Love that movie, one of John Landis' best.
Bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, wheel it out every six months or so...never gets tired.

Next up...Trading Places? :)

Samuel L Jackson is the bloke who tries to rob the restaurant. Just a bit part before he was famous.


I've been watching Enter The Dragon (1973).

Beverley Hills Buntz

If you remember Hill Street Blues you'll remember Detective Norman Buntz (Dennis Franz) who, in the last episode, punches Chief Daniels and resigns.

In this spin-off 'dramady' series Buntz goes to LA with Sid The Snitch (Peter Jurasik) and starts a detective agency. 13 episodes were filmed but only nine were ever shown, and only once each, and only in the USA. It's never been released on VHS or DVD and for almost 30 years it was impossible to see it.


Now some bloke has discovered that he still has 6 of the 9 episodes on tape from back in the day. Sound and picture are a little rough and you'll need to skip the ads but after 3 decades we can finally get to see how it all worked out for Norm.

I'll look out for that, sounds good. Used to do a bit of that myself. Mk3 Escorts. Mate did the mechanicals, I did all the monkey work like the valeting. Buy them at £50 sell them at £325. The reason for £325 was that my mate was convinced that was the sweet price point, and it was his show. They did sell fast, though.

The Equalizer (2014)

https://i.imgur.com/znwO5UG.jpg

Denzel Washington is an ex something-or-other, blah blah. He takes a dislike to some drug dealers and kills them all.

And that's pretty much it, really. I don't know if there is supposed to be any connection with the TV series but the good thing about the TV series was that Edward Woodward was an overweight old man but he could still beat up young punks. Now Denzel may be knocking on a bit these days but he's still a big, athletic looking bloke so it isn't really surprising that he can go through the baddies like a dose of salts. There's no jeopardy, you never think he is going to get so much as a scratch and he doesn't.

There's no memorable scenes or great dialogue, just him killing people and lots of arty cinematography. A complete waste of the world's resources.

Bad Day for the Cut
(on Netflix. HD. Dolby Digital)

Northern Irish action thriller. Good film. Small budget but very enjoyable. Just goes to show that you don't need a massive budget to make a good film.

Well that was a waste of time, you never saw them come off the van at the other end so don't know what he did with them, they looked in good shape. It was intimated he got the rest of the 'Hifi set up' but couldn't see what that was, could have been a Strathclyde turntable.

Looked to me like there were 2 turntables. I was surprised he did not have a clue about the ESL, and the bloke selling them didn't either even though they belonged to his old man.

I can recommend USS Indianapolis; Men of courage. The true story of the ship that delivered the atomic bombs later dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and it's subsequent sinking by a Japanese submarine. Very well written and acted, even Nicholas Cage doesn't over act for once. It also doesn't shy away from detailing the attempted cover up and court martial of Captain McVey. 8 out of 10 from me.

I didn’t remember it having canned laughter but only in certain scenes? (Usually involving the Barman, the purser and the doctor). Sometimes they seem to press the laughter button too early before the ‘funny’ line has been completely delivered.

Macca

I think they originally showed it without the canned laughter in the UK, same as they did with MASH. Or maybe I'm not remembering that well, aside from the other day I last watched it in about 1984.

Some channels now show MASH with the laugh track on and it doesn't work at all. Ruins it. They aren't too good at judging when it should come in either.

The BBC are re-running the 1990s Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth), which we're binge-watching over a couple of evenings while it's pissing down with rain.

It's been a very long time since a movie has affected me so much. I spent a long time afterwards thinking how, in some ways, the film summed up all that is wrong with the world today - the sheer unbridled greed of a small proportion of society.

It's not a bad film - certainly one that makes you think, and IMO better than The Matrix.

'The New Avengers'

On True Entertainment channel. Normally it is just flagrant false advertising on this channel and they just show pap. But now they start with proper telly. And a classic episode as well, the one where Purdey is kidnapped and Steed punches Gambit in the balls so hard it knocks him out.

Everything about this is proper telly. The opening credits. The theme tune. Great characters. Everyone, male or female, agreed that Purdey was the best. The cars: You've got a Jaguar XJS and Broadspeed, Rover SD, Triumph TR7. Plus good story with loads of fighting and action. Brian Clemens was the writer, and he could always write a good spy yarn; he wrote all the best episodes of 'The Professionals' as well.

The channel advises the some scenes are unsuitable for children. Well I watched it when it was first on in 1977 age 8 and I didn't have any issues. I remember discussing this one on the yard at school on the following Monday morning, that punch in the groin being the main focus of course.


No-one is making anything as good as this today.
