This afternoon I caught Pride at Cineworld.

I loved it, throughout I was either grinning or fighting back tears.

i know im about a decade late but i started watching The Shield this weekend - think im hooked!

also this morning i watched the Amma Assante film Belle, about the black, illegitimate daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral who is raised by her aristocratic family in the 18th century and the obvious tribulations she went through. pretty good!

The Shield is good, but I found it a bit dated by the time I got to watching it. For some reason I stopped about halfway through season 5, which is odd because that season has Forrest Whittaker and he's great in it.

It is a great series

Without going into detail and therefore spoilers, tonight was brutal and also heart warming.

Found 12 Angry Men in its entirety on YouTube. Hadn't seen it before so thought, why not?


Superb piece of filmmaking!

Unless it's the Stoke Little Theatre version. That was shite.

Certainly one of my favourite ever TV series, as is The Shield.
I thought tonight's WD episode was outstanding.

I don't think we will have seen the last of the terminus lot...

I think that the tainted meat storyline will appear in this series.

Interesting that Morgan has reappeared.

off to see '71 tonight, looking forward to it.

Interested (not surprised) to read that scenes set on crumbling battle ravaged sectarian streets of 1970's Belfast were actually filmed in Blackburn :)

Same area in the T.V series Crossfire, acted in Belfast were filmed in the Street I lived in for twenty years. Mona Street,Halliwell. It's no longer there, demolished ages ago.

When basically forced to watch stuff that one otherwise probably wouldn't have, it can have a strange effect. I'm actually looking forward to tonight's The Apprentice. :?

EDIT: Wasn't on. :(

New film coming out with Channing Tatum and Steve Carrell starring in it...that looks bloody good.

The Rover last night, David Michôd's follow up to the properly ace Animal Kingdom.

not up there with the previous work but still great. very tense, unrelenting and brutal. just found the snail pace a bit annoying at times, the prolonged silences etc. it sets the bleak tone well enough, just a tad overdone for me.
