As long as they have done away with that ridiculous blowing up a celebrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Old Croc Posted February 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2018 A few nights ago I relinquished the remote to the missus and she quickly turned to a Thai movie. Unable to understand what it was about, I wasn't really watching until the extremely comely handmaidens started divesting themselves of clothing and the young lads put away their smart phones and started pumping away at said ladies with some vigor. The sex scenes kept coming and there was no sign of the pixilating guy nor the one with the cut off button. My lady was in shock and kept repeating " this is Thai movie, cant do!" I was less in shock than in thrall. The ladies, much better looking than the average pouting soap star on Thai TV, were showing most of their assets in what could only be described as soft core porn. One scene escalated to a threesome with writhing bodies everywhere. Then the screen suddenly went to white. Somehow I knew it wasn't going to resume with the same film. Thank you Phuket Cable for a different film experience. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Have recently enjoyed Reign, Good Behaviour (Lady Mary of Downton Abbey fame plays a drug addicted, alcoholic, con artist) & Dark which lives up to it's name & one of the best shows I have seen a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just finished Queen of the South Season 2, there's something about Veronica Falcon- she's not the most beautiful of women but you just know she''d half kill you if you rooted her. Same bunny boiler look that Kim's sister has. Chain of Command is a good NG series about the US military in Iraq and elsewhere. gets a bit too hoo-rah at times and syrupy at others as its designed for US audiences but an interesting view. Just pulled down S5 of Ray Donovan- I've never really liked it but it draws me back for some reason. WIll probably catch up on Aussie Rake before that though as I'm a couple of seasons behind. I had missed S2 of Dedicated Survivor tso that may be in the queue as well New seriess of Westworld and Elementary due out soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The Looming Tower looks good. First 3 episodes out. "Tracing the rising threat of Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, it takes a controversial look at how the rivalry between the CIA and FBI inadvertently might have set the stage for the tragedy of 9/11 and the war in Iraq." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6474236/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I watched The Windsors this week, a spoof soap based on the British Royal Family, on Netflix. Quite amusing if you like that sort of thing. If anything similar were made in Thailand the whole cast, crew and probably audience would be in jail! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 After watching E 4 of Looming Tower, to me, it seems to becoming more soap opera than anything else. It's concentrating way too much on the leading US characters extra-marital affairs, financial problems, fashion and religions. Even the despicable CIA guy had a tender hand holding moment with his besotted staffer. I struggled to get through this episode, It seems to have lost it's way at the moment. Perhaps it will pick up momentum as events get closer to the title occurrences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SooKee Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Seems a bit slow this season, to me.I’m enjoying The Looming Tower more.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWALKING DEAD SPOILER!!!Agreed. Not as slow as The Walking Dead though. Jeez, talk about padding!! The long goodbye to Rick's son (who seems to have become the evangelical light that Rick and Michone are now following) was the worst ever IMO. The constant to and fro between which group has the upper hand is also getting really tiresome (how not to organise a revolution!!), alongside Rick's never ending gazing into the distance. Only bonus is at least the trash people, who seem to have spent all their time researching stupid haircuts), have finally been zapped. Oh, and Rosita is still alive.Sent using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have now watched 2 episodes of Counterpart, but find it utterly boring. Dark toned scifi thriller. Any other opinions?

madmitch Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Watched a programme called Collateral on Netflix last week. A four episode mini-series based around the murder of a pizza delivery man in London. It was very good, especially for me, with much of it set in locations I know well. Plenty of sub-plots and contemporary issues covered; there was more to this than the typical murder mystery. Definitely a good binge-watch if you have four hours to spare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psimbo Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I've been binge watching Rake and just finished Season 4. It's truly excellent in my opinion, very well written, and for all Cleaver's faults you can't help but like him. There's normally at least one coffee spitter moment in each episode and Cal McGregor is the consummate corrupt politician. Cleaver is loosely based on Sydney Barrister Charles Waterstreet, Season 5 is currently in production and due for release some time this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 ex UK politician Michael Portillo is not exactly my cup of tea (he has a really mincing walk and dresses like an off duty Cavalry Officer) but his enthusiasm for the railways of the world is boundless. His latest series Great Indian Railways Journeys has just started and the filmography is fantastic. I have just pulled down S5 of his european one as well. The special about military railways is also worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagallim Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Highly recommended is "The Looming Tower". Based on real events, essentially it's about the rivalry between the CIA/FBI pre and after 9/11. Six episodes, and well worth watching. Some well known faces amongst the cast.
