Lol - for a second I thought you meant summat else! :eek: :D
Marco.
Made ya look [emoji38]
Indeed - I hope you get your valve issue sorted soon :)
Marco.
Should all be working now. have changed sources. may well have been because I was a member of the site (i used to do some corrections for them)
The Mouse That Roared. Not seen it since I was a teenager. It is okay. Not that keen on Peter Sellars on the whole, except for Dr Feelgood
This is Spinal Tap
Hendrix - biopic on True Entertainment channel but thought I would give it a chance. Pretty good, well-paced and the musical interludes are well done. Worth a watch if you see it come round again.
Liked the moose that roared, and the other one moose on the moon.... silly but good old Britcom's...Sellers was replaced with Ron MoodyQuote:

some Blackadder the 2nd tonight...hilarious
no matter how many times I watch series 2 , I have to say it always delivers... probably the finest single series ever....has it all:DQuote:

Its called the Idaho Transfer and is about time travel into the near future to escape a world wide disaster, the nature of which is never revealed. The research project is to be terminated but a small group of twenty something's (only the young can take the transfer process) try to survive within this bleak, cold alien future.
Interesting film and worth a watch.
I found it on the Alien Invasion channel (Within the Horror section) on Filmon Tv http://www.filmon.com/tv/live
Just found it here too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsf5RAwd1Ds
I don't know that one. Sounds interesting. I like bleak movies. 'On the Beach' and 'Arlington Road' spring to mind. Arlington Road is a favourite of mine, with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins absolutely convincing. Nice brooding sense of doom about this film. Poor old Bridges, starting off badly and having his world turned upside down, with things getting catastrophically worse and leading to total, spectacular disaster at the end. Wow! Great stuff!
Robbins was also great in the tragic horror movie 'Jacob's Ladder'. That ends badly too!
Now Ice Age 1 ...not seen it for a while and one of my fav's
Yes Arlington Road a very good film.Quote:

'In Search of Aliens'
Yes Georgio Tsoulakis from 'Ancient Aliens' is back with his own show.
Apparantly the Loch Ness monster dos not exist in the present but in the past and people see it because the quartz crystal in the surrounding rock causes some sort of electromagnetic effect that creates a time tunnel allowing it to be visible in the present.
Proper telly!
Is that how the Shakti Stones work?Quote:

True but it entertains me far more than some crappy serial they make up as they go along.
Under the Dome continues ....am into series 2 now. It is growing on me more and more this, and find myself eagerly awaiting the next instalment
well into series 2 now...in fact closer to the end than beginning. Still improving and it is worth staying with............
.......currently watching "Very Important Person" with James Robertson Justice, Leslie Philips and the hilarious Stanley Baxter(playing 2 roles). Justice, who was fluent in German, pulled a fast one, and improvised by swearing in German and it got passed the censors and director who both obviously didn't :eyebrows:
Watched 6 episodes of 'Wayward Pines' last night (& this morning) & just watched episode 7 recorded from Fox. The plot has more holes then Swiss Cheese but it's all very enjoyable hokum :)
Re-found my complete set of voyager disc sets. Whoopee. Will maybe give them a spin this week
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...011afb1c1c.jpg
Finished watching season 2 of under the dome. Have been enjoying this but series 3 is pay per view so thats it for me i think until they put it onto the prime content... worth staying with early on as it does get better.
Crooks Anonymous (1962) starring Leslie Phillips, Stanley Baxter, Wilfrid Hyde-White and the lovely Julie Christie. Directed by Ken Annakin who gave us the Battle of the Bulge and Those magnificent Men........ Great light comedy with some cracking scenes (pun intended):eyebrows:
http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...n2PU3ZevnA.jpg
Its running on Monday night on Channel 5Quote:

You should! Buy a copy of Radio Times to see what is on. Tonight, for example, there was an eye-opening programme about the drummer Ginger Baker. And BBC4 often makes Friday the day for interesting music programmes. At the moment they are examining the origins of 'rock 'n roll'. Fascinating stuff!Quote:

Extant series 1....amazon prime.... stars among others, Halle Berry, Pierce Gagnon and Grace Gummer.

we shall see what its like:)
just finish watching the 1954 ensemble film of the Priestly play "An Inspector Calls" . Cast members get pretty much equal time and billing, the best known being Bryan Forbes and Alistair Sim.
It is a superb film and the play and script has been held up as a masterpiece and is oft studied..It first went on stage in Russia in 1945 of all places.
one of my guilty little secrets tonight in "Little Nicky" (2000) starring Adam Sandler in the main role, ably supported by Harvey Keitel as the devil(his dad), Rodney Dangerfield and Patricia Arquette. Henry Winkler & Ozzy Osbourne appear n cameos as themselves. Beefy the dog steal many of the scenes

Wonderful movie with some great R&R... I'm on a highway to hell to finish:rock:Quote:

Have to agree bernie. Not my cup of coffee but this is to me a super film and he played the role well. He had a great support cast mind and an excellent script
Tonight's "Red Dwarf" night :lol: starting from series 2....Amazon prime content and again "Free" ;) my fav word these days:doh:
This film might surprise you guys...Quote:

Also check out Punch Drunk Love, was great in that too.
Spitting image of Bob Dylan here, which is weird. :)
Currently Cornelius Ryan's film adaptation of The Longest Day (1962). Pretty much everyone is in this Blockbuster set around the D-Day landings in Normandy in 1944. Ike supposedly walked out on his screening complaining bitterly about the film's total inaccuracy. That aside, and after all it is supposed to be a film, and not a docu drama, it works quite well imo.Ike always was a drama queen ;)
The Imitation Game (2014) stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear, and Charles Dance among others. ....War II, mathematician Alan Turing tries to crack the enigma code with help from fellow mathematicians.
Amazon Prime content
Making my way through Sense8 on Netflix.
Pretty good, written and created by the Wachowski's and J. Michael Straczynski, who was responsible for Babylon 5.
Intriguing how the various threads are laid out, its an enjoyable watch.
Only 12 episodes so perfect for a box set guy like myself. :)
Saw it at the cinema. It's a good film but I have a few criticisms: Turing did not solely invent the 'Bombe' or have much to do with Colossus: nor did he ever become engaged. But it does show Turing's guilt-free attitude to his homosexuality, and does suggest that his death by cyanide poisoning was probably an accident and not suicide brought about by the enforced chemical 'treatment' he was obliged to undertake as an alternative to going to prison.Quote:

Great idea and story.
Superb special effects.
Superb cinema-tography.
Verdict; one to look out for if you have not seen it.
