xylophone Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Went looking for some older western movies and came up with Hombre (Paul Newman), Tom Horn (Steve McQueen) and The Homesman (Tommy Lee Jones) and enjoyed them all. Also managed to watch Rillington Place (3 episodes) with Tim Roth and Samantha Morton.....Tim Roth plays the very creepy and unusual John Reginald Christie, however found the ending came up a bit short, but good overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post giddyup Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 10 hours ago, Will27 said: The Interrogation of Tony Martin Found this one on RARBG. Summary: The Interrogation of Tony Martin tells the story of what happened on the night in 1999 when Norfolk farmer Tony Martin confronted two burglars who broke into his farmhouse. Two males, 29-year-old Brendon Fearon and 16-year-old Fred Barras, had forced their way into Martin's home, intending to steal from him. Martin, who had been plagued by burglaries and had lost faith in the police, blasted his shotgun as the thieves attempted to flee through a window. But when teenager Barras was found dead the following day, Martin's actions divided public opinion. Really enjoyed this and I had to laugh, but agree with his (the real Tony Martin) "Bang" anecdote at the end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actor who played him is far better than he's given credit for. I saw him play a septic serial killer in an episode of inside number 9 a couple of week ago. He was on par with Hannibal Lecter re putting the fear of christ into an audience ???? Edited April 18, 2020 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Gulliver's travels with Ted Danson . Having not read the book my only encounters with the subject was as a child's fairy tail , from disney movies and the such. Instead I realised that the original was indeed a commentary on contemporary conventions. It is in two parts and it comes together at the last part where Dr Gulliver encounters The Yahoos and Houyhnhnms. All and all an enjoyable three hours.and a good way to spend social distancing.

Mine was gobsmacked by the scene in the railway carriage - I think from the first episode. She'd never seen anything like it, far too "tallung" for Thai tv.

Popular Post bluesofa Posted April 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2020 I've just finished watching The Nest (5 episodes. Shown a month or two back on BBC). A drama about a teenage girl in Glasgow who agrees to carry a baby for childless couple. It started off reasonably straightforward - or so we thought. As the story developed there were more and more twists regarding the surrogacy and the background of the surrogate mother. It was so gripping, I had to watch the last two episodes into the small hours last night. I thought it was a superb plot, great acting too. Definitely recommend it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xylophone Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Watched a documentary on ITV entitled, "Fishing for love: how to catch a Thai bride" and it was fascinating and at the same time disturbing after a fashion. One thing I didn't see much of in the whole doco was happiness and when it ended I couldn't get it out of my mind for a while. I won't go into too much detail here otherwise it might spoil it, but looking back on it made me feel a little morose. Check on the net where to see it or trawl through the itv shows (Storyville). Would love to see some feedback here............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
