    Based loosely on the film, Wrath. ;ok

    Completely different characters and stories etc, but same setting and feel (dark comedy, atmospheric etc).

    I'd spotted it on netflix. I'll line it up to watch ;biggrin

    Wrath - thought the TV series was good but the film is better IMO. Francis McDormand, William H Macy and Steve Buschemi all brilliant. Well worth a look.

    I think it's the film, not the TV series that is on netflix anyway?

    Stupidly, I haven't ever watched the film ;doh Will try and watch it before I carry on with the TV series.

    Firefly was good before they axed it :(
    Loved the theme tune :)

    "Take my love, take my land. Take me where I cannot stand.
    I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me...
    Take me out to the black. Tell them I ain't comin' back.
    Burn the land and boil the sea. You can't take the sky from me...
    There's no place I can be, Since I found Serenity.
    But you can't take the sky from me."

    Also liked the theme to the most recent star trek, Star Trek: Enterprise ? wasn't much of a fan of the show but the theme song was great.

    "It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
    It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
    And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
    And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

    Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
    I´m going where my heart will take me.
    I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
    I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
    I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart."

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but can I recommend a film called Four Lions. Made by Chris Morris (Brass Eye and The Day Today and the writers of Peep Show) - a story about four wannabe jihadis - "a cell of berks who all want to strike a blow for the cause but can't strike a match without punching themselves in the face."

    " brilliant film and astonishingly funny" WORD

    Iron mike ;ok

    It's a very good film and oddly accurate. It was actually on the 'reading' list during my Masters ;lol Superficially it can be simply seen as funny but it's actually got a lot of depth to it and shows a lot about that world. The end, with the container, is very powerful.

    Outcast - Agee entirely - a very funny film - but so much more. Says a lot about the 'human condition'.
  • WrathChildWrathChild
    Mike - You've got to be one of the only people other than me who enjoyed 4 Lions

    I see they are making a 'Taken 3'.

    Taken is one of my favs

    I've started to watch 'House of Cards' on Netflix, thank you for the recomendation.

    Kevin Spacey is brilliant ;bowdown
  • LukerzLukerz
    4 episodes into breaking bad and really enjoying it so far. ;ok

    Four lions. Absolutely brilliant film.

    Twist - loved Taken. Wished they'd stopped there, though.

    Just watched the 1st episode of the new Dr Who (a bit late, I know).

    Wasn't too impressed. Bit dull, imo, plus the effects were a bit ;puzzled ;doh

    Without any plot spoilers, can anyone tell me if it gets better?
  • HamstewHamstew
    Has doctor who ever got better ;sofa
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Philistine!
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    It does get better yes.
  • TwistandShoutTwistandShout
    Luke, you're probably right mate, still enjoyable films though

    Mrs Grey, i don't watch it but a few people i know have stopped watching, don't think the new guy is very good!
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    twist it wasn't the acting, it was the writing (plot, script, etc).

    suz ;hmm Will give it another chance. Only one, though!
  • MoojorMoojor
    I haven't watched many of the new ones yet, but the few I have seen, probably 3, haven't been up to the quality of the previous doctors.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I agree Moojor.
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    I blame the NHS cuts for these poor doctors ;yercoat

  • LukerzLukerz
    lgh - Band of Brothers is superb. Probably my favourite ever show. ;ok
  • localgroundhopperlocalgroundhopper
    Luke ;ok I wrote to them years ago thanking them for their sacrifice during ww2.
    They hold a very special place in my heart.
    I have most of the books written by them ;poppy

    Got stuck about half way with Band of Brothers, and couldn't find the will to finish it.

    ;nonono

    I loved it.

    Haven't seen anything (film or TV) that has come close to that level.
