Just started watching Renegade Nell, rollicking good fun, over at Disney+



(They (Disney) now offer a cheap subscription with adverts)

Recently watched:

Curb Your Enthusiasm 12 (Series) - Not quite hitting the highs of previous seasons but with with some gold moments (the golf/coyote/puppy/Susie scene) - 8/10



The Gentlemen (Series) - Started off ok but the end was rushed and poor. - 5/10
Argylle (Film) - Pretty much nonsense from start to finish - 3/10
Mr. Inbetween (Series)- Fantastic from the start, right to the very last scene (Run!). - 9.5/10
The Beekeeper (Film) - Typical Jason Statham fare, easy on the brain. - 5/10
Death and Other Details (Series) - Not bad, (clearly a spoof) but the end really pissed me off. - 5/10
Slow Horses 3 (Series) - Excellent again, especially Gary Oldman as the disgusting Jackson Lamb - 9/10
The Bear (Series) - Very good, although I probably enjoyed series 1 more than 2 - 7.5/10
Beef (Series) - Very good - 7/10
Obliterated (Series) - Spoof action/comedy. Don't watch it with your kids. - 6.5/10

Slow Horses is definitely worth a watch

Just been rewatching these...

Just watched Baby Reindeer on Netflix. True story, great acting. Loved the ‘dad’ character. We thought it quite disturbing.

Ripley, on Netflix, absolutely brilliant re-working of the Patricia Highsmith novels. Genuinely funny too!

Yes, I watched The Talented Mr Ripley 1999 film last week and have just finished watching the new 2024 Netflix series. Both very, very different presentations and fine acting in both. I want to reread the book which I read many moons ago.

I am currently watching dark clouds scudding across the sky, with the occasional blitz of lightning, and accompanied by regular rolls of thunder.
Glad to be indoors looking out!

I am doing the same, counting the seconds between "Lightning" and "Thunder". Currently 6 seconds. Old rule of thumb is "3 seconds = sligthly more than 1km".

I remember reading about Sir Nicholas Winton a few years ago. Amazing true story. Just watched the film One Life….
