Film and TV review.

Ha ha, I watched it last weekend, or I should say I flicked through it because it was absolutely awful. It would definitely make my top 10 worst films of all time.

Yes it's typical Harmone Korine nonsense, he thinks girls in Bikinis and James Franco with a grill is some earth shattering philosophical statement about society.

The cinematography is nice but it's an absolute vapid mess.

I've been watching the box set of Jonathan Creek, I must admit I am very surprised at how good it is.

A bit old I know but i'd recommend it for anyone who never seen an episode of it.

I watched Captain Phillips last week, that was a great film, it was based on a true story about a ship that gets hijacked by some Somalian Pirates. 

I've also watched the Prisoners today, absolutely brilliant film, it's well worth watching, with a few twists and turns along the way.

I have just spent the last week watching the entire series of Dexter. I was a bit sceptical but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

Must have missed this when you posted it.

Two great films you have watchted their mate.

Captain Phillips was immense, Tom Hanks give his best performance I have seen since Castaway.

I'm not into motor racing, but my mate told me to watch Rush, which is about James Hunt and Niki Lauda. What a cracking film, a must see!

I've started watching breaking bad, it's going well so far...

It's bloody brilliant. You will not regret it.

Don't know if any of you caught 'I was there:The Great War interviews' on the BBC this week,but it's well worth watching on BBCiplayer.Humbling to say the least.

Has anyone watched "True Detective?" 

Just finished it.

Boring like you.

Long Arm of the Law bbc2 best tv I've seen in a long time.

You should write reviews for the new york times "angry dad"

Line of Duty finished last night. I thought it was great. Lots of twists and turns and unexpected developments with some excellent acting. Even the ending was perfect. In some ways it was a little like a British version of a James Ellroy novel.

I just finished season 2 of "House of Cards" by Netflix which I understand is an American remake of a British series of the same name. I find it to be very good if predictable in some ways. Has anyone here seen both? If so, is the remake faithful to the original?

Escape Plan.

Watched it last night and it's preposterous nonsense.

Avoid.

Watch the ''Lone survivor'' Mark Wallberg.

I enjoyed it, it was good entertainment.

Jamesy Boy was another movie I enjoyed. Going to watch the Grudge Match later, looks decent.
