Don't know if you have reached the young deputy from Duluth yet, the one with the daughter...

But he is Tom Hanks oldest kid, Colin Hanks.

Grand Budapest Hotel - 9/10

 

Great movie. Right up there will Wes Anderson's best. Can't say enough good things about it. Funny. Great story. Actors are all incredible. Especially Ralph Fiennes. Didn't know he had the comedy chops to pull a role like this off. Highly recommended.

Dallas Buyers Club - The best movie I have seen in a long time. Fantastic.

Orange Is The New Black (season 2) - Might be better than the 1st season. Netflix has done a fantastic job with their shows

Yeah, I rewatched this again after picking up the blu-ray. Still great. More violent than I'd anticipate from a Wes Anderson movie and probably the most plot of any of his movies.

 

Ralph Fiennes was pretty good in In Bruges, though definitely a different kind of comedy than in Grand Budapest.

World War Z - C+

 

Enjoyed it. But it was pretty meh.

 

22 Jump Street - B+

 

Jonah Hill is annoying and I want to break his nose when I see him. Tatum Channing is also annyoing, but together they're hilarious. Ice Cube is great too. The ending was too silly and long, but otherwise the movie was hilarious. 

[nate]

I love me some Jonah Hill.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Just rewatched True Detective. Phenomenal all over again.

 

Hope the 2nd season holds up to the first.

Power

 

Run of the mill crime drama that's on the level of Magic City/Sons of Anarchy/Boardwalk Empire. Just started, but the three episodes have been above decent. They also have some potential with the story arcs.

 

Show is about a drug dealer trying to go legit owning a night club and having to balance the two.

22 Jump Street

 

Pretty bad. Couple funny parts and I get it's a popcorn throw away flick. They dropped some subtle gems where I was the only one laughing, while I didn't laugh at the obvious stuff like a dude running into a goal post and the place erupted.

Just watched the British series "The Fall."

 

Fantastic series. The Brits are incredible at fitting an entire season into 5-6 episodes, when most American shows take 12-13.

BBC, ITV, etc..... OWN American TV.

BBC, ITV, etc..... OWN American TV.

That's ludicrous. We just put out far more crap due to volume, but if we were as judicious as they are, we'd be hitting for the same average. Per capita, we probably produce as much excellent programming.

Brits love their dramas.  Or as they call them "dramars".  BBC does put out some amazing programming.

 

Brits really suck at comedy though.

Well Big Brother new season (16) just started.

 

Under the Dome season 2 starts tonight.

[Tank]

looking forward to under the dome. they were just about to hang someone when last season ended.

[Tank]

headed to my brothers time share next week and went shopping for some dvds to watch while we're out there. found season one of breaking bad for $10 and bought it. it's been highly regarded around here so thought i'd give it a try. not sure if i'll like it.

[Brandon]

Breaking Bad is a cumulative and growing thing. SHould still be good as a stand alone, but I would have never thought it would be as great as it was just watching the first season.

 

Either way, hope you enjoy it or at least don't find it a waste of time.

I'm simultaneously watching the American version of The Bridge and the Danish/Swedish version of The Bridge.

I did that with "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" and its German source material "Es ist immer sonnig in München."

 

I was shocked by how much they were exactly the same.

agree. Hans Friedelbaum is an incredible actor.

Caught the first episode of "The Last Ship."  Seems like it might show some promise..

 

My buddy forced me to see the new "Transformers" movie, instead of "22 Jump Street"...  It was a visual-treat, but I just can't get into the whole robot/alien thing.  Plus, every time Marky-Marky opens his mouth, all I expect to hear is, "I'm a peacock!  You gotta let me fly!!"

 

On a brighter note, I picked-up "Lone Survivor" on Blu-Ray.  It was interesting to see the story come to life, but I was disappointed that they added the last battle in the friendly village (that never happened), instead of being true to the actual story..  Other than that, it was great to see this story brought to life.  Those are some tough mother%^&ers.

Taylor, how is the other version? I loved the first season of the American version.

Has anyone watched Tyrant?
