Added to the watch list.
I have these two movies on my list for a while now, especially Fatman. I still remember feeling a bit of confusion and mixed feeling when I first read the synopsis of it :
To save his declining business, Chris Cringle, also known as Santa Claus, is forced into a partnership with the U.S. military. Making matters worse, Chris gets locked into a deadly battle of wits against a highly skilled assassin, hired by a precocious 12-year-old, after receiving a lump of coal in his stocking.
I mean... why? Just why? This seems like a random straight to VOD movie with a famous actor name attached to it. But if you do recommend it I guess I'll have it jump a few spots on my list ...
A great old movie, starring Liam Neeson, which somehow I missed for so many years (shame on me!):
Schindler's List - 1993 - Biography, Drama, History -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108052Oh the feelings man... The girl with the red coat... Those last minutes of "brighthness" that the main actor feels at the end of the movie ... Those two scenes opened my heart and broke me in two (without saying "excuse me!"). It was the first movie that I saw that trully made me cry watching the performance of Liam Neeson. Gosh I've got to rewatch it.
The above horror movie helped me to find that a TV serie was also created about the Dyatlov Pass Incident. The serie is not actually horror (excepting a few scenes), but it is a very good Russian thriller. It has 8 episodes:
Dead Mountain: The Dyatlov Pass Incident (Pereval Dyatlova) - 2020 - Action, Horror, Thriller -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11455654 Hadn't heard anything about these but being based on a real life story has me hooked. Will definitely try to see at least the pilot!
I am not a fan of Russian movies / series (who is?!), but the above mentioned serie is really worth watching. Somehow, it reminded me about another great TV serie (not Russian):
Chernobyl - Drama, History, Thriller -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7366338Awww Chernobyl has a special place in my heart. The tremendous amazing performances, the script, the settings, the raw and pure emotion given in each scene.... Incredible piece of art.
Who doesn't love this scene ? (
BEWARE SPOILERS -
Boris Speech)
Overall great selection!
I just love to watch movies. My favourite movie list is so long. But if you want to know some good movies to me, here iare my list:
Joker-2019-Crime, Drama, Thriller -
https://imdb.to/2MMgWwgParasite-2019- Comedy, Drama, Thriller -
https://imdb.to/2NeuDUwWhile I haven't heard about the remaining ones, these two should be on the main list of any movie lover. I could go on and on about each of them, but I'll just say that you're missing out an incredible cinematic experience if you don't watch them (especially Parasite)...
