ending the day with Frankie Howerd in Up Pompeii (1971) with Michael Hordern and the very sexy Barbara Murray as his owners. The nubile Madeline Smith, the less than nubile Rita Webb, Bill Fraser, Lance Percival and Patrick Cargill also star. You'll either love it or hate it I guess but it is right up my proverbial Platea
Great Expectations (1946) Starring John Mills(Sir), Bernard Miles(Sir), Valerie Hobson, Francis L. Sullivan and Findlay Currie as Magwitch. David Lean(Sir) and Ronald Neames'(CBE) adaption for the screen of this Dickens classic and directed by Lean himself. Still the best by far of the versions
Agree it is by far the best I've seen but there must be 20 versions or something close. The Muppets should do one.
Anyway just watched 'Prometheus'. Part of my policy is to avoid buying more DVDs and just wait for films to come on TV. So I'm 2 years behind.
This is set in the Alien universe - and who doesn't like the Alien universe? But is only tenuously connected to the other films. Not bad, some good twists and turns and Charlize whatshername is hot doing a sort of 'Seven Of Nine' bit. There is something about a woman armed with a flamethrower...not sure what it is.
The Pacific
Not as good as Band of Brothers, but still a good war TV series.

Yes its very good Neil .I have the box set and as you say not quite at BoB level but still worth the admittance money.Quote:

Just finished watching this fabulous film. One of the best war films I have seen, and a very touching finale. It WILL be entering my dvd collection when I can afford to buy it.Quote:

Black Sea (2014) starring Jude Law. looks promising so far. DVD

EDIT: It was a decent film although fairly predictable, in storyline and ending I'd say. Fairly cheaply made too in modern terms at a guess. Worth a watch, but doubt I will rewatch in a hurry.
