Popular Post JimmyJ Posted January 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Recently discovered British writer/director (and actress) Andrea Arnold. Saw an early short she wrote and directed "Wasp" (2003) which won the Academy Award for Dramatic Short, and is excellent. Her first feature "Red Road" (2006) is absorbing and has some excellent acting (as do all of her films) but the theme kept reminding me of the Dardenne brothers film "Le Fils" ("The Son"/ 2002) which is a masterpiece and outdoes her film. Then saw her 2nd feature "Fish Tank" (2009), which is terrific: All this came about because she has a new film "American Honey" which I read mixed comments about but she sounded like an interesting filmmaker and I decided to see what she'd done previously before I watched that (which I still haven't).

But not like the above 2 which I eagerly await when they're in season. Shark Tank I watch when I come across it, and also have downloaded past seasons to catch up on it but watch these occasionally. Shows I have on in the background when working on the computer include: "Couples Therapy" had one great season - it had Joe "Girls Gone Wild" Francis and gf; a young male gay porn performer who claimed to be straight (natch) and gf; the nicest couple from "Teen Mom" (another "background" show) whose names I don't know (the thin guy with dad just out of jail); a total space cadet female porn star and boyfriend; a lesbian couple who were constantly overstressed; Lindsay Lohan's divorced parents which includes a nutjob father (he guested on the Howard Stern show a few times - bigly wacko); and Flava Flav with gf or wife: Flav on the right With a crew like that (close to a Dream Team), was undoubtedly one of the cultural events of the century...

Outstanding and possibly one of the most brutal and realistic (anti) war movies I have ever seen. Can't recommend it highly enough. The extraordinary true story of conscientious objector Desmond T. Doss who saved 75 men in Okinawa, during the bloodiest battle of WWII, without firing a single shot. Yes, I can agree. Watched it last night, very good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post newatthis Posted January 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2017 On 1/10/2017 at 2:36 PM, Frank James said: 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 Thanks for recommending this show. I started watching Season 1 last night. It is an addictive show. The lead actress, Nicola Walker, was also good in "Spooks: MI5" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
