What did you watch last night?

[Mayday]

BBC latest 3 parter. The Control Room.
2 episodes in and I want to know what happens but don't want to watch it.like Midsommer Murders meets Some Mothers Do Ave Em. Non of the characters deserve any sympathy whatsoever.
Poor.

Ha!
I've done exactly the same thing AND said the same thing. It's a ridiculous show.
I'll watch the last one tomorrow night though even though I'll regret doing so no doubt

Tombstone (1993) Disney+

I'd forgotten how good this is. Great cast too.

[Metal Hammer]

Terminator: Dark Fate While not a bad film per se I guess the dark fate is the fact we have to put up with a film maker who thinks we want to see a female driven film (really that is not the demographic who generally watch this sort of film) with all the main action characters played by women. If that makes me a misogynist then so be it but it seriously gets on my wick when agenda's take over from free thought and creativity.

Tis a great film indeed. However, I do prefer 1994’s Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner. Having said that, Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday is better than Dennis Quaid’s.
It’s a great western story that has been filmed 4 times since John Ford’s My Darling Clementine in 1946 with Gunfight at The OK Corral being the 4th version in 1957.
To be fair, I like all four versions and enjoy watching them all, but if I had to choose my favourite it would be the 1957 version with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. It was the first version I saw and it is one of my Dad’s favourite westerns and always makes me think of him when I watch it.

Our Friends in the North

It's from 1976 and tells the story of a changing Britain through 4 young friends in the North East as they grow up and old.

Half way through a 9 part series.It's all in there, class warfare, revolutionaries, corruption, vice etc

Excellent viewing, with the cream of British acting on show, Gina McKee, Daniel Craig, Chris Ecclestone and Mark Strong.

There was also Doc (Perry, 1971) starring Stacy Keach as Doc Holliday. Faye Dunaway's in it too, and Harris Yulin (Ozark, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) plays Wyatt Earp. Not the most faithful retelling of the gunfight iirc but it counts. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there weren't one or two more adaptations from way back but westerns from that early pre-50s Hollywood period (of which there are hundreds) aren't my strong suit so I'm not aware of too many of those westerns and I've seen even less of them.

[Chicken Run Supreme]

Not forgetting of course, Bunfight at The OK Tearooms by The Goodies

[Chicken Run Supreme]

Our Friends in the North

Outstanding TV drama which stands the test of time and was a real landmark series. Fantastic acting from the whole cast with a mixture of established actors like Malcolm McDowell, Peter Vaughan and Alun Armstrong mixing it with unknown actors at the time who all went on to great success.

The best British TV drama series of the last 30 years

The Gray Man

from a really good book series by Mark Greaney they managed somehow to make this almost John Wick 4.

passed a couple of hours, great locations, poor story line, loads of excessive blowing up, tram /car wrecks more than a touch of the Jackie Chan's escape routines. piss poor Freddie Mercury wannabe "baddie" wasn't sure whether we were supposed to take it seriously or laugh along with the unfunny tag lines.

as I said though, passed a couple of hours without me having to think too much.

from a reviewers review probably an 2/10. from an entertainment review probably a 7/10 if you have nothing else to do and just want to see a combination of John Wick/Jackie Chan films, which isn't in and of itself a bad thing. doesn't have the darkness of John Wick though. only the action scenes and the number of people killed.

Primal Fear for the first time. Despite a slightly unbelievable ending, very interesting film; Ed Norton and Laura Linney were fantastic.

The White Lotus

Went into this not expecting much, but actually thought it very good.

Yeh we enjoyed it also, the Hotel manager was played brilliantly.
