TV and Film

I briefly re-watched Chernobyl over the weekend but it was just too dark for me then we went to see Jesus Revelation, it confirmed what I have always thought, people are using religion for personal gain.

The movie (2013 I think) "The Book Thief" is overly sentimental.

Sometimes that's just what the doctor ordered.

The Oscars last night... Best line goes to Hugh Grant, asked by a silly interviewer what he was wearing he said ..My suit !

Let's not forget he did have £10,000,000 "just go missing" a few years back, unbeknown to him.

So did we, but managed to catch presentations of the last three awards...Best Leading Actor/Actress and Best Film.

You maybe would not be too surprised to hear but so did I. It does not induce me to tears though

Im watching Bank of Dave a nice British film ( no explosions) good story a few laughs and it stars Rory Kinnear who I knew when he was a baby, because my mum worked for Roy and Carmel his parents..

Honestly I really don't follow Hollywood or new movies that much. I haven't even heard of this. maybe I live a sheltered life.

I have new Call the Midwife coming up tomorrow! Hooray!

I've also borrowed books and TV in the Miss Fisher's series from one sister, since she enjoys them so much she raved about them.

who was supposedly sexually abused??

oh. ya know, not to sound rude or mean or anything but since i wasn't an eyewitness there's no way to know if this news is fake or not. i never know who to believe for sure so i don't pay much mind to that crap.

I wasn't an eyewitness to Kennedy's assassination, either.  That doesn't mean it didn't happen. 

Nobody here is saying that you shouldn't watch or even enjoy Woody Allen films.  I just enjoyed watching Match Point a couple of weeks ago.  The marriage to his step-daughter is a matter of public record.

It can be difficult to separate the work from the person, especially once you know something they did or stood for that doesn't jive with your own beliefs. I would try evaluate the movies based on their own merit, but I might not be totally successful at that. So far, no movie by Woody Allen seemed to work for me, and I think that's based on the work itself...

I'm halfway through the A.D. series, still wishing they'd made it less violent. (I know the times were likely violent, but offscreen would be preferred and might have more impact.) I am looking forward to seeing Saul have his road-to-Damascus moment, though so far I think they picked the wrong actor for the part. Sigh.

I saw a list of 30 movies turning 30 this year and need to jot down the titles of the ones I'll rewatch. Groundhog Day and Mrs. Doubtfire are on the list, I remember that much. It'll be fun travelling back to the 90's...
