A western with the same old story, but well done nevertheless...

The new Mission Impossible, Dead reckoning.

Utterly, utterly terrible.

Unhinged with Russell Crowe. Enjoyed it a lot. 8/10

Fly on the wall doc. Amazing how far removed your average criminal is from the Hollywood 'criminal mastermind'. Thick as mince, many of them. One woman gives her son and three mates a lift to go chop up another kid with machetes, then makes up some cock-and-bull story, despite the CCTV evidence and one of them having a tag on during the murder. FFS.

Well worth a watch.

Really enjoying the fronch 'crime thriller' "Lupin" (on NetFlix). Very well put together, the protagonist is very engaging and it has enough thrills and spills without going too James Bondy and Jason Stathamy. More like a modern Scarelet Pimpernel or a Robin Hood - ish.

Season 3 is very disappointing

A while ago I realised all of these programs are designed from the start to make the police look good and not worth watching.
If that's not the case then police can only catch the most stupid criminals, which demonstrates the intellect of most coppers.

All the Light We Cannot See (short series on Netflix).

I read this in booky format some time ago (I was going through a phase of just reading 'award winning' - not Richard&Judy FFS - books as lazy selections on my holidays) and I remember thinking it was pretty good.

But this Netflix interpretation is dire - very saccharine sweet and whimsical, felt more like an effing Disney production. Big miss, I didn't make it past the first part.

Maybe I'll give part two a go.

Just finished Mr In-between on Disney and thoroughly enjoyed it. It takes a couple of episodes to tune in but worth it. One of the best series I've watched.

[Taipan]

Bailed on two films last night. First was Made in Belfast, which was the slowest, flattest film, I've ever seen 20 minutes of. The second film was Repression which was equally as slow and flat as the first...

[KungFooBob]

I watched The French Connection for the first time ever on Friday.

It's pretty good, if you ignore the jam like fake blood when people get shot.

I'm off now to pick my feet in Poughkeepsie.

[Yorick]

On my film thingy The French Connection came up.
Was a famous film so gave it a go.

Bit cheesy and at the end everyone got off. So maybe a complete non-story.

Shite

Cracking series, well worth a watch

Just watched that. Half way through I nearly jacked it but carried on

A few FARK moments. Blimey.

But shit to hear a crap cover version of Don't Fear The Reaper for the credits.

8/10

Disney “The Shepherd” bloody brilliant adaptation of the short story, I’m in bit’s watching it.
