Liam Neilsen plays the same character in dozens of films.

Yes, I'm not a fan but was told by colleague it wasn't a bad film at all. To be fair, it wasn't quite as ridiculous as some of his stuff and I did watch it to the end, which I haven't done with a few of his other films.

It was shit. Predicable and you knew things would go wrong.
And I hated the dog being shot. Yeah. I'm a softy.

Now watching Heartbeat.

Brimstone. Not least because Liam Neeson wasn't in it!

Very good film with an excellent performance by Guy Pearce!

The Good Liar on Prime. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Started watching wheels of time on Prime. Got monsters an everyfink. Not normally my thing but I seem to be getting into it?

Post by **Taipan** » Tue Dec 07, 2021 10:12 pm

Two Doors Down ! Series 5!

I still think this is the best thing for a long, long while and up there with OFAH, Auf Wiedersehen Pet etc.

I’ve watched a couple of these episodes now, I liked the monsters ( those were beastmen characters I’ve been depicting for over 35 years) but find the world building that supports the story completely crap and very unconvincing, loathe the new age hippy types meant to be a ‘culture’ , find the religious types to be cardboard cutouts. The sets look like sets and the wizardy stuff is a bit lame.
I like rosamund pike as an actor but she’s been given a weak supporting cast and crew.
That said, my wife seems to like it so I guess I’m stuck with watching for a bit yet, hopefully it’ll get better but ant more new age crap will just switch me off even more.

It has the 'look and feel' of a BBC production. Diversity boxes? Ticked. CGI budget blown on just getting one part of it right? Tick. Casting budget spent on a single name draw? Tick. Other actors playing simple village folk shipped in from Hampstead, the rest from Central casting? Tick. Better baddies than goodies? Tick.

Still, it's 'okay' and I'll see it through. Whether I'll bother with the second season will depend what else is on.

Scottish sit Com about life in a street. Once you get into the characters it really is funny. Very well written and not very pc at times!

Yep - it came out last week.

Not really all that revelatory, you could probably have guessed the major plot points if you'd read the previous 8. I'm not especially put out by that, if anything i'd be annoyed if they'd introduced new concepts etc. for the sake of it. I hate it when people say "hey look, all this build up over thousands of pages didn't actually matter!".

I'm actually more looking forward to TV series 6. As I've said before, I reckon the TV series is better written than the books.
