Re: RIPPER STREET

Hi Anne: (Talk about late...) I found this on Netflix and really like it. I think the setting in time and at the dawn of forensics make this a most interesting show. I like the lead actors and the relationships. Matthew MacFayden is very good and I think the stories are very interesting. It can be a...

Re: PBS

"Doc Martin" has started its 7th season on PBS this last Sunday. Life is still a problem for most everyone there.

Re: Sherlock on PBS

I haven't seen this new one but we have started watching the first three on Netflix. We have really enjoyed them. We have never been huge Holmes fans so there isn't much history to compare but we plan on seeing more of them.

Re: What recent films have you seen?

At the heart of most MAD MAX films there lies a western. They are often short on plot, long on action and there is a group on the run. MAD MAX: FURY ROAD keeps to this tradition in fine and exciting form. It's all about the chase. With the legends of the car chase from "Bullet" and the Ind...

Re: Excellent episodes of madcap series airing this weekend.

I have never been a big science fiction fan and the one time I tried to watch the sets and acting looked so cheap I never went back. I know that failing has been corrected but I've never thought to revisit it. Is it still a science fiction type show or is more of a "Twilight Zone" without ...

Re: Love Affair or An Affair to Remember?

I saw some of "An Affair To Remember" this morning and I really enjoyed the scene with Grant and his grandmother. She is just the sweetest thing. I love how she is to Deborah. She is very warm and welcoming. I have seen this one several times but "Love Affair" only once and so fa...

Re: What recent films have you seen?

I saw "The Martian" the other night. Two things struck me in that I didn't get the sense that Damon was as panicked as I thought he might be. Everything seemed to come to him pretty easily. (I don't think I'm putting my own reaction on it too much.) SPOILER I thought of the sling shot way ...

Re: I'll Be Seeing You

Just stumbled on it the other night. I also agree with everyone else's thoughts. I thought the scene where Shirley spills the beans to Joseph was particularly moving not only for how natural Shirley plays it but for how Joseph silently reacts. It all goes on so quietly with no big fights but the dam...

Re: Let's talk about Jesse Stone

Actually, I think you should watch the second one first. "Night Passage" was shot after "Stone Cold" but is a prequel. Watch "Stone Cold" second and then the rest come in order.

Re: RITA HAYWORTH - The Love Goddess

No need to take any blame upon yourself. You are being honest and that is what we all should be. You have brought a unique perspective here and it is mainly through my lack of knowledge on some things you mention, and what would seem my inability to get to see some of the these things, that put me i...

Re: Let's talk about Jesse Stone

Vienna: After the 2012 showing CBS dropped the series. Like so many things in TV now CBS didn't like the fact that the audience was older than they wanted for the money they spent. (Besides Selleck was busy with Blue Bloods.) It took most of that time for someone (Hallmark) to agree to financing the...

Re: House Of Strangers

She is the center just by being there. She has three or four lines (it seems) in the picture but her stating they had so much more when they were in Italy, they had love really puts your "wealth" in perspective. How heartbreaking for a mother to watch her family fall apart and there not be...

Re: House Of Strangers

I thought I had seen film's most dysfunctional family when I saw "Long Day's Journey Into Night." After having seen "House of Strangers" it certainly ranks up there among families you would least want to live with. Edward G. Robinson plays the patriarch of the Moneti family and h...

Re: Westerns

One western you can avoid is Clark Gable's "The King and Four Queens." The film is just plain boring. It really looks good in HD on TV but that can't make up for how tedious the whole thing is. Gable comes to a ranch belonging to the mother of a former cellmate. He has heard rumors of gold...
