Not at all impressed with Westworld season 2.  Season 1 was pretty good but season 2 just draaaaaaaaaaaags on and on IMO. The endless flashbacks coupled with the dreary and overly long 'deep and meani

Just watched episode 2 of The Knick. The quality continues. Period correctness and a fine script. A visit in another time and place.

We're almost at the end of the confusing world of The Honourable Woman. I think Maggie G has broken down in tears in every episode. When she's not actually crying, she's snuffling back the tears, either having just now cried, or about to cry again. What a mess. Still, I can't turn away, because I addicted to Stephen Rea's act. They should cast him as George Smiley in the next LeCarre remake. Gary Oldman is a fine actor, but he was unconvincing as the great Smiley. To his credit, following Alec Guinness is a daunting task. Actually, S. Rea is too small and slight. He would be better cast in an expanded role of "Control."

Just don't dare try to remake "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold", or "Smiley's People." PLEASE! Try something frsh, like "The Looking Glass War", or "A Small Town in Germany."

I love my war movies! I also like Brad Pitt in many of his roles. Hoping this is a good one.

Well then, American Sniper which is due for release on Christmas day

might be right up your alley.

Stars Bradley Cooper and directed by Clint Eastwood which is never a bad thing IMO.

Thanks for the heads up KhunWill. You have a very kind heart for such a handsome man.

I loved Clint's work on Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima.

Morning all...

Pretty mundane weekend of viewing unless sports is your thing; of which I indulged - some might say binged - in quite a large amount...

Managed to watch with the family yesterday "Need for Speed" - on first glance, I thought this was going to be a total rehash of the "Fast & Furious" franchise and it was part of the reason why I hadn't watched it. I wasn't disappointed in that assumption, way to close to the F&F for me. The only bit I liked was Imagine Poots' character. Just kept me in for that little bit longer. Everything else, total rip off of F&F.

Speaking of english actors (speaking in native accents) You're the Worst is bloody good watching!

Here's a couple of movies I thought I'd bung on over the next week or so...

Brick Mansion: Probably one of Paul Walker's last movies (actually, his penultimate movie with F&F 7 currently in post production). Lots of action with a lot of that parkour stuff going on. Looks quite good. RZA is getting around nowadays and is quite the actor enjoy his character in Gang Related.

Almost Married: Looks like a bit of a lads movie. Need one of these once in awhile...

Didn't really disappoint this one, a lot of similarities to the F&F franchise without the fast cars. Of special note: Catalina Denis w00t.gif Yum yum yum... IMDB is giving it a 5.8, I'm going with a solid 7. The extra 1.2 is going to a particular fight scene ;)

So I stuck through the second season of Rogue... That was quite possibly the shittiest season of any series I've watched, especially one that showed great promise in the first. It took the very last episode to go "right, finally, we're getting somewhere"

Apparently it's due for a third season next year, if it continues where it left off, it could be quite good. If forms any kind of barometer then.. I'm afraid.. The show's <deleted>..

Ray Donovan seems beset by even more "situations" than in the first series. He's handling things as they come up, but not quite with the same self-assured swaggering ease as before. The brothers, Mickey, Abby, the kids, Ezra, the bookkeeper, all on top of the non-family "fixing" he gets paid for. It's a wonder he doesn't flip out and kill somebody over something trivial. Heading for a BIG season ender.

Like somebody else said, I only watch Tyrant to check out Jamal's wife and daughter-in-law. Bassam/Barry's wife and family need to go back to LA and stay there. And what function does Barry's sister-in-law serve? She can't be a shallow as she lets on. I smell C I A.

My online bride..haven't seen it but I will check it out.

There is a thread been started about it here:

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/752593-my-online-bride/

Good to see you taking one for the team khun BM, hopefully this will put you on the path to hansum man with good heart status...

Thanks Khun GS. I aspire to be on the same elevated status as KhunWill

This doco covers Thailand and Ukraine dating. Overall it is just okay. More titillation than substance. The female doco maker seems to see foreign bride dating as against the grain this shines through, unfortunately..

Watch it from the 37 minute mark for one of the Thai stories (the break up). Continue that story at the 45 minute mark.

That guy (Chris) dodged a bullet. Like a ThaiVisa posters warning!

Use Hola set to UK to watch

For those of you who haven't gotten on Tyrant yet, if you love high foreign political intrigue, familial deceit, and a terribly sexy middle eastern M.I.L.F, you really need to check it out, it's getting great.

*edited because the TVF software deleted the reference to Milfys.

Just watched the first season of Longmire. If you like modern day sheriff in small western town in the US type action series. Not bad, decent story line but a bit funny hearing Lou Diamond Phillips speak like Tonto.

I just found out Suits is SIXTEEN EPISODES this season. Why didn't you tell me? I was getting Separation Anxiety! I was thinking it was about over, due to the resolution of a couple of major situations. But NO! More Emmy Level Acting by Rachel! Litt UP! More Donna! More of the usual jiving about Mike's Secret. More Evil Eric Roberts! Maybe another villain coming on! I put on my favorite Eight Track Quadraphonic Number One With a Bullet Hit Mix Tape to tell the world how this makes me FEEL! Ladies and Genn'lmen, put your hands together for The Pointer Sisters!
