kinuta Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Finale of The Good Wife. Nicely done. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 30, 2012 Report Posted January 30, 2012 Agreed! Didn't realize it was the season finale. Quote
JohnJ Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Finale of The Good Wife. Nicely done. Which season is that? Currently midway through season one. Terrific show, perhaps the best thing currently on Cable TV in Tokyo. Quote
jazzbo Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 I just saw that another episode of The Good Wife is scheduled for Feb. 19. I agree John, this is excellent network television. Quote
kinuta Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 I just saw that another episode of The Good Wife is scheduled for Feb. 19. I agree John, this is excellent network television. Quite right Lon, I was wrong. There are two more episodes listed as airing on February 19 and 26. John- the whole series has been available on the internet. Although it's still possible , ableit more difficult, to watch the new episodes as they appear, the backlog of older episodes has been mostly lost, thanks to the FBI. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 I've just watched the latest episode of a very cool show on Velocity called "One of a Kind" where they feature unique vehicles. This segment was about a vehicle commissioned by Norman Granz, a '54 Cadillac that was fitted with a custom-made cabriolet body by Italy's Pinninfarina coach-makers. Just gorgeous! Quote
jazzbo Posted February 3, 2012 Report Posted February 3, 2012 Yes indeed. American muscle and luxury, Italian design. Apparently there were a number of collaborations between Cadillac and Pinninfarina. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 5, 2012 Report Posted February 5, 2012 Finished last night. Absolutely superb. At the start it had a 'West Wing' feel to it - nice liberal Prime Minister, nice family, each crisis surmounted by fundamental decency. But as the weeks unfolded Borgen was forced into making more and more compromises - politically and personally. The last episode was very dark indeed, the main character transformed into something much harder, much lonelier. Good subplots too. And there's another series at the end of the year. Next week we get Italian detective drama. Quote

What's the upcoming Italian detective drama ? http://www.tvguide.co.uk/titlesearch.asp?title=Inspector%20Montalbano Might have been on before. I've not seen it. As a fan of Donna Leon and Michael Dibdin's Italian 'tec novels I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Even if my Italian is not as fluent as my Danish or Swedish!!!! Quote
jazzbo Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 Finished this today. A show that I enjoy, just fun and breezy. Thought the "Stephentology" religion in the last few episodes was funny. Quote
Shawn Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Supernatural - Season One Slight but enjoyable series about 2 brothers who hunt down poltergeists, wendigos and other various things that go bump in the night. Loaded with guest appearances from other genre series (Amy Acker, Jamie Ray Newman, Amber Benson, etc). Edited February 6, 2012 by Shawn Quote
sidewinder Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 Saw this one for the first time last night - a long overdue viewing. Werner Herzon hits the bulls-eye mark once more, a great and intelligently put together movie. More than an echo of 'Fitzcarraldo' and 'Aguirre' in the jungle madness/obsession it portrays. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 Caught this on Netflix. Pretty cool. Quote
BFrank Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 Watched Three Days of the Condor on TCM last night for the 100th time. Doesn't get played on non-commercial, un-edited TV that often. Quote
BruceH Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 Watched Three Days of the Condor on TCM last night for the 100th time. Doesn't get played on non-commercial, un-edited TV that often. One of my favorite spy/conspiracy films of the 70's. "He will smile---a becoming smile." "You can take a walk, but how far if they don't print it?" Quote

I watched three or four episodes of Inspector Montalbano hoping it would grow on me but I just found it uninvolving and although it was pleasant eye candy I have to use the dreaded word.. boring. I prefer something grittier. The second series of Borgen also got off to an iffy start with the Afghan episode. We shall see. Nothing tops The Good Wife at present. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 I watched the first Inspector Montalbano and, like you, wasn't that drawn in - in fact I watched it over two nights. Nice scenery. The second Borgen series isn't due here until the end of the year. Quote
kinuta Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Luck HBO On paper this looks like a can't miss show but, two episodes in, I'm having quite major problems just following it. Clearly my lack of knowledge of American horse racing and it's vernacular is a serious impediment to my enjoyment. Quote

Don't feel bad; an article I read about new TV shows listed it as a bit of a failure. Quote
Shawn Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Any thoughts on Don Cheadle's new show "House Of Lies"? Quote
