I'm afraid to start watching this again since I knowI won't be able to stop. Other than The Sopranos and Mad Men, this is as good as serialized television gets.  Rachel Griffiths is outstanding, but she's just one of many. Quote
kinuta Posted February 18, 2019 Report Posted February 18, 2019 You have a point. It puts to shame the majority of today's tv fare . One reason I've been rewatching classic tv series is the lack of worthwhile films released in 2018. The best one I saw was Cold War and that sank without a trace. Â Â Quote

kinuta Posted March 1, 2019 Report Posted March 1, 2019 Continuing to work my way through classic tv series. I thought this would compliment Line Of Duty. Jane Tennison blazed the way for all female coppers that followed in her wake, and is still as sharp as the day she was created, with a peerless performance by Helen Mirren. The supporting cast is studded with now famous thespians . Kind of makes me throw up my hands at the banal stuff on tv these days. Quote
kinuta Posted March 4, 2019 Report Posted March 4, 2019 Endeavour S06E04 Beautifully done season finale. Best new tv episode I've seen in ages. Quote
kinuta Posted March 9, 2019 Report Posted March 9, 2019 Half way through the six episodes. Excellent. Quote

What a terrific series. Saw this a couple of weeks ago, a series about intrigue in Australia. Well worth a watch.   Quote
Matthew Posted April 3, 2019 Report Posted April 3, 2019 Star Trek: The Original Series -- The Cage. Falling in love with the Original Series again, it's fun and inventive. I remember all the episodes from watching it to death in much younger days, but it has aged well. Quote

sgcim Posted April 5, 2019 Report Posted April 5, 2019 2 hours ago, kinuta said: Great film Agreed. I just saw "Shoplifters", another excellent Asian film. Korea and Japan seem to have been making the best films for quite a while. I can't even count the number of great Korean films I've seen in the last four years. From "The Wailing" to "Memories of Murder' to "A Tale of Two Sisters", it just goes on and on. In Japan, my favorite filmmaker is Shion Sono. I've seen almost every film he's made, and I have yet to see one that is even mediocre. Quote
kinuta Posted April 5, 2019 Report Posted April 5, 2019 I saw Shoplifters too, but Burning was much better imo. Korea is making more films of interest to me than Japan these days. They have a boldness and willingness to push things that is quite different from here, although the geographical difference is small, the outlook is hugely different. I've see all the films you mention . The Wailing really blew me away, as did the zombie epic Train To Busan. That really impressed me with how a talented and creative team could take something as worn out as a zombie theme and turn it into something Hitchcock would have approved of. Quote
