What are you watching

Finally got round to watching Spotlight which I recorded a while back after several recommendations to see it.

It actually reminded me a lot of All The Presidents Men.

Loved that film, read the book many years ago, and liked that too, when was the last time that was showed on tele?

[G-G]

Satisfaction - please watch this and enjoy.

According to my recording machine, it was last September.

Cross I missed it then as haven't seen it for years.

I found All The President Men to be quite tedious. Spotlight was better but not going to be rushing to watch it again.

I'd rate ATPM the better film. I won't be rushing to watch Spotlight again either. The content is too disturbing for me. At least I can say I've seen it.

Watched an old classic on Talking Pictures tonight - Up The Junction

Currently making my way through my collection of David Attenborough "life" DVD's - up to Life of Birds at present.

Only watched most of season one Breaking Bad: will now get stuck in to the rest.
Also taped The Virtues with Stephen Graham

Dr Strange. Loving Disney + and so glad I stumped up for it, even if Soph isn’t so sure

Currently working my way through Gomarrah really enjoying it but not for the faint hearted.

Gomorrah is great, especially the first season, but I watched it for the second time at the end of last year. So too soon to rewatch. Liking that you would almost certainly enjoy Romanza Criminale, the series. There is a film of the same name which was pretty good but the storyline of the series is not too dissimilar to that of Gomorrah except that it is set in Rome instead of Naples. It is a realistic depiction of how an ordinary group of lads are seduced by the 'glory' of being a gangster.

Gangs of London first episode I liked

It's pretty gruesome, not one for the kids

[granger]

The Michael Jordan documentary on Netflix is a must watch. A good year for sports documentaries after the Diego Maradona one that Channel 4 broadcast.

I'm looking and I like but not hooked

MJ was a pretty bad boy himself, unless it comes out in one of the later episodes he is being painted pretty favourably

In credit to the show and American sports in general, the access to video footage is incredible

There is some interesting stuff on the new Smithsonian channel. Liking the colourised footage and the informative Aerial America.

I just caught the last half-hour or so of a film on Talking Pictures TV.

It's called Man of Aran, made in 1934, a faux documentary, and is supposed to be about the lives of the people of Aran on the west coast of Ireland at the time.

I've resolved to watch and record it the next time its on. I was totally gripped by that last half-hour.

The revamped Van Der Valk on ITV could have been so good. I really like Marc Warren but it’s not gripping me so far and WHERE is the iconic music??

Just finished the 2nd series of Afterlife, enjoyed it.

I didn't watch it 'cos was afraid it would have the original music! How many hours of my life, when at junior school, spent playing that on the recorder to perform at the school's summer fete? Be glad if I never hear it again!
