'Southern Comfort' (1980)
In 1973 a squad of National Guardsman on exercise in the Bayou pointlessly anger Cajun trappers resulting in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
One of those films that totally grips you the first time you see it but loses some of that impact on repeated viewing. Still a good 'un though. Even Halliwell's gives it 4 stars.
Didn't like that too much. Powers Boothe died recently.Quote:

One of the very best esterns ever, but sadly overlooked by tv, possibly as its quite realistic. Mr Lancaster was one hell of an actor
'Yukon River Run''
People build huge rafts which look like what would happen if you crossed the Flintstones with Clunk's aeroplane designs from 'Stop The Pigeon', but in raft form, and then knock about on the Yukon selling timber and semi-starving.

Amazingly bad but kept me entertained for a couple of hours.
Trading Places from I think 1883 or thereabouts.
I like this film

I might give it one more chance, but the signs aren't good so far.
Watching later..
The Last Samurai (2003) stars Tom Cruise.
Quite good this from memory but its been a while.

Quatermass 4 (You Tube)
4 part mini series. Quatermass's last fight. An unseen alien force is harvesting humanity via massive blasts of pure energy, targeted at ancient sites - triggered by mass gatherings. Its not as good as the old series, or Hammer's Quatermass and the Pit, but enjoyable enough.
was always going to buy this and the pit series but never did. Got the film plus a few other Quatermass thingsQuote:

The Expanse (Blu Ray) Season 1
9 Episodes of wonderful, intelligent, well acted Sci - Fi. This is based on James S. A. Corey series of books.
Someone is trying to create a war between Earth, Mars and those who live on, in and mine the outer asteroids. Over and above that there is another threat, that doesn't, if it can, care where you come from, or live.
I really don't know why the Sci Fi channel isn't showing this in the UK, after all its a Sci Fi production (makes the other series look like crap), so why does bloody Netflix have it :( Fed up waiting I bought the Blu Ray from America.
Season 2 on its way to me. :D
netflix has it? ive got that now. must look for it:D
PSG v ASSE live BT Sport
'Passchendaele' 2008
A hero branded a coward is invalided out of WW1 only to voluntarily go back to protect the brother of his bird.
Not a bad film but it is poorly rated, I think because, although it follows the cardinal rule 'Always open with action', it then slows down to a glacial pace for a good hour before picking up again. Lots of Kubrick-style 'beautifully lit' scenes; it is a good-looking film, and a good story, just very badly paced.

I watch them sometimes on Sy-Fi channel but I always feel bad about it afterwards. There are maybe 10 decent episodes and about three good ones and even then Patrick Stewart is carrying the whole show.
