I watched "The Gymnast" last night..and I really liked it. Now I'm interested in that whole ariel gymnastics thing..it's like this cool melding of graceful dance and the strength of gymnastics. And that beautiful song that plays at the end by Jane Seaberry..loved that. Isn't that the same actress that starred in "A Marine Story"?

The new season of Lost Girl premieres Monday, January 14th, 10pm on Syfi. No idea when it will get to Neflix. I loved her hot kisses with the doctor. Darn that old girlfriend.

awesome! I am hardly ever up at 10PM. I'll see if Syfi offers past episodes online. It's a little corny, I admit and the girl on girl isnt all that hot but it is network TV. It feels a lot like True Blood which I love. I'm going to have to invest in Tivo I guess! |

While Gaige was visiting...I tortured her with some Morgan Spurlock. These are my favorite episodes of "30 Days"...
Life on an Indian Reservation Minimum Wage Muslims and America Off the Grid (featuring The Dancing Rabbit Eco-Village, a group I have been watching from afar, since their inception, with monthly newsletters and direct communication over the years) Immigration 30 Days in a Wheelchair Animal Rights (this one made me cry, because of the inclusion of animal abuse) Also, we watched together: The Walking Dead Doctor Who Catherine Tate I have also been recently watching: The Tutors Downton Abbey (BBC) Merlin (BBC) No Reservations Doc Martin (BBC) Sherlock (BBC) |
I watched a movie called "My Normal". It had a good plot idea, but it was choppy, and I think they missed the mark a little bit on the "moral" of the story. Some themes seemed in opposition of each other, and some things that got a lot of attention never proved to be of any significance later. Acting was okay for most characters, there were two standout performers. I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars - kind of interesting, but don't expect any awards.
|
I enjoyed "30 days" also.
Now in my queue is 'Foyles War', I'm really enjoying it. Haven't really watched much fiction lately but this series was recommended to me a couple of years back and I'm glad I decided to check it against the 20 minute test. On the 4th episode now. :movieguy: |
I have become so wrapped up in Downton Abbey, that I am now watching season 2 on Amazon Prime (free with AP), and I've already purchased season 3, which is not available on AP free videos. I believe it has also gone on to season 4. YAY!
I'm going to watch some now (and possibly end up having a siesta ;)) |
Well, I've been through "The IT Crowd" about three times now, and have started on a couple other British comedy series. I've also been watching some very interesting gay/lesbian documentaries. "Small Town Gay Bar" was a really good one. I've discovered that I don't actually watch 'movies' on Netflix lol

You should check out "Shameless" |

Have you seen the documentary on Chely Wright... My Own Way? She was a C&W singer...after she came out, she has not been invited to perform at any of the awards for C & W music... If you get a chance, watch The Gymnast, The Marine, Weekend Trip, The Redwoods...to name a few.... |
Has anyone seen the series, Breaking Bad? I am going to order it, I think, all 5 or 6 seasons!

I've been watching the new $100million series of "House of Cards" commissioned by and broadcast exclusively on Netflix. It is directed by David Fincher and Joel Schumacher and stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright - it is REALLY GREAT!!! |
Breaking Bad is Awesome!! Arrow is good too.
Currently loving Elementary. Modern Sherlock Holmes in 'merica with Jonny Lee Miller (of Trainspotting fame) as Sherlock and Lucy Lui as Dr.Watson. :thud: |

Ya oughta watch the Brit original. It was really good. :cheesy: |

I've recently watched both the Swedish and the UK versions of 'Wallander'. Have you seen either? I watched the Swedish version first and loved it. I was really surprised to discover I enjoyed both (in different ways). And I no longer think that Kenneth Branagh has become an over-inflated caricature of himself. I actually liked him as Wallander. Have you seen the Norweigan version of 'The Missing'? A friend of mine, in Blighty, mentioned it. There is an American version I quite liked, I'm told the original version is great. But I can't find it anywhere. |
I've finished up Foyles War and truly enjoyed it.
I'm now onto Wallander (Brit version) about 4 episodes in and have another winner! May want to watch the Swede version too. As long as the US doesn't get ahold of it, we'll be fine. :movieguy: |
I watched a movie called "Tiny Furniture" It was interesting in an odd way. I couldn't shut it off.

