Film and TV review.

A note for the diary 27th July Bourne 4 out at the cinema. Don't visit the cinema often but the Bourne trilogy are my favourite films ever so I'm going to see it in cinematic glory.

Just watched a film called Keanu. Incredibly stupid but very funny film.

Agree. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have been watching The Phil Silvers Show (Bilko) for a while now. Still very funny with a virtuoso performance every time from Phil Silvers. It's on Forces TV every weekday and worth catching up with.

I've got the complete box set. I'll never tire of it.

Watched the episode where he discovers a new Elvis last week. Elvin Pelvin.

He gets some interesting guest stars on his show too. Recently we have had Ed Sullivan, Bing Crosby and Dick Van Dyke.

Saw a very young Alan Alda too.

Recently watched Norwegian film Headhunters (Netflix). No panda but a damn good movie.

That's the only Jo Nesbo book I couldn't finish.

It felt like it had been written by somebody else.

I might give the film a go instead.

I'm sure there are lots of good foreign films and programmes but I just can't be doing with subtitles personally.

How do you manage on here then?

I'm not cultured enough for foreign subtitled stuff. The shite posted up on here is much more my level of intellect.

Those Scandi films are all the same. Miserable buggers in big jumpers.

A big dollop of Arthur Askey would soon sort them out.

I thang yow.

Any of his you'd recommend, Bread? I'll be due a new book to read after this weekend when I finally... FINALLY finish up with Cormack McCarthy's Sutree. Finally cracked it after my 3rd attempt at reading it. Bloody hard work.

I'm like that with In Cold Blood by Capote - started it at least three times.

Anyway, as for Nesbo, just start at the beginning of the Harry Hole series with The Bat and work your way through.

Enjoy.

The brilliant Man Down started again this week, one of my favourites and Greg Davies is great

Not seen the new series yet, but Rik Mayall was brilliant as his dad. Won't be the same without him.

New Bourne film out in the cinema this Wednesday. Don't do the cinema often but going to make a point of going for this as I love the others even the Jeremy Renner parallel one

I thought the renner one was one of the best. Great series of films though. Ifnypu like these and dont mind something a little outside the box, try american ultra.
