Film and TV review.

Started watching my Arrested Development boxset recently. It was a birthday present that I asked for because it's highly regarded.

It's very American, but I'm enjoying it, sort of.

Has anyone seen it?

I watched 'Zero Dark Thirty' last night on Sky Movies. Great film about the hunt for Bin Laden. Watch it.

I watched the Imposter earlier today, it's based on a true story and you can watch the full movie on youtube. It's worth watching.

Anybody remember this?

Yeah I remember it SK. I was about 8 or 9 at the time and it totally fascinated and scared me at the same time. I can remember pleading with my mum to let me stay up and watch it.

Didn't they have a more up to date series of the same name...I seem to remember it being a bit like c files

They made some new episodes of the series apparently in 1995. The original series was filmed between 1963 and 1965. I never saw any of the new episodes so I don't know what they were like.

I remember seeing some of the new Outer Limits but the full 7 season series was never fully shown here.

I saw a couple from the first season one with Alyssa Milano - well she is a babe!!!!

I had to be a good boy to stop up and watch it. Do you remember the cards?

First lines of each episode:"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to – The Outer Limits."
Last lines of each episode: "We now return control of your television set to you. Until next week at the same time, when the control voice will take you to – The Outer Limits."
I was spellbound every week.

I watched a very old re-run of the first series and it was scary it was about this alien spaceship that crash landed on earth and the aliens were like ants with human heads freaked me out for an old sixties prog bloody good series.

Night gallery is good too. Think it's the one where rod is in an art gallery and he starts off with this picture depicts and leads into some horror story.

Anybody been watching The Tunnel? Seven episodes in, there can't be much left in it before the murderer is caught but the Police are doing some right fucking about, literally!

Not as good as The Bridge though. I feel they have lost something by extending it to 10(?) episodes. Nothing wrong with the two leads but the pacing is a bit off.

I'm halfway through Season 4 of Prison Break. I can't remember who recommended it on here but I'm glad I bought the boxset. I'm getting The Wire for Xmas.

Not seen the Bridge, somebody I know said it's similar plot?
