, beautiful and meaningful whole.
-
If you liked Spirited Away you should definitely check out the other studio Ghibli movies.
-
I love love love love Ghibli movies. They are so imaginative and cute. I have a tattoo of Totoro on my leg!
-
And clearly Mew loves Ghibli & Totoro as well!
-
personally I like Mamoru Hosoda’s movies better. you guys should check out his works.
-
I really love the Miyazaki movies too! My favorites are probably My Neighbour Totoro and Porco Rosso!

Mewvies and TV 8 years, 1 month agoSo since I found out that Jonas Bjerres favorite movie now is “The Dark Crystal”, @shespider and I watched is the other day. It was indeed a Jonas-Bjerre-like movie. I liked it in all it’s wierdness.
-
Haha, this makes me so happy. Loved that movie.

Mewvies and TV 8 years, 2 months agoThis might appeal to some people on here. It started last night (I haven’t seen the first episode yet), and has got mostly positive reviews, although it’s been compared a lot both to the Killing (Forbrydelsen), Twin Peaks, and Fargo but perhaps without the unique elements which made those series…[Read more]
-
Gambon + Eccleston being in it really sold it to me.
Wasn’t sure what it was about but the trailer oozed atmosphere and your description has me excited to start the first episode.

Mewvies and TV 8 years, 2 months agoI saw Whiplash last weekend. Best film of the last ten years.
-
Definitely the best movie of 2014!! Both the opening and the ending are breathtaking.
-
Very intense movie. It’s on my Top 5 of 2014.
-
You’re very into films, aren’t you?
-
I sure am. One of my jobs.
-
Do you write reviews? Which film do you tip for the Best Picture Oscar? What would be your film of the year?
-
I do. Boyhood is the answer for the other two.
-
Still have managed not to see it. Meant to see it when it was in the cinema. Will remedy that soon.
-
-
-
-
-
It was made well, but the storyline is off. The deus ex machina at the end made me cringe so very hard.
-
Haven’t seen Whiplash yet although i’ll hopefully remedy that soon.
