TV and Film

I watched two movies "The Nest" and "Death of an Author".

Add "film critics" to the "professionals" I no longer trust.

Also, maybe the cast of characters should include at least one "likable" character.

My second Christmas movie was actually another one streamed. It was called The Spruces and the Pines. The two families with those last names had a long-standing feud, but one gal and one guy from each side fell in love and ended up bringing everyone back together. Awww.

One TV programme I won't be watching is "Serpent Queen". It is sick and sadistic.

Maybe others will like it but I am not one of them.

I like light-hearted and funny TV programmes and DVDs. I definitely steer clear of horror. No: I like Father Ted, 2 Broke Girls, Charmed, Alias, Dark Angel, Tru Calling... There are also loads of kids films I love.

There are some brilliant films and TV programmes out there.

Thanks for the alternate review. Candy has got me curious..

We are still watching Designated Survivor.. but The Sandman came out yesterday on Netflix, so we started that, too... since Netflix likes to cancel shows if they don't have enough viewers when they are released. We usually wait to start on shows, but this one is in the same universe as Lucifer... but it seems they are going more with the vibe from the comic books instead of the route they went for Lucifer, so we figured we'd like it. The visuals are pretty great...

I am watching the boxset of "Alias: Season 2".

I watch these shows on retro tv and a lot of them are quite good. BTW, Pierce Brosnan, isn't that hard to look at.

That was a good film. Strange though...

I am guessing that is the name of a tv prog, and not a sexual frisson on your part.

Okay, I'm going to try "Star Trek: Lower Decks" again. I saw a TrekCulture video last night that started to convince me, then an IMDB review of the episode that made it seem like the show has reached a great point. Might be like "The Orville" and I'll join when things are running well, then not mind some earlier episodes that don't hit the mark? (Same thing happened with ST:TNG and Enterprise as well, according to all I've read. I still have episodes I like from their earlier seasons...)

I missed that season opener of "Lower Decks" as it aired, but I will likely be able to catch it on demand from the cable company. (I pay for a sci-fi channel from them, and then I get Doctor Who, all the Star Treks, and interesting movies from time to time.)

Last night, as a 4-months-till-Christmas show, I watched "The Runaway Bride" from my recently acquired "Doctor Who" DVDs. Now I wanna see all the episodes with Donna as the companion! (And the comedy skit with the Doctor as her English teacher...)

I finished watching season 2 of "Alias" and am now watching "2 Broke Girls: Series 2": also on DVD.
