I watched The Abyss yesterday, it had it's moments but the ending was a bit corny.

On a personal ranking scale I'd give it 7/10 as opposed to nines for Avatar and Alien.

I suppose it shows that we all like different things in a movie or TV shows.

I'm currently in mourning after watching the last episode of Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

Jimmy Nail is an amazing comic talent, I have his Spender series to watch later.

I am glad you took the time to watch it ...thanks..

TV series Ray Donovon

From IMDB: Ray Donovan, a professional "fixer" for the rich and famous in LA, can make anyone's

problems disappear except those created by his own family.

A really good first series. For me, one of the finds of the year.

Do yourself a favour and have a look.

I watched American Gangster yesterday, a remarkable film.

I watched American Gangster yesterday, a remarkable film.

Yes, a fantastic movie with strong performances by Russell Crowe and

Denzel Washington.

In the extra's on the dvd, was interesting to note that the 2 main characters

Frank Lucas and Ritchie Roberts because quite close.

Amazing the level of corruption in the New York police at that time.

Nearly as bad as Sydney.

Sydney!!!!!! That is such a NICE city . Oh I come from Melbourne

The Family

Robert De Niro

Michelle Pfeiffer

Tommy Lee Jones

In The Family, a mafia boss & his family are relocated to France under the witness protection program after snitching on the mob.Michelle Pfeiffer's performance is the reason to see the film.

Luc Besson (Director)has built a career on stylish and thrilling action films, and "The Family" is a mess compared to such earlier efforts as "Le Femme Nikita" and "Léon: The Professional." But for what it is, it works, while reminding us and again to not take it too seriously.

Recently saw Broadchurch, which is an 8 part English crime drama.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2249364/?ref_=nv_sr_1

"The murder of a young boy in a small coastal town brings a media frenzy,

which threatens to tear the community apart."

Outstanding series, one of the best of the year.

I did recommend reading the book based off of the movie, before your see the movie. It will make a whole lot more sense. Like how the big guy recovered from the pretty nasty head injury, makes the drop on the special forces guy and then he asks about the angel he saw.

Just finished a BBC series called Peaky Blinders, which is about

gangsters in Birmingham in the 1920's.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2442560/?ref_=nv_sr_1

A really good show. If you like Boardwalk Empire, you will

like this one as IMO, it's a lot better.

Just watched "After Earth", Will Smith's father/son vehicle.

A bit average, I watched it right through but the other half fell asleep.

Agree 100 percent, although I did make it to the end.

I reckon they could have done more with the story. Too many gaps.

I thought Will Smith's part was too different to his previous work, I actually checked the cover to make sure it was him.

In what was a movie marathon for me I watched a second one last night, Iron Man which was much more entertaining.

Jeff Bridges exceptional as usual.

Watch out for Crazy Heart if you haven't seen it.

Mate I think you are getting old... crazy heart was released in 2009 Maybe I will bring you a walking stick ...you know I am just joking ... it was a great movie.

Although it isn't new, if you like a good comedy I recommend Django Unchained.

Watching "house of cards " at the moment ...great series ..

Would love to see Kayan Beauties. We have heard great things about the movie from our Burmese friends.

saw some clips of a new movie dont know if its released but its sure to stir up the feelings between the brits and the japs.

its called "the railway man" staring colin frith and nicol kidman about the building of the burma-thai.railway and the treatment that the japs inflicted on the workers.

i know a little bit about it as my mother's brother worked on it.

i dont think there is any forgiveness between the 2sides,i went to visit the cemetary at kanchanaburi and saw a few japs smirking at some of the grave's i had to walk away.

uncle john r.i.p.

It's been well reviewed in the Aussie press.

I see second movie of The Hobbit series got the thumbs up from several critics as well.

I may even try out the local theater for that one.
