Film and TV review.

i have the last episode of Prisoner of War series 2  to watch tonight. If anyone hasn't seen or heard of it, it is what Homeland is based on but in my opinion it is far better and much more complex.
I would recommend this highly, not sure if its available as a box set or to stream but worth tracking down.

I really should see this movie again. I think he was insane right up to the end - then he regained sanity and it came to him what he had done. 

--EDIT--

I was correct. I'm awesome.

Off to watch the new planet of the apes films tonight - looks decent from the trailers I have seen.

I think I will watch that this week - Really enjoyed the first one and this looks as good from the trailers.

Saw it last night and was seriously disappointed. The first one actually had a good story line, this one is predictable crap.

Really interesting show, that.

I like Rich Hall because he's like Bill Bryson - an American who properly understands how the rest of the world perceives them as a nation.

The most interesting thing I learnt in the show was the fact that only something like 30% of yanks own a passport.

That tells you all you need to know about them as a people....

Shutter Island is terrible IMO. It's getting harder and harder to believe that Scorsese directed a masterpiece like Taxi Driver when he churns out crap like that and Wolf of Wall street.

Any good thrillers for tonight ?

can you recommend ?

Heat's always worth a re-visit if there's nowt else on.

Or Crash. (The Paul Haggis one, not the Cronenberg one - that's gash.)

Just seen a trailer for a new Mad Max film - Awesome:

I've heard that new ape film is dogshit.

The dog film is meant to be top banana , but the ape film is too far fetch.

just finished watching the Vikings on the History channel, a great series! If you liked Spartacus and that kind of programme you will love this.

Anybody else watching that thing about Metro "Robbing Bastards!" Salvage on BBC?

I am embarrassed to be from Bolton watching it.......

What did they do?

I have just finished watching House of cards season 2. Brilliant show.

You know when Sky interview Bolton fans outside the Reebok Macron and they always pick the weirdest, most feckless, toothless, in-bred looking idiots they can find who shout: "Ah love Bolton, me! It's goin't be 8-0 t'ut Wahts!"and everybody in the rest of the UK then thinks we're all like that....?

Imagine that but with cars being smashed up and women who look like gorillas dressed in tarty clothes and make-up........

Grim viewing.....

A lot like Dallam in Warrington. Went in the bookies there yesterday and I was the only man in the shop who didn't have a tattooed face or neck.

Bing Bong!
