After you watch IPS you might like to read up on the bloke in real life, particularly his last few days.

In Plain Sight was another brilliant television series. Out of the two Rillington place and IPS, I would say the John Christie character was more interesting to watch. The Peter Manuel chap was just a psycho madman but Christie was quiet and cunning. No, the BBC won this contest, Rillington Place was just magical. In a horrifying way, serial killers are of course the scum of the earth.

A psycho madman that managed to elude the police for years.

Surprised no one has mentioned The Young Pope yet…..was the best series of the year for me.

Have shied away from it, because quite honestly, I wasn't up for any religious claptrap, but after reading the reviews I'm prepared to give it a try. Season 1 download in progress.

So I gathered after reading the reviews. Note to self: Never judge a series, movie or book by the title.

Estocolmo, an Argentenian Netflix series, now available full season with hardcoded subs from Sno

 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6102418/

 

An undercover agent, a prosecutor, and a journalist try to bring down a human trafficking ring, but nothing is as straightforward as it seems.

A pretty good start to this one BookMan.

 

Couldn't find a trailer with subs.

 

 

Tv Series - Ransom

 

This one just didn't do it for me.
Didn't make it through the first 15 minutes episode.

IMDB: Ransom is inspired by the professional experiences of crisis negotiator Laurent Combalbert who with his partner,
Marwan Mery, are among the top negotiators in the world.

 

 

+1 for Estocolmo.

Will update in a few days.

The Hollow Point. O.K. to watch over dinner,nothing special though. On Putlocker.

None, as I have Truevision and it's all third rate garbage.

Excellent stuff

A new series has just started The Halcyon , a sort of more updated Downton Abbey , ep 1 in the usual places .

Tv series - Thailand: Earth's Tropical Paradise

 

A great start to this 3 part series from the Beeb.

 

It's easy to forget how beautiful Thailand is.

Stunning photography.

Season one - With Subs -

https://thepiratebay.org/search/estocolmo/0/99/0

Just re-watched Absolute Power from 1997, with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Richard Harris, Judy Davis, Laura Linney and Scott Glenn. Stands the test of time very well.

American Honey

 

I should have known better than to invest any time or attention to any film starring Shy-a LaBeef, one of the very worst of the overrated young actors today. This picture is mentioned in nearly every noted film critics' "Ten Best Films of 2016."  Why? WHY?

 

 I can't imagine what must have been said to obtain financing for this utter mess. Two and a half hours worth of vulgar nothingness, featuring endless scenes inside a van of lowlife castoff kids uttering nonsense, singing along with bad "music", hanging out at bad motels, drinking, toking, etc.

 

I can't believe there was any sort of a script for this, except perhaps in some scenes featuring the principal characters. It all added up, for me as a possible

 

THREE, being generous.

13th 2016

I thought the Criminal Justice system in the USA was bad, but after watching this ...

5% of the worlds population,  25% of the worlds population incarcerated.

Big Business.

I can't remember you ever giving a three FrankJ.

I fast forwarded the movie and didnt bother with the end.

 

Episode one of Thailand: Earths Tropical Paradise was excellent when viewed this evening :)

If you missed this documentary first time around, the BBC are replaying 'The Joy of Abba'

 

May be total bubblegum, but I still love 'em after all these years...

agree. i cant help feeling there was a good film here but what they made was just boring and seemingly pointless - i ended up fast forwarding through it, something i very very rarely do. i dont understand the critical adulation it received.

The Grand Tour is free on123Movies, someone asked where.

Just watched the Accountant and The Girl with the Gifts. Both outstanding movies. My favourite being the Accountant. Probably the best film Ben Affleck has done since Gone Girl (2014).
