BookMan Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Legit New half hour US comedy i just came across. Premiered start of 2013 (13 eps) and now into second season Pushes a lot of boundaries and has some very funny moments. Starts slow (pilot ep) but builds nicely from episode 4 and the series goes up and up from here. Centres around Jim Jeffries, playing himself as an Australian comedian living in the US and his living with two brothers/friends, one who has Muscular Dystrophy. 7.5/10 from me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Watched a couple of movies with the wife over the weekend... Delivery Man: If this were to ever happen in real life, holy f***... Pretty funny really, Vince Vaughn plays a meat delivery driver who also moonlights as a manual labourer for a Sperm Bank. Movie travels along the lines of the donor kids wanting to find out who their biological father is. I'll give it a 7/10. Reasonable Doubt: I'm really not a fan of Samuel L playing bad guys, he does it well (granted) but it doesn't suit him. Well this one plodded along, not much to it really, some decent thought processes but overall a little predictable, 5/10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler1973 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Killer Women Centers on Molly Parker, one of only two women in the notoriously male Texas Rangers, a ballsy, beautiful badass who knows how to get to the truth and isn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers on her way there. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2657258/ Six episodes so far. Nothing serious, just some shoot em up and catch the baddies 6 episodes is all you're gonna get Was supposed to be 8, shortened to 6 due to poor ratings and I believe it's been cancelled now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler1973 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think I am gonna give this Resurrection a go, only 8 part series about people long since dead found alive, unaged.

Edit: There does seem to be some confusion about it being an adaptation of the French series...Initially I thought it must be too This series however, Resurrection, is not an adaptation of the French show, even though it's strikingly similar. No, Resurrection - from Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment - is based on a book called The Returned, about a young boy named Jacob who returns home 30 years after his tragic death (hence the name of the first episode). So those tuning in to this new network show expecting to see an American adaptation of the Sundance series will be in for a bit of a letdown. Both because Resurrection contains no parallel characters and because it's just flat-out not as good. http://au.ign.com/articles/2014/03/08/resurrection-the-returned-review Edited March 10, 2014 by BookMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 One episode into the new season of House of Cards, good as I was hoping for. I guess this sets the scene for the rest of my weekend....wife hates Netflix lol 2nd season of the House of Cards remake with Kevin Spacey is out on netflicks. You can download the entire new season on piratebay now. Looking forward to this one! First series was terrific viewing. On a comparitive basis I liked series 1 more than the original British 1990s version Just finished a marathon of the first 7 episodes. Excellent as usual. I still love the original version, but Kevin Spacey is exceptional and this series is first class in every way, from writing to production values. bajebus! Just started watching season 2. Episode 1 was excellent. Could be a viewing marathon coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yep House of Cards Season 2 has lost nothing in quality from season 1 methinks. A bit like The Newsroom which is just sensational. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1870479/?ref_=nv_sr_1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patsycat Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Enjoying Rectify at the moment. A bit slow, but you get to sympathise with the characters. True Detective, well? Not much to add to other comments. Now, a wee bit of good British crime. I am loving DCI Banks. With the guy who was the priest in Ballykissangel. Good story lines etc. A bit of history - I was watching Ballykissangel when the first plane hit the Twin Towers... Hells Kitchen starts again this week!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, a bit slow to start with but it's a good watch. DCI Banks for me is another 101 English crime show. Not great, but not bad. A bit how I rate Luther. You might like Love/Hate which was recommended on here. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=love+hate&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Alove+hate It's an Irish crime series set in Dublin. Have just finished series 4 and it's a cracker. I am half way through The Great Train Robbery which also is really good. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Train-Robbery-DVD/dp/B00EO0L6XC/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1394585308&sr=1-1&keywords=the+great+train+robbery To be hones, I like most things done by the BBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So whats the verdict on the appearance of "Bishop", the new female member for NCIS ? Opinions ? Also, The Following is starting to become quite annoying, draggin it on and on, think they could have just done one good series, not try to drag it into two which is now seriously starting to annoy me with its predictability.

Bishop? Better if she was single, like the nerd angle though but no replacement for Ziva The Following: no way dude, Hardy's now asking for backup, his neice is a hotty and Weston's going rogue! Joe needs to get rid of that whiney tart Emma for this series to continue Be good to see that Lilly Grey side cult storyline develop as well, she's a bit of a nutter but gave it an added element of je ne sais quoi...