Recommendations:
Some of these were short-lived. All TV series. I rarely enjoy a regular movie anymore. I haven't watched all the episodes of all or even most of these, but enough to recommend them. Life -- a cancelled network series with the guy who stars in Homeland. Merlin Supernatural Sons of Anarchy Warehouse 13 Dresden Files Dirty Sexy Money Commander in Chief Lost Girl Burn Notice In Plain Sight Star Trek Deep Space Nine The West Wing Alias White Collar Damages On Amazon Homeland Justified Covert Affairs NCIS Rizzoli and Isles Leverage Castle |
I was kinda disappointed with Kevin Spacey's 'House of Cards'. I thought I would love it since I'm a huge political nerd, but it just seemed a bit off somehow-- the political scandals didn't really ring true and were somehow less disturbing than a lot of real political scandals.
'Never Sorry' about Ai Wei Wei is really interesting and inspiring as is 'How to Survive a Plague'. |
Hart of Dixie -- season 1 on Netflix
On Amazon, season 2 up till now. |
I just found another lovely BBC series, Larks Rise to Candleford. I am already in love with the cast of characters, some of the actors are from my other new favorite, Downton Abbey, and there is the added bonus of a series that includes Dawn French, whom I can't seem to get enough of! There are already 4 seasons available, and IMDB shows that the series is still active.
It is not on Netflix, it is on Amazon Prime (free movies/tv shows with yearly membership). I didn't think anyone would mind if I posted about Amazon Prime programs here, because it is also a streaming service, and I just didn't see the need for a whole new thread. |

LOVED The Tutors! And a coworker of mine recently recommended (highly!) Walking Dead, which I am LOVING as well! |
Downloading Nancy w/Maria Bello.
|
Eureka. I am liking it so far.
|
Romance..
"Odine" w/ Colin Farrel...
"A Matador's Mistress" w/Adrian Brody & Penelope Cruz. |
Romantica~
Passion Play w/ Mickey Rourke
|
this is a huluplus recommendation (not netflix)
"The Long Way Down" and "The Long Way Round" Ewan McGregor and his best buddy plan two epic journeys on their motorcycles with limited support staff. In 'The Long Way Down' they drive from Scotland to South Africa. And in the 'The Long Way Round' they drive from London to New York, the eastern route (via Russia, the 'Stans, Alaska, Canada and finally the continental US) |

Did anyone see Albert Nobbs with Glenn Close? This is an amazing film.
Having for decades disguised herself as a man while working as a butler in a posh 19th-century Dublin hotel, a woman calling herself Albert Nobbs reconsiders her charade when a handsome painter arrives on the scene. Holly I love love Downton Abby~! I'm addicted to it. I can't wait for season 4. I had to buy season 3 from Itunes. :) |
Quote:
Ooooo that looks good Holly! Larks Rise to Candleford Yes, post Amazon Prime! I love love Prime not only for the fast FREE shipping which pays for the cost of membership but the videos and books. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tablet that I love but kept my kindle fire just for amazon movies. |
Love me some Abbey too--
Downton Abbey is such a wonderful piece of television; all the characters have wonderful range and such authentic emotional texture, I'm quote enjoying it! <<<< said with a British accent of course.
There have been few filmmakers who have enchanted me consistently like the work of Australian Peter Weir. More recently you may have appreciated his "Master and Commander" with Russell Crowe-- but earlier work like "Gallipoli", a coming of age/redemption/war is stupid/duty and honor (starring a young and virtually unknown fellow Aussie Mel Gibson)--- "Picnic at Hanging Rock" (thinly veiled homoerotic girls/women and some weird local legend, beautifully shot)-- "The Year of Living Dangerously" (an amazing film starring Gibson again, paired with Sigourney Weaver and introducing Linda Hunt AS A MAN / she won the Oscar for her role) Thanks all for the other suggestions, I'll definitely be spending some quality time with Netflix soon! Hope you're all having a nice Sunday-- |
Ro-Ku, Ro-Ku, Ro-Ku,
Just watched Forks Over Knives and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel I am so falling in love with my ROKU!
