Widows - a revenge/heist flick with women driving the action. Good cast; good story. By the same director as 12 Years a Slave.

Will be seeing this Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to this for awhile.

I've been watching The Westerner, a Brian Keith TV series from 1960, on Youtube.

Jackie Brown

While I don’t care much for Tarantino, this one gets better with each viewing.
Perhaps because Elmore Leonard’s crime novel Rum Punch keeps QT’s directorial excesses to a minimum.

Fine ensemble acting with Robert Forster, Pam Grier, Samuel L Jackson, Robert De Niro, Michael Keaton Bridget Fonda and Chris Tucker.

Caution: Salty script.

Freaking Widows! Staggeringly great heist film. I will be pissed if this doesn't bombs at the movie theater (as I also suspect it deservedly will do well Oscar season... especially for a genre picture).

Mark my words! Viola Davis will get a lead nomination for this one next year.

It's not perfect but come on! It deserves your eyeballs!
Just note that the trailer is a tad deceiving. It's more of a slowburner than depicted.

True Detective #2 made people not clamor for True Detective #3, but lightening can strike twice.

I decided to rewatch 1&2 in anticipation of 3, which is due soonish...and stars Mahershala Ali...and holds my interest.

#1 was an amazing tour de force that I’m glad to be reacquainted with.

Alright, alright, alright.

@tsarstepan,

We watched Bohemian Rhapsody last night. I've always been blown away by the creative process, and I think the film does a great job highlighting the talent and innovation of the band. It might be a little schmaltzy in parts but not enough to make me groan. We like it quite a bit.

@Lash,

The first season was outstanding. The second mediocre.

Agreed. Season 3 earned high marks from my kid, but he says it was a close copy of Season 1. I haven’t finished it yet. It’s sort of a wonder - why Season 2 didn’t work. Incredible cast. Same direction / production team, if I’m not mistaken. Interesting story. Just don’t know what happened.

I’m very hopeful for another iteration of The Twilight Zone, coming soon to Netflix, I think. Jordan Peele has a hand in it.

I'm currently watching old Doctor Whos on DVD. Loving it.

I bought the DVD of The Monuments Men, watched about 15 minutes of it and turned it off. It was that bad. If anybody has anything good to say about it I'll give it another chance.

@izzythepush,

I could never get into the old Doctor Who series, but love some of the newer ones. What am I doing wrong? Is it worthwhile making an effort to watch them?

I honestly don't know. I was brought up with it. Patrick Troughton was my Doctor, and when I was a kid it was my favourite TV programme by a long way.

Because I was very little when I first saw them they're all new. Watching Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell episodes.

I really love them so of course I'd say they're worth watching.

Can't say anything good about the forgettable film (which got a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes). But I ... for some reason rated an 8/10 on IMDb. Too much wine when I rated it?

I’m having the most fun with The Thick of It, the most hilariously profane political comedy. They parlayed the series into a movie that I saw first - In the Loop.

Peter Capaldi cracks me up.

Unfortunately the first series is pretty much shelved down to Chris Langham being a paedophile.

@izzythepush,

He was a hilarious straight man.

@Lash,

He was very good in lots of stuff that's why it was such a shock to find out what he'd been up to.

I can't watch anything with him in now, it's all I think about when I see him.

@coluber2001,

Monuments Men was written, directed and produced by George Clooney.

Mmmm. Maybe that’s the problem.
A vanity project.
It was awful.
