To whoever mentioned it, thanks for "Papillion".

Suddenly any hardship I have ever lived look like a walk in the park.  

 

 

I downloaded and watched the original about 6 months ago and it is still a great movie, so may give this one a go next. Thanks.

Watched "Scary stories to tell in the dark" yesterday.
Solid horror movie with young and well-performing actors.

'Still Human' is nice little cantonese film about the relationship between a paralysed

pensioner and his live-in maid. Not bad at all.

 

Netflix has a new spanish series called Victim No 8...1st 2 episodes were pretty good.

Please let me know how it measure up to the original. I haven't seen the 1973 version but truly enjoyed the 2017 remake.

Anyone watched Pond Life? I couldn't get on with it, dunno why, as it's a decent story, with quite good acting.

 

Samantha Morton's daughter is in it, & looks quite like her mother did, ie very appealing.

Tv series Brassic

 

Really enjoyed episode 1.
All 6 are out there.

Summary: A six-part comedy series set in Lancashire about the lives of Vinnie and Dylan, whom have grown up together and are inseparable.  When Dylan's girlfriend want to move in search of a better life for her and her child, Dylan must face the hardest decision of his life.

Thanks Will,

Watched the trailer and d/l the series already. Just skimmed through to check it d/l OK. Looks good, although I trust your judgement from stuff you've posted about before. Cheers.

i am reluctant to say this but for the last year or so I have really enjoyed watching many chinese made movies, mainly dubbed or with english subtitles, find them more  deeply interesting than usa flicks.  Many great war related ones, as well as period dramas. and of course some martial arts ones with historical significance.  Unfortunately, some have been taken  off youtube due to copywright probs.   Many of the soundtracks for these are very good listening.

Why reluctant? A good movie is a good movie.

Last Chance Lawyer NYC 

Broadcast on: BBC Two -- Original Air Date - 07 Oct 2018

Following the exploits of Howard Greenberg, a man who practises criminal law like you have never seen it before. From his office in Brooklyn, Howard wages 'war' against the government. He believes that the state is out to screw over its citizens and that the power of advocacy can, in his expert hands, save his clients from this tyranny.

Howard will go to any lengths to preserve the liberty of the people he represents. From helping convince a client to take a plea deal, dreaming up a fictitious courtroom diary clash to keep a defendant out of prison, or changing his trousers in the street outside the Supreme Court, it is all part of the style and strategy that goes with Howard's mantra - 'winning isn't everything, it's the only thing'.

Watched it tonight and enjoyed it...........but IMO you will now have to watch the original as in many respects "it is a different movie" and Steve McQueen is outstanding, and Dustin Hoffman's character is a "ratso-esque" (a la Midnight Cowboy) persona; both great acting parts.

 

Then let me know what you think!!

Perhaps the lady of colour is there to keep it accurate.

You must remember that shows that appeal to you, may not appeal to others.

Gee whiz, I'm sorry.

It wasn't meant to offend you.

Bloody hell. This forum's becoming more antagonistic than the Visa Forum.

If it doesn't appeal to you, then just ignore it.
