AJBangkok Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 On 12/18/2017 at 11:40 AM, Psimbo said: Along similar lines I'd put S3 of Narcos up there as well- it seems to be a popular theme at the moment (haven't tried El Chapo yet). Watched American Made last night about Barry Seal. Not a great fan of Tiny Tom but an interesting perspective on the whole thing and a decent film. Season 3 of Narcos probably wins the best returning series award. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psimbo Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm just about to give up on The Brave. The Nigerian shopping mall episode was dire at every level (pardon the pun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real revelation watching Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary from Downton Abbey) as an American con-artist and junkie. No idea she was such a good actress.

I was the same- glad I didn't give up on it in the end. Watched an interesting documentary, 'Command and Control' about a Titan missile explosion in Arkansas in 1980 yesterday. Why were Titans in Arkansas- because it was the head of the appropriation committee's state- PORK! Addenda- it was just outside Damascus- spooky!

Psimbo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 A bit off topic but we don't seem to have a movie bit. Have watched Last Flag Flying and The Foreigner over the past few days, both pretty good. Cranston great in the first one, as was Brosnan (and Chan- who seems to look more and more like Dustin Hoffman) in the second. Darkes Hour with Gary Oldman next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Just watched the first 2 episodes of Hard Sun. Brit police drama with somewhat different lead characters than the usual formula. Everything becomes deadly when they stumble upon a huge secret Governments want to keep hidden from the public. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6402362/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't work out what to make of it at first. Also just watched The Snowman. Kinda remided of Fortitude, likely because of the bleak snowy conditions (makes me feel lucky to live here - jeez no way could I live somewhere like that).

Just seems to major on the hardship of frontier existence with a story (if there is one) that takes for ever to unfold. Was quite surprised given the headline reviews it got, less surprised once I delved deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent using Tapatalk The Foreigner is based on Stephen Leather's The Chinaman. Obviously in the snowflake world we live in now the title would have been unacceptable! One of his better books and worth a read. They did a good job raising it from the 90s to present day. Intrigued by The Snowman- based on a Nesbo book, all Skandies in the production team and it's marketed as a Brit film, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Ferguson and Val Kilmer (really??). But it does plod. Decent enough twist though. Sent using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The Grand Tour season 1 was horrible. However the season 2 feels a lot more like Top Gear used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Don't know if it's been mentiond but a new season of Wheeler Dealers started a little while ago. Edd China, the mecanic has been replaced by Ant Anstead, but it still works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
