What are you watching tonight?

[William the White]

Yesterday I watched Sin Mombre - Mexican, i think. spanish lang, subtitled.

A gang member kills the gang leader and has to try to reach the US border and cross before the rest of the gang catch up with him, taking a new-found romance with him.

Dark, disturbing, violent. And good.

Great film

On the subject of Spanish language films, I saw Sugar at the weekend. Would highly recommend it.

Tell me more, please...

A film about a baseball player leaving the Dominican Republic to play in the U.S. So much more than your usual sports film.

Creepy I did the same thing last night and really enjoyed it too (after thinking I wouldn't)

No.

Watched "Restrepo" last night, a documentary following a small group of US Army soldiers who get posted to a tiny outpost in the middle of a valley in Afghanistan that get attacked from all sides on an almost daily basis.

Started off really well, was shaping up to be the best and most up close and intense thing Ive seen about the conflict so far - but it fizzled out a bit unfortunately!

Was mainly struck by how much the outpost theyve made, their attitudes about the poeple and place and their experiences there resembled Full Metal Jacket!

I love Kick-Ass too, saw at the flicks but been watching it on sky again this week. (why so many English actors tho? never convinced by Mark Strong as a villain, and hes not convincing as red mists dad! surely they couldda got some mean-ass American to play that part?)

Anyway, I watched episode one of 'The Corner' myself. im hooked.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Mark Strong is great, you need to widen your horizons bucko

The Corner is top isnt it! It gets grimmer and grimmer as the episodes go by, some of them look like lepers by the end of it

[tw trope]

[/tw trope]

the film about the marshall university team is ok as well.

There was nothing on the box last night so I watched I love you Phillip Morris.

Its a true story about a gay guy (played by Jim Carrey) that is as straight as a circle. It shows how he made money as a con artist and ended up in prison a good few times. It then showed how he escaped time and time again. I really enjoyed it (apart from the few gay scenes) but once past all that stuff it was amazing how he found ways to escape over and over again.


If you can deal with the gay side of things i highly recommend giving it a watch.

[TANGODANCER]

He played an Israeli intelligence chief in a film I watched not long back (can't just remember what) ?. Thought he was very good actually, as in most films I've seen him in.

History and mystery night. Tut-ankh-amun : The mystery revealed. 5 at 8-0'clock. But not tilll next week

The Bible's Buried Secrets, Part II. BBC 2, 9-0 clock. The female equivalent of Dan Brown goes off on another flight of fancy, heavily intersparsed with "I think. I don't believe, new evidence suggests, the Bible isn't telling the whole truth, mis-representing the past etc, "it's quite possible" etc, etc. All very big-eyed, dramatic voiced "revelations". The Bible is policyism and God had a wife. All rather desperate, suppression of feminism, and what else is new? . Much easier to just admit nobody really knows . Next week she's off to find the Garden of Eden. Can't wait.

[General Mannerheim]

is anyone else watching Blue Bloods?

does anyone agree its nowt more than a glossy US version of The Bill?

I do like it, but its just a 'new crime/case solved' in every episode, no cross overs and there is never much of a twist either. Donnie Wahlberg is the hero then they all sit down for a massive dinner. end of. there is a underlying sinister family secret thing too, but nothing is coming of that either.
