    Yeold. Two films I have on my "to see" list. I love the Mission Impossible films. Not Tom Cruises biggest fan, but these are great entertainment. Also saw a film called Edge Of Tomorrow/Live Die Repeat recently starring Mr Cruise and that was also very good. Will recommend my two and the Mrs go and see Inside Out over the holidays. Talking of cartoons and tear jerkers. The first ten minutes of Up. ;weep Went to the pictures and saw the new Jurassic movie a couple of weeks back, again great entertainment, although possibly a little predictable. MJ, also saw Pacific Rim recently and thought it was very entertaining, but not quite as good as Transformers, and of course no Megan Fox ;diva ;phew

    There used to be a really good bakers called Bartons, in Walthamstow. Did great doughnuts. Got taken over by Percy Ingles though. Mind you, their doughnuts are excellent as well.

    Don`t know if this has been done already over the previous 30 pages, but my daughter has recently introduced me to a fantastic new (to me) TV programme, and that is Modern Family. Have always liked American comedy, and have also recently started watching The Big Bang Theory which is great and am a big fan of Friends, Frasier, Everybody Loves Raymond etc. But I think Modern Family (at times) tops the lot. A slightly unusual format, but the acting and writing are first class, and it is genuinely laugh out loud funny. ;biggrin ;ok

    Just sitting here watching Keanu reeves over act with an appalling English accent in Dracula.

    Just started watching Gotham as it's now on Netflix. Very good so far. The tv series of Daredevil was also very good

    Watching Masterchef Junior. Is it ok to hate an arrogant 12-year-old?

    Madcap ;ok love modern family.. Also love 2 broke girls ;diva ..I tend to only watch comedy rather than heavy stuff!.. Recently here in SA we got new series of Blandings and Raised by Wolves , which both I love ;run ;ok

    Jay ;ok Unfortunately I don`t have much time for TV, but there are countless series I see snippets of, or see advertised etc that I would love to watch but simply don`t get the time. One that really appeals, as I like horror/zombies etc is American Horror Story. The quality of a lot of the TV series now (mostly American) is incredibly high, so much to see, so little time.
  • WrathChildWrathChild
    Madcap - American Horror Story is excellent. A bit gruesome at times though so not for the squeamish. I love the fact that each series is a new concept with the same cast (Murder House, Asylum, Coven, Freak Show, Hotel)
  • TheMadcapLaughsTheMadcapLaughs
    Wrath ;ok Will have to make a determined effort then.
  • WrathChildWrathChild
    If you have a netflix account the first three series are on there to watch at your leisure

    I finished the second season of True Detective last night and I'd give my review but I didn't have the foggiest idea what was going on! Seriously after watching 10 hours of a show I'm none the wiser than if I would have just watched 2 minutes!
  • TheMadcapLaughsTheMadcapLaughs
    Wrath ;ok We do indeed have Netflix. Will definitely give it a go. Ta for that. ;scary

    "Marshland" gets my vote for this week. A Spanish film set in the immediate post- Franco period about two detectives who are sent from Madrid to investigate the disappearance of two teenage girls in Andalucia.

    Has anyone seen 'Better Call Saul' yet?
    Loved Breaking Bad, so wanted to see this.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Yeah, I enjoyed it Twist. It has the same kind of humour, though plot is obviously very different.

    But seeing some characters in their earlier form is cool.
  • WrathChildWrathChild
    Twist - It's pretty good, but I didn't think it was as good as Breaking Bad. Worth a watch though.

    Thanks guys ;thumbsup

    Sully you dodgy little so and so......

    Pwoper nwaughty.......

    "I know nuffink about it, I wasn't there, never seen 'em before"

    Cracks me up, Claret & No Clue keeps promoting the movie by doing a competition to win two signed DVD copies......

    But he keeps thinking the title of the movie is "The Rise and Fall of the Krays"..... in his headline and leading/main article lines....

    It's not, it's just "The Rise of the Krays"......he's so impatient in getting his articles out there, he clearly needs to hire a proof reader.

    Sully actually talks of doing a second movie which is "The fall of the Krays"
  • TheMadcapLaughsTheMadcapLaughs
    Perhaps the next one will be called "The Rise And Fall Of The Krays"......... a bit like The Rise And Fall Of Reginald Perrin...... ;bowdown and every time Sully thinks of our manager he pictures a..............................oh, hang on................that would be the prequel.....................
  • simoncsimonc
    Its worth a watch but the acting especially the police inspector is very suspect - Definitely a "B" movie.
    Better luck with the fall ;biggrin

    Has Narcos started on Netflix yet? Looking forward to that one.
