TV and Film

It's a shame they didn't over dub Alan Partridge's version. 

Shaken, not stirred please...   

Oh no...  Stirred not shaken please...

Apparently, it is shown in usa on Prime Video.

The Dr and Donna it was good. Well worth streaming

I watched three Star Trek movies in November because of their release dates way back when. I think there might be another three in December, so that could be fun to do again.

I watched the new Doctor Who special on Saturday at lunchtime (available earlier, but at the same time as Shabbat service!) and then I chose another for the evening: The Husbands of River Song.

I have access to a lot more Who lately: Tubi for classic Who, newest Who on Disney+, and then my own personal collection has increased because there were good deals recently on the 12th and 13th Doctors' sets.

Also, I'm almost finished Season 5 of Call the Midwife, so I'll snag Season 6 today at the library. :

I watched Clueless last night. It was the last movie I completed before the middle guy was born, so it's a great reason to watch it on/near his birthday.

From the reviews I've read the new movie release, "Napoleon", is a bomb (dud anyway). The main problem is likely too much real content for a two hour movie.

A movie or better yet a series about Napoleon sounds wildly entertaining. But I knew it was beyond Hollywood, these days anyway.

I am intrigued enough now though to locate a good old history book.

I'm almost done with all the Star Trek December movies. I'd forgotten to check the first three ever made and was pleasantly surprised to find the very first was Dec. 7. I enjoyed it, though I did make the decision to snag the Director's Edition for my next viewing. Just one more tonight: Insurrection, which I've always enjoyed.

Time to get out the Christmas movies next!

I also have a lot of random DVDs sitting around to be watched/tried, from library book sales and such. So even though our public library will be closed between Christmas and New Year's, I'm going to be just fine as far as things to watch. (And it's not like I don't have hundreds of books in my house for print materials!)

And how could I forget to chat about the Doctor Who specials? Three weeks in a row! I liked them and I'm interested to see what comes next with a new Doctor. Definitely looking forward to the Christmas special. (Along with the Call the Midwife special, too.)

I watched the latest Dr Who at the weekend. I have to admit that it is losing me. Too much fantasy and too little science. I won't let on in case I spoil it for someone but I think it has lost it's way and is attempting to find a new direction. I read an article a week or so ago about it. Apparently the Christmas special will be Christmassy and have golblins. From the article it appears that the series will go more into fantasy. It's not really my cup of tea.

On a different note (and maybe you may think I am going gaga lol), I watched "The Famous Five - The Curse of Kirrin Island" on catch up (shown on CBBC). It does not get brilliant write ups but I really enjoyed it. When I was little I read all the books so recognised the characters easily. It is fantasy but simple childhood fantasy. Things like I dreamed.

Truth, I've never watched a single episode of Dr. Who. I assume the earliest episodes are the best.

From the reviews I've read the newest have devolved into woke claptrap. Wrong?

Jen, I appreciate the feedback, very thorough.

I'll likely just avoid the series.

Everything has a life expectancy, even Dr. Who.

Idk if you have watched it yet but I absolutely LOVED this show.
I saw it around forever and it took my husband convincing me to watch it with him
I regret nothing!
