I'm fairly sure I've recommended it before but Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown is back on.

A very easy watch. A mix of travel and food. IMO one of the best travel/food series ever.

Great show. So sad hes not still with us.

Also would give a thumbs up for the Ailenst per an earlier poster

It's a BBC show, so it's maybe a rights issue and we're not getting it?

They Live. One of those carpenter films I never saw for some reason. I know it from pop culture, etc but Christ that was disappointing.

I was expecting it to be far more craic than it was. didn't have the fun factor I was expecting. And seems like they didn't exploit the premise as much as they could. Am I wrong?

loads of fun factor and the longest and greatest on screen fight ever

Also a couple of familiar quotes for anyone who has played Duke Nukem!

Watched Trial by Fire the other night. Good film, thanks to whoever recommended it. Jack O'Connell plays the part very well.

The definition of a great popcorn movie IMO.

Seymour-Hoffman was so annoying in it though..

.. amazing to see the career he carved out after it.

It was a very Jack Black type performance

Ferris_Bueller

Watched 'The White Tiger' the other night and thought it was very good.

Also agree with those who said Sherpas was worth watching!

dublin49

have watched 2 of the three Johnny Worricker triology with Bill Nighy,Kinda of MI16 espionage drama with some razor sharp dialogue,if its action you are looking for though,look elsewhere.The first one is called Page 8.Worth a look ,especially if you like Bill nighy.Good supporting cast,Christopher Walken is in the second one.BBC made so as always good quality.

I posted about this yesterday, but then deleted because I was unsure if the deal will affect us here - the Sony press release specifies that this is an "exclusive first pay window licensing deal in the U.S."

Why the heck does melissa mccarthy keep doing these crappy comedies with her fecking husband?!?
She is such a funny screen presence in the right film, and can you ever forgive me shows she can do dramatic roles....it's just such a waste of her talents

Age of Samurai : Battle for Japan

I thought it was amazing. I knew a lot of this period before as they make computer games on this era of unifying Japan.

Ruthlessly cruel and violent warlords battle among themselves and in the end there is 250 years of peace.

They have some authors and professors jumping in and introducing characters and giving the facts while you watch the drama. Seamlessly done

Yeah, she needs to work less with Falcone and do something different. She has the talent.
