I thought you misspelled her name and didn't realize she reclaimed last year. Ironically, I watched something no too long ago where she played herself and corrected someone numerous times by saying "Tandy" when he kept pronouncing it with the "TH". Wish I would remember what show/move it was.
I thought it was mispelled in the credits also until I looked it up. Highly recommend Season 1 of Westworld if you haven't seen it

If you are a Thandiwe fan she is great in this
If you are into science or climate or exploration this is a winner - the cinematography is astonishing...they spent a full polar night near the north pole on an incredible research ship - in fact an entire year ....very engaging especially for me.
Streaming just about everywhere but the Netflix feed was very good.

i might have something for you, but it's indie; a webseries that I watched all in one go, like a movie. It struck me as rather uniquely Canadian and just plain weird. "Abracadavers." It's 4 episodes of about 20 minutes each, including intro and credits on each, so call it just over an hour (70-ish minutes?) of show.
Abracadavers | Watch for Free on The Fantasy Network
Chris’ Mom is dead. Then he got kidnapped. And now he’s developing super powers. Things are strange.

That's of course leaving out older stuff like "Strange Brew" and "The Canadian Conspiracy"
Hard Core Logo or Men With Brooms. Decisions, decisions.......
Canadian Movies ....there are lots
...Exotica is a stand out for me.
Do they want movies with Canadian subject matter or filmed in Canada? Lots of the latter.....especially Sci-fi like The Expanse and others.
Filmed in Canada? - lots you will recognize.

Hmm now I have someplace new to go and explore with the bike
thanks!
Filled in some holes in my knowledge and having actual footage from the Shackleton Expedition interwoven in the narrative and modern visuals was excellent. It wasn't Shackleton that brought the entire crew home ...it was Worsley's remarkable navigation skills. Very enjoyable :cheers:

This movie came back on my radar, a re watch.
Very reminiscent of John Hughes movies from the 80's. Some good scenery, especially the main actress.

James Naismith’s birthplace (inventor of basketball), home of Equator coffee roasters (best coffee around), great destination after booting around Calabogie, good food options (Cuban food truck by the River). Sorry…carry on.
"Metal Lords" on NetFlix. Aimed more at the Teen/YA audience but I really enjoyed it, and I'm definitely not a Metal guy. And I was glad to see they didn't follow the same old nasty relationship story route, that so many other movies do. You'll know it when you see it.
Totally completely hooked ... Tokyo Vice looks to be set for a long run.
Last time was on honeymoon in 1982, yen had gone stupid and a cup of coffee and toast in a 20th floor cafe was $20 US. Fortunately was on my suppliers dime.
Felt very similar to what we see on the show tho the sexuality was not as much on display tho I guess depends on where...certainly the hentai mags were everywhere in vending machines and news stands so I imagine the sex trade was alive and well as well.
The detective's car with the weird fender mirrors reminded me of driving...all cars had those mirrors and all cars had a chime that continued if you exceeded 100 kph on the highways so all the traffic moved in lockstep.
First time I'd driven outside my language AND on the opposite side of the road. Fortunately our cottage under Mt Fuji was rather easy to find as this rather large mountain made it easy to navigate to it. Just found a few photos from then last year.
Won't get back ..partner not interested tho daughter -in-law and partner go often ( he's a Qantas pilot and he's a high up Marriot exec = cheap vacays ).
Same trip we did Guangchou just before it all went boom and modernized ....in 82 it was like stepping back to 1940s/50s in Ontario if you went outside the "foreigners" city complex which was 80's modern tho not up to Hong Kong or Tokyo of the time.
Would love to see it now. Then there was no private businesses - all state stores and if you wanted a bar of soap you pointed to it under glass and a counter girl handed it to you and you paid at the counter.
That's just about what Woolworths was like in the early 50s in Canada.
It was a shock to go from futuristic Tokyo and Hong Kong to 1940s time stuck Guangchou in a couple of weeks and only 170 miles up river from Hong Kong. Had to hand in my calculator.....not allowed tech.
Tokyo Vice brought back a lot of memories.
Tokyo has changed a fair bit since I first went in early 70s when we could get a commercial hotel $69 a night beside the Imperial Palace.

Just watched "A Street Cat Named Bob". It's a well done show about a junkie who is found by a ginger cat, which ends up being his guiding light shall we say. It's a feel good movie about someone in the depths of hell to his eventual "rebirth" into the world.

A movie about Brandon Burlsworth - a shy, religious, overweight kid with dreams of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Time goes by, and he eventually makes it there, becoming an integral part of the team.
All about dedication, hard work and personal triumph. He became the best USA Division 1 walk-on football player in history, drafted into the NFL but sadly, never played a game.
