All 4 seasons of Banshee have dropped on Prime Video here in Asia.

I've heard so much about the show and seen a lot of action clips. But this will be the first time I am actually watching this series. Every serious action fan recommends it and I am just stoked.

From what I hear, almost every episode is trashy DTV action fun. Some of the fights are almost cinema level worthy.

Banshee is one of the few reasons I would get a fresh HBO subscription.

From what I hear, Ed Harris and the cast won't be sending Jim Cameron any Christmas cards anytime soon. They just hated the shooting for this.

That said, this is a technical masterpiece. I consider this above Titanic and the Avatar films. There are so many thrilling sequences to marvel at.

The Crane falling to drag the Deepcore station down (You can see the looks of horror on Bud and Lindsey's faces)

The "Breathe. Just Breathe!" scene.

P.S - I strongly recommend you check out The Abyss novelization. It was approved by James Cameron and fleshes out the backstory of the characters a lot.

I am really excited tonight. Netflix has brought us all 6 seasons of SCTV today. I've heard a lot about it, but never had the chance to watch it till now. Finally, I have the chance to experience classic John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and many others.

What should I expect?

Is Candy's "Johnny Toronto" character in the show? I heard about it from his documentary film "I LIKE ME".

I rewatched Rocky last night and it remains a classic. You can tell Stallone put a lot of heart and personality into his script.

Talia Shire gets overlooked sometimes, I think in her role as Adrian. She plays shy so naturally. Adrian and Rocky make an unlikely couple but it just works. They support each other.

Standout scenes

1. Adrian finally losing her temper at Paulie and telling him she takes care of him.

2. Rocky feeling so hurt at Mickey abandoning him for so many years.

No one writes about dirty cops like James Ellroy.

Yes, L.A Confidential's James Ellroy! I was surprised when the credits came on and I discovered who wrote this. But thinking back upon the plot about this, it makes sense.

Anyone, I really enjoyed this film. Forest Whitaker steals the show here, going all scenery stealing. Keanu Reeves is fine and I didn't mind Chris Evans showing up.

I consider this one of Guy Ritchie's best films.

It captures the 60's vibe so well. Making of the entire adventure stylish and so cool. Henry Cavil just radiates charisma and spy cool. (I am now more hopeful of the Highlander remake because of this)

Armie Hammer isn't too bad here as well. The hotel scene he has with Alicia Vikander just works. Ritchie has excellent use of music as well.

A pity this flopped. I would've loved a few more films.

I'll admit this. The vast majority of the films aren't good. But I think there is stuff to enjoy in some of them. Swordfights and photography mostly.

Highlander has Sean Connery and The Kurgan makes a great final foe for Lambert.

It's been a long while since i saw The Quickening but I remember thinking this was trashy entertainment. It also has Virginia Madsen which always helps.

Highlander III is practically a remake of the first film. But the Japan landscape at the beginning really is beautiful.

Donnie Yen is the only reason you should check out Highlander Endgame.

The Source is an abomination. I totally understand why they dumped it on the SyFy Channel.

I had the pleasure of revisiting this last night and enjoyed it. I especially liked how close-knit Hugh Grant, Kristin Scott Thomas and their friends are. To have people you can trust and care for is a treasure beyond price.

Scenes that stuck out

1. Kristin Scott Thomas admitting her crush on Grant.

2. John Hannah's funeral speech.

3. The hilarious scene where Grant has to sit in a table filled with his Ex's.

And we have Rowan Atkinson and the Wet Wet Wet song "Love Is All Around".

Andie McDowell is okay I guess. What do you think?

Looks like they are putting all 5 seasons into Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories from August onwards.

When i do a Netflix search, Midnight Diner doesn't appear. Only Tokyo Stories - which is no longer labeled "leaving soon".

In a way, I suppose this is more convenient. Hopefully they'll add the new 6th season there as well.
