I got a T&A Gift Certificate for my birthday.

At first I was thrilled, but then I saw the logo in the upper right-corner... ????

What's this T&A malarkey, is it like C&A ladies bloomers?

This is ok, not brilliant & more of a family movie, but I quite enjoyed it.

 

There are two young ladies in it, who have decent legs. Look for the brief shot when one of 'em climbs a ladder. Nice. ????

 (o)(o) loved it! and being a short film, I actually watched it 4 times, so no need to pause/interrupt and repeat the 'nice' bits. Was more fun than a whole night watching the same Blazing Saddles again'n'again

Watched (again), "We were Soldiers" and enjoyed it.

 

I am watching some of the older movies as cannot seem to find much of interest in recent releases........am I missing some??

Nope! Watched that same move last weekend after watching Ken Burns "Vietnam War" doc.

Before that it was "Gorky Park"; "Harry Brown"; "Gettysburg."

"Condor S02" and "Perry Mason" were OK.

Watched "Rogue".....you missed nothing.

At the moment I'm going through Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan" movies.

And the Jack Ryan movies I should revisit.

Crime Beat  Canadian TV--A True crime series -------- Season 2 starts early Sept

Its probable that season 1 was covered by will27 or someone as it started in March this year. But if you want to view an episode of season 1 its around on pirates or full episodes on You-tube etc. Season 1 had 12 episodes & IMDB gave it 7.7

Pity they didn't turn more of Martin Cruz Smith's novels into films, they were extremely entertaining.

Tv Series - Pryatki AKA Hide and Seek

 

Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes of this one.

Reminds me a bit of Pustina, which was excellent.
The whole series is on TPB with hard-coded subs.

Summary: In an ordinary looking apartment, a father and daughter play a game of hide-and-seek. While searching for his daughter, she is nowhere to be found - Later, a video is posted which shows the girl holding a sign with a mysterious set of numbers. But what do they mean? She's the first of several children who disappear without a trace in a small industrial town.

This guy comes back to Thailand to revenge the death of some family members involved in a traffic accident.

I like seeing movies filmed in Thailand.  This one was just average I thought.

Excellent, well written and lovely location shots. Who could have put up with that bitch though for 29 years? The usual diversity casting quota but not too annoying.

Found an interesting movie from 2016 on netflix that I somehow had missed.

 

"Cure for Wellness", camerawork was great and the plot somewhat unique.

[steelepulse]

V for Vendetta.  Somehow I missed this until now.  It's quite an appropriate movie in this day and age with a virus and governments wanting to take control. Great movie if you haven't seen it, and worth seeing again if it' been a while since watching it.

Just got around to viewing  Mr Jones  --at last,     a Biographical thriller film set in the 30s..... His Question & journey was-- How can a country that is completely broke, suddenly afford to start spending Billions on buying aircraft, building hugh factories,  importing machinery, and paying for it all with cash. His answers were meet with skepticism in the west, but after meeting with George Orwell, became the reason for him to write Animal farm. --sorry if this has already been reviewed as I downloaded it early in the year----just can not be bothered to hunt back to see

 

I thought the film was well made & worth a look..

Just downloaded The Tudors in 1080, all 4 series. What a good story that Henry VIII was!

[sanuk711]

C.B.Strike.. Started a new series (3) yesterday. Private detective/thriller.....If you haven't seen the earlier ones , Pirates has them, they are only small 5 episodes on season 1 --3 on season 2.

Lots of fuss about it when it first came out and they discovered who the real author is...so I didn't get to watch them until last week.... Found they were very well made good acting etc.

Must have difficult for the main actor to get into movies with a hair Lip....

The Dark Shadow of Murder                             BBC Scotland  1/9/2020

 

Moira Jones was abducted yards from her home in Glasgow and forced into a nearby park, where she was raped and murdered.

As her family struggled to come to terms with their loss and the brutal nature of her death, her mother, Bea, started to write a diary.

More than a decade later, she has shared that journal with BBC Scotland and recorded her words for documentary.

A new series of All creatures great and small has started, just downloaded ep 1 ,loved the original and indeed have been watching it again ,was so worried that the new one would be rubbish ,but fear not ,its by channel 5 not the BBC so Farnon is not gay Herriot is not a person of colour  and the housekeeper is not a vegan . 

 its very good loved it .

[worgeordie]

As there is not a lot of new stuff out to watch, I have been looking at an

Italian crime series on BBC iPlayer, Inspector Montalbano and also the

Young Montalbano, the stories are very good,and been in Italian there

are some very good subtitles,and you can pick up a bit of Italian.

Ciao Worgeordie

CB Strike series 3 has started on BBC iplayer, Holliday Grainger is one of the best actresses of her generation, and the leading man having one leg and a hair lip with a black gf ticks a few boxes.  ???? Written by that Harry Potter woman.

Watched all episodes of Mindhunter. An excruciatingly slow series, that lives of its supposed real life details and it does stay true to the book in many areas. However, Ann Burgess, who is very much heterosexual with a husband and children and a nursing academic, was turned into a lesbian. You see this a lot now of course, we had South Park's Token, but now it's lesbians and gays that apparently have to be included in many series. Anyway, despite this peculiar violation of its real life credentials I stayed with Mindhunter, but wish I hadn't. A slow and bleak  series, avoid.

 

Now watching Cobra Kai, which is unbelievably stupid and poorly written. I should have learned my lesson when Will Smith's kid ruined one of the greatest films of the 80s, but could not resist a sequel to Karate Kid. It's really awful unfortunately.

 

You have been warned.

I started it as well. It's 80's nostalgia, at least first few that I've seen. Probably turns into some woke girlie thing later. 

 

One show I enjoy that's for some reason listed twice on Netflix is the Japanese Midnight Diner. It's a simple format that feels comforting, like sitting at the izakaya yourself. One episode every now and then.

Yah, absoutely Cobra Kai is woke central now, they've crossed off all the list, disabled kid with cleft lip, check, grossly obese black girl, check, Latino boy, check, nerds etc, when Karate Kid the original was a beautiful story and nothing like this. I'm curious why they're making Johnny Lawrence into a good guy so I will keep watching this.

 

That Japanese Midnight Diner sounds great, I will check that out, thanks.
