    Just watched American Sniper , based on a guy called Chris Kyle US Navy seal
    true story directed by clint Eastwood , what a fantastic film .
    Bradley Cooper must win an Oscar for his performance as Chris Kyle .

    Recommend you watch this film ;ok

    ;ok Brookings.

    Oooo I saw a clip of that when I went to the flicks over Christmas.

    It looked realy good.

    Suz ;ok , my son copied it to disc for me ;doh ;wink , very good quality though
    I will go and watch it on the big screen as well its that good a film .

    If you read about Chris Kyle , some say American Hero others don't see him
    as a hero rather a born killer , the film probably over sells him as a Legend
    I will also read his book and make my own mind up , but the bits I've read
    on line I tend to think he was a guy that loved his country and would do
    anything to protect it and to be fair he did save many soldiers lives . ;ok

    Clint Eastwood must win another Oscar imo . ;ok

    Sorry Grey, missed this. Not really my sort of thing but thanks for the suggestion!

    Still watching Blacklist?

    No worries.

    Liked the first few episodes, but then it got a bit meh, so stopped.

    Yep, Blacklist is still one of my faves.

    I like the way they introduce difficulties, but resolve then relatively quickly, rather than having them dragging around the characters for ages.

    It's old but I've started watching Southland - cop show set in LA. Been through the first season. Personally think it's really good. Enjoy their efforts to look at the social efforts; the way police resources can be directed to the rich, the issues behind witness protection, the attitudes within the police force etc.

    For those who watched the first series, Vikings series 2 starts tomorrow (Tue 24th) on the Sky History Channel at 10.00pm.

    I'm a freesat guy, can't pay wont pay ;ok
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Admeus, Series 2 or 3? It's on it's third series now but maybe the UK is (way) behind.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    What do you think of House of Cards? I found the first episode of season three really boring. Haven't felt the need to go back to it since.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    ;ok M-H, I meant this season. I really enjoyed the first two seasons but the first episode of this one felt really different. I got through the first two seasons in a few days; this one, I haven't gone back to it at all.

    Watched Edge of Tomorrow enjoyed watching Tom Cruise getting killed repeatedly . A bit of a silly story but a decent pop corn film and Tom being amusing cowardly

    House of Cards is brilliant

    Completely disagree about blacklist, not a one show wonder imo. James Spader is brilliant, currently one of my favourite actors on TV and the story line is still brilliant.

    Well, apparently you aren't watching it...

    Not sure where you get the idea it has 'loads of pretty faces'.

    It's great 'popcorn' watching, for me.

    It isn't 'The Wire' or 'The West Wing', but then, it isn't trying to be.

    For me, it is the modern equivalent of shows like Mission Impossible or The Saint.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Blacklist i guess is different to you and I

    HOC though, definitely good not best TV show for me though. Game of Thrones takes that title quite easily by a country mile. HOC i found particular last series, has a good start then drops for a few episodes then picks up towards the end, imo very inconsistent. But when it is good it definitely is some of the best TV around.

    My TV habits are very much all over the place.

    I love Marvels agents of shield, even if it is cheesey (also best Female looking cast i ever seen in a TV program ;carew)
    I love GOT then again who doesn't.
    I love the Walking dead, even despite some episode floundering in places.

    HOC / Gotham / Blacklist / Mentalist e.t.c.

    I guess it depends if you have specific habits and so gravitate to certain programs or not.

    EDIT: i even watch some of the BBC stuff like The Musketeers for some cheap easy going entertainment and the 100 (which to be fair the second series of the 100 really has taken the show to a whole new level, first series was pretty bad, but credit to the massive improvements in second)

    Being told to watch Fortitude by a few people at work, one that if you can get past the first 2 episodes really kicks in later on. Anyone seen ?
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Sorry, m_h, when you wrote 'Blacklist is dire' I assumed that you wouldn't be watching it.

    I don't watch anything I think is dire, but maybe you have to for professional reasons.

    Personally, I take the show on its own terms, and enjoy it.
  • brookingsironsbrookingsirons
    yeold ;ok , yes I've been watching Fortitude agree its got better but still not that
    good to follow imo , sticking with it but not expecting it to burst into the standard
    of Blacklist or B/Bad .

    just finished 4th season of Game of Thrones Fantastic cant wait for the 5th season to start ;ok
