'Shawshank Redemption' probably for the 20th time but who's keeping count? Bill Moyers up next...

Damn! Billy is going to have to wait, "The Green Mile" just showed up. I'm in heaven!

Went to the Cinema Cafe over in Kempsville last night and saw
"Django Unchained"....Thoroughly enjoyed it. Not the biggest Tarantino fan
but he did good with this one. His best since "Pulp Fiction", I'd say.

Regards,
Dave

I'm looking forward to seeing that. I hear DiCaprio is very good.

I liked Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction a lot (but these days I can't watch the Stealer's Wheel scene after a certain point). The Kill Bills were okay but if I didn't really like the cheesy Shaw Bros. flicks and the good chambara movies I probably would have liked them as much.

Jackie Brown? Pretty good, IMO.

Inglourious Basterds was a waste of celluloid.

True confessions here. We watched the first season of Downton Abbey this weekend - and I liked it. I thought they did a good job of providing some depth and balance to the characters. Of course, a mini-series format provides plenty of opportunity for such development. Dame Maggie Smith is amazing in her role.

Anyway, so much for having any street cred here.

Regards,

D-Ray

Just a couple of old softies over here, too. It's cool that the great house is the Carnarvon family home, the dude who financed the King Tut expedition. The income from this TV show has afforded the present Lord and Lady Carnarvon to rehabilitate some of their historic abode. If you get a chance watch the behind the scenes episode, they even have some artifacts from Tut's tomb that they show off.
Cheerio, Bob

I can't believe you guys waste all that time watching movies when you could be watching FOX.

Husband and I sprung for an On Demand movie called "Flight" with Denzel Washington. Wasn't very good and we would have quit watching half way through, but, we had paid for it and kept hoping it would get better.
