The pilot didn't blow my socks off but had enough to grab me, ep 2 was ok and 3 was very promising, but 4 and 5 were very meh. Canavale is mostly fun to watch but even he kind of became self-parody by ep 5 for me. There's only so many times you can watch someone do blow before it just becomes tedious - even a wildly charismatic performer like Canavale. Yeah episode 7 is tonight and I'm just going through the motions watching it. Could also be because GoT starts in 4 weeks lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, season 3 is confirmed. It's also been reported it could have connections to season 1, possibly even bringing back a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkdaub Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Tonight on standby at work I watched Thor the Dark World. I liked it for the most part but I have always been a Marvel Thor fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Finding myself unexpectedly alone for the entire weekend I've suddenly no idea what to watch. I've managed to miss both Trapped and The Night Manager on iPlayer. I tried watching Penny Dreadful last night. Only managed two episodes. It seems too care more about how it looks than anything else. I may try again in the future but I'm not in any hurry to do so. Today I spotted that Fear the Walking Dead is on Amazon Prime so I'm catching up with that, having only seen the trailer up til now. Maybe it's because I'm not feeling great but it feels so drawn out that I can't be bothered to give it my full attention. I wish they'd just get on with it. I'm up to ep 5, it sort of looks like it might pick up soon. Fingers crossed. Yesterday I went to see High Rise. It's fantastic. Incredible score from Clint Mansell, but then I expected no less. The guy is a genius. It's a pretty big cast and there are a lot of good performances but I think my favourite was from Luke Evans. That was a great bit of casting choosing him to play Wilder. It's quite a faithful adaptation. Just a few minor alterations really. The one change I'm not sure about is that it's not really explicitly mentioned why Laing was so keen to move into the tower and what was happening in his life prior to that. I feel like it's not explained in the film. I guess it's not essential to the 'story' though... I mean, it's not really explained why anyone does anything. It's just supposed to be caused by the influence of the architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in the mood for some more Scandi Drama,check out the Danish series Follow the Money ("Bedrag",original title). 4 episodes are out so far on iPlayer - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b072hbbl/follow-the-money-episode-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2 0 5 5 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Saw Atonement over the weekend. Thought it was a pretty good film. Felt very bad for Robbie. Very similar to Mads Mikkelsen's character in The Hunt. Why these little kids gotta lie? Joking, but felt terrible for each character. Got to see Secret in their Eyes. I was pretty confused throughout the whole film in regards to the time sequence. Maybe I had a few too many Coronas and couldn't keep up with past or present, but I was generally lost. I guess I just needed to pay attention to a character's hair or lack thereof; i.e. Dean Norris and Michael Kelly. Not a bad movie, but nothing I would recommend to anyone. ETA: Atonement was placed right next to Pride and Prejudice on Netflix. I was really teetering back and forth between those two. I'm sure they're completely different but I just related them to mid 2000's Keira Knightley roles. She was quite the lead actress in that time frame with the Pirates movies. She's damn good.

I think I read that too, is it (spoiler tagging in case Sioux Falls and Molly's dad? That would be great if so Watched Noah tonight. I was very unimpressed by it, although there were some fairly nice shots (mostly the stories - the fallen angels, the creation story [really loved that actually] but also some of the landscape shots too). The film just seemed lacking something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check it out. Last night I watched What We Do in the Shadows. I thought it was cute but not absolutely hilarious. A colleague warned me that his friend had almost wet herself laughing while watching it... so I guess it didn't live up to the hype. This morning I caved in and started watching WWZ on my Kindle but I only got about 30 minutes in before getting bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it got my wife and I started on Scandinavian tv shows. The Bridge is one we liked also. There is also a Danish show called Rita that was quite interesting.

Theda Baratheon Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It was either this or The Killing, but the Killing has like 20 episodes in its first season and I thought nahhh....better watch all 3 seasons of lilyhammer first for the same amount of eps...i always prefer TV shows to have about 6-10 eps per season. Even good shows. But I will still watch The Killing. The Bridge is on my list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
