Reasonable way of passing a little time. Islamically ok. There is an interesting Harvey Weinstein moment however.

[SPOILER ALERT]

The female CEO of a company is having an emotional moment and asks a male underling to come to her room (in his pyjamas & nightgown), he is unsure of the propriety of this but goes in. She asks him to sit on her bed and he's doubly uncomfortable, but she says she'll be sitting on the sofa, but later decides to come to the bed anyway (wearing a bathrobe). Now nothing happens and they remain fully clothed.

But I wonder if in real life the roles were reversed, this would be hashtagged as metoo ?

It (2017)

I succumbed to the peer pressure yesterday. On big screen.

A different kind of horror with a twist of irony and comedy. Not bad at all.

I went to cinema to watch it! But during all the scary scenes my eyes were closed lol so i watched nothing LOL

[Haji 2003 7,796]

Straddles the boundary between documentary and art. Some swearing towards the end in the monologue by the factory owner (around 2.00 of this clip), but excellent on so many different levels.

Probably not. One promotional theme has been the "first" black hero.

Not true. "Shaft" with Richard Roundtree was/is. Both the in-theater movies and the TV series. All good views.

Not the "first" black hero, but the the "first" black Superhero (fictional character with supernatural powers).

I never imagined nor thought of magic as heroic.

Thanx for the clarification on the movie.

Brother - the discussion was first "black" SuperHero. People are hyping Black Panther as the first black SuperHero so I mentioned Halle Berry as CatWoman as the first Black SuperHero.

But Berry's "cat woman" didn't have any magical powers did she?

Watched "Murder on the Orient Express" n i realllyyy liked it since Im a big fan of Sherlock Holmes n these detectives

[von Lohengramm 976]

 

Diriliş: Ertuğrul (2014-ongoing).

Can't believe I never found out about this sooner. Centres around Erturgrul, the father of the founder of the Ottoman Empire and part of the 13th-century (Muslim) Oghuz Turkic people.

I'm only on season one (out of four) but loving it. No edgelord gimmicks (nudity, gratuitous violence) like you find in similar shows of its genre, and Islamically safe to watch.

You can watch it free here with English subs: http://wlext.net/series/dirilis-ertugrul-season-1?server=openloadco&episode=001 And if your in doubt, I can guarantee you'll be hooked within the first five mins of episode one.

I only saw one episode but the first few seconds of the first episode was enough for me to have a positive opinion of it. (You know what I'm talking about)

I love Pakistani dramas so I binge on those when my mum watches one.

[Haji 2003 7,796]

Japanese workplace drama, Hanzawa Naoki, you'll have to search around for the different episodes:

[Haji 2003 7,796]

Good drama, Islamically ok. True story about the Soviet space programme, in Russian with subtitles.

Finally watched it this past weekend. Overhyped - I would give it 7/10.

On the Monday morning hype-called-news, the announcer said that "Black Panther" is on track to make a billion dollars in record time.

[hasanhh 7,587]

l watched a music video Sunday. Actually a sequence of still photos.

So, with one picture in particular in mind at 1:14m, this is for SC's resident tree-hugger, @notme

Note: the appeal of this Rank #9 1970 song can only be appreciated if you remember how bad pollution was in the 50s and 60s.

I watched it last weekend. It's a good movie. Highly recommend. Especially for those who were disappointed that Wonder Woman wasn't tough enough - Black Panther is full of powerful female characters.

Disagree. I'm not sure what your expectations were, but I thought it was very entertaining. I particularly like superhero movies though.

I might watch that sometime! I'm watching 'Mah e Tamaam' currently. I love Emmad Irfani's acting.

I liked it. Just not the best movie ever. I watched Thor: Ragnarok and thought it was better than Black Panther.

I haven't seen Ragnarok yet. I actually don't get to see many movies in the theater. Probably we will rent it when it comes to the Redbox. We have watched almost all the Marvel movies, though not most of the TV shows.

To me, there is nothing more movie-ridiculous than a female super-ego-heroine.

Edit: l found an example: Chicken Woman

Besides, these fantasies are all the same: low technological skills, wear only tights or their underwear, low-cut brassieres so their brains show, and the homonym "brassy airs" -no manners, ...

Baaghi is based on the life of a model who was the victim of an honour killing back in 2016. It was a good watch and I would defo recommend it.
