Patsycat Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Just watched the first episode of Ray Donovan, quite good. Downloading the next few episodes for my night time viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger007 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Just finished watching season 3 of Game of Thrones. I was holding off until I had all the episodes (then I went offshore). Mate just brought them out so watched the whole thing in about 3 days. I completely missed this series when it first came out, Watched the first episode & was hooked, downloaded every series since. As someone mentioned before there were some very shocking scenes towards the end of the last series. Cant wait for the next series this autumn along with Downton Abbey. One movie I stumbled across was "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" - full of well known stars such as Judi dench, maggie smith, bill nighy, tom wilkinson but probably more for UK folk than international consumption, well acted and quite sentimental. An idiot abroad has been mentioned but my cynical nature doesn't fall for the hype. This so-called doco is completely scripted. Karl Pilkington, mate of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant is obviously acting out his part as an buffoon to perfection. Their disclaimer I take with a pinch of salt, "It was confirmed by the show's producers that Pilkington has no prior warning about these situations" Off course he didn't . Cheers hope this thread keeps going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fall back series for me, that is, it just filled in until the good show started up again... I'll give it a crack and see how it pans out...

Ulysses G. Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Sons of Anarchy is still one of my favorites and I am enjoying Under the Dome, although you might have to like sci-fi to appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JemJem Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I have just recently finished season 7 of 'Dexter' on DVD. I started watching this series a bit too late (started it only at the beginning of this year). I have the complete 'The Office' on DVD waiting for me now (both the American and British ones) It's been YEARS since, especially the British one ended, but, oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a quirky comedy movie full of ageing British actors try "Cockneys Vs Zombies" Almost all the old Brits, still alive are in it. Honor Blackman, Richard Briars, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 It was the GFs choice of movie at the cinema today. She picked Now You See Me. This was a fun movie, better than I expected. It moves along quickly and has plenty of action. An easy watch with some popcorn. I did not see the twist at the end coming. As they say in the movie, 'magic is all about misdirection'!

lomatopo Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Still loving "Ray Donovan"; Jon Voight, Elliot Gould and now, James Woods as the "Whitey Bulger" stand-in. "Low Winter Sun" premiered last night on AMC, Mark Strong is a great actor so looking forward to this one. "Breaking Bad"'s final bow premier last night was pretty good. "Goodbye Mr. Chips, Hello Tony Montana". "Maybe your best course would be to tread lightly". I'm not expecting "Don't Stop Believin'" to be playing at the end of this one, as Junior tries parallel parking his Charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keemapoot Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 ^Yup, it's gonna be a great series-ending seasons for both Dexter and Breaking Bad, two of the best series ever created for TV. Dexter has taken some good turns already after a few episodes, and I did enjoy the first episode of BB. Going to be a long month+ wait for Homeland to start up again, but another of my favorites. Sons of Anarchy starts in a month, and it's pretty good, though the lead actor Hunnam is pretty one-dimensional. Katey Sagal is excellent as his mother. Justified was pretty good, waiting for next season, and the first season of Hannibal is worth watching to see how it develops, though it's hard to picture anyone other than Anthony Hopkins in that role.

BookMan Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Agree with the two posts above. Breaking Bad looking good this second half of the last season. There has already been an indication where it is heading and it all seems good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the model pose she gave. It looked a little odd...sort of standing half turned, leg cocked. My GF looked at me and said exactly what I was thinking. "Why she stand like that?"

Dean Norris stars in both Breaking Bad and Under The Dome as one of the regular central characters. He's the bald headed guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
