Daffy I like Lesley sharp a lot--she always acts like she is on Valium, but thats been her style of acting , but this plot seems so thin--- Do you think that you could share a prison cell with a guy for 18 months , be friends with him, but he doesn't know you speak his native language, so when he gets you  a job where their all talking about big drug deals going down around him in Croatian language and saying --don't have to worry about him, he only speaks English.

 

...Wow Even the Bar girls are more wary than that.....LOL

 

.

I too Like Lesley Sharp, she was the reason I started to watch even after the bad review from IMBD.

 

Your comments do have some merit but remember it's a show for entertainment and got to give it some artistic license.

 

As for the kid didn't he say "they don't realise I know Croatian so they talk about their deals around me, thinking I don't understand" or something like that.

 

That's why he is useful on the inside. 

 

Anyway a pretty good show whatever the flaws.

Netflix "The Serpent" is about a killer in Thailand killing and robbing backpackers. Based on true story.

[Andrew Dwyer]

“ 1971: the year that music changed everything “

 

Available on Apple TV, fmovies and probably elsewhere .

I'm watching "Hand of God".

 

Not a docu on Maradonna vs England, but an excellent TV series about a judge in LA who lives through murder, son's suicide, hallucinations and...well, you gotta see it. It's very good.

I've watched S01 & S02 and I agree its pretty good. Worth a look IMHO.

@Will27 @sanuk711Thanks for your feedback - basically am not missing anything. 
I’m always really confused when I read the AV forum why put so much effort into getting the right VPN, I guess the answer is sport.

Sorry, a little bit off topic, but choosing a VPN is not just about the ability to access particular content. One very important factor when choosing a provider is the location of that provider. IMHO it is better to choose a provider who is outside the "14 eyes" alliance and thus will be less vulnerable to government scrutiny.

NordVPN is one such provider with it's HQ in Panama.

Some useful info here:

Apologies if I am "teaching my granny to suck eggs" here.

Didn't know about the "eyes", that was very interesting.

 

Amazes me that some people think that Snowden is a traitor.

 

Back on topic...????

 

To Catch A Smuggler

 

Couple of series about US customs et al, catching Smugglers - who'd have guessed...????

 

It's ok, fairly predictable, but I always enjoy someone getting busted with Class A's.

 

Seeders are a bit low in many torrents though.

What am I watching?  Nothing as far as TV or anything new.    I lived in Loei province for a couple years 43 years ago and I doubt anything has gotten more exciting.  Though paint may dry faster nowadays due to global warming. I could do without the video calls we get from relatives these days.

I think as we get old - & hopefully wiser ????, we've watched most of the movies/TV shows, & so often the stuff these days is just a rehash.

 

Aren't there supposed to be only 7 stories in the world, y'know 'Rags to Ritches', 'fighting the monster' etc?

 

But as mentioned earlier, it's the Director who really makes a difference, to sometimes a most time worn plot.

Well, I rather like Monty Python and the like.  Reginald Perrin, that sort of stuff. 

[petermik]

The Typist...well worth watching IMHO.

Decided to watch The Matrix again last night and enjoyed it......and listened to the dialogue a little more closely this time, and marveled at how very good/clever it was.

The Matrix

 Came out in 1999.... seems like only yesterday. ????????

 

I saw it on VHS originally, might watch it again if there's a 1080p copy.

Introspectum Motel 2021  up there in the galaxy.

An enjoyable thriller. 

 

 

Some of the worst acting I have ever seen, especially the receptionist at the hotel. The whole thing is like a 2nd rate porn film. Why are half the cast British when it appears to be in some eastern European country, well done if you get to the end of this rubbish.

Congratulations. That must have been a big relief and....oh, you meant The Matrix. Never mind.

[dukeandduke]

Thanks to whomever recommended "Aranyélet."  I just finished Season 1. It's crazy, but so am I.

 

I read a preview that is misleading:  "A rich family...."  Luckily, I didn't need a more accurate representation to entice me. They're struggling financially and in many other ways.

I agree it was pretty bad, but did you work out what the "third option" was at the end?

Great series just finished number 3. Some plot holes but you can forgive them for the acting and locations

Anne Boleyn ----BBC --last night...3 episodes

The final months of Boleyn's life, her struggle with Tudor England's patriarchal society, her desire to secure a future for her daughter, Elizabeth, and the brutal reality of her failure to provide Henry with a male heir.

 

Yes there have been (Just) a few comments about the picking of the lead in Anne Boleyn.

 

In Fact--Historians are now reviewing possible meaning of the entry in Henry’s diary “Going to try to get rid of blackhead on top of wife’s shoulder today......

 

 

I have never seen a 1.1 rating on IMDB before...

That's actually a high score considering the re writing of history by portraying a white hetro sexual Queen as a black bi sexual, utter tripe.

It was possibly one of the most important times in English History. Instead of an educating drama about the ramifications this had on the whole of world -- BBC dished up this mess. Makes you wish they were public Company, and had to rely on advertising etc......

Last and First Men---Movie 1h-10m

 

Whatever you do don't watch this--go to the dentist instead.  Being a Sci-Fi fan in a rush-I just downloaded it--I was about 20 minutes into the film before I realized there were no actors--not only that, but the whole "Movie" was pictures of stones while this women rambled on in the background. IMDB gives it a 7 ....

 

"The score was nearly perfect and the story was quite compelling. As art, I liked it quite well"....... IMDB
