Accused BBC Episode one

Terrific piece of Noir.

There are five more to come.

Written by the guy who did 'Cracker', Jimmy McGovern.

Californication, Season Three

[JazzMode]

Pulp Fiction is my fav movie.

[mikelz777]

I just caught up with the most recent episode of Fringe.

***Spoiler Alert!***

I really like how they ended the episode with Peter in bed with Faux-livia when he gets the call from that lady with the message from the real Olivia saying that she is stuck in the other world. What's Peter going to do now?

Wallander Season two, the original.

First and second episodes.

Krister Henriksson is the Wallander, forget Kenneth Branagh.

[jazzbo]

More of the scary Kathleen Turner in Californication Season 3.

[Jazzmoose]

Barney Miller, season 2.

Krister Henriksson is the Wallander, forget Kenneth Branagh.

Nah! The real Wallender lies on the printed page and in our brains.

Haven't seen the Swedish series but have read consistently good things. Didn't care for the Branagh series based on a couple of episodes. The usual British thing these days of trying to polish off a 400 page novel in 90 minutes. The perpetual worry that we might switch channels if they don't keep things moving.

I agree to a degree but it's a bit like saying that the real Inspector Morse is the one conjured up in our imagination as we turn the pages. I would suggest that John Thaw's characterization has, for the most part, replaced that imaginary character with a flesh and blood one, whose face many readers cannot erase from their minds eye as they read Dexter's books.

Branagh's misjudged and overwrought portrayal never came close to approaching that kind of characterization but, in my opinion, Henricsson does. Besides having read all the books, I've seen almost all the Swedish series and strongly recommend them to you.

Classic Albums - Steely Dan - Aja

They are just as geeky as I imagined.

[kinuta]

The Tony Blair-Christopher Hitchens debate. Brilliant stuff from Hitchens.

Fringe, Season Two, Blu-Ray.

It was a great season. This new one is perhaps even better.

This week's Fringe.

Couldn't quite make out what happened to the alternate Agent Broyles, was he killed ?

[jazzbo]

Sure looks like it. I haven't quite figured that out, I missed a bit of it as I was getting dessert ready for the friends over watching with me, will have to rewind and watch it again later today and see if I can understand more. Interesting episode!

You certainly have a point there - Morse is definitely Thaw for me - I've never read the books!

I'll keep those Swedish Wallenders in mind - I like having a series on the go from the online rental company.

BBC Accused Episode 4

Andy Sirkis gets my vote for the finest British actor since Daniel Day Lewis.

[kinuta]

Finally finished watching the entire Da Vinci's Inquest series. Phenomenal, one of the best shows I've had the fortune to see. Anyone who likes The Wire should make pains to grab it all. 5 stars.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Seasons 3 & 2 (I accidentally watched them backwards, by the time I figured it out I was already hooked on the storyline, lol).

A replay of Giants/Phillies NLCS game 4 on Comcast.

[Jazzmoose]

Ah, there's nothing like a good game of "count the Volkswagon"!

I started watching Miracles last night. I'm kind of curious; I've never seen the last seven episodes.

URGH!: A Music War

Finally out on DVD! My brother-in-law worries about

holiday gifts for me, but he got it right this year.

Didn't know that this was released. Haven't seen this

in nearly 30 years. After it's official big screen release,

it was frequently a midnight movie event at many theaters later.

Now if they would only release "Dance Craze!"

[Jazzmoose]

I've never heard of it; I must see it!
