mattingly Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 What We Left Behind, the Deep Space 9 documentary. It was in theaters across the nation for yesterday only. Quite good. It felt more like a bio-pic than a documentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Farewell my Lovely This is the Murder My Sweet film version from 1944. The dialogue runs wonderfully in this.

death tribble Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Lost Girl Season 1. A succubus discovers what she is and that light and dark fae exist. It is curiously uninvolving, Grimm is better. Vikings Season 2. The vikings return to Britain and end up in Wessex instead. Athaelstan is captured and released by the king. He becomes useful to both sides. Ragnar takes Princess Aslaug as his second wife causing Lagertha and his son to leave him.

death tribble Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Bedazzled Dudley Moore is a cook who is tempted by the Devil (Peter Cook) as he tries to get the waitress in the cafe where they both work. Raquel Welch makes an appearance as Lust. The Looking Glass War An agent recruits a Polish seaman to find out about East German rockets but it goes wrong. Revolution This is the Al Pacino film about the American War of Independence. Donald Sutherland also stars. It was made locally, to me, for some scenes. It just did not grab you. Inside Llewyn Davis a folk singer has a rotten time in New York. A Cohen brothers film. The Passenger Jack Nicholsen is a journalist in the 70s who swaps his identity with a deceased business man in Africa and gets drawn into the latter's life while evading his wife and friends. Made by the Italian director Antonioni. The Deep Robert Shaw, Jacqueline Bsset and Nick Nolte in a diving adventure in the Caribbean. It is still good although the voodoo attack on Bisset might be cut today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked both versions and thought they were both well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
