american crime sort of meanders and you wonder where its heading but good enuf to keep you interested but so dark to dark tbh.

Dark? Really? You must be watching a different "American Crime" than I am... It's a pretty standard well trodden storyline... The junkies angle might get interesting mixed with the religion angle...

I believe you are confusing "dark" (or in cinematic terms "noir") with "drama". AC is definitely not dark or noir - it is firmly a drama.

I mentioned a series once before called inside no 9,it's now on series 2 and I just watched episode 2,I am rarely very moved by anything being an old cynic,but this at the end gave me goose bumps, maybe the best short story I have watched for a long long time,,give it a try

[Ayutthaya11]

Started watching it again and as stated in my last post, if anyone hasn't seen it before "life on Mars" (UK version) I suggest you watch it and if you're American I also suggest you use subtitles

[uptheos]

Gave up on T.V shows after lost, life on Mars and Breaking bad. Didn't think anything could top them.... Going through watching prison movies at the moment. Just watched Midnight express.. Again.

Try "Better call Saul"

Couldn't warm to it and after 3 episodes kicked it into touch.

Life on Mars excellent as was the movie Midnight Express.

It seems that when I download old TV shows from Youtube, I am only going to get a small 4''x 4'' on my computer screen.

It is so annoying and I'm missing a lot now, if people can't upload full screen shows, they should not bother uploading at all.

At present, I am on the 8th season watching the old Perry Mason series, I don't remember them as a kid.

I cannot get a lot of series 7 and 8 as the playback shows deformed heads. Those uploaders really need to get a

grip of themselves. Idiots.

i think your confusing genre with my opinion on content.

Great UK series about the last group of conscripted soldiers in the UK in 1960; called "Privates".

Saw the first episode of season 7 of Nurse Jackie. While some people might not like the show I must admit that I really enjoyed it over all 6 seasons (even with Edie Falco with short hair, but I guess they had to do that, so she was not perceived as Ms. Soprano). Now with season 7 the mess continues and I find it great.

"Flawed characters" are very fancy these days but what they did with Nurse Jackie is way beyond "flawed". Now she is so messed up that I do not feel for her anymore, but more for the characters around her who constantly suffer from her lying and cheating. She will probably drag down some people into the gutter she obviously wants to live in. And even if she somehow manages to stage a comeback, her means will probably be anything but honest and serious. Looking forward to it!

It's snuggle-time! The Dove-Keepers is the story of the Masada Siege through the eyes of the two surviving women. I made it through the first half of the first part (a CBS two-part film). It is amazing how much time these women had for romance and adultery in a rather shitty (sorry) environment. Very few battle scenes. The 10th Legion looked good, though. I vaguely remember the film from the 80s with Peter O'Toole. I think that would be a decent alternative to this TV-romance.

Season 7!

I watched the first season and a bit and lost interest. I might give it another go

[jope]

And another mild disappointment (I did not really expect something convincing): Olympus on SyFy. Obviously catering to an age group I do not belong to anymore. Greek mythology theme. Everything is filmed in a studio, the rest is computer graphics. Sort of a "Once Upon a Time" but with more blood and brutality.

yeah a reasonable watch, another couple of recent ish movies that may have slipped under the radar but imo worth a watch is 'The Drop' and 'a most violent year' both as i've said imo worth watching.

Other than the archive footage in the first few mins that was filmed from the likes of divis tower I found this had no resemblance whatsoever to Belfast or the British Army cira 1971. I tried to watch it a month ago but gave up after 30 mins. Absolutley everything was wrong, the makers screwed up big time on this one. Edited April 5, 2015 by evadgib

Well all movies made about the past are usually 100% correct we know because the film makers are out to educate us about the past their are not there to entertain us are they? lighten up its a movie.

That's a largely forgotten gem of a film starring Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser (his best work IMO).

Good film for SE Asia & Vietnam film buffs.

My point related to historical accurracy & watchability. When it first came out I was expecting something that offerred a buildup to operation Motorman, internment or bloody Sunday. Edited April 5, 2015 by evadgib

seemed v watchable to me historically accurate?, its a film, primarily made to entertain us and for me it did, interesting how they cast it, remember listening to an interview with the director he cast some local 'non actors' i believe.

I think American Odyssey started off acceptably. The plot is not uncommon: very, very evil US company (financing islamist terrorists) is fought by very, very pure and idealistic individuals. A bit simplistic, but if they do not go too cliche, it might be a good show. The action scenes are alright IMHO. And that a boy in the middle of nowhere in West Africa speaks fluently English does not need to be explained because that saves us the irritating sub-titles. I will continue watching...for now.

the other thing to remember is recreating the past gets expensive,, this was a low budget film

If I was Don Draper, I would definitely do the same things that he does (and more, but with fewer emotions). Obviously the second half of the final season of Mad Men has started and like before, no really spectacular things happen but everything is executed so well that I don't want to stop watching. I really do hope that they find a happy ending for the characters. I particularly do not want Draper to be disassembled until he looks like a total looser. Nowadays, I am afraid that something like that could actually happen on TV. Well, currently he is on top of his game (the diner!), please, let him stay that way.

Tv Series - The Red Road

This is a six part series and I'm half way through it.

Really enjyoing it so far.

Season 2 is being released later this month.

IMDB: Revolves around a sheriff struggling to keep his family together while simultaneously policing two clashing communities:

the small town where he grew up and the neighboring Ramapo Mountains, home of the Ramapo Mountain Indians.

After a terrible tragedy and coverup occurs involving the sheriff's wife, an unholy alliance is forged between the sheriff

and a dangerous member of the tribe that will come back to haunt all involved.

I'm 2 episodes in and I think I've found one here gang.

Not to be confused with the US series starring Dylan McDermott, this one is from Israel.

IMDB: The night before a high profile operation on the PM, the surgeon due to perform the procedure is surprised

at her family home by four masked men. The gang quickly take control of her and her family and order her to kill the PM.

watched 4 episodes and didn't want to watch any more

[rijit]

after seeing it had a decent rotten tomatoe score and a decent imdb score Unfortunately I watched keanu Reeves latest 'john wick ' which

about summed up all thats f--cked up with Hollywood film.

and later watched 'incendies ' for the 2 nd time . and IMO this showed t a lot of things that are good about cinema!!!!, , After their mother dies, to fulfill the her wish's, a brother and sister go bac to her homeland and uncover some of her past, IMO an excellent film. Well worth watching even on the second time around.
