Still, I am missing a good horror movie. Watched the Exorcist original the other night. But want some thing new and scary as sh1t. The Conjuring 2 was okay with the scary Nun. Japanese, Korean horror bores me. Anyone know of a good horror movie that will actually scare me. Too much silliness on The Grand Tour and too little about actual cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newatthis Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Just watched the first 2 episodes of "Sherlock" season 4. Not sure how I would rate this season so far. Maybe, far-fetched but compelling could be good verdict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank James Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Unforgotten, Season 2 I really enjoyed the first season of this fine show, and Season 2 looks like there will be no letdown in quality of acting or script. Nicola Walker is one of my favorite British actresses. She's got a great "careworn" face, and really cares about obtaining closure and justice in cold missing persons cases. There are so many recognizable actors here from other British "cop shows." Walker and Adeel Aktar were principal characters on "River," my favorite "police procedural", and young Joseph Altin, also from River, plays a very similar role here. Also in the cast are the guy who played the rat b------d police commissioner who did my darling Keely Hawes wrong in Line of Duty. Several other cast members also look very familiar, so I've been cross-reffing IMDB to see where I "know them" from. I'd really like to see the return of Stellan Skarsgard as River, but meanwhile he is fantastically good in the Norski film "In Order of Disappearance." That film is one of the best I've seen in quite a while. Anybody know when Line of Duty will return? These British police dramas are SO much better than the American ones! And it's great the way they wrap things up in 6 or 8 episodes, always leaving us hungry for more. TEN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank James Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Jay Leno's Garage (Youtube) I never cared much for the "Tonight Show," no matter who the host was. It was a tired concept, with the host sitting at a desk, interviewing an endless parade of celebrities, while a sychophantic 2nd banana spouted banalities from the sofa, occasionally rescuing the host if the guests proved too stupid. They kept this going for 50 years, with Jack Paar, Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, and Leno. After he retired, Leno was able to indulge his passion, collecting and restoring classic automobiles, motorcycles, and other mechanical oddities such as a working steam engine from the early 19th Century. His collection contains almost 200 cars, from every category. With a personal fortune estimated at over 300 million $$$, he has access to the best of the best, with a steady stream of owner/entusiasts appearing on the show with their unique rides. For a few years now he has shared his collection with us, the gearheads who never grew up. His knowledge of all things automotive is truly impressive, and he brings on guest experts to augment what little he doesn't know. The highlight of every show is Jay, having a ball test driving the vehicle out on the road. His enthusiasm is contagious. ""Yeah!", he says, putting the pedal to the metal, "she goes pretty good! Let's see if she'll do a burnout ! " It's a great show, in high rez on Youtube. Happy Motoring, with Jay! TEN, redlined to the max! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO one of the best motor shows there is, none of the silliness as on The Grand Tour, it's all about the cars.

Encid Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) On 16/12/2016 at 7:52 PM, Frank James said: Shut Eye If I don't care for a series or a film, I usually won't bother writing about it. However...Shut Eye, from Hulu is a special case. I watched all ten episodes because the writing seemed fresh and original, and I had hopes that at least one of the main players might do a moral turnaround. That didn't happen. Give it credit in having just enough suspenseful twists to hold my interest. This show is as close to pornography as anything I've ever seen on "premium cable." The only thing missing was an appearance by Porno SuperStar Ron Jeremy, but I guess he's now too old for such work. At least, with his dark looks, he might pass as Roma, unlike most of the actors on this show, particularly Isabella Rossellini as the GodMom of the Marks Clan. Ridiculous. The depiction of the Roma community (once called 'gypsies') is unflattering, to say the least. I'm sure that community, which has battled oppression everywhere, will be mightily offended by their portrayal here. If you're looking for lots of ultra-violence, gratuitous sex, and non-stop cons and double crosses, this might be for you. I didn't save it for a second viewing, and won't be waiting for its sequel. SIX Sounds like something I'd like. But I can't find it on any of my usual sources. Any hints as to where I could find this? /Edit: I just found it on extraT.cc Edited January 11, 2017 by Encid additional comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are a couple of features that are really weak, like the dead guests. I think the show was wonderful but I am afraid it is running out of gas. I have seen 3 episodes, I will endevour to watch the whole season, but it is almost a pity date at this point.

BookMan Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 3 new 'true stories' sports movies available. Best of the bunch is Queen of Katwe. About a Ugandan girl from the slums who becomes Uganda's first chess Master. It's a good watch in it's predictability. At the end you see the actors next to the real life protaganistsDangal. About an ex Indian Wrestling champion who trains his daughters to become champions themselves, t=with one of them going on to win Commonwealth games gold. My copy was in Hindi with subtitles borrowed form a second site. I believe there is a dubbed version available somewhere.Greater. The worst of the 3. About an American football player who..ZZZzzzzzzzz... blah blah blah... messages about God...something about maybe dying... Yawn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very funny.With the odds against him, underdog supreme, ultra-local here Donnie Dumphy enters a mini-bike competition to win back his girl and totally shag-up a bunch of bad guys. On the eve of the biggest dirt bike competition of the year, working class hero and utterly ‘unique human’ Donnie Dumphy cashes his welfare cheque, tours the sketchiest regions of town, loses the love of his life Brenda, has tea with his Nan, eats fish n’ chips, almost drowns, performs his trademark gibberish rap at the biggest party in town and sleeps with his social worker. ‘How To Be Deadly’ is a hero’s journey with a Newfoundland twist, because on the east coast, you’re only as good as your last story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
