we're also watching Designated Survivor, again it's pretty good but....the fucking music is getting right on my wick, high suspense music all the frickin time and it gets exhausting. It's almost like they've used the music to cover over the lack of decent script writing
How many things can you carry on a small motorcycle? How about a fridge, door, window frame? And that is just the beginning.
The award winning film The Song Of Sparrows is definitely one for the family to watch over the weekend. Funny, sad, inventive and very compassionate from master Persian film maker Majid Majidi. Superb photography. As for Tehran traffic!
Here’s a trailer. The full version with subtitles is available for free on YouTube.
By the by. Can anybody identify the bike? It says “Arshia” on the tank.
Stardust Directed by Matthew Vaughn - he of Kick Ass, Kingsman, X-Men fame. Phew! Lots of outstanding CGI and SFX - filmed mainly in the U.K. I recognised a few of the places on the Isle of Skye. No matter how vivid one’s imagination I don't think a reading of Neil Gaiman’s book could strike up such vivid imagery in one’s mind as is shown in the film. The outstanding star for me was Robert De Nero. Superb acting, as could be expected.
Must admit I am getting a little tired of films with sword fights no matter how good they are.
It was kind of okay but not as fantastical or as enchanting as Pan’s Labyrinth
We're on the last season of house of cards, just after Kevin Spacey was told where to go. It can be a bit boring at times, and the lead female character Robin Wright can come across as a bit wooden, but we'll finish it, seeing as we've only got a few more episodes to watch.
After multiple recommendations, we finally sat down and started Fargo. Nearly turned it off again as soon as it started as it has Martin Freeman in, whom i can't stand! But we did watch the first episode and I got over my dislike of MF and really enjoyed it. it certainly looks promising...

Half way through Band of Brothers, never seen it before, its pretty good eh.
I love Band of Brothers, I read the book as I was watching it and they managed to stay very true to the accounts of all the people in it. I even went to see Dick Winters' memorial when I was in Normandy a few years ago.

The original BBC series is well worth a watch as well, might even be two series I can't rememember for sure.

Finished The Serpent the other night. Very good drama about the 1970s murders of Charles Sobhraj.
I'm struggling with that one, especially as they keep dropping into French subtitles and i'm watching/sorta while working too.
Yea, subtitles don't work if you can't give it full attention. I found the same watching The Bridge. It's worth it though, I found it very gripping as it was based in true events.
