I finally got round to watching, "A Complete Unknown" and thought it was very good and Timothee Chalamet was really great in it and he sang the songs in the movie, as did the woman playing Joan Baez.

 

 I thought it was a really good watch---- some people didn't think it was up to it.

But for me great--I think it depends a little on where/what you were Doing when that song came out---Invokes a lot of memories--- also yes acting was good.

On that subject I thought Timothee's rendition of the songs was better than the originals!! Also I thought that Monica Barbero who played Joan Baez was excellent and she also sang  JB's songs.

 

 

Ten Pound Poms

BBC  --Drama -Series 2 ---first series came out 2023 --6 episodes 1 out---1 a week  (unless you have i player)  6.7 IMDB

Won't be of interest to most--set in Oz 1956, Under the £10 pound scheme Australia took nearly 1 million just from UK

That was about 10% of the price normally--- if you did not stay for 2 years then you had to pay back the full amount.

 

 

Blurb--The first series followed a group of Brits, often then referred to as Poms in Australia and New Zealand, travelling to Australia in 1956 for a better life.

Promised all of this for a cost of £10 they soon learn life is not quite as luxurious as they thought it would be and they have to adapt quickly.

 

 

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Netflix is showing this month--- although its 2011 its classed as the classic spy film of its time written by John le Carré--it's set in UK 1970s

Has a great cast--Lead role is Gary Oldman who is currently starring on the TV as  sloppy Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses, back by Colin Firth, 

Tom Hardy,John Hurt, Toby Jones, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch and Kathy Burke. 

One way to tell a good movie--its 14 years old---and Pirates still have 5 pages full of it being downloaded.

if you have not seen it----Its a great spy Thriller IMHO.

 

 

Thought this was excellent.

Two part series.

 

The Real Unforgotten.

 

Detectives unearth new leads in a forty-year-old murder case, methodically reconstructing events from fragmented evidence and aging testimonies.

Series 3 of Dark Winds has started.

 

 

Episode 1 was pretty good.

 

I liked the chess players' cameo.

 

 

One member here posted a link which led to a large multitude of USA channels Can anyone recall it?

That took a double take and had to rewind that to make sure I wasn't imagining things 

 

He is one of the Ex. producers, from the beginning 👍

Didn't know it was originally Israeli.

Wonder if the Z man will be in the new iteration.

I'll defo watch it; the US version- as I'm sure most of us will agree, was superb.

Good reviews.

Out this week.

 

When a 13-year-old is accused of the murder of a classmate, his family, therapist and the detective in charge are all left asking what really happened.

 

 

The whole season has dropped.

Reckon you might not enjoy it as much as the US version.

 

I enjoyed it more because I saw it first.

When you sought of know the outcome etc, it loses a bit.

 

Still, I enjoyed both.

Reacher Season 3,  Prime Target

 

Here are a couple of movies I found watchable. Flight Risk seemed so-so but takes off when Mark E Mark appears. Babygirl has Nicole Kidman for eye candy.

I hope this is good, I have been waiting for this - features Brian Tyree Henry from Atlanta 

This is good talent. Worth a watch with clever twists in the story.
